AUG 3 2020

teenager's behavior is a biological necessity?   NEVER  did i think of it that way..... i learn something new every day from the TV?   some professor said so.. and technically i suppose it could be considered that...now i want a  grant  to study to see if it is that  behqvior that drives older people  into altzhiemers.

this is why i prefer  dealing with dogs.  yesterday the conversation  about children sleeping late came up with janine present.  my approach to a child who wanted to sleep late was to get them up / dressed and outside at 7am, and  then we would discuss why they wanted to stay in bed... usually it had something they had to drink the night before.  i welcomed the concept of parties here at crazy acres  because all i had to do was block teh one driveway which would mean tehy wouold ALL  probABLY SURVIVE  TIL THE NEXT DAY.  EVEN IF THEY DID HAVE TO GET UP AT 7 AM AND LEAN ON SOME TREE FOR STABILITY.
FOR MANY PEQUILIAR REASONS THIS BECAME "THE BOYFRIEND TESTING GROUND"  AS PROSPECTIVE PARTNERS REACTED DIFFERENTLY TO THE 7AM CHORES. THOSE TO ME WERE NOT DIFFERENT THAN THE 2AM CRYING CHILD AND IF A PERSON  COULD NOT DEAL, THEN HE/SHE  DID NOT GET MY APPROVAL.

 I REMEMBER A FEW..... ONE "COUPLE"   SHE HANDING SHINGLES TO THE BOYFRIEND WHO WAS ON THE ROOF OF THE OLD DEAGLE HOUSE  AND HIM WINCING EVERYTIME  AT THE NOISE OF THE HAMMERING MADE   ... BUT HE WAS THERE.... AND ? 40 YEARS LATER .. HE IS STILL THERE...THEY....OWNING SOME NYC ESTABLISHMENT...
AND THEN THE COUPLE WHO  PUT IN THE CULVERT WHICH GOES FROM THE CHICKEN POND INTO THE POND WITH FOUNTAINS...  SHE STANDIND KNEE DEEP IN MUD TELLING HIM WHERE TO ROLL THE ROCKS...ARE THE GRANDPARENTS  OF THE TWINS THAT   DID TEH  FUNNY MAIL CALL WHILE RUNNING AROUND WITH ARMS AND LEGS BELONGING TO THE MANNEQUIN DELORES.
AND THE PHOTO OF SOMEONE HANGING ONTO OVERHEAD  SUPPORT HAS JUST RETIRED FROM BEING A JUDGE.... I LAUGH SILENTLY WHEN ISEE THE BLACK ROBE AND  THINK OF COURTROOM   PROTOCOL. 
THERE ARE SOOOO MANY MORE ---- I CAN JUST HEAR SOME WELL "ESTABLISHED" TAX PAYING CITIZENS SAYING "I HOPE SHE FORGETS ME."

CRAZY ACRES SURVIVES  ON CHICKEN BRICKS AND WIERD FUNNY STORIES.  JANINE'S BOOK' DOGS DONKEYS AND CIRCUS PERFORMERS ' IS ON AMAZON  AND BENEFITS SDP-- THE STORIES ARE ALL ABSOLUTELY TRUE.  NO ONE COUND MAKE UP TEH STORIES... LIKE    OF CLIPPING THE FUZZ OFF THE  MALE PARTS OF A SHEEP  WHILE  SITTING ON  A TARP ON THE FLOOR IN A MENS ROOM IN AN OFFICE BUILDING IN BOSTON. OR RUNNING 8 LOOSE DONKEYS THRU BOSTON TRAFFIC IN ORDER TO  GET TO THE FREIGHT ELEVATOR  TO THE BAR  THE TOP OF THE PRU..
THESE WERE JOBS... AND SOMEONE HAD TO DO THEM...AND GET PAID EXTREMELY WELL.. MOSTLY BECAUSE THER JUST WAS  NO ONE ELSE TO EVEN ATTEMPT THESE THINGS.   WE WERE KNOWN TO GET THERE.. ON TIME... WITH TEH CORRECT ANIMAL.. AFTER THAT IT WAS ANYONE'S GUESS AS DIRECTORS OFTEN CHANGED A FEW DETAILS.

THAT IS HOW ANIMAL EPISODE BECAME SO FAMOUS IN FILMMAKING.... THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER GROUP OF DARN FOOLS TO BE ABLE TO  TRACK DOWN A LIVE  PRAYING MAMNTIS OFF SEASON... OR  GET A SHOE BOX OF COCKROACHES-- THAT WAS EASIER-- THEY HAVE NO SEASON .THE JOB HAD IT'S CHALLANGES. AND IT ALLOWED ME TO  DEDUCT THE VERY STRANGEST OF THINGS... ALL I HAD TO DO WAS USE IT IN SOME PHOTO SHOOT AND IT WAS "BUSINESS"   THAT IS HOW I CAME TO OWN  A BARRELL  ON SHOULDER STRAPS  THAT SHIELA WORE FOR MAIL CALL .... IT WAS DEDUCTABLE "EQUIPMENT" .  SO WAS THE ARENA AND TRUCK AND THAT MAMOUTH TRAILER WHICH BECAME SO FAMOUT WITH TEH BISTON POLICE... " LOOK LADY,, I WILL STOP ALL THE TRAFFIC, THEN YOU GO  TURN THE CORNER" 
EVERY DAY WITH ANIMALEPISODES WAS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE.  MY  POOR MEMORY WAS NEVER A PROBLEM BECAUSE I/WE NEVER HAD TO DO THE SAME THING TWICE.  CREATIVITY  SURPASSED  EDUCATION.....

? AND STILL DOES????
