Like trauma.<br /><br />So if the verifying code spelled out GRAVE and that is a measure of what's to come, look for some funny posts! The Gravity of any situation triggers my badly-timed humor and then I spend the next few months apologizing to people for having such a ridiculous 'defense mechanism.'<br /><br />ha!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />CZCZBZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575206236892096611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801485432556979796.post-14686484460925218502011-09-06T16:35:25.984-07:002011-09-06T16:35:25.984-07:00Hi Lady Nyo,

Their eyes though, it's hard to look in their eyes after feeding them for months and know you're sending them to the slaughter. Farm life is tough. <br /><br />Over the years, my ol' hard-hearted Dad has finally given up raising his own meat. It took decades for him to 'attach' to his cows as if they were pets and he almost suffered post traumatic stress when the traveling butcher was scheduled to arrive. <br /><br />That change of heart in my dear old Dad was shocking and proof positive that 'age' is (not always) an anti-dote for narcissism.<br /><br />I'm so glad my blog is warm and welcoming and "connecting!" You could not have given me sweeter compliment!<br /><br /><br />Hugs,<br />CZCZBZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575206236892096611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801485432556979796.post-57107929224986592442011-09-06T00:32:12.036-07:002011-09-06T00:32:12.036-07:00FYI - My post verification (those squiggly words) ...FYI - My post verification (those squiggly words) was GRAVE.

Other topics at first until I worked up the courage to tackle that elephant in the room. I haven't quite writing since, and for that I am grateful. As a lover of pies, I have to tell you that back in the day, that when my mother made a cherry pie she poured a spoonful of Red Dye #2 into the can of cherries for just the right effect.

I needed to read this this morning......Hehehehehe! I needed to read this this morning...a day that is to be tooooo hot and the cicadas are buzzing already. Not waiting for the heat of the day, just anticipating it.<br /><br />You got that right! Writing, blogging is a marvelous form of therapy...and even if your thoughts put down aren't really clear upon later readings....you are sure to find some connection in another's reading. Problem is, most keep their "ah-hah!" moment to themselves and you don't realize that you have struck a chord!<br /><br />But sometimes what you write just impacts, makes that connection so deeply the reader can't help themselves and makes that contact. Your day is changed for so many reasons: We don't live on islands, though it sure seems like it.<br /><br />Your blog is so good and connecting, I had to write! LOL! Be of good cheer! I have never made a cherry pie worth the crust, or a crust worth the cherries...LOL! It remains beyond me...though I did buy an antique cherry pitter that pits TWO cherries at a time....that's a long time pitting cherries for a pie...so canned cherries is the way to sanity.<br /><br />I like cows too. I look in those liquid brown eyes, and I see the Peace of the Bhudda. They are substancial beings, and not so tippable. Perhaps if we just didn't eat them, we would have more respect???<br /><br />Lady Nyo (Jane)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801485432556979796.post-84520594809289298062011-08-30T00:27:49.814-07:002011-08-30T00:27:49.814-07:00Dear Ruth,

And every night AFTER midnight, I say, "Well, tomorrow is another day!" Call me Scarlett O'Internet. I may need some serious intervention. <br /><br />It's just that everyone in my household goes to bed by 10:00 or 11:00pm which means I can sit at my computer completely undisturbed and "do the google" all night long if I wanna. <br /><br />Which is fun to do occasionally. <br /><br />It's not so fun at 7:00am, though. ha! <br /><br />Hugs to you,<br />CZCZBZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575206236892096611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801485432556979796.post-87969331862063042452011-08-29T23:56:10.386-07:002011-08-29T23:56:10.386-07:00Thanks CZ,

No need to share your secret with the judges. :) <br />I agree the internet is one of my highlights of my day because my friends are out there. Enjoyed dropping by for a delightful moment with your cows. <br />Smiles,<br />RuthRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07083142637240943607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801485432556979796.post-53699221559295002252011-08-29T23:34:46.957-07:002011-08-29T23:34:46.957-07:00Hi Louise,

Writing has fulfilled a need to 'create' though my first love is covering my hands in mud and spinning pots. I also love sculpture which doesn't require a large vocabulary. Just an intuitive imagination. <br /><br />Thank you for stopping by!I hope your Internet problems have been repaired. Nothing leaves a person feeling more ill-at-ease than being cut off from the Internet. There's a million things to do but all you can think of is twiddling your thumbs and staring at the monitor! Crush my frig. Smash my stove. But please don't break my Internet!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />CZCZBZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575206236892096611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801485432556979796.post-42164517233241236662011-08-29T21:02:57.701-07:002011-08-29T21:02:57.701-07:00Reading what you write always makes me smile!
