1. Heya 🙂 This one might be a tad short.. note the word *might*.. its just that I’ve got supper cooking. Today hasn’t been a very good day for me. Fiona, my baby, I’ve noticed that the last few days she isn’t eating very much. She’s drinking water but not eating much. She’s lost a lot of weight, when I pet her I can feel the difference. We’ve been giving her the insulin twice a day and giving her the special diabetic food, and another special food for the kidney/bladder issues.. and I KNOW that her health issues can’t be cured and that she’ll get worse, and leave me. She’s 14 1/2 plus.. and all these years she’s never had health issues until now. We were each others company in the cabin.
   Speaking of the cabin.. it was on a natural cougar path.. you really need to be careful honey.. if you have cougars, they’re not to be taken lightly. They’re stalkers. They’ll lay in wait.. up in trees looking down on their prey.. and attack.. and kill. Fiona had been chased attacked and had a good bite taken out of her little boombie.. since I came back from BC I’ve heard of how several women who had been out cross country skiing, hiking, in their yard had been stalked chased and killed by cougars.
   The bears were cute.. I loved watching them lumber about in the apple orchard. Ha.. the one that climbed the tree in the driveway… omg.. it was so funny… he got up the tree, out on the limb..and the limb was in his butt crack.. omg.. if you get bears in your yard.. clap your hands, with your hands in front of you.. not above your head, and yell at them to get lost.. if your arms are up above your head they might take that as a challenge.. so just hold them in front and clap and order them to git…

   I’m still a bit hopeful with hubby.. we didn’t get married in a castle, but the church was built in the early 1300’s and it had a lot of medieval pagan elements.. statures, a primitive pagan christening bowl ect .. but I DID go to Warwick Castle.. actually pronounced warrick.. don’t know why.. british people talk weird 🙂 cool weird 🙂 Its ok if you felt a bit jealous.. or a lot.. we’re human.. but theres nothing to be jealous about.. the man really doesn’t give a wit about me.. he’s in Canada now, that’s what he wanted.. oh.. Southern Ontario.. about 30 minutes from Niagara Falls New York.. right on the shores of Lake Erie.. that sorta gives you an idea of the area.. but, I still hold out hope that maybe one day he’ll decide that I’m good person, not pretty, but ok..

   I THOUGHT I was right.. HA.. thank you.. I still wish Hawk and Gypsy well..
   That really sucks huge that you’re having such a rough time with your kids. When will they ever accept that yes, we’re parents, no, we aren’t perfect, yes, we’re human, and yes, we’re entitled to make mistakes, have moments of making bad choices, and totally entitled to having a life.. just like they do, and are.. you’re a good person.. a funny person, so caring, freakin smart..

2. Omg.. you make me laugh.. ok.. first off.. its raw bitter cold here.. this winter has been an actual true old fashioned winter. Since October, each week we’ve either been under gale wind warnings/watches, windchill warnings, snow storms.. a combination of one or all three. Our temps with the windchill has gone into the mid -20’sF.. very cold. How do I handle it? Well, if I have to go out, I layer my clothing. I don’t wear hats, but my winter coat has a good comfy hood. I don’t wear gloves, I wear mittens only.. gloves may look Stylish.. but your fingers get cold.. they’re separated.. so of course they’ll get cold..mittens, your fingers keep each other warm. If its damned cold, I’ll wear nylon type stockings and then put warm socks over.. or wear pantyhose and socks to.. layers.. its all about the layers. Or, I stay in. I have knitted blankets and those cozy blankets with the animal prints draped over my sofa and chair.. and I’ll sometimes use them. Hubby feels the cold far more than I do.. he was raised in a country where winters weren’t anywhere like here. They don’t even have snowplows in England.

   I didn’t realize that Gypsy always had her own group.. even still, no offense, but its a free country and you are entitled to have your own group if you want to. What makes one person so special as to believe that everyone is going to just stay with you and not branch off on their own?? I don’t understand it. Personally, I have never been bitten by the I want my own group bug.. we’re all individual aren’t we.. I don’t mean anything nastie by her.. I hope she’s doing alright, happy and all that..

   yes, I have been in the presence of Hawk.. in a group.. which she is no longer a member. She was one of the ones that hated me.. although she seems to believe that she stood up for me? I don’t remember it that way. Maybe I’m wrong, but I could of swore that she had sent me a pretty nastie, darn near threatening message. But, like I said, I could be wrong. I was pretty upset and it was a bad time. I understand that she’s gone vampyre and there are different types. They do feed on energy.. some have no restrictions and feed on whomever, where others do so with permission, others will go to large group settings (bars, concerts ect) where the energy is high and can consume what they need without harming anyone. To be honest, I’m not totally knowledgeable about vampyre.. just a few things.

   I’ve been doing a lot of inner self work.. educating myself, working on me.. after all, what else do I have, but me, after all, hubby doesn’t want my company. Regarding my Path, I had gone a bit stagnant? Unsure of what to do or where to turn, I had some decisions to make and this is where I had to start. I needed to re-focus, and direction and some guidance, its been a very good thing for me. I’m stronger now.. in all ways, more assured, its better.

   Sweetie, I think that any of your members who are following this are going to learn a lot real quick, and they’re going to think.. ” Who is this chick??? she sounds like a real nutter…” that’s ok.. I’m harmless 😉 no really.. I’m harmless.. although.. gggls..
   I need to get going.. hubby’s home, I need to make supper.. see, I do the domestic thing..

   1. Hey sis, sorry it took me so long to respond back. I actually decided to do some work before goofing off. I don’t know maybe it’s the weather but I really don’t feel like doing crap. I have a lot of stuff on my mind and I would love to tell you but I don’t like for everyone knowing my business. You know what I mean?

      One thing that blew up in my face, I have been accused of being a horrible mother. I got fed up and simply explained that I have a lot going on that I don’t tell anyone. Not them or their father. I handle it on my own. Well I had to open my mouth and I told one child what was actually going on. He mistook what I said, called his sister and now all hell has broke loose. I got the other one calling me and they are going to do this and they are going to do that. It’s like forget it, I always handle matters and it always works out, it will this time. Oh, no! They are coming out here over the weekend to straighten me out. That really should be hilarious. They also read this site so this will probably piss them both off. I am in one of those situations that I am damned if I do and damned if I don’t. It was funny, well not really, I was worried and upset about my current situation. This morning I guess the Goddess just lifted that feeling from me. I suddenly lost that doom and gloom feeling. I was nice and relaxed, no worries and everything is going to work. Then I talk to the kid to explain why I haven’t been involved in his life and all hell breaks loose. You know yourself from the past how all they feel about me on that side. I just got tired of it and was trying to make him understand, I have a life also and problems. Problems no one knows about. Besides when he was younger he accused me of everything in the book. The sad part, yes, sad part, I never did a damn thing. But still got accused. If I had to do it over, I would have meddled like hell. I know you are totally confused now, right? I am never opening my mouth again or explaining anything.

      So much for that, I was just kidding about the keeping warm part. But you did give me some good advice. Ideas I never thought of. I mentioned to Frank the other night I had talked to you and he remembered you. He asked where you were in Canada and I told him I wasn’t really sure right now. We have cold snaps down here but they never last this long. I can’t get over you and the bears, I got a good tickle out of that. I told hubby that and he told me the government had stocked our area with brown bears. Great, all I need bears hanging around. I don’t know why the government has to pick this area to try to restock. I mean, really, go, be kind to some other people, let them enjoy the wildlife. We have enough around here. Our latest addition to the wildlife is the cougar. The lynx has been around off and on. He comes around, finds out he ain’t welcome and leaves. I know the cougar is vicious. It attacked a horse around here and almost killed it. We have had a dog problem around here and I went and opened my mouth. I made the comment, “I wish that cougar would come around here. It would take care of those dogs.” Guess what? It showed up. I saw the claw marks one day while me and Kiki were outside. I thought that is an awful big critter. We sit down on the porch and the cougar was under the porch and I didn’t know it. Well she let us know by a low pitch growl, I liked to have died. Kiki doesn’t realize she is a shrimp, she would have jumped the cougar. I grabbed her up and run in the house. The cougar is a regular visitor and we have a knock down, drag out when the cougar and lynx meet. It is hilarious watching Razzy watching them. Razzy is a bobcat. She sits on the bed and she will watch them come up and then she get off the bed and stands up from the floor looking out the window. That lynx followed me in the house the other day, that was a barrel of monkeys. I was carrying Kiki and the wind caught the door. Here come the damn lynx right behind me. Then I looked down the kitchen, here comes Razzy with her teeth just a’ shining. I got the mop (the only thing I could find) and shoveled the lynx outside. We almost had a blood bath in the kitchen. I would write a book but no one would believe the crap that goes on around here. Everything wild that wants a safe place to hide ends up here. I am so lucky. Yeah, right. But you and them bears were funny as heck.

      You were right about Hawk. I see and saw things just the way you described. She wasn’t very nice to you at all. But she called herself protecting me. Protecting me from what I don’t know. She always thought you were sort of Gypsy’s spy. I am like you. I don’t really give a damn about what others think or do, I am going to do what I want. She never understood why I started talking to you again. I told her that was the way I was. And you were right, Mystie was nice to you. She jumped my butt for not telling you she said hello. I told her the other day I had talked to you. The first thing she asked me, “is you did mention me?” Why no! But anyway, Mystie said hi. She goes over all the comments I make with a fine tooth comb. I know she will read this. So I should be covered now, lol!

      I am sorry about your situation with your hubby. I wanted so much for you to be happy. Truthfully, I was so jealous of you it wasn’t even funny. You travelled to England, got married in a castle, I thought you were going to live a fairy tale life. You can’t never tell it might still work out. Never get up on it. I was so worried about when Frank retired that we would drive each other crazy and go our separate ways. But it turned out differently, we are actually having the relationship we should have had when we first got married. We first got married I almost died and then kids so we never had any us time, now we do. So don’t give up, it might work out yet. But please get out of the attic. Damn, girl what wrong with you? Stick him up there, lol! Just kidding, I will keep my nose to myself and probably shut my mouth real quick. I have already started enough crap by opening it today. Good grief.

      Well sis, I got to run for now. I know everyone is enjoying our comments to each other, lol! This is going to turn into “As The WOTC Turns,” lol!Anyway, whatever you do just keep writing. I have missed the heck out of you. I will talk to you soon.
      Love ya, sis,

3. Heya… well I don’t live out in the boonies anymore. I came back to Ontario after living there for a few months shy of a year. I loved it. Amazingly, my cabin was small. My kitchen and livingroom were one room, the bedroom sitting/writing room were separate, the bathroom was of course there to. In around 760 or so square feet, more than enough for me. I miss it.
   I didn’t mean to dredge up any bad feelings… my mom is going to be 82 in September, she’s now reversing the numbers.. telling everyone she’s going to be 28 🙂 gggls. She’s such a sweetheart.
   I haven’t heard anything from Gypsy since she shut down all those years ago. At one point in time I had her email address, but she blocked me. I’ve seen Malshander on facebook.. but we didn’t really talk, and I don’t remember if he kept in touch with her or not. I really liked her to. I don’t get the misunderstanding. I would think that you had as much rite to open your own group like she did. I wonder.. if she had belonged to a group BEFORE she opened HER own.. if so, did she seek permission? You really had a nerve you know.. ok.. sorry .. that was a bit cheeky.. anyway.. its done.
   My sister had a part wolf/shepherd and he was gorgeous. I loved that boy so much. His name was Shiloh, and he was just such a good boy. He looked more wolf than shepherd.. so very protective.. he lived to a good age. Hubby doesn’t want a dog. He says they’re to much work. In the past I’ve had dogs. Such great company.. I’ve always had cats. Sometimes cats and dogs.. I had this one pooch.. she looked like an Australian Terrier, so frikken ugly she was cute. Her name was Munchkin and was protective to the extreme with me and my kids. Ohh how I loved her. She slept curled up in bed with me.. by that time, mean x had long stopped sleeping with me and was too busy with his internet hobags ect. Munchkin was always with me.. following me wherever I went. I helped her pass and I cried and wailed for ages after she was gone. Even to this day, there are times that I feel the corner of my bed dip and feel her snuggle up next against my legs. I know its her.. she gives me such comfort. Fiona, got her when I lived in BC at my cabin.. 14 years we’ve been together.. her health is deteriorating and its killing me. I know that at some point in time, if I don’t come downstairs and find that she’s passed on, I’m afraid I’ll have to make that really hard decision. I don’t want her to suffer. Right now, I can still pick her up, and she loves to be hugged and she’s not suffering.
   I better get going… I’m so glad that we can chat again.. oh, I’ve been looking around here.. reading all sorts of things.. and the store and all.. I can’t get in on that certificate thing.. I live in Canada.. remember 🙂 I imagine the postal costs would be stupid money.. but.. I love what you’re doing here.. Mist.. I think she might of been one of the chicks that was nice to me..
   As for WP.. as long as it behaves.. we’ll be fine..
   Ok.. now I’m REALLY going to skedaddle… gggls..

   1. Ha, cheeky? Honey, I am use to downright nasty. Cheeky is decent to me, lol! It is great to hear from you. I am glad you and WP are getting along good (for now). I will warn you WP has it’s moments. I was posting yesterday and they threw me out. There is a huge concern right now from all the social medias about hackers. So WP has tighened the screws for a bit. I wonder do they really think a hacker would do all this stuff daily???

      We were talking about our dear, old friend. No, she didn’t belong to another site then break away. She had a group previously before I came along. She told me she made someone Asst. Manager or whatever and they took over that group. It’s like get real there isn’t anything to take over, gee! I have never wanted to take anything away from anyone. I am too personally driven (I think some call it being aggessive). I want my own and to do it the way I want it done. That’s the way I operate and always have. I have lucky enough to run off my reputation and the WOTC’s for all these years. I guess that is why I am so protective of it.

      I want to know how you Canadians stand the cold weather. Damn it is cold here. Our wind chill is suppose to be in the minus range today, all day! If you tell me it is warmer in Canada, I am going to poop, no, come for a visit, lol! I just ain’t a cold weather person. I can feel every nut and bolt in my back. I have been looking at the country for warm spots. I guess we are going to move to California, it seems to be rather warm right now. Hmm, I think I know a dear friend out there. Perhaps he will share his apartment with us (I am hoping he reads this, lol!). He is married and you would love him. He use to visit the site but now he just reads the emails. He has way to many irons in the fire. Hell I do too so we don’t communicate the way we use too. That is what I hate you make dear friends then something happens (nothing bad) and you eventually lose contact with them. I am glad you caught me on Facebook. And that was one of those rare occasions when I actually visit there, you lucky dog ( you won’t never get rid of me now).

      You know you mentioned Mal and I hadn’t thought of him in forever. In fact, he had actually slipped my mind. I know Rosesue and Spirit stayed with us forever. Then I lost contact with them. I have kept up with Hawk but she doesn’t know it. The last time I talked to her, she had changed from a witch to a vampire. I believe she also mentioned she figured out she had been one the whole time. It is like WHAT? A regular vampire is fine but when I think about one the first thing that pops in the mind is a psychic vampire. I can’t go those. So I never bothered to ask her which kind she was, I just steered clear. But she is a friend on FB and I get everything she posts as well as you. I love those graphics or pics you share, where are you getting them at?

      Well got to go, took the day off from posting. I was froze up, lol! I really had to do some running this morning. I don’t generally get out that early but it isn’t going to warm up, so why not? And it is COOOOLD! I know bitch, bitch, bitch. I know one thing everyone willing be wanting you to stick around. They will learn more about me than they ever knew (don’t know if that is a good thing or not). Don’t take that the wrong way, I mean knowing about me, lol! Like there is anything to know. Well definitely got to go, I think Razzy is trying to kill Kiki. Razzy has finally got use to Kiki, Stinker and Frank. Now the minute, I turn my back she shows her ass. Anyway got to run. I hope to hear from you soon, real soon.
      Love ya, sis,

4. It was WONDERFUL talking to you to (((hugs))).. and yes, WP doesn’t like me. I had to play around a bit.. now, bears. Actually, I had never had a thing for them until I went out to BC and lived in my cabin. Strangely, the sofa in my cabin, the arm had been chewed by a bear, the tree directly outside my door, had bear claw marks in it, in the apple orchard just down the hill a bit, I would see bears out there, aaaand, we had a gravenstein apple tree that they’d come and get the apples, and leave piles of what looked like APPLESAUCE under the trees.. ewwwww.. and, there were 2 situations involving dark brown bears, far to close to the house and cabin.. they just seemed to be so all around me.. my thing had always been cats, house cats, bobcats, cougars, black cats, annnnd, lately phoenix and deer or stag have presented themselves to me in various ways.. wolves are beautiful, but they haven’t become a part of my life.. yet.. I’m looking forward to our next chat.. do you know, we have known each other for hmmmm 12 years? Feels timeless to me though (((hugs)))

   1. 12 years, OMG! LOL! You know that reminds me of how old I am getting, thanks! Just kidding, I was trying to remember the other day how long I had been on the net. I remember we met right after I came on the net at Gypsy’s. Do you ever hear anything from her. I guess if you do you might want to email that info to me instead of us talking publicly about her. Oh, well, if we do, they can’t say we talk about people behind their back, lol! I honestly loved her to pieces and she burned me so bad. I hate the way things ended but she mistook my intentions. I guess that is one of those case were you say “shit happens” huh?

      We have wildlife around here that flocks to our yard. We don’t have any bears yet. The government has restocked the wildlife game reserves around here with red wolves and timber wolves. I have had a run end with a wolf that likes to stalk me. He is beautiful. I had a neighbor tell me he was going to shot him. I told him if he shots him on my property, I was going to shot him. I have a wonderful relationship with some of my neighbors. They don’t get into the wildlife like I do. We have a lynx that has moved in and I am trying to move him OUT! I don’t know if you have read the blog or not but I have a wildcat outside and one inside. The one inside came from a litter of three. She was the only one that survived my neighbors. They were living on my property and I was taking care of them when the other two disappeared thanks to the assholes around here. Their mother had already been killed and before she died she dropped them off here. So the her babies never knew their real mother, they knew me instead. The two that got killed were much tamer than Razzy. Razzy was the wild one. She would come up and occasionally let me pet her. Then she would run. It would get under my skin because she wouldn’t let me get close. Now I know that wild streak she has saved her live. I got out that morning and I was crushed when I couldn’t find them. I wandered and called and called for them. Finally Razzy wandered out, looking like hell, and came up to me. When she did I reached down and snatched her up. Then next thing, she was in the house. I didn’t even realize what I had done till it was done. Hubby liked to have had a cow. But Razzy has been with me ever since then. She doesn’t associate with people and I can’t say I blame her at all. Kiki, I don’t believe you know her. She is a little tea cup Pom that my daughter got me after Mocha passed. Daughter has been trying to hook me up with another small pup because Kiki is getting old. I told her the next dog I get I will go out in the field and get it. The wolf that comes up is a male but hubby told me they run in pair or a pack. So I am hoping his mate is somewhere around. And definitely hoping she has pups. I might get ate but I will have another wolf cub. Wolves aren’t for everyone but I love them. It killed me when I had to have Mocha put to sleep. She visited me for the longest time. I thought there for a while I was crazy. Frank finally told me he had seen her too. So I knew she would be here till I found another that she approved of. She and Kiki would play together and when Kiki moved in, Mocha came and said her finally goodbyes to me. It still makes me cry when I think about it. Let’s change the subject……

      But you and the bears, WOW! I would love to come and visit especially in the cabin. I always wanted to live way out in the boonies in a cabin. I was in the boonies but civilization is catching up with me now. Well I guess I better run. I keep seeing the conversation button lighting up. Time to get to work I guess. I am glad you are continuing to visit over here. WordPress ain’t that bad once you get use to it. Like I said they have been super good to us. We occasionally have our differences but doesn’t all relationships. I look forward to hearing from you again, SOON, please! I love you.

5. I love bear, and am often visited by one. A white one once visited me. As well as a black one. I believe that he, or she, was telling me that I needed to be more playful, to make contact with my *inner self* and to take that time to do so.. this was a nice read.. thank you ❤

   1. I have nothing against bears but I personally prefer wolves. Now was WordPress that hard? The only thing I don’t like is if I leave a comment on another site having to wait for the reply. I want to talk now, of course you know that. I enjoyed talking to you so much this morning. We are going to have to figure out something on communicating with each other.
