You are soooo sweet!

But...believe me, I ain't worth the gas money. Just plain, unworldly, and not tuned into what everyone else is doing out there. Like someone from another planet, I am. As odd as I sound on this thread, I'm even more odd in person. I don't really "fit in" to this Earth and a short time in my presence can tell you that much. Sure, I'm good for some serious laughs and for entertainment, but pretty soon folks start acting nervous because they have never met anyone like me before.

Actually, that is the second most popular line I hear after people meet me...the first is "You should write a book!!!" and then they finally say, "We've never really met anyone like you before!"~~~~and I'm never sure if they are saying that like "Gee, we found a rare gem!"... or "Gee, what an odd person...hope she goes away soon because we can't really find a round hole to pound her square head into."

Yep....know that........one of the few good people.......everything wrapped up in one package! You remember that Bee! I would much rather be around someone that is honest.....my Grandma used to say....."DON'T ASK IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW"

Aaahahahaa! People say the same things about me. I do OK in social situations for a little while, but I'm on the fringe of the autism spectrum... I don't read non-verbal communication well. I tend to rely on solid facts and I can be very straight forward. Some folks are taken aback by me. I write waaaay better than I speak - the words just seem to translate much better from my brain to a visual medium as opposed to speaking them out loud. I get... awkward. The older I've gotten the more I've just sort of learned to fit in. I do OK now but I still have my moments. Ooops - TMI. Sorry, but I ain't going to bother to erase it all. It is what it is.

Life is way too short to feel like you have to "fit in" to social norms. I don't think we'll go to our graves thinking "I should have dressed better" or "I should have joined that social club. I'm a failure because I didn't." Probably we'll be thinking "Why didn't I buy a cow? I really wanted one!" or "why did I keep that formal dining room? I used it twice! It could have been my craft area/play room for grandkids/display area for my collection of antique gnomes."

Bulldogma, you sound like my son. Smart as smart can be, totally fact-based, not socially adept. He knows advanced math and physics way, way beyond my ability to comprehend. Totally unable to memorize the times tables, but can answer just as fast by doing the multiplication fresh in his head each time. The more complicated the subject, the better his grasp on it. Doesn't know the names of the months in order. Sweet as sweet can be, but sometimes appears abrupt because the emotional aspects of a situation aren't fully evident to him.

Beekissed, if I met you in your suburban house just a little better than the Jones's and your foo-foo dog and two chickens in an Eglu in the back yard, and all you wanted to talk about was what Angelina Jolie was wearing at the Oscars and Betty next door really should watch her weight, I wouldn't be reading this thread and learning so much and wishing you were my neighbor and friend.

No offense to anyone in a suburb or with an Eglu or foo-foo dog. If that's what you want, go for it!!!! Life's short!!!

You described the typical person out there! But even more are just the average persons with cell phones glued to their cheekbones, running their kids from activity to activity until no one knows where they belong or who they really are, think shopping is a "woman thing" and who feels like women who actually think deeper than a dew drop are "strange".

You know? Those women who say they want to live cheaper and whine constantly about how much money they need but in the next breath start a sentence with, " I could NEVER live without <insert cell phone, new car, lap dogs, jewelry, several pairs of shoes, vacations to the beach, my cable/dish TV, my nice house, etc.>

These are those who find me strange.

Of that ilk I do not fit and I am most comfortable in my body, in my mind and in my soul but others are not so comfortable around someone who is comfortable with being different than most people. All my clothes will fit into two duffel bags...shoes and coats included. I don't color my hair and haven't had it cut or styled by a beautician since the early 90s..once..and cried all the way home. I'm overweight and have ceased to care...this is me and that is life. Of course I'd love to be slim but not to suit the world's view of what women should look like..just so I can tie my shoes without holding my breath!

I have utter and complete faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and am proud and humbled to say it.

I can change my own oil, my own tire, can run my own chainsaw, mower, saw, drill or any other equipment without a man's assistance. I've been paying my own way since I was 14 yrs old. I don't think that women should be helpless and I do feel they should feel honored to be good housewives, good mothers, and good partners to their husbands. There is honor and nobility in being a mother and a wife. Any other profession is a part-time job, IMO.

I'm not in debt and don't even own a credit card. I have not one piece of jewelry and have never owned a cell phone. I haven't ever had "real" TV since I was about 6 yrs old....we watch DVDs if we are so inclined. I read all the time...no romances, very little mysteries, no murders, no sci-fy, no best sellers. Just good, old stories.

I love my dogs/animals and they really love me back...but I do not engage in rubbing my animals all over my body nor do I think they are my children, babies, humans or anything other than exactly what they are. They live a good life according to their species and their purpose...and so do I. They have never slept in my bed or on my couch but they would walk through fire for me or die trying.

I love my kids and never had "terrible twos" or "terrible teens" like most folks say they have...I enjoyed every stage of their lives and told them so every day. I think they are wonderful people and would feel the same if they were not mine and just someone I met. Yes, I spanked my kids and didn't allow them to do what all the popular kids were doing...and they would walk through fire for me. As I would for them.

I'm just not the typical American or Earthling and I like that fact...but not many others do. People are not comfortable with the one animal in the herd that is a different color/stripe/kind. I am she. Their problem, not mine.

I'm only a pilgrim here and am just passing through. I never intended to make this my home.

aaggjg, I'm thinking you skipped an important step:

Quote from Beekissed: After you do the dunk, throw them out of the coop. Not sit them down gently...give them an underhanded toss into the wild blue yonder.


IDK, just saying...

Maybe try a "Closed for Business" sign over the nest????

Seriously, this past Spring, I finally took two unwanted chicks from a neighbor and slipped them under the broody at night. I wasn't sure if she'd kill them or not. She liked them and thought she'd hatched them herself. Go figure.

 

[delisha]

Just open a Word document and keep pasting these little snippets into it and pretty soon you will have a little manual to print off.

Now that is a great idea!

AMEN!!!

You are my kind of woman! I was beginning to think I was the only one who didn't wear make up or think a weekly trip to the "beauty" parlor/salon/spa was mandatory to be female. Other women i know (and love) don't really get me either. Love that my Mom does, though!
And my hubby....

Ok I fess up I did not forget that step.... But I had Poppet upside down and well she's so little I thought I'd try the "bath" method first.... I did toss her to the ground I thought it had to do with cooling off the chicken.... Not discipline so now I know . And we all know how well the bath method worked .... It was just another day at the pool for the chickens .....

 

[Beekissed]

Yep...supposed to make them change their mind, not cool off the hormones. It doesn't even have to be a cold bucket of water...just any ol' water will do. Just a little attitude adjustment.....

Wouldn't it be nice if, when we start to get those baby yearnings, someone takes a cold glass of water and throws it in our face?
