How many goats now Farmer Dan? My kids well Runt View attachment 1784914 View attachment 1784911 and crew. The paint is her sister notice the size difference? I think I have 20 kids

Those are gorgeous! We have some that are like that in size too.
Let’s see we’ve had 10 kids, we lost one (just outright refused to live. Was not thrifty at all :/ ) that’s all the kids for this season, not bad for a yearling buck. He got almost everyone. We have 18 adults. So 27.

Hulk and his lady’s. Man he sure is a giant. I know he’s big but goodness he just looks giant. He weighs at least 15lbs if not better. In with him are two red ranger Australorp crosses, an Australorp Wyandotte, two, 3/4 Leghorn 1/4 RIRs, an Australorp, 5 EEs and the reason he’s in there, a freedom ranger from our batch of chicks a few months ago.

See the one to his right with her tail sticking up? (The buff one) that’s the ranger. He even makes her look small and she dwarfs the other hens!

Alright atm. Colonoscopy tomorrow morning, but they're telling me I need to go the chemo route, as well. Not liking that at all.

No chemo isn't a picnic that's for sure.
But it's effective.
I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers...I pray for all of you... Almost every night.
I really feel bad when I fall asleep and forget... But some nights in wiped right out.... Especially lately.

Only if I get the first bullet between the eyes


Deb it's hard for me to read your posts, losing mom 6 months ago and she had dementia and I dealt with similar stuff, Oh God I miss her every day but yet I don't want her back to suffer more and longer. I think whoever wrote the song whisky lullaby had to live a loss like that because I can understand the line perfectly putting the bottle to the head and pulled the trigger. You don't want to move on or can't. I am losing the only home I have known, I have lost my mom and the pet that I had for over 15 years that in essence became my best friend thru the struggles with my last job, my disability and mom. the cat was mom's but she lost mom before mom departed us, mom became more and more withdrawn from the world and the cat became more mine and understood that I was owner, I'm sure she didn't know why mom didn't respond to her much then not ever, she just knew I was there and cared for her and knew mom was a shell of herself and I was caring for mom also. My mom didn't want me to kn ow dad's family so I don't know who they are or where they are. Only met half his siblings. My mom's family are so warped I cannot be around them. My brothers could care less If I am alive. 1 told me several years ago while I was caring for mom and her health problems that I was not allowed at his house until I had a wife and kids, the other brother threw me out on thanksgiving day a few years back because I showed up after he invited me. because they realized they didn't have enough space for everyone so they pulled out a lawn chair and a tv tray for mom and asked me to go home. Yea lots of love there.

Family is only blood.... I have a very small family with Very distant cousins. Grandma Mom Me and My son... Men folk gone long ago.

I am 63 soon to be 64 on the ninth. Never been married. Hugs to you... Like me we need to make family of our own... Just people you get along with. I am so isolated right now but hope to get out and meet some people when she doesnt need me.

Moms half sister is gone, but When she was alive she fired her Police man husband when her kids went off to college. And formed a partnership with a very nice woman... The moved on to a marriage with another woman and lived with her the rest of her life.... We accepted Tony as family... Thank goodness because she was happy... They were together about fifteen years before Heart attack took moms Sister.

form new friends and family then cut off ties to the old.... who hurt you.

I feel sad when I've read a few post here that call the man a "donor" or as in this case she fired her police man husband...I get it. To some degree. But I've been with my wife since we were kids.... In mean really kids.
When we moved to the, U.P. she was still only 15.
I'm just saying some people may have had bad marriages.... Mine is at the moment.
But I know it'll come around eventually.
The first couple decades we're great.... Then came the years of alcoholic distopia.... But I have big shoulders and can take the weight of it all. As it slowly heals...... Just saying.
We aren't all bad.
