It is nice that you have someone that will do that. The kids around here are lazy and I would never be able to count on any of them to do things.

I hope your back gets better soon. I know what an inconvenience it is when there are so many farm chores to do.
Yes, many young people I'm finding lazy or just plain clueless. Many never knowing hardship and working for what they want. Even college Agriculture graduates out of work won't work as farm hands as some consider it demeaning or something. If my operation ever did get large through Natural sales, I would hire a hard, humble worker over a highly educated person almost any day.
I do agree though that having a degree from college is helpful in the main stream job market. I didn't get a degree as college and I just didn't fit and it was harder for me to get to were I am but it is possible. I still push kids that work on my place to go to college or get a certificate at a tech school.

Bear Gryliss is an idiot. Aren't these shows supposed to be some what realistic. Lots of thing Bear does many the average person can't do and if they did would become a statistic, lol. Yes, lets try and climb that waterfall, WHOOPS I fell and broke my leg, wonder if that Jaguar will eat me.:weee

Sorry to hear you are bored and in pain. Bad enough when you are bored but the combination makes a person more miserable. Glad to hear you found some help so that you can take the needed rest for your back. Hope you are back on your feet soon. :)

I hear they are wonderful drugs and had to see a 12 year old "loopy" too. But please just don't overdo the use. Yes, they are needed, but some do overextend that need. It's not just illegal drugs that can get you. Hoping they help and your "loopy" days are few. :)

I'm liking the pampering of said Wife. I think I'm going to get "hurt" more often, with all the back rubs, serving me sofa side dinners, drinks and other wonderful things....heee, heee. :D.
I changed my password and I'm invincible, muwahaha.

IMHO, I think that as long as you support the fun she's having with her cows and goats, those back rubs and sofa side dinners and drinks and other WONDERFUL things will continue.

All I see is a WIN/WIN situation. And that makes you both invincible. Enjoy the fun. ;)

You will get bored with it in a few days. It sucks not being able to get anything done. I hope you feel better.

Hubby loves those survival shows. But since he has done LOTS of backwoods packing and mountain climbing he knows what a joke they are.

I have a friend who is is on the Mountain Search and Rescue team for Mt Hood. He hates those shows. He says those and cell phones have made his job 10x more difficult.
