sure hope they don't put me in a straight jacket, in a padded room, alone

If they do the room will hopefully have a window so we can wave at you!

I think when they said they would put you in a PADDED room, they didn't mean iPADDED!! Hard to use while wearing a straight jacket anyway.

I hope this helps your poor ear. it doesn't sound like any fun at all. You better take us with you if they send you to the funny farm!

Hopefully you can help your neighbor with the donkeys. She will get a new one every year, that one will grow up and breed also. It will become a mess over several years if she keeps them all. Maybe you can convince her to sell the babies while they are still cute. I know you are doing the best you can.

A lady down the road from our property in Livingston started with a pair of donkeys. They had a foal. It was cute. A freaking herd of donkeys later, that got out and ran up and down the road, was a problem. They multiplied like a cat having kittens. She had somebody come round them all up and take them to the sale, where they probably got a one way ticket to Mexico. I was thinking about them when I made the suggestion of getting the jack cut.

Yes I would be shattered if I could no longer care for and keep Joe. But the difference is, I would take responsibility for him, if I had to shoot him myself, to keep him from suffering from ill care or no care.

Your neighbor sounds like a sweet, lovely lady. Hardly the rough n' tumble hard asses that you and I are. I feel for her, facing reality isn't easy for some folks. You are a good friend and neighbor to her.

Does she have water out where the animals are? If not perhaps that could be run so she wouldn't have to carry anything but the end of a hose. No problem with water pipes freezing down there.

Dirt therapy.

We worked in the garden today, laying down cardboard, then loading the Mule with mulch and shoveling it out over the cardboard. DH is now snoozing in his recliner.

Its too rainy here to think about a garden. Probably be end of March or April area before a garden can be plowed.

 

[Bruce]

this one was better than the last, room spun like a amusement ride, so found it was better to just close my eyes and pretend

I'm not sure if the room spinning with eyes open or closed would be worse!

 

[Bruce]

I bet he appreciates your attitude!

WOW when they they talk about a "person on steroids"...... you are their poster child!!!!!
Sounds like some good investments.
Hope you get some results from the treatments on the ear/hearing.
