No. I am a REAL human being.
Bye for Now...I'm going to my happy place.

Grass Farmers Should BURN in HELL
It's that lovely time of the year...during the end of summer...when grass FIELD BURNING begins in the Northwest.
I believe it should be the time when ALL Grass farmers should be taken out and shot in a courtyard against a stone wall.
Many people would relish the blood dripping warmly down that wall. I would.
A controversial subject. But no matter the controversy, there remain several valid points...
1/Burning releases billions of particulates of CARCINOGENS into the atmosphere which cause cancer in animals and people.
2/Field burning is NOT good husbandry of the land.
3/Grass is NOT worth endangering millions of peoples lives in order to grow & sell.
4/Grass farmers are LAZY and refuse to adopt other methods of growing the grass.
5/If the growing season in the NW is so limited, why don't they grow it in a better area?
6/Grass farmers are GREEDY and want their profits no matter what.
7/Local politicans are LAZY and refuse to respond to the MAJORITY of the public who state they don't want field burning.
8/Grass farmers are "above and beyond" the law- - It is deemed TOO dangerous to burn; the general public is under a red warning as there is danger of forest burning. We have lived here about 2 months without valid rain. Way too dry here.
I sit here...sick to my stomach from the stench, my eyes burning from the smoke, and a migraine headache from the poisonous fumes.
So...think TWICE before moving here, Jill.
Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Why is it that people just ASSUME that as a woman, I want to look after their little kids?
Don’t get me wrong. I like little kids. Babysitting is OK if I have scheduled it ahead of time.
I loved my OWN little kid and watched over her if we went to other people’s homes.
But this weekend, a guy came over to chat with Greg.
For the 1 ½ hour he was here, this father had NO CLUE where his kid was or what he was doing.
He just ASSUMED that I would watch his kid.
I had also planned things to do and did not have the time to watch over this kid.
This little kid was very polite, but starving for attention.
He wandered around the house with me.
I had to keep warning him not to get around our dog, not to pet the dog, not to play with the dog.
Our dog does NOT like children.
I have warning signs on our home-Beware of Dog.
Since she has been with us from 6 weeks, we don’t quite understand her objection to kids–
Isabelle will growl at them and is literally terrified of them…will physically run away from kids.
She has never been abused by a child, but still gets very upset around them.
She has NEVER bitten anybody, but if she is cornered who knows what might happen?
This dog is very sensitive and since it is HER property they are invading, she has every right to be upset.
So I told the father of the child several times that the dog does NOT like little kids,
but he really did not listen very well.
I gave the little boy a drink and a healthy snack after asking permission from the father.
Also gave Greg and the father a drink while they stood outside “chatting” for over an hour!
Very subtly, I finally reminded Greg that he needed to work on a couple vehicles at the shop...
Another time, the girlfriend of a guy that Greg was talking with came walking through the woods with her 2 year old child.
They just got out of the car and decided to wander around the property.
There are LOTS of car parts all around the property that a person could fall or trip over…
there are cougars, coyotes, and wild animals in our woods.
This woman did NOT even ask permission to start wandering around.
And these are the first people that would sue us if their kid got bit by our dog, even after being warned...
or would sue us if they tripped over a vehicle part in the woods.
