    The journey into the abyss of no return

    A rabbit enters the garden to feed. He eats the growth he did not plant. He takes what he can. When confronted, he does not fight. He freezes. Or he runs. There are men who live by the same nature. They enter the arena not to compete, but to take. Passive aggression. Projection. Shame. They nip...

    Yeah I could have fixed the issue, but when you fly off the handle on me not just this time, but multiple times, yeah I’m going to tell you to F off. Cause this is me.

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Same here, wore hand me down clothes with clothes we pulled from dumpster diving that didn't fit and had buck teeth. Never allowed to attend any after school programs and held a job since I was 10. There is layers upon layers of hardening in me to get through.

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Makes you question your own sanity and if you are in the right or wrong after so much of it. As in, is it me who is in the wrong or them.

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    If I just stayed home and went to work everyday punching a clock like the good citizen, then yes I wouldn't have many problems. Now having to go out and interact with the neighborhood that composes of people who couldn't afford where they lived at, well as the saying goes, cheap land/cheap...

    Coffee anyone ?

    I'm not a person, but a succession of extraordinary events Turn the hot water heater off too, open the faucet to drain the line much as possible, leave the spigots closes to the main line on for expansion.

    You are taught to hate the wolf because he threatens the shepherd, but ask yourself: Who eats more sheep? The wolf is dangerous, yes, but he is free, his moral choices are his own. And that is why the shepherd fears the wolf.

    Coffee anyone ?

    Actually warmer than usual for winter here. Though I understand and will speak for advice on animals, all animals will be fine in your weather, only newborns I would worry about and pets. Might be colder than one is use to there, but it will more of uncomfortable than dangerous, limited...

    Coffee anyone ?

    It's funny to read the local FB groups out here on when they ask if anyone else loses power or who has power on already. I like to reply back; I still got lights on, oh that's right I'm on solar, I never lost power :gig Going on 7 years living off grid, started off with two 6V batteries and a...
