I used to talk to TD a lot, but then we kinda drifted apart. Same with MrD, though I still have him on Facebook. It's nice to catch the smallest glimpses of his life when he posts. But yeah, there are so many people from here that I'd love to get back into contact with.
Awww I miss TD!
Oh. I need to check my emails more often. Heh.
I won a professional fine art family portrait contest from a local photographer that I entered into for shits and giggles on Mother's Day. I never win anything and ha, I did this go round. It was basically a draw of luck, you enter into their contest and they draw a name. They do this every holiday and on their opening anniversary. I have friends who have had their family portraits done there and they always rave about the photographers they have and the quality of their work. This will be a heirloom photoshoot. Gonna need to update some formal wear for us. :D
Small blessings in luck...
Always shocks me when that occurs.

Nice!

An intentional decision to let go of resentment and anger.
I can forgive easily.
Doesn't mean I forget or pardon one's behaviors and actions.
Doesn't mean I won't point out when someone's in the wrong.
Or when someone's lying to fit a narrative that shows them in a light that is untrue to the situation.
Or when someone's an annoying little gnat that likes to buzz in people's ears, spreading lies and misinformation.
Gnats have a small life cycle.
Much like people's tolerance of your antics and bullshit.
It's sad when one can't tell the difference from actually reality and a story line and plot they created within their own minds.
We are only "villains" in your story because of your own inability to accept your wrongdoings, your behaviors, and admit your lies.
But you'll never do that.
No, it's much too difficult for you to face that light.
But, hey...
That's cool.
That's your existence that is tormented and disfigured.
Not mine.
I lead a very happy and healthy lifestyle that has never needed the approval of fictitious personalities portrayed online.
Might be worth giving it a shot, yourself.
🤷🏼♀️
Just let it all out.
You're in your "safe space".
Thou shall not pass judgement!
Matthew 6 verse 37;
"Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38 give, and it will be given to you."
It was an itsy, bitsy, teeny, weenie, yellow belly...
Yellow Belly:
noun;
a cowardly person; a coward.
It always amazes me to no end the way people will act as if their behaviors and actions don't have consequences.
"Why can't you let it go?"
"Why do you always have to bring up the past?"
Because what you consider to be the past isn't necessarily the past. To me, the past is things years ago. Not days, weeks, or months ago. When you set yourself into a predictable pattern of behaviors that continue in a ruthless cycle of the same shit, no one is going to listen to your pleas for forgiveness or pardon your behaviors.
Especially whereas you continue to be the same person whom you want to be separated from. There is no pardoning behaviors that are repetitive. There is no bias thinking involved. To be biased on situations would to be to be treating you unfairly, distort your behaviors or prejudice.
You've earned how you are treated.

Fo' sho'. Self delusion at it's finest.

Due to the inability to use my left hand for the moment, responses to messages will take some time. I know that's not ideal for most but if you contact me regarding admin assistance or site assistance, if it is something that requires detail (example how to submit to the DB or assistance with coding) please be patient as I can only utilize one hand at the moment to type everything out.
Doc emailed me back and said if it's still painful on Friday when I see her, that she will have me also go for x-rays to ensure I haven't fractured or broken something within my wrist.
She did say if it gets worse and I start losing complete feeling in my fingers, hand and/or there is swelling and discoloration that I need to go to the ER and be seen. Not the clinic or urgent care because they don't have x-rays available in those locations, but the actual ER and to call the office before I go so she can call ahead and inform them of my arrival and what it's for. She said even if it's during the weekend- they have oncall docs and it's marked in my charts that my carpal tunnel is flaring badly and there could be possible damage done to my wrist that might warrant a fitted brace or cast.
I explained to her about how tank threw himself against my arm the other day (he's a giant pup and is still learning) and she said that could have caused fractures in areas of weakness in my wrist.
FML.

Oh sugar I hope it's not that bad!
Dang. Keep us informed.
Oh no. I hope you feel better soon.
I have an appointment on the second for a referral for my carpal tunnel in my left wrist.
I think it's time for surgery. The amount of pain that is radiating throughout my wrist, forearm, and hand is absolutely fucking nuts now.
The brace they told me to get is only making it worse.
Fucking old army flare-ups. I hate this shit.

I have found that a compression sock with the toes cut out works the best for my carpal tunnel flairs. It provides support without being stiff and unmovable. I just got a pair of compression socks on Amazon.
The background moves!

Would that be considered cannibalism?

Om nom nom!
I made it abundantly clear that in order to leave my House he will need to Sire out. I will not release him prior to that. He will remain blinded and remain in the spot he is in until he hits level 100 and leaves on his own accord.
Do not send another trade request. There isn't enough favor on this site to release him.
He is aware of this. I don't give two flying fucks what he pleads or begs to you or anyone else. He was given more than one chance and he blew it.
Sire out is the only way that account will be released. In my entire time on VR I've never blinded anyone and I have always freely sent members about to where they wished to go.
You have to royally fuck up for me to blind you.
Do not send me another trade.
Do not attempt to contact me again, with any of your multiple profiles, as I stated before you are blocked and will remain blocked. Do not have a third party contact me regarding this.
My decision on this is firm and final.
COMMENTS
Why in the world would anyone think you'd go back on that decision? I mean it's clear as to why you've made it.
And I was very concise in my message.
Perhaps because I already had that ACM blocked, he assumed it was fair game.
Idiots. The lot of them.
Our Moonie has always said it best. "Derps gonna derp"
"They'll never catch me!"
"I'm too smart for them!"
"I'm a genius!"
Before I end up smashing everything that's tech.

Wut? Lol

Hahaha I wasn't being mean!
I was being a tease!
Yannow... Like always. Haha
True. But you don't tease me with Bunny's stuff. :)
Hehehe ;)
I knows.
Riddle me this:
Why would you feel the need to change a narrative of a story, of something you weren't even a part of, and lie to to someone who will obviously ask questions about it to get the truth?
Why do you consistently feel the need to brag about things, make them bigger than they are, lie about situations to fit a narrative you want portrayed, and then expect everyone to like you afterwards?
When your behavior reeks of being trashy, you get treated as trash.
You know what we do with trash?
We discard it.
Watch your fucking behavior and your story telling.
It's caught up to you, in ways you haven't even realized yet.

I enjoy teaching my children life skills.
To me it is an important aspect of being their mom. Ensuring they are capable of doing things for themselves should the need arise and being prepared with the knowledge of how things work, what they are for, and how to utilize them.
My children are twelve (going to be thirteen next month) and three. Almost a decade apart. They both partake in house chores (much to my surprise usually with enthusiasm) and are learning simple life skills such as laundry, proper cleaning, cooking, baking, lawn and garden care, and even car maintenance.
I taught the kids tonight how to make shepherd's pie. Emerson did most of the chopping, sauteing, and cooking. Lette learned what everything was and why it goes together. She assisted her brother with seasoning for the dish.
Then they tackled trash together- Em taking out the trash as Lette gathered the smaller trash (bathroom, bedrooms) and while Em took it to the bin she replaced the bag in all of the inhouse bins.
Emerson washed laundry for me while I was washing dishes and Lette, having heard the washer end while I was in the bathroom, moved the laundry from the washer to the dryer. (Front loaders.). Because she knows what buttons are for what, she understood that the load (towels) needed to go on the proper cycle for them. Then started the dryer and high fived me yelling "I do the laundry now!" And placed the next load (sheets) within the washer. I had to pour the soap for her (she can't reach it) and she added it. Selected the correct cycle and started it. Basically on her own. At three.
They rinse off their own dishes (I have OCD so I wash them- but both know how to), sweep their own rooms (Lette with help, of course), mop (again, Lette with help), and help me put away groceries weekly. They help feed the animals and bathe them when needed, water the plants accordingly, help dust and vacuum, and even help wiping down tables and counters.
In the event, should anything happen to me, or where Em was home and I wasn't yet and I needed something done, I can confidentially ask him to do it for me knowing he will understand how to do it. I am also confident in his ability (as well as Lette's) to ask for help/clarification when the need arises.
I grew up in the system. I was a foster kid for eleven years and no one taught me anything. I learned basically everything on my own or through others because I had to ask for help. When I was 14 I got my first job at a restaurant. Learned to cook- took jobs along the years to learn more cooking skills. Worked as a hired contractor to learn how to fix things on my own. Took auto shop and wood working in high school to learn how to do those. Took drama in highschool as the drama teacher also taught home ec and taught me how to sew and mend costumes. Worked as a house keeper to learn how to deep clean and make things presentable. Worked as a manager to learn how to lead, how to do accounting and keep track of records. Was a solider. Took martial arts to learn to fight. I've held many jobs and worn many hats and to me being a mom is the most important.
If don't teach them, they may never learn.
That, to me, in unacceptable.
COMMENTS
You are a good mom. The earlier you teach kids the better. My parents instilled the same values in me, that's how I raised my daughter.
WAY TO GO baby duckies! That is awesome that they don't fight to do chores. Mine have chores but are NOT enthusiastic about it. The chores get accomplished and it has been explained that chores are an important part of life as they teach us both how to do things and be responsible... but again... not met with head on enthusiasm. That is when the lesson of... sometimes we have to do things we do not like comes out to play at my house.
We play "the floor is lava" when cleaning.
Makes them move faster and get everything off the floor into their correct bins.
I incorporate a lot of games into getting things done. Otherwise it is rather tedious and boring.
I have tried that... sadly... it doesn't work with mine.
And that is what you call a freaking awesome role model. So proud of you, ducky.
Thank you, Rattie.
I didn't really have any role models growing up so it's all a learning process for me. :)
Fucking. Squirrels.
These goddamn squirrels are picking all my pears before they are even fully grown. I was in my yard cleaning yesterday and noticed these little, round looking things on the ground. Well I just caught the pricks throwing them down after eating around the center and then chucking the rest at my pig.
Vindictive little shits.
Now I'm going to have to figure something out and I'm going to have to pull out the tall ladder and cut back some of the neighbors tree branches that lean over my yard. Normally I'm fine with them growing as they are, because I like shade and have a sun allergy, but mother fuckers are slinging themselves from that tree to my pear tree.
COMMENTS
Another option could be putting the same type of netting used in vineyards around the pear tree.
Actually, that's really not a bad idea.
I always forget about those. Thanks for the idea!
COMMENTS
Oh... I understand. Control the inner bitchy-ness... is hard to do.
I come in peace…*Enters slowly and offers up all of Ducky’s favorite snacks and a hot water bottle for her tummy. Backs away slowly and bolts for the door*
Damn we in sync? Part of why I have stayed off line the past couple days for the most part... as to not make people cry! lol!
I'm ready to yeet the uterus.
It's been a long day and fixing to be a long night.
I mowed the front, side, and back yards, treated the property (fucking mosquitos), weed whacked, pruned the front plants, pruned the pear tree, checked the pumpkins, pulled the mushrooms up and disposed of them, found a tarantula and had to relocate that thing, found three garden snakes and also had to relocate those, took care of two hornets nests, made a new mud bath area for the pig, and bathed both dogs and the pig. On top of normal day to day work.
Tonight I have a massive amount of school work to do as I have barely gotten any done all week.
I will not be surprised if I don't get a good weekly grade as this week there was a lot of shit due when my internet was down and I am waiting to hear back by a few professors tomorrow about making up as I have the proof from the service provider that they were down for a long time.
Sucks I can't do the school work via my phone. It has to be done through the computer. :(

He is also expressing wanting to play football next year, too.
On Tuesday he is getting a Math Award for this grade, too. For being most improved and moving up a class.

Way to go Emerson!
Ahhh...he is freaking awesome.
Aww way to go buddy!
My three year old now knows how to use Alexa and my Fire TV.
I heard from across the house "Alexa, turn on Fire TV."
Then I heard "TV Alexa, play Wednesday Dance Dance".
She's obsessed with Lady Gaga's "Bloody Mary" and has learned the Wednesday Addams dance from the TV series and is currently dancing in my room in a tutu to it.
😍
That's my little spooky baby!
I get that mosquitos are needed in the grand scope of things.
Sure, I understand they're pollinators, their a food source for some fish, birds, bats... I get it. They are an important source of biomass in that food chain of life.
But really? Did that bitch ass mosquito have to bite my three year old under the eye? Out of all places to fed that little bitch had to fed on the one spot that would swell and make her look like she had a round or two with Mike Tyson in the boxing ring?
Doctor prescribed an allergy medicine and a topical cream. Hopefully it'll clear up in a few days. Thankfully it's not itchy to her so there isn't any scratches that would warrant a need for an antibiotic. So oral, topical meds and cool compress for the eye.
My daughter is a trooper, though. As soon as we pulled up to the doctor's office she immediately went "I do not need to be here. I am fine. Turn around let's go home." Haha
Doctor got a kick out of that.
Ohhhhh....
You done gone and fucked up!
You knew better than that!
All I can do is hopefully vouch for you and you don't get the boot.
I can't make no guarantees, though. Ugh I'm so disappointed!

I know. TskTsk. I just dunno what to say about it.
It's a pretty off the wall thing, even for her.
I dunno how this will play out.
I just can't believe she just.. let her self do that. She had to of known.
I mean, I guess she should have but the fact remains that she either didn't or she did, and now she went and did it.
I just hope we can fix it.
Me too.
Both of you bitches on my "kick in the foof" list.
Love you 😘
Hehe we do love you...even if you did that thing. 😈
You both like it when I do that "thing" and you know it. lol
It's so hot when you do that "thing" though. *drools*
Still, shell shocked though. Heh

Go outside and do a naked ducky waddle rain dance to thank the gods and maybe it will vanish all together.. it nothing else your neighbors will get a show.... and since it's raining... maybe the pig won't knock you over! lol
ahhh hahaha
That bitch's mission in life is to knock me over whenever I don't have food in my hands. LOL
I'm not trying to traumatize my neighbors. They'd die of either stroke or heart attacks.
The pig is like... DUCKY BOWLING! You think she thinks in her head before she runs at you.... 25 points if I clip her, 50 if I make her stumble, 75 if she trips and falls... 100 if she lands on her ass and screams at me!
Hey you don't know... the neighbors might like the show!
I would. Root for the pig!
Irks the fuck out of me when I'm studying and not listening to the news and people from a different state are blowing up my phone through FB Messenger to know what's going on in another town.
They're not even worried about us, they just want to be fucking nosey all the time.
I'm more than an hour away. Obviously I don't know what's going on if it's not even occurring in my town and I'm nose in a book most of the day.
"It's sad that I know more about it than you do and it's not even my state."
Yeah? It's pretty sad anyone thinks my life revolves them, especially when I've only spoken to you a handful of times in, what? 35 years? 36, almost?
This is why I don't give out my phone number.
Even to kin. Facebook is enough of a fucking nuisance with it.
When we bought our house in 2019, this town was quiet and safe. Like no joke- barely any fucking issues.
The COVID-19 hit and people were losing their jobs and moved here from the DFW area because rent was cheaper and this entire town has become a shit hole.
Drive by shootings, robberies, gun and drug violence, hell both myself and a coworker were followed home on the same night by different cars and we later learned they were part of a sex trafficking ring and we got lucky that we both pulled into the police station and waited for two of our male managers to come and follow us home to make sure we were safe. Know how we found out? Police tracked them to our store where they tried it to someone else during the day. We identified their cars and plates and bam, cops were like "you should have reported it while you were at the police station. This is happening more and more nowadays."
I need to seriously find a small, quiet town surrounded by forests, woodland, lakes, and minimal people. I'm tired of this shit.

Dang sugar I hate that has happened to your area. Please be extra careful and be ready to defend yourself.

We are as careful as we can be and always ready to protect ourselves, thankfully. We have a security system up and have a second to cover the entire property currently in the works of being put up.
Plus our dogs will fuck anyone up who isn't from our household. They only permit other people when we are there. Unless it's my brother than they let him be, lol.

Meanwhile the culinary teacher in the city over from us has been arrested for showing obscene things to his students while in class.
Then a bus driver in our county has been put on administrative leave for not checking his bus and left a four year old on the bus, in the barn (where the buses are kept off duty) and with the windows up on a day it reached 80° for over an hour.
