Glad for your students N. Hope all the neighbor- mess can be resolved.

We all deal with crap in life. Dealing with kids has to be the worst. I should have sold 2 out of 3 of mine at 12 yrs old to a rich Arab Shiek.

When "entitled" grows up, it's real ugly. It's why I let Kerry go to Fla alone to help her daughter select a dress. The level of expectation without merit is astonishing. Apparently Kerry was TOLD that the wedding dress MUST cost 2grand by the girls real Dad. Wow, I wish he would have shown up to buy his daughter a car a few months ago! LOL I was supposed to travel to fla a couple weeks ago with Kerry, NOT attend the school event but be prepared to finance every meal and whim while there while they went dress shopping? No, they have the wrong guy for that. I stayed home.
I hate people like that and I'm not shy about what's on my mind and I'm not so sure I want to attend her daughter's marriage and that's causing issues here of course but I feel like the "plus 1". For the wedding in 6 wks we're supposed to go through her ex to book at the selected hotel. I don't like being dictated to. Life sure keeps it interesting.

I have noticed that I have never felt out of place or somewhere I didn't belong in Nature. Nature has never lied to me, ignored my feelings nor manipulated me. It never cheated me, used me or took advantage. Nature doesn't keep group secrets, it doesn't steal or measure me against a fantasy.

Maybe that's why I can feel more peace in nature than in any other human presence.

Sometimes it just seems a lot easier.

Before you wonder...kerry& I are fine.....its the rest of them that I have issue with.

Ok, rant over...well not really. I put my motorcycle together and the carbs leak .....arough!!!!!😞

Good evening Lyn,

Did you notice a strange star in the sky last night? It was created by a rocket launch in Florida.

Natrah
This is the rocket you probably saw.
SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the NROL-69 mission on Monday, March 24, 2025 at 5:48 PM (UTC).

Leaky carbs, of your rant today that is the worst news😁
What I tried to do with my 5 sons. When I got divorced and paying 450.00 a,week child support.
I tried to send them to Rwanda. There I could feed each of them for a week. For the cost of a cup of coffee a day.🤣

Do any of you on the other side of the pond. Live in a small village like they show? I think it would be wonderful to live in one of the brick houses there.

Hi Natrah no I didn't unfortunately until I saw it on the news. I've never heard of the excess fuel being jettisoned from the rocket causing such an image before. Did you see it?

My sister's village and surrounding areas in Leicestershire are a bit like that, very pretty.
Sadly they are not immune to the trend to cover every square inch of green field with new houses though. ☹️

Good morning everyone!

This is Daisy's Hyacinth which I planted after Xmas 2022🐢:View attachment 389031
Have you noticed a lack of bees Natrah? My camellia bush is absolutely covered in beautiful flowers which usually attracts dozens of bees, but this year not one! Very concerning 😟1000004977.jpg
