What's everybody doing today?

[poltiregist]

In the hole dug by the excavator for the bunker / root cellar doing shovel work .

 

[Quark]

In the 60s today and very nice. Survived MDST. Went to a coffee shop and read. Now getting ready to have supper and read some of my The Epoch Times.

So now I have 2 bottle babies...the little runt today is not getting any food from mom

Plus I am totally reevaluating my life and thinking I made a big mistake
Watching this german tv show about farmers women and thinking, this could have been me, if I had tried to marry a farmer over there. They have the lives I wanted. But oh well, too late now. Debating if I should stop watching since it is sort of making me depressed, no matter how much I like it. It's not a soap opera, it's a documentary\reality tv show and not fake. These people have the absolute perfect lives .
They have beautiful farms, doing what they want ( anything from goat farm, cow farm and cheese making, ostrich farm to water buffalo farm) , they live there with their entire families , parents, grandparents, kids and everyone helps. It's sort of like the Amish here but not religious and not limited in technology. They all love their animals and treat them well.
Sometimes one bad choice can make you have a life you didn't really want. Watching this is making me realize why I have such a bad attitude so often.

I would post a link to it but you wouldn't understand it anyway ( well maybe Amish would? Do you understand the Amish? If you do, you might understand this)

Did you invite @Neb over to help? Shovel work is his favorite.

@Hooch Wow! I somehow missed that post then had to go back to figure out what was going on. That’s a tremendous load for anyone there to carry emotionally and physically. So glad to hear the fella is awake and will be praying for a speedy recovery Still just wow!

Made it to church today for the first time since we moved. They even remembered me . Was good to be back. We are still surrounded by boxes until a part of the floor is repaired & finished so still chaos. Good news, Hubby found our little living room garbage can. I’d been looking for it since we moved. It was under one of the bathroom sinks. The one I hadn’t gotten to yet of course. There’s something about under sinks that aren’t new that kinda grosses me out so I totally bleach etc them. For under the kitchen sink, I bleached it then bought a slab of stone and put under there so it’s clean.
Played outside, pruned two of the four clematis & planted a McIntosh apple tree

The grass on the other side of the fence is not always as green as it seems. That grass could be green because it's being fertilized by a septic tank.

If you are a farmer/rancher you'll get the post if not you won't get the post.

 

[Magus]

Two things make grass grow, blood is one of them. poop is the other.

 

[Pearl]

What’s all that white stuff everywhere?

Styrofoam

LOL I get it...
My point I could have been a farmer much earlier and saved myself a lot of aggrivation by wasting most of my life living in Florida doing things for a living I didn't want to do, living where I didn't want to live....why did I do that???

Water and sunlight.

Still need go fertilizer.

While I'm not in your shoes...and not giving advice to you, just thinking about how if you would be able to associate with your neighbors more often you would get strength from that. I don't know how often you see them, but definitely good people. Nobody's life is perfect. Somebody is always being crappy to someone else, the good thing about the program you're watching is that they can rely on each other, they aren't alone.
I've been researching some stuff today and definitely thinking about my future and I don't think it will be as bad as I was dreading.
Hoping you can find something to look forward to, something that brings you happiness.

From all that cleaning you did yesterday.

 

[Quark]

Leaves.

I have lots of leaves, water, and sunshine but at the end of the day good fertilizer is needed. Without the fertilizer all I get is weeds. We have weeds everywhere. But I do live at high altitude alpine desert.

I can't answer that one.

For more than cleaning ..just need to empty my head

I am too old to do any major changes at this point of my life. Our neighbors are mostly Amish, we are not, so we are never going to be really part of their community. The regret I have is not for now or the future it is for the life I could have had, if that makes any sense
I think maybe people should just stay in their own countries and not move to a different one ( well unless they live in Afghanistan or Sudan or something)

I can. I married some jerk that was in the Army. The one time I really didn't use my brain before making a decision

Make your own fertilizer!

I live in the city and I think if I go outside and crap on the lawn I might be arrested at my age and fugliness.

[zannej]

Quark, do you have enough space to have a composter and compost any food trash?

Nope live in the city and rent the land my mobile home is on. I pay Nitro-green to fertilize the lawn and pay a guy to mow it. It's nice to have gold-pressed latinum.

Paying them is cheaper than paying the bail bondsman!

Most of us do that. It's called life.

I understand some, mom was fluent, and didn't teach me, so I learn as I go. But get lazy because everyone here speaks english, also, except the little ones. I talk to them (ha). You have to realize the stuff they show on documentaries looks fabulous. Watch an American farm documentary and it'll look great, I betcha. Even the amish are portrayed in media as what they are not. Their cows poop like everyone elses, and their sheep do, too. Their animals get sick. They get sick. Neighbor Marlon and his family....his wife and young baby son were both in the hospital this last week with RSV. Baby just got over Influenza A and was in Kansas City for that. Saw them today, first day home, it was alot. Now picture that with no medical insurance, and farmwork to do. The community part is right, though, we help each other. But it's not perfect...just recently heard about a sex offender here, now doing six years. Raped his own daughter. No one is perfect anywhere. Grow your garden where you are planted.
