Nothing ever happens

HAVE a great break Vi.. we all need it from here now and then. talk soon.

No.. I KNOW I’m not a victim. I feel great today. I got what I wanted , happy as a pig in shite. I want more.. so.. I’ll keep looking. I DO feel like that already.. just hard to do it 24/7. ha ha ha.

Hi, I’m hanging in there. I’m doing pretty well I think. Normal Guy has been in constant contact with me while he is out of town. I don’t know if this is a good thing or not, as I think I just need to get Gambler Guy out of my system for real. There has been no further contact from Gambler Guy.

Normal Guy is so cool, I don’t want him to be just a distraction. I do realize though that Gambler Guy was not a romantic relationship, it was some kind of addictive, weird, caretaking thing. So, maybe a real dating situation would be good for me. We shall see what happens.

The weather here has been so absolutely beautiful, I’ve been trying to soak it all in, it could not be more perfect here in the Midwest (USA) right now.

I like Gib’s “where’s your pride”, we should totally start using it in here on a regular basis. To me that is what the crown represents – pride, independence, strength, control and inner happiness…

(Is Gib in here sometimes? I can feel her (and Mandygirl’s) presence now and then)…

My weekend… today I will go and watch a basketball game, my gf’s latest love interest is playing… and tonight we will go clubbing with him and his friends… it’ll be fun to meet some new people… Tomorrow… is my brother’s gf’s birthday and there will be a family gathering to celebrate her… luckily it is in the afternoon… so I get to sleep a few hours before going there…

Beautiful weather here too, the rain is gone and the sunshine is back…

Vi, have a great break… I will miss you <3

just bumping the thread up. Off to kiddie’s party. Should be interesting. It’s my nephew’s kid. Recently my nephew stole a lot of money off my bro and has been kicked out of the family business. I only got invited because I know my horrid nephew is trying to worm his way back in. !

So.. today I shall be Mata Hari.. international spy. See what info I can glean.

Hope you all having a great weekend.

Hi girls!

I had super fun last night… man, those bball guys can drink and party… one of them was exceptionally tall and mean (like brutal) looking… I considered paying him to come with me to the birthday party today and pretend to be my new boyfriend… god, that would have been so funny…

Anyway… hot guy called around 3 AM (he was out partying in another city) (5 hours away). He said hey, and asked if I had fun… I told him about my night and he told me about his… then he said call me when you get home if you feel like it, I said OK and we hung up… and I did call him (5 AM) and we had another one of those talks in the dark…we were both half drunk and really tired so our conversation was not the deep kind… but rather on a “everything is funny level”… I recall saying “I love hotels” (he was/is staying in a hotel), and he said “we should check into a hotel when I get home”, and I answered “yeah, we should totally get a room (hehe)”… so, I guess that is some kind of diffuse plan right there…

I agree pretending to be Mata Hari is lots of fun…we should quit our jobs and start a PI firm you and I Harl… Greta Garbo played Mata Hari… god, she was soo beautiful…

Yes red, post the deer bite story please…

Why we Shoot Deer in the Wild
Why we shoot deer in the wild. (A letter from someone who wants to remain anonymous, who farms, writes well and actually tried this)

I had this idea that I could rope a deer, put it in a stall, feed it up on corn for a couple of weeks, then kill it and eat it. The first step in this adventure was getting a deer. I figured that, since they congregate at my cattle feeder and do not seem to have much fear of me when we are there (a bold one will sometimes come right up and sniff at the bags of feed while I am in the back of the truck not 4 feet away), it should not be difficult to rope one, get up to it and toss a bag over its head (to calm it down) then hog tie it and transport it home.

I filled the cattle feeder then hid down at the end with my rope. The cattle, having seen the roping thing before, stayed well back. They were not having any of it. After about 20 minutes, my deer showed up– 3 of them. I picked out a likely looking one, stepped out from the end of the feeder, and threw my rope. The deer just stood there and stared at me. I wrapped the rope around my waist and twisted the end so I would have a good hold..

The deer still just stood and stared at me, but you could tell it was mildly concerned about the whole rope situation. I took a step towards it, it took a step away. I put a little tension on the rope .., and then received an education.. The first thing that I learned is that, while a deer may just stand there looking at you funny while you rope it, they are spurred to action when you start pulling on that rope.

That deer exploded. The second thing I learned is that pound for pound, a deer is a lot stronger than a cow or a colt. A cow or a colt in that weight range I could fight down with a rope and with some dignity. A deer– no Chance. That thing ran and bucked and twisted and pulled. There was no controlling it and certainly no getting close to it. As it jerked me off my feet and started dragging me across the ground, it occurred to me that having a deer on a rope was not nearly as good an idea as I had originally imagined.. The only upside is that they do not have as much stamina as many other animals.

A brief 10 minutes later, it was tired and not nearly as quick to jerk me off my feet and drag me when I managed to get up. It took me a few minutes to realize this, since I was mostly blinded by the blood flowing out of the big gash in my head. At that point, I had lost my taste for corn-fed venison. I just wanted to get that devil creature off the end of that rope.

I figured if I just let it go with the rope hanging around its neck, it would likely die slow and painfully somewhere. At the time, there was no love at all between me and that deer. At that moment, I hated the thing, and I would venture a guess that the feeling was mutual. Despite the gash in my head and the several large knots where I had cleverly arrested the deer’s momentum by bracing my head against various large rocks as it dragged me across the ground, I could still think clearly enough to recognize that there was a small chance that I shared some tiny amount of responsibility for the situation we were in. I didn’t want the deer to have to suffer a slow death, so I managed to get it lined back up in between my truck and the feeder – a little trap I had set before hand…kind of like a squeeze chute. I got it to back in there and I started moving up so I could get my rope back.

Did you know that deer bite?

They do! I never in a million years would have thought that a deer would bite somebody, so I was very surprised when ….. I reached up there to grab that rope and the deer grabbed hold of my wrist. Now, when a deer bites you, it is not like being bit by a horse where they just bite you and slide off to then let go. A deer bites you and shakes its head–almost like a pit bull. They bite HARD and it hurts.

The proper thing to do when a deer bites you is probably to freeze and draw back slowly. I tried screaming and shaking instead. My method was ineffective.

It seems like the deer was biting and shaking for several minutes, but it was likely only several seconds. I, being smarter than a deer (though you may be questioning that claim by now), tricked it. While I kept it busy tearing the tendons out of my right arm, I reached up with my left hand and pulled that rope loose.

That was when I got my final lesson in deer behavior for the day.

Deer will strike at you with their front feet. They rear right up on their back feet and strike right about head and shoulder level, and their hooves are surprisingly sharp… I learned a long time ago that, when an animal -like a horse –strikes at you with their hooves and you can’t get away easily, the best thing to do is try to make a loud noise and make an aggressive move towards the animal. This will usually cause them to back down a bit so you can escape.

This was not a horse. This was a deer, so obviously, such trickery would not work. In the course of a millisecond, I devised a different strategy. I screamed like a woman and tried to turn and run. The reason I had always been told NOT to try to turn and run from a horse that paws at you is that there is a good chance that it will hit you in the back of the head. Deer may not be so different from horses after all, besides being twice as strong and 3 times as evil, because the second I turned to run, it hit me right in the back of the head and knocked me down.

Now, when a deer paws at you and knocks you down, it does not immediately leave. I suspect it does not recognize that the danger has passed.. What they do instead is paw your back and jump up and down on you while you are laying there crying like a little girl and covering your head.

I finally managed to crawl under the truck and the deer went away. So now I know why when people go deer hunting they bring a rifle with a scope……to sort of even the odds!!

I give you one guess, he likes bud light, and is a redneck.
Glad you like it. Did not realise it was so long.
He got sent it vis email from a friend.

I am glad it made you smile. You sounded a little sad in your email.
Laughter is good medicine.

Now that is a perscription I coul ger behind, take two jokes and call me in the morning.

Well ya! A move full of hot men who dance around naked.
Oh hey what a wonderfull topic.
What man or woman could you look at all day.
I could watch sullivan stapleton all day. I love the way he moves.
I like that he has a thick build. I like husky men.
Bud is built like that, a little thick. He caught me watching him one day, walked around with this shit eating grin all day

Hi Ladies,

I have had an exhausting weekend with the kids. Whew …. thank god that is over :D

On another note… I’m nervous today. Today FWB n me are supposed to meet and I have told him that we can be FWB again. I am nervous bec I feel as if he will not show up. He has never ever treated me bad and has been really good and patient with me. He has always shown up when he said he will. And if there was some difficulty, he has always communicated it to me. So I don’t know why I am feeling this nervous. Is it my 6th sense or my ANT or what??

I wanted to take my 3 year old skating today but cant find her bob skates :(
