Ragdollcatlady's Just a Little Patch of Weeds Farm journal

but the poor guy felt bad about charging so much as he couldn't clear the line with the snake yesterday and almost didn't charge me for his time. I insisted.

Well there is something to be said for paying for a COMPLETED service. Of course some years ago I had to pay RotoRooter to clear a foundation drain line and the guy couldn't manage to get his device down the line. Yeah, I know the connections are kinda screwy (like the guy that did the original work) but the prior time I paid the company for the same service, THAT guy got to the drain line and cleared it so it IS possible.

Yep, worth paying for work, and sure, take a little reduced rate, but being grateful for the service and paying will definitely help to get them to come out again. Glad it is all working better for you.

Today:

I was supposed to work half hour early so we could get a cystotomy done ASAP.... I was 5 minutes late because I got stopped by the same train 2x!

I forgot my phone at work on my lunch break, so no alarm to remind me to head back.

I forgot my gym bag at home on my lunch break.... after I just packed it!

I also forgot my Rx that I was going to take to Walmart to see if they could get me a pair of glasses before the others get done. My spares are killing me!

Ummm, yeah. A little bit stressed out might be putting it mildly. But I did get one huge bill paid off so that's one less thing to worry about.

Ohh and I figured out how to find my other half.... If there is a guy out there that thinks I am adorable, giggling about my baby goat trying to play with his reflection in my new oven door..... That's the guy I want to marry!!!

"Normal" men run from women like us. Anybody tough enough to stick around, is worth a second look. LOL My DH didn't know what he was getting into but to his credit, he rolls with whatever I drop on him.

I still want to introduce you to my son.

 

[Bruce]

Go for it!! Maybe RDCL can bring up a goat or two as an "excuse" for the trip.

BYH matchmaking...….

 

[babsbag]

He lives closer to her than I do..probably about 2 hours. My house is about 6 hours away.

So set them up on a blind date!

@babsbag I have 2 buck kids you can borrow. The smaller one is the tame one of course, the bigger, better looking one, decided to go from 'sometimes I like attention' to not. After separating him from the mamas and then selling Baileys buck kid, he is pretty suspicious of me now. I plan on eating both of them so I am not pushing to sell them. I was actually thinking that if you want to take both, use whomever until you are done.... then if you have the space for them, wether and finish them out for a couple months to get rid of the rut flavor... you could have one butchered, wrapped and returned in a box for my freezer and you could keep the other for yours??? I don't have plans yet to head up to grandmas, but I could pick it up when I do, and a box would be easier to transport than a live animal.... just an idea. Let me know.

Yesterday was my Mamas birthday. She says she is old now. Just like that. Overnight. She just turned 60. I told her about my week and how I am actually aging backwards!!! So I am thanking her and grandma (her mom) for the youthful genes! My birthday is later this month.... so am I turning 23??? or 21??? if I am going backwards....

We never get nice breezes out here, I live in a desert of a bathtub, the very center of California is shaped like a tub with the mountains around us. But the other night, I tossed one handful of fish food into the first water trough. Tossed the second to the second trough, but out of nowhere, this crazy breeze blows the food from my hand to the floor in front of the trough… all of it except one piece. Seriously?!?! What the heck! Grab another handful, same thing but to the other side! About those fish... I bought 20 for each trough (they threw in a couple more so just over 20) with the assumption that a few would not survive. I was adding them in the heat of summer, so I waited until the water had a tinge of algae starting (didn't want thick algae so they cant breathe), but enough to block some sun so the clear water wouldn't cook them with the 100+ heat out there. I lost only 2. I was expecting to possibly lose up to half.... I mean I am glad they didn't die... but I didn't plan on 20 fish for each tank!

I replaced the pickets on the front gate finally... so now it matches the rest of the fence.... but I was 1 screw short! No more 1 5/8 inch screws anywhere in the house. Gotta go to the store... for 1 screw, on 1 board! And my toaster AKA corded drill.... it shorts out on the forward setting now! But of course it is fine in reverse! I always preferred this one to the cordless because it had more consistent power! Nevermind… I don't like it anymore.
