I would think  not giving a child a present on Xmas  can be really cruel and have a possible  negative impact on overall progressive mental well being?

 

 

What  :lol:

 

Yes ...its been proven. One year I was denied any presents despite the fact all 5 of my siblings got, I was 6....it was very depressing and made me feel really really insecure, its psychologically hurtful. Obviously I recovered but what about other kids ? 

 

He didn't get the thing he wanted most. We told him obviously Santa thought he wasn't good enough to get it.

Seems like the issue was that you were left out rather than the issue being that you didn't get a gift.

"Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking.

Yes thats true but the whole ritual of everyone opening there presents in front of the family has ultimately a similar result to not getting a gift

Today I spent the day drinking at Hooters with ANOTHER one of my very good friends who is also immigrating to Australia next year 

 

Tequilas flowed and the company was excellent

Im off all this week too so I dunno what to do with myself. Maybe Ill go buy a new snow shovel. And the toilet paper supply is getting dangerously low... ermm.gif

And I thought my life was dull... :p Still not done the shower reno, apparently cutting custom glass for the door is going to take 10 days (?!). Which will be annoying as I won't be home to help my mom with the dogs and contractors, etc. so will have to badger another family member into WFH sometimes. Meh.

HBO has been showing all five seasons of GoT. My couch has a indentation the shape of my rear end because of it. I've found if you watch this show for hours on end you feel very depressed. BSG was like that too. There ought to be a warning label. 

 

It's funny because the books didn't do that to me. /I guess there is a difference between what you see in your mind and with your eyes.

I am at work right now and it is so, so, so very boring. Nothing happens. No orders, no telephone crap (thankfully) and not much else to do. Time doesn't pass at all. The days before Christmas and Sylvester really are the worst.

The coyotes are back. They tried to get into the rabbit pen last night. I "discouraged" them. Now to order some motion sensor lights from Amazon.

 

 

A few years back they got really aggressive. I had to take out one or two of them. Hopefully we won't have to do that again. I'm more than willing if it's needed but I'd rather not. I do like listening to them do their thing at night.

Interesting story, do you think a single coyote would kill one of your dogs in a fight?

 

I guess I'm asking how dangerous are Coyotes?

A coyote by himself is not dangerous at all. Even two or three together would not be a serious problem for Sunny & Tommy. It's when you get six, seven or more they are a real threat. But not to me. To get rid of them I walked out on the porch turned on the light and cursed them out... loudly. They scattered. But one coyote would easily eat both rabbits before I could do anything about it.

 

They are more of a nuisance than a threat so I'm usually inclined to leave them be. but a few years ago they got really aggressive so one night I left my grill in the middle of the yard as bait and waited by the loft window. When they came around I shot the biggest one figuring he was the alpha. They stayed away after that.

 

They live in Anderson Tully a management area real close to my house. I think there are two packs that come around periodically but I haven't seen them in a while. I hear them all the time though but they sound far away.

Thanks for sharing your view, I enjoy having these types of chats with you because you always provide the right amount of detail about things you are knowledgeable about in  a way that is informative...and I know nothing about the bush generally as I have only lived in cities

There is indeed something about Management that tends to draw Coyotes...(...)

 

Meanwhile, I've apparently reached the ripe old age where I start stumbling on the streets and faceplanting for no good reason. Apparently I can still break a fall, so only have a slightly swollen knee and some grazes due to landing on several body parts simultaneously. Know lets see how that knee bends tomorrow...

I puttered around the house most of the day but managed to take care of a few errands. Super tired. Spent the night offering up my guts to the porcelain god then woke up late to a nose bleed and found out that I had the day off but not until I'd already clocked in a few hours.

 

I also fixed a vacuum and made horseradish vodka but I prefer to dwell on the negative. I'm getting old.
