Life As I See It

I'm glad you're feeling better-er-er-er-er.......life will do that to ya sometimes. I've done the "city" thing (well, sort of!) and the rural life, and I will take the rural life any day. We're in a small town in Missouri now, but it is very much a farming community......I love it! Heck, you wouldn't need a plethora of veggie places to eat...just go out to the garden and pick your own stuff! Nothin' better than fresh grown.
Hugs to ya'll!!

I haven't look at a PCH thing in years! I used to enter all of them, thinking maybe I would finally be the lucky one. I've since decided that I have better things to do with my time! I didn't usually get sucked into buying magazines....but once in awhile I did. I hardly ever read magazines...not that I don't like to, I just find other things to do with my time!! Guess all the propaganda sells stuff....elsewise why would there be stations on the tellie like HSN, and QVC. I'm thankful I didn't ever get into that trap!

I love it! I think I already have this picture saved on my computer....along with a million other crazy ones. Still makes me laugh!!!

I knew it was you Kristy....marking you as a friend. We'll keep in touch more now!!

Oh yes.....I always forget to call you Mother Theresa! Now I'm waiting to see the story about Thelma.......LOL

Just think of all you'll get done....do your nittin' while you're sleepin' and leave the day time for other projects! Novel idea, my dear!!!

Wow! What a great post, Jon! I have always believed that the true heros in our lives are the ones who DON'T seek out the glory for what they did. Reminds me of the movie "Pay It Forward"....doing good just for the sake of doing good....not because of what you'll get for it!
I've missed you, my friend....glad to be over here now, where there is life! (if you didn't see my blog.....I am the former 'islandgirl' from blogster!)
Hugs to ya!

my former lil' Luke (100+ pound lab - who was killed by a car a few years ago ) loved playing tug of war. He loved playing with your hand as the object to tug. We taught him early that he could only play that game when we had "the glove" on the hand. As soon as you took it off, he knew he had to stop. He was the smartest danged dog I've ever known. I miss him!

Great list! I love the "Cook" and "Eat"...they go so well together!!!

I agree with Janet....to heck with em. It seems that we always find groups of people like that....and without any appreciation.....screw 'em!
I hear ya about the ex.....always blaming.....mine did that too. Took me awhile but I finally got to the point that I could see what he was doing and decided I wasn't going to play his game anymore.
As for the bad days......each day, get up and look for the bright things. When something goes wrong, tell yourself that it's good, because the rest of the day will be better....no way to go but up...right?!!
I'm keepin' you in my prayers and your days will get better. Keep aiming high!!!!

Ok - now do as I say, not as I do......you have to work on not worrying and stressing. (This coming from the queen of worrying and stressing!!) Funny though, I can look back at stuff and think "why on earth did I worry about that.....what a waste of time". Ahhhh - easier said than done. But peace will help you a whole lot more. I'm working on trying not to worrying.....I have a long way to go!
Kota is such a little sweetie.....I wish I could meet him. You hang in there! And lots of big ol' hugs for Kota....and even more for YOU!!!!!

LOL.....full moons - what is it about them? The world seems to whack out completely! I love your "pet names" for these people....isn't it funny who the tags we give are so danged true!!! (Guess that's why we come up with them!!) Bottom line.....Rant on, baby, Rant on! THat's what we're here for!!! Hugs from here!

So glad to hear your recovering well. Stress in general in hard on a marriage (relationship), but throw in pain and it can make for tough times. I'm happy for you that you're working through it all.
Hugs to ya'll!!!

I'm so sorry to hear about Minnie's trauma. But am so glad you took her to the vet and she is healing. Our pets are as much "children" to us as our human children are. I don't have any right now, and probably won't for a long time, but I still feel the pain of the losses I have had of beloved pets (for me it has been dogs!). Hugs to ya'll!

This is wonderful! And it can ring so true of a woman's love for her man!
Now the question I have.....why is this post shown BEFORE your one titled "The Survey Said...." I almost missed it because of that. Maybe you should ask Eddie!
