Then you would have to believe that the alignment of the planets and the stars have power/influence over human life and or behavior.

It is said we are entering into a new era. An era that is completely out of our hands and will be dictated by the universe and its alignments. It is said to be a sort of golden era on a celestial level...humans are to become Christ-like....I have heard it described. Secrets of one's thoughts will no longer exist, where people will be able to know what you are thinking.

If you do not believe in astrology, then perhaps you can explain how it has existed for 1000's of years. That's a lot of crazy people out there over a long period of time.


Speaking of crazy. I was at a major hardware store today and the worker lady said something I thought was interesting....I can tell later she was sort of embarrassed for saying it...because it really came out of nowhere. While we were behind the computer and she was showing me the list of materials available, she blurted out, "no wonder people are crazy these days." I forget what we were talking about...but it really did not fit with what we were talking about. Perhaps she meant I was crazy. lol

Maybe it is just around my area here. But there have been some weird things going on lately. For example, at the same store 2 days earlier, they only had two checkouts open and there were two lines of people in the store that went halfway through it...and it is a large store. I have never seen that before. My dad and I literally had to wait about 20 minutes to get checked out.

Just today, hearing sirens in town (and I live in a very tiny town) I learnt that there was another serious roll-over accident at the same corner...that accident being the second one there in the last week. Whereas, there has not been an accident there for as long as I can remember.

A couple of days back...I have known my neighbor since he moved in 2 years ago. He is always a happy go lucky type...always willing to help out...always seemingly happy. We were talking and he used the "F" word. I remember feeling a bit shocked by that...that is the first time I have heard him use it.

Dad used to look out the window and say that the last winter he lived. He made it and died in that April. Now I see another spring too. And I always say if I don't hit the ground running in March I am sunk. Like usual, it is half past April already. I busted back and got most of the flower beds raked. I hate oak trees!
Haven't gotten barnyard on them yet, nor mulch from my wood chip pile. I set the hens to raking the one terrace and then the next when first was raked. They do good work and do it for birdseed. Problem is attention span. They work a short bit and then off to somewhere else. So it takes them days to do an area. But, easy for them to get under stuff and then all I need do is gather the piles they make.
I drove down the road. See the woods has that pink blush. It is caused by the shells of buds. The next is the green blush and then it seems over night it is BAM! Green woods. I noticed the lilacs have leaves a quarter inch already. Daffodils are in bloom. Grass in the meadow is greening. Nature is in its usual rush to start and get on with it before winter.
I brought seed containers up. Should start some soon. Lettuce sounds right. So much work ahead. Set buckets ready to plant. Buy plants. But, this is the time of hold...raining and 50 today and half the week ahead. I remember digging out and not making it home til the next day in the blizzard that hit mid April in 73. Suckers!
I have kittens everywhere the moms have hid them. Hens are laying almost a dozen eggs a day. ENOUGH already! Here, have a dozen eggs. YOU need them!!!
Time to clean the wood shed and start to fill it again. Fields need to get tilled. Weeds killed. The farm dictates life. And nature.

My VCR/DVD player just took a crap.


I may have to open that baby up and see if there is a solution. The door on the dvd player will not open. There is a saying for that......dirty horror bait.

Freewill can be considered one's choices they want to make.

What happens when you don't have any choices or no resources to implement them?





Happy Wednesday all

I'm vaccinated and ready to travel again. I have been in the Lake Chapala area. Today I am in Guadalajara tomorrow I will be in Guanajuato. The cathedral de Guadalajara in the central part of the city is in the background. This a great part of the city to walk around in and there are good restaurants everywhere. Really good street stands for food too. Stuff is cheap here and the people are friendly. Life is good.

are we now living in a world controlled by a rogue army of police that make the rules up as they go along ,,
why do i ask ,well it appears that peoples beliefs are being tossed aside by this virus , not that i am a believer in any religion ,but in saying that ,those that do believe in what ever they wish too ,should be free to do so with out the interference by the police,
this happened on good friday in briton where by a service was stopped by the police on the grounds of social distancing ,,first of all these officers were stood less than a metre apart ,,thats taking the urine for starters ,secondly heaven if there is such a place it is not two metres away ,,,so sadly people you have to do your praying at home ,,,because there is a new god in town called the police ,,,,amen adios chow or what ever ,,it is goodbye freedom ,,,

Wow. Is about all I can say and in addition, what an eye opener to life. I have been living in blindness. Well, I have been living from a perspective of a pampered person. I have discovered first hand how growing up with both mom and dad around guiding me...being there for me....giving me a moral compass...being an open refuge at any time...showing me how to use my moral compass...etc.

What a beautiful upbringing. We were poor granted, we didn't have much....but we had a large family of 10 use and we all get along together even to this day.


Now to the eye opener.

Talking with a lady this weekend. She is 27. While sobbing her eyes out...she over and over proclaimed to me that "I have nothing, I have nothing." She wants a guy to love her. Puzzled...she was with a guy at the bar already. She explained that he was essentially a piece of crap, abusive, controlling, and he told her that he will be seeing other women also. She explained to me that she didn't know who her father was..her mother was a horrible person and she was raised by her grandparents who are now not wanting anything to do with her. She kept on saying, she is a strong woman. She does not know what a loving relationship even is...she never seen one and knows nothing about it. She had learned the street way on how to survive basically.

There are so many luxuries one has that has a strong supportive base if life happens to temporarily overcome you vs. ...somebody having nothing to fall back on.

It was a sad experience. She left with a smile with the abusive man. (putting on her happy face disguise.)

Some terrible realities out in life.

I try to keep the kibble cat food in the woodshed to the point of nothing left to lay around for the night. Altho day can still be an issue. Like the other afternoon when I look and there is a coon sitting in the satellite dish I use sideways for bird feeder. And it is happily chowing down seeds. Of course by the time I get around the back way with rifle..long gone.
Then one night, go out to put wood on and there is an opossum eating kibble next to the cats. The week prior I shot one in the barn. Was able to shoot this one too. Deep snow out back so just toss out behind shed til thaw. Go out another night, there is another blasted possum. Shot that one, tossed into snow too.
Look out a couple days later and the last one if half eaten. Went out and tried to determine tracks. 4 toes, no 5, 4? Claws so not cat. Coyote, nah, would have hauled away. Fox?
That possum is all gone and something dug the older one out of the snow. My guy has idea...set up trail camera. Oh..yeah! Duh. And there when I looked thenext day were two coons.
I have learned that basically nothing eats possum except Southerners. And the way to prepare is to cage and feed clean food for a week since a possum eats anything, rotted, dead of any disease and more.
I also have grown up thinking of coons as a clean animal. Eats mice, chickens, eggs, fruit, veggies. Washes it food when available. Bread not tho.
But, dead possums? So researched it. They are scavengers, opportunists, omnivores. Eat anything. And to think I ate coon as a child. Tasty. Til mom refused to spend 2 hours making sure every bit of fat was off or it tainted the meat.
Set live trap. Apple and rotten egg. Both gone, trap not tripped. Blast those paws. So re-set with apple wired in a suet cage. Week and no coon. Nor sign of. Maybe smart and returned to river. But, soon snow will be gone and hens get to come out in daytime.
I know last coon was so big and smart, had to borrow trap from neighbor to catch. Bad part is cats around so can't bait with any food cats like. Did end up catching one lately before this episode. Boarder said he left her out when he did 5am wood fill. And it had sat in the shed for days with an apple. Dumb cat. They do learn tho to stay out after in once or twice.
I hate varmints!

I am appalled at how far ads are going.
And I thought: "I don`t feel like a prude or old fashioned, but WOW... Is nothing or anything private any more? Nothing is left to cover a person.
( I see things as small as a band aid barely covering someone`s back-side)....why bother?!
Are commercial ad companies starving??? Seeing an ad of a girl shaving much too close to her crouch, is mostly not something people are anxious to look at. Soon, we may see everything & it won`t matter, when nothing is sacred (well maybe some men who want to see much more, or doesn`t care what shows....& anything goes!!
I was taught to cover my "privates", when I was young, & taught mu 5 kids the same....You have to value what your body is for. It taught me to have the best part of me be special & not shown. The institution of being less covered, is -anything goes as long as there is money in it. Nessie G.

i came across a tv show called judge judy ,,,well what can i say ..i can say this absolutely shocking that the tax payers money is being abused by people on welfare ,social security ,and the likes ,,
these payments are supposedly there to help people out in hard times ,all well and good ,but and a big but at that ,,is that the system is totally flawed and more so abused ,by greed, laziness, freeloaders , and every scumbag that wishes to abuse tax payers hard earned money, these people are virtually living rent free or paying very little as that is also subsidised ,,surely it is time for the people dishing out this money to wake up to the abuse that is going on ,,
maybe a solution would be to put a bounty on the heads of these freeloaders ,
like twenty percent of the money saved by turning these scumbags in,
the genuine people on benefits would have no worries ,,just sort out the freeloaders who are sitting back laughing at the system and more so at the hard working tax payer who is footing the bill for their easy life style,
surely there must be a way of getting these lazy no good layabouts to do some work in the local community to justify the help that they receive ,,,,
and don,t even get me started on the ones abusing the disability payments ,,,,,grrrrr it makes a tax payers blood boil ,,,,,,
