I FINALLY MADE THE DECISION THAT THIS WHOLE LAWYER BIT VS TEH ELEVATOR COMPANY WAS A WASTE OF TIME--i have never sued anyone in my life- and i SHOULD NOT start now- never should have got involved with any lawyer....HE KEPT TELLING ME I DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT THINGS WRONG WITH ME.... NOT BEING ABLE TO STAND IN LINE AT STARBUCKS DID NOT CARRY ANY LEGAL WEIGHT--- WELL...MAYBE THEY COULD RELATE BETTER TO....... IF I WAS A MAN... WOULD NEVER AGAIN BE ABLE TO STAND AT THE URINAL FOR THE 23 SECONDS THAT I STOOD WAITING FOR THE #$% ELEVATOR ON THE SURVEILANCE VIDEO... THER E IS ALOT OF STANDING AROUND THAT I CAN'T DO. -- IT HAS CERTAINLY TAUGHT ME THE PROBLEM OF TRYING TO BALANCE---
. i may still try and hit them up for a graNT FROM THIER CHARITY DIVISION... IT IS A HUGE COMPANY-- AND SERVICE DOG PROJECT LOST IT'S #1 STUD'S SERVICES... THAT IS ABOUT A 4 YEAR LOSS IN TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER..... TIME BEING THE ONLY TRUE CURRENCY.
THERE ARE ALOT OF VERY FUNNY STORIES ALONG THE WAY WHICH I COULD NOT MENTION BRFORE ... SOMEHOW HIS APPROACH TO THE CASE WAS JUST NOT MINE- ---- "DON'T TALK ABOUT FEELING BETTER IN TEH DAILY DOGGIE-- THEY ARE READING IT"---

MAYHEM IS STILL ON GERMAN TIME--- SHE THINKS BREAKFAST SHOULD BE SEARVED BEFORE 4AM... MAKING IT HARD TO CONCENTRATE.. TRYING TO GET ON A ROLLING STOOL IS HER NEXT FASCINATION THAT DEMANDS ATTENTION..

THAT INTELLICAST.COM ACTIVE WEATHER THING I WATCH DOES NOT SHOW A THIRD BLIZZARD..... NOT AT LEAST YET ---TEH BLUE SNOW LUMP MOVES TO OHIO AND THE GREEN AND YELLOW RAIN PATCH IS IN NORTH CARLOINA - BOTH MOVING SLIGHTLY I OUR DIRECTION - BUT NEITHER ONE IS A BIG AS LAST WEEK'S 2 STORMS.
****
WEATHER--- HORSE PEOPLE GET OUT IN WEATHER-- GOT TO GO TO THE BARN TO FEED twice daily...-- REGAardless... 4-H kids are the most reliable future employees.... i am convinced of that--- 4h kids may love to sit in the warm house and watch tv-- but only after they have frozen their fingers off dealing with frozen hoses and ice buckets...... i remember......... we had in lynnfield... what was called a "gate valve" it shut tot water off 4 foot down a hole to below the frost line.... and drained the rising pipe-- work 99% for years... teh 1% was the fact that sometimes a teaspoon of water got stuck in the upper handle.... necessitating about 1/2 cup of warm water to free the handle. my 4h kids ( janine, gwen,+ neighbor cindy ) knew2 that between them, they always had at least a 1/2 cup of warm fluid on/in them so they did not have to run back to the house to free teh handle...
**
so--- this last storm.... janine went to florida for some conference-- and her usual volunteers got blocked in with fallen trees etc... she called-- would i go check IN HER LATEST HERD OF DONKEYS.......-- i did-- she had 7 healthy hungery donkeys in the pen/stall and one by himself standion in hay bundled up in an oversized blanket. only one chunk of hay around... so i threw it in the stall for the 7-- and came home and asked tanner and tom to take over 2 bales of hay and some water--- just take off the strings and thro an entire bale on the floor iN the ir stall... which they did and gave them some water... donkeys can live very nicely on hay and water... she was do home last night - THEY SHOULD BE FINE-- TEH STALL MAY BE A MESS...-- A DRY MESS-- BUT THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT
DONKEYS ARE OK WITH HAY AND WATER, BUT I THIK MO LOOKS A LITTLE THIN... RE REASON I BOUGHT THOSE FEEDING BAGS IS SO WE COULD GIVE EACH DONK WHAT THEY NEEDE WITHOUT THEM TRYING TO STEAL EACH OTHERS GRAIN... SO MO NEEDSW A BIT MORE MAYBE EVEN A LUNCH FEEDBAG IF ANYONE IS AROUND,, ONE SCOOP AND HANG IT ON HER NOSE....

TODAY STARTS GRUEL DAY WITH THE LITTLE PUPS-- THAT IS ALWAYS FUN... AND PAINFUL TO LISTEN TO THE "WARING BLENDER"
WHICH VERY OFTEN DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY MAKING NOISES OF GRINDING THE GRUEL AND TEH MACHINERY ....IT IS PUPPY CHOW AND GOATS MILK... REESE HAS DONE WONDERFULLY FEEDING THEM--- I AM SURE SHE WILL ENJOY SOME RELIEF FROM THOSE TOENAILS--- THO... I OFTEN THINK MOMMIES MUST NOT HAVE SENSORY NERVES IN THE MILK DEPARTMENT... AS THEY OFTEN HAVE BLOODY SCRATCHES EVEN WHEN WE TRY AND KEEP[ NAILS TRIMMED. NURSING DOES NOT SEEM TO BOTHER THEM

TIME.... DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME-- OR AS THE SCOTS CALL IT "DAFT TIME" AND FURTHER UP IN TH E HIGHLANDS THEY HAQVE "DOUBLE DAFT TIME"
A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AMUSING BOOK ABOUT THE HILLS OF SCOTLAND IS " THE HILLS IS LONELY" AND THE SEVERAL FOLLOWING ONES "THE SEA FOR BREAKFAST" ETC------ BUT START WITH THE HILLS....
