I'm happy for those people who find the "one" and stop counting at one, but some of us need to count a little higher than that, before we even get close to getting it right.

True. Then people like me just give up ?I'm happy for those people who find the "one" and stop counting at one, but some of us need to count a little higher than that, before we even get close to getting it right.

I'm too lazy to bluff or bother issuing ultimatums, and I think the Cat-mittee have realized that. So when I get exasperated and say, "Or I won't feed you!" they know I'm serious.
I've been known to stop making their breakfast and plop down in front of the TV when they wouldn't settle down and get out from underfoot when I told them to. Then one by one, they came over and quietly sat down near me, so whenever there was a good stopping point with whatever was on TV, I would get up and feed them.
I think I've only had to pull that twice. They're smart.

Don't give up. Just don't let it possess you.

Nope it hasn’t possessed me. The way I see it if I’m meant to have that “one” then in time I’m sure it will happen and that one will find me. I ain’t in no rush. You can’t rush true happiness.
Oh I agree! I definitely did not get it right the first time!!! Came close to a 2nd but got wise... 3rd time was a charm for me... I have also learned that nothing is perfect And if your prepared for the imperfections and know that forever takes work... the maybe you can have it.. because starting over is not always better??? (But sometimes required!) That’s just my skewed version of logic... probably doesn’t apply to everyone but works for me... i can truly say that I’m happy with my life. On the good and the bad days..I'm happy for those people who find the "one" and stop counting at one, but some of us need to count a little higher than that, before we even get close to getting it right.

Good morning. Well good afternoon
I am pretty happy with my life NOW as well, but I went thru hell a few times in order to have what I have. Also, I'm sure most people wouldn't say they are happy driving a 30 year old car but, you'd be amazed at the attention I get. So right there is #1 I own my own home, but most people probably wouldn't 'settle' for what I have.
So anyway, I didn't become reasonably happy until I was about 75 yrs old. So the good life won't come until almost too late sometimes.
So I found out at 4 am that I had left the sprinkler on in high mode. So I flooded the small tortoise (AB) pen, Bob's grave, Big Bubba's grave, Maks' grave, various turtle's graves, and made a river that went under my house and thru my ROS orchard to my new neighbor's 'natural' yard, and flooded her new fresh dirt and made mud. Oh lordy when she goes out to sit with morning coffee and a cigarette, she's gonna realize her fancy new table and chairs thing is oh god, she just bought this very fancy glass table and 4 chairs, and put it right by my fence only now it's smack in the middle of a mud hole now. So I quickly, well maybe not exactly quickly, I tried to wrap up the 100 ft hose that flooded her yard, and hid it in my shed. Couldn't flood her yard without a hose. Right?

I was horrified watching pumpkin shred her plants ?. I didn’t think she would so fast. She demolished and wrecked her enclosure. She’s now on a sulk that she has no plants till the new ones arrive hahahaha.
I’ve just added a small plant pot for her too. So she has a hide on warm side and one on damp side.
without the plants her enclosure look empty. Roll on my delivery

Mine do that too, I can’t put live plants in the enclosure otherwise they will be destroyed the first day. So I just stick to grass because they won’t eat that.

I have edible grass. But I don’t give it to her. She has Timothy hay in a plant pot on warm side. And another on damp side with moss in it. I’m still waiting for her new log

Hey wait. Lunatics. Why now I’m offended ??
Alright I'm on my lunch break. We got a little break from the hot weather today. I think it's because of the hurricane that just past but it's actually nice out today.
