Sure are seeing a lot of deer lately. Last evening coming into the village, I stopped to let a doe and her fawn cross the road. The fawn has now lost his cute little spots. :( Then coming out here last night to get online, I had a young buck showing off.

He's healing pretty well. Looks like he will be out of work for a week though.

Tell him it's just a scratch and get back to work, lol. The bathrooms not going to finish itself you know.

Did you make it to work on time buddy? I wish I didn't live 3 hours away and work 2 jobs. If love to be there helping. Hopefully I can quit the second job after the new year and get my weekends back!

Oh yeah. On time as usual. Not looking forward to the dump truck of mulch, dirt I'm gonna have to wheel barrel into the greenhouse tonight though. It's needed though. Tortoises are borderline needing to come in. Getting cool at night now with a dew. Some love it, but some need to come in. So gotta get the greenhouse wrapped up. I hear were gonna hit 50s the end of this week. So I'm on a very tight schedule. Uhhhhhhh I hate 50s. I'm sure it's still a million in Houston though? Haha
2 jobs? What for?

We're supposed to get the same cold front as you but not as bad. They're calling for 68 for a night low. My daughter just turned 16 last week and I want to get her a decent car and put her on the insurance. The only way for me to afford a car and her insurance (without making my pocket book have a **** attack) is to finish paying off her braces and a credit card or two. She just got her learners permit a month ago and has to have it 6 months before she gets her license so I took a second job working 2 evenings a week and both sat and sun so I can have it all paid off and get her a car for Christmas. I don't HAVE to have the second job but I don't want to go further into car payment debit to get her something nice so I'll just pay off a few bills to cover the $450 a month bump in insurance and save up about $5000 for a decent car.

Yeah that's good. Being responsible. I don't have any credit cards. I have had some. They suck.

I hate cc too but they'll be paid off my the end of the year, as well as her braces. I support a family of 6 (plus my older twin boys who don't live at home anymore... When they ask) so I need to have a few CC on hand for emergencies.

I love my shelled kids. Don't forget I'm looking for more reds or yellows. My wife had one of our Redfoot our showing him off to some company and I over heard her tell them that she's never had a pet that she's been so in love with. She's had cats, dogs and birds but I guess she never really cared if they were there or not. Also my son who just turned 4 is the first one to correct people. "They're tortoises, not turtles"

I bet you have more cost to keep shelled kids . Haha
Haha. Well yeah probably. I'm always draining the pay checks when they come in. It's easy to figure how much I spend on them too. My work pays for my gas, my truck is paid off, my house is rented, my phone is paid by work. So yeah car insurance and food is all I pay for myself. About 500 a month on myself and the rest is all tortoises. So yeah haha I guess I do spend way more on the shelled kids than the humanoid kids. Man I do spend a lot of money on them now up that I put it into perspective.
