Sorry to hear the news. That just plain sucks!
Keep the positive attitude.
Remember when your at the bottom the only way to go is up!

Sorry to hear of your loss

Just a speedbump in life - the important thing is that you and the bride are fine!!!

today i was meditating
 

sitting there trying to figure out a new plan for the farm

you have to realize that the new codes are quite different

than the way things were done in 1850

for example... my house is ten feet off the road...

and the new set back law says you have to rebuild 50 feet

off the road... NOW.......... so that changes everything

we'll have to move the septic system too

to accomodate the new house... :hs:

maybe i'll create an Orchard where the old house was
because the spot is 36 feet wide by over 200 feet long

heres an old photo
 

look at it and then imagine it all completely Black

and everything melted

this was the previous owners furniture though ok...

library is closing


see ya soon

I remember you said you lived in mattapoisett at one time....I picked up this painting in mattaposiet years ago. You mentioned this might be one of your mom's paintings? If so, its yours.

the amount of red tape
 

is worse than the seal problem :eek:

Raven my thoughts are with you I can't believe you can still have a sense of humor after everything.

Real happy the wife and Star are safe, the material things can be relaced, your family can't so things are already starting to look up.

Oh, Raven. I am sooo sorry. Wish i was there to lend a hand.

Thoughts and Prayers!

thanks sluggoslinger
 

sometimes all the crap life throws at you
is so incredibly rediculous.... :doh:

that you just have to laugh
and make fertilizer...
~
i planted 75 tomatoes ...yesterday
and a bunch of other stuff too

currently

at the library:

i'm laughing at the lady narating a kids story about ZO-MO
and one of the characters in the book is named Big Fish
who just shook so hard ......he lost all his scales
and now he is naked... :rotflmao:... oh man....:kewl:

speaking of humour

it really helped to hear something so funny

Isn't it weird that when we think of our memories, the ones that first come to mind are the painful ones?
It seems that you could have 100 good things happen to you and 1 bad, and the bad one is the one that stands out.
I think it boils down to human nature and the will to survive.
Think about it: Wh can vividly remember a negative event, probably so that we can try and prevent it from happening again, where as the positive ones are pushed to the "back of the pack" so that we can dwell in the happiness of having it happen again.

Isn't human nature a funny thing?

Raven, I hope you and your family (Star too!) will enjoy MANY MORE positive memeories from this point on. Heck, you've already exceeded your "negative" allotment for the next dacade or two.
