about
As has been recently pointed out to me, I'm old. Being old has it's perks, however. You learn some stuff. I'd like to share with you all the most important of what I have learned. After this day, the cowpie field will be forever gone. Don't feel too bad about it. Cowpie fields and people all have to go away some time.
What I know, that matters.
Never turn on your own. When you come to that place in your life where you have royally mucked up absolutely everything (and we all do)
"some" of your family and an incredibly small handful of people who were really your friends are all that will be still standing there to hold you up. These are the people who love you, no matter what. In that moment, when you are most down, they will be your strength and they will help you find your smile again. Never take them for granted. They are a gift beyond measure.
It is not for any person, no matter how close to you they are, to decide what is important to you. No one has the right to tell you what to care about. No matter how petty a person's interests seem to you, they matter to them.
We have the right to love another person, never to control them. when you begin to control the people you love, you are attempting to take them apart and rebuild them. Doing that destroys the very thing you loved about them in the first place. Let people be what they are. That's your gift to them. Finally, never speak in anger. Words once spoken can not be taken back. They may be forgiven but trust me, they will never be forgotten. Degrading, humiliating, insulting anyone, especially those you profess to care about cuts through their very soul deeper than any knife blade. And can forever alter the heart. Have a care with things you say. They will matter, the good ones and the bad, for an entire life time.
Lastly, every morning we wake up with a choice. To smile or to feel sorry for ourselves and be miserable. Choose the smile. It will sustain you even when life is chomping at your butt-cheeks. There is no medication like laughter. Always, always, remember that.
And with that, I say honestly and finally.....goodbye and I love you all. Write me sometime, if you think about it. freefallingfriday@yahoo.com
I agree with denny. I have my guess on who in the family it is.
((doo wiping tears))
I know I dont comment much, but I read daily. How I am ever going to go without my daily step into a cowpie, I will never know.
Come back, in a secret identity, and let some of us know where you are. NEVER let people in your real life know you are blogging.
((WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA))
I want you all to know that Crabby will be just fine. She is my best friend and she is one of the strongest women I know. You will see her again. It will just take her some time to figure out how but I'm telling you she will do it!!! Never fear! The "anti-blogger" gets to her once in a while but she always comes back.
In the meantime, you guys stay together and take care of each other. That's what she would want. Crabby, you know I'm behind you 100%. Call me if you need to!
Naw, I don't think anybody in my family is thinking of themselves as righteous. Actually, I'm not really so upset with my guys anymore.
My feeling is, this was a misunderstanding that blew up to monumental proportions.
My son saw a pic of his mom's bare back. It made him uncomfortable. Not as bad as walking in on your parents having sex but...not comfy. He over-reacted.
My husband, is a husband. He doesn't want any nakie parts of me on the net. LOL! Nor would I be tickled with him doing that.
the bigger problem for him was that he thinks blogging is all I do and that I've become addicted. Well, you guys blog. You know how it is.
Arguments with me and Jake broke out. Me feeling like he had no right to take that pic thing to his Dad and he feeling at first like the whole thing would be a joke but I would be "talked to". And at first it was a joke....but then it wasn't.
And here we are. No bad guys. No good guys.
Just a blog closing. No biggie.
e-mail me people. I still have mail! And I can still comment from time to time.
My friend knows me very well. I'll be back. I'm persistant. LOL!
Milky, you know I love you too. Geesh...what a ride we've been through over the internet years. LOL!
Cappy, mail me! freefallingfriday@yahoo.com
Doo dah, mail me! freefallingfriday@yahoo.com
I'm not dead. Just grounded.
Glad you are not dead but this was starting to sound like a eulogy or something. Blogging is a tough thing for anyone to understand. It is a form of expression that sure can be mis interpreted. Anyone hearing about a blog really can not get the concept.
Of course blogs are addicting. That is why I backed off a little. I needed to get some things done. I needed to give a few projects at work some after hours attention to get them where I felt they belonged. I have come back some and will do so even more. I look forward to your return someday Crabby and what was that email address? 1 900 Call-Crabby?
Take care my friend.
Dangit! I don't want you to go anywhere. I was just starting to really get to know you. And we have so much in common! Friends are often hard to come by, and I feel like I'll be losing a friend if your blog is gone. I know we can still e-mail and all, but...I love your stories and tales of great fun. Oh, and cowpie fields may eventually get turned into something else, but the smell never goes away, completely ;) I'm really gonna miss your blog, Honey. And you're not old. I say so.
Those were good days. The best. We had so much fun.
I look the same but...how boring is that? LOL!
I can see some differences. More on our videos. My skin was....different...smoother or something. And all my parts were higher up.
LOL! I am NOT supposed to be posting here. I'm supposed to be deleteing. However......delete is such a final thing. hmmm. Wonder how long it will be before I'm outa hot water? Course that would mean I couldn't get into anything new that remotely smacked of trouble.
sigh. I don't think I can pull it off. Serously. Half the time when I'm in the crap heap I have no idea how I got there.
OMG, I always read you 1st!! I finally made it up to the big O this past Thanksgiving (my hubby's from Cleveland), and when we returned, I started reading your blog....Don't think I am weird for saying this, but I could feel the unmistakable connection between you and the maid, it had a ring of familarity (sp) that brought a smile to my face.....oh sheesh the quirkinesses just weren't enough!! I enjoyed reading ya'll both - it was like being able to watch two old friends bantering without the akwardness of a phone, through this blog thing! I can't say it enough....people don't understand internet friendships....I don't believe it is possible for some people. Perhaps it's genetic!!
You have brightened so many mornings for me, you will truly be missed.
P.S. Please get ungrounded soon!!!!
Lurker my buddy, not to fret. I never stay grounded on one thing very long cause I almost always end up doing something worse in another area and then the first one is totally forgotten. LOL!
You'll notice...I still haven't removed anything more yet. That's cause I'm biding my time. Things are starting to slowly loosen up around here.

Check your shoes before you leave.
Such wise words. The one about family and friends being there for you and the one about choosing a smile - those have been especially true in my life. I cannot imagine having my family and those few, truest friends. You are right - they will be with you NO MATTER WHAT. They become your lifeline.
I'm sorry you are closing the blog - I wish I had read more of the posts - I don't know what has gone on - but I have always enjoyed your writing.
You will be missed!
