right...cause a two headed calf is makes much more sense than a three headed cow.

Ok. When I say, "you live on a farm." and you respond with, "we live on a farm" I'm not sure we are talking the same language. Is it just me?

1. Are YOU guys the farmers?
2. I thought you were going to move?

I personally am NOT a Farmer! My husband works on the farm. He is the head Milker. He does the 4am milking. He has been working here since fall of 95. We moved into the dormitory complex back in 97 So technically I live on the farm and DH works on the farm. It is a very complex farm they have their own people who just do crops people who do the milking and then we have a maintenance staff that fixes everything, plus a whole horse group that does everything from groom and feed the houses and collect the semen for sale. Then there is the OFFICE people who pay bills and write paychecks. Oh don't forget about the college there is another whole staff there too! YIKES a lot of people.

As for the three headed cows vs two headed cows both are abnormal here but we do have cows that have holes in their stomachs that you can put your hand into!!!

As for the move we are moving about 1 mile down the street on our own land! Right now we rent from the farm. Which is nice and all but we want our own place so I can have the freedom to do as I please....ie: if I want to paint the walls Pink and purple with green polka dots I can do so not that I would but just saying it won't have to go through 5 different people to get an ok

Hey! Wow--lots of busy babes this morning! Good! I like to be able to read while I feed....

Lyz--we don't have our own pool. We belong to a pool club. MUCH better. Cheaper, no work and I don't have to have OPKs (other people's kids) at my house all day every day of the summer.

Liz--OMG she is adorable! GREAT pic...thanks for sharing. Stop working for the day. C'mon...you know you want to!

Steph--Talk about OPKs!! Nightmare! You are a saint! Funny farm stories this moring. Lyz with her pigs, you with the cows, Nancy with her goats...(and Jodi with her pumpkins and raspberries...)

Paula--YAY for AC! Work should be much better today!

Kat--are you feeling better today?

Nancy--glad you got a ride in! Woo Hoo for starting to get your life back! "Security breach" had me laughing out loud!

As for me--I did my first ride on my new bike this morning. I really liked it! I didn't want to do too much since I am still learning the bike and all, so I rode out to the beach. So it was 6 miles to the beach, 4 miles along the coast, and 6 miles back home for 16 miles total. Just under an hour. I really liked it...and it definitely worked my legs in a different way (wow...there is a reason they call it cross-training...whoda thunk?) I definitely didn't get the cardio workout that I do with either running or boxing, but I felt it in my legs and butt, so I guess that is good. I will have to get a core workout in later this evening.

Ok, gotta get ready for pool day...

Nancy--glad you got a ride in! Woo Hoo for starting to get your life back! "Security breach" had me laughing out loud!

Well, we had another security breach that isn't quite so amusing. Vandals who had a bit of "fun" with the construction equipment up in our back hay field. ...police were just here.. I get SO angry.

They advised me NOT to put razor wire along my property line what you make you think that I would do a thing like that Really though - we have to put up signs, etc...not how I planned to spend my day!

plus a whole horse group that does everything from groom and feed the houses and collect the semen for sale.


OK - so THERE'S a job I wouldn't want!! HEY - you should call Mike Rowe from "Dirty Jobs" and get HIM out there!


As for the three headed cows vs two headed cows both are abnormal here but we do have cows that have holes in their stomachs that you can put your hand into!!!

WAY TOO COOL!

I hear yah... Your own personal space...it's a wonderful thing!

Guess I'm off to buy signs...

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Guess I'm off to buy signs...

I like the idea of razor fencing... I guess you know who was on your property!
Signs don't scare people enough!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

You're right - they DON'T scare people enough. If they are going to trespass on private property and vandalize constructon equipment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, a stupid little "no trespassing" sign is NOT going to stop them.

However, that stupid little sign enables the police to arrest them for criminal trespassing (vs. simple trespassing) AND covers our @sses for insurance liability if some jack@ss injures themselves while messing around with crap that they shouldn't be!!!

(I doubt however, that they will keep us from being sent to jail for aggrevated assult if we get our hands on those responsible... )

 

[HockeyKat]

WHAT?? You overtrain and under eat? I'd never have believed it!

Hee! It does work for weight loss, though, or at least seems to do so for me.

Erika, glad you like your new bike!

Liz, been missing you. Emily is adorable!!

Steph, glad you made it back in one piece!! Going to check out the pics now...

Paula, yay for AC!


I took today off from work... went to bed at midnight and slept until noon. I am calling it a mental health day. Actually, I am still not convinced I am not fighting something off, that is a lot of sleep even for me, my throat is a bit scratchy, and I haven't felt as completely wiped and spaced out as I did yesterday in a while.

I want a pool/beach day... beach is 2 hours away, and pool would require mooching off someone.

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Have a great night everyone stay on track I am on my way to work
talk to you all tonight!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Back. Water-logged ans sun-kissed, but it was a great day. Full report to follow.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Sheesh....where is everyone???

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Well, Kat and I are om IM...anyone care to join us?

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Oh! Forgot to tell you - down .6lbs, and only 24.2 left to go!

 

[HockeyKat]

I am currently drinking my dinner and talking to Liz...

Big news. D and I... WORKED OUT together tonight! This is twice in 4 days! He has weights from before we got together, and we have bought a swiss ball, a weight bench ($40 at wallyworld!), and I bought a mini-stepper a while back, so we are turning our 3rd bedroom into a mini-gym.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Well, Kat and I are om IM...anyone care to join us?

I am on and don't see you! Have been on most of the night.
Miss you!

Oh! Forgot to tell you - down .6lbs, and only 24.2 left to go!

You go! You are such a goddess...posting a loss just about every week!

WOW! I don't have the words!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

I am currently drinking my dinner and talking to Liz...

Funny...I was thinking of you last night as I was enjoying a nice glass of wine...Drinking my dinner as well! Funny - when you eat a light lunch at noon-time and nothing else until that "liquid nourishment" at 7:00pm, it doesn't take much to make an impact! I did however still have to make dinner - with 3 teenagers & DH there is no way I could get away with an evening of no food....

WAIT A MINUTE.... ....you "drank" your dinner then worked out? I woulda ended up knocking myself in the head with a weight or falling off the ball or something ...

Oh! Forgot to tell you - down .6lbs, and only 24.2 left to go!

Nicely done!

Headed out for another bike ride this morning- it's BEAUTIFUL here today...FINALLY! Then LOTS to do again today - <sigh> What is it that Willy Wonka says? "So much time, so little to do. Wait. Reverse that".. Oh - I bought my signs yesterday, so I gotta hang them today ...and work. That nasty 4-letter "w" word...good thing I love my job, 'cause it takes up too much of my time!

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So I hope that everyone had a great evening..... It seems everyone did ! I had great Fun at work I agree Nancy work is a FOUR LETTER WORD.
Last night I had every intention of coming home and plopping my self in front of the computer but I had a strong urge to fold the laundry that I had put in the dryer before I left work because we know no one else will do it and for some reason it won't fold it's self ! So I plopped myself on the couch and watched 2 days of general hospital and folded laundry! I am home for the next two days well today and tomorrow. Tomorrow is DH birthday So I have to find my recipe for his favorite cake and make that for him... I tell he is sooooo old now! He says he can't believe how old he is getting! I always tell him you not older than my mother. It's weird because he is 10 years older than I and then 10 years younger than my mom... HOW WEIRD IS THAT! He was laughing because he said he can remember when he was 20 like it was yesterday and I was like yeah just think when you were 20 I was 10 listening to Michael Jackson and had crushes on boys in the fourth grade. He said I can't imagine a 20 year old sniffing around a 10 year old, that is so gross! I told him my mother had problems with a 29 year old divorced man sniffing around her PURE 19 year old daughter! Now she couldn't live without him! He does almost all her yard work and fixes everything for her that he can!
Well off to do another load of laundry

Liz Great Job!!

 

[goofyfan-12]

Hi Everyone...

I wanted to be online with you all last night, but life has gotten in the way. I got some terrible news about one of my cousin's last night and I am trying to deal with that. The poor thing has been fighting off cancer for the past five years and it is back again. I just don't know how much she can take. My mother is telling me this as we are getting dinner ready so what do I do, instead of eating my JC dinner, I ate a cheeseburger, macaroni salad, corn and what seemed like an entire bag of chips with dips.... a little carb fest anyone... WTH was I thinking??? I really wish I could get my emotional eating under control....

On top of that, I get a call this morning from my company telling me that they still haven't found a suitable replacement for me yet for the project I am on and can't wait any longer for the project in Saranac Lake so that opportunity is officially gone... I can't even decide if I am upset, hurt or angry. To be honest, I am just kind of numb. I have a meeting on Monday with my boss to discuss other options, timelines, etc, but the reality of this is that it looks like I am staying put for the foreseeable future. Stephanie - I would still be interested in getting together for lunch sometime. We are not that far away from each other...

Anyways - I am off to bury myself in work so that I can attempt to keep my mind focused on productive things and not just food.

Thanks for listening to my whining everyone...
Goof

 

[HockeyKat]

No, no, Nancy... I worked out THEN drank my dinner!! My mini-stepper is just feet, nothing to hold on to, so drinking first is a BAAAD idea!

I am feeling a little off this morning, but that will fade. And, I was 165.4, so that is good... hoping for a good number tomorrow.

Paula, so sorry for your bad night and bad news.

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Hey Paula
I am sorry to hear about your cousin! I am sorry to hear about your job did not going through I was very excited to have you closer than you already are.
Yes, I would love to do lunch someday! Maybe when the house comes you can come up and give me you opinion of it! I guess you aren't that far away! Maybe one weekend we can meet in Lake George! The great Escape!

I am in for both options. I would love to see the new house... My cousins bought a modular house and it was a very exciting day when it was delivered. Keep us posted on when it is due to arrive.

I love a trip to the Great Escape. I am addicted to the Comet. We will definitely need to pick a day to get together...
