There is a plan to hunt down a couple more poodles. Maybe a draft poodle. They're yuge.

My daughter and I always got the Clydesdale farm and ride them on her birthday. Love the giant horses!!

Daffodils will be popping up any day now!

I have crocuses coming up!

Spring equinox March 20th please come sooner. I am tired of old man winter.

I'm ready!

The term "people pleasing" is a misnomer.


The proper term is "approval seeking."


Not to piss on your meme, however.


Who doesn't love kittens with knives???

Are you giving your knives to Ethyl?

Whilst driving back to the house-n-cats yesterday afternoon, I noted blooming daffodils on the afternoon sun side of the interstate. I like that someone plants bulbs/flowers there. Forsythia is the best for lots of color.

What a welcome sight that must have been!

 

[Lilianna23]

Is people pleasing really about putting aside your needs for other’s wants? I did that hoping my first marriage would work out. I learned from my second and best wife to put my needs first and discuss if we had a conflict. Amazingly we always made things work out so both of us were content or happy.

That's always the best way. Love and respect!

 

[Wonderer67]

I think so also. Heavy Cavalry horses when that was thing and later caisson and cannon haulers.

My wife’s grandfather was in one of the last true horse cavalry units, the 1st Cav, before WWII. When Pearl was bombed, they traded in their horses for Mech, and he started his island hopping journey till wounded in the Solomon Islands.

The first team.

My hat is off to your gramps in law.

I know a few people in the Society for Creative Anachronism ( I know, I know not a great source to cite). There are two who ride horses as part of their re-creation and they both use Percherons. Take that as you will.

I’m in the society for creative anarchists.

We don’t ride horses tho.

Wat is no fan of Nissans, no matter what flavor.


It's Outright Prejudice, really.


Still won't have one.

Why?

 

[Lilianna23]

It is emptying your bucket to try to fill somebody else's

I tried it too.... but I could never do enough... so I stopped and now I have fewer relationships but better ones

I also had to learn the hard way not to empty my bucket to fill another's. It's a futile attempt.

 

[Lilianna23]

I'll keep you posted.


We can wrestle over the check . . . .

PPV?

 

[Lilianna23]

I have heard people say they like theirs too.....

I like mine. I've had it for over 7 years with few problems.

Had a good weekend.

Yesterday - got my taxes done. I owe a bit.

Then drove up to my sisters. Had a hillarious time w her. We took her out for her b-day. So fun. Watched a bunch of old bugs bunny cartoons.

had a nice drive on the back roads home. Got home at 1 and got in a full day of farm work. Cleared the trail where a big tree came down and then split firewood then did some cleanup in the old mill.

Worked till 6!

Love the longer daze!!!!

Are you giving your knives to Ethyl?

She comes with her own retractable blades

 

[Lilianna23]

So you don't have to be.


I heard back from Engine Boy. He's in Jersey - I had kinda guessed as much. It's gooder'n having to go to NYC-the-place-not-to-be. He wants to sell the whole kit-and-caboodle. I told him, okay. I'm formulating a price - ten grand. No more. Last guy up that way I talked to made me an offer I don't refuse - he knocked 37.5% off his asking price over the phone if I'd come get it. I did. You're seen the piccies.

I want to see how you clean it up and what you put it into!

 

[Lilianna23]

I quit buying it as a concession to eating gooderer.

I haven't eaten processed cereals since I was a kid. I'm fairly certain the processing is MUCH different now than it was 50 or so years ago. If I eat grains now, it's things like brown rice amaranth, and quinoa.

I still eat some processed foods, but I try to be selective about it. Chocolate is my downfall!

 

[Lilianna23]

Ugh…that’s right…we lose an hour back to the gods tonight…

Just pick a side people in power. I personally like Standard time. It fits more w my body clock heading into summer. Wife likes DST. We can’t agree on anything…

I don't much care as long as we STAY on something!

 

[Lilianna23]

Oh, Dr. Tyler called and wussed outta breakfast.


Says she can't trust the next fart.


I told her to call if-n-when she wants to eat.


Bedding in the wash today. Human clothes next. Making or stripping the bed with TDK is a riot.

Poor Dr. Tyler!

 

[Wonderer67]

Ha! My friend, trev sent this to me a few minutes ago. This is a really not fun process of changing the idler wheel on a tank. Looks like the bearing or seal went bad. But what’s weird is that I didn’t see them swap
Out the seal. (Hope they did, otherwise it’s a big miss)

But this is EXACTLY the type of cussing and swearing that goes on when changing out parts of the tank - esp when broken track is involved.

This was probably a good 1-2 hour swap out, I’m guessing.

I dont miss it!

I used to tell my students none of us was hatched this way. We all started out where they were.

 

[Lilianna23]

Took a trip into the woods today. Pretty sure we won't see pussy willow until late April at the earliest.

That stream looks cold.

Beautiful pictures! But they made me cold!

Greetings from vacation.
Rare downtime on a busy Saturday.
Contemplating a short nap after this - company (other than me) for dinner.

Catching up -
I vote we stop the clocks all together. They're moving way too fast! My vacation only just started and italmost over!

OM!! Lovely to see you & your memes!!

B2 has been excellent as a @tand-in

(((MissK))) - so sorry! I once added a switchboard on an Access database with a hidden doorway into the actual data table b/c 2 co-workers consistently tucked up the data every time they touched it otherwise.

My daily ride is a small SUV with 144 + low change potassium miles. No lojack or Bluetooth. But step up from last car - it has power steering & power windows. No frills - sits up higher for my titanium knees & just gets the job done.

Heard there was snow back home this week. Good! We didn't get nearly enough this year IMO... Plus, I'm not there rn, so bring it on!

Not looking forward to losing an hour!
Maybe a short nap right now would help mitigate it?

Be good. Have fun. Check in again later.

I'm glad you're having a good vacation, Likes! I leave on Friday for mine. Puppy girl had a brush and a bath today, then saw the vet for a Health Certificate to fly and got her toes did, as well!

 

[Lilianna23]

How about Blimey? I am fond of that word ever since I heard it on Dowton Abbey!

Go ahead, make fun of me, I saw the series and I loved it!

I love it, too! Did you see the movies? I haven't yet.

 

[Lilianna23]

Who showed you the photos?

They're on the internet? Didn't you know?

 

[Lilianna23]

Did mine last weekend. Seems I owe a bit, so it'll with until mid-April before it goes out in the mail.


With a check.


They get nothing early.


Ever!!!

That's the way to do it! I hate to pay, but after my (still unresolved) 2023 taxes, I think I'll start calculating how I can have a minimal amount to pay.

Yesterday, I got a missive from the IRS wanting a copy of my husband's death certificate in order to claim the refund from 2023. This is AFTER I have made monthly phone calls to them since December. They couldn't have asked the first time???
