After the sociopath, when the fog starts to lift, many of us ask ourselves, “Why didn’t I see what was going on?” According to a new book, we should probably cut ourselves some slack.

Kimmie,
Get on it girl…..theres a lot of ‘stuff’ in your body!!!!

Yea, you know what lousy patients medical personnel are, but I have been trying to get “healthy” and that means take care of myself medically. Sure it is a bunch of stuff but if we have the facilities here in this country to take care of our selves and don’t use it we might as well be living in the Sudan. It is fairly cheap and easy to PREVENT problems by watching our diet and exercising, and getting a few screening tests run every year and getting some vaccines. Usually the Health department will give flu vacs for free or low cost, there are health fairs that will check Blood pressure and blood glucose, and Health departments will usually do free STD checks too and you may have to look around but even mammograms for low cost or no cost are available in Arkansas for goodness sakes, ,so where ever you live there’s something free in health care or low cost!
Every one of us has access to the internet so there’s lots of good stuff we can look up on diet and exercise, and all that good stuff!

Damn armadillos, wish they’d go back to Texas where they belong! They moved in up here about 25 years ago. When we first moved up here the place was like a swiss cheese with the suckers! We would back the tractor up to their holes and stick a pipe from the tractor exhaust down in their hole and take a shovel full of the dirt mound they had made and gas’em to death. Took a few months but we wiped them about out I guess. Seldom see them now.
Was lovely to just walk among the trees and grass and down by the pond and look at the various trees and vines growing up in them and how pretty the pasture looked. It was a weed/brush covered thicket when we moved back here, but through lots of hard work it looks much nicer now, almost like a golf course.
The soil is healthy now again too, the butcher birds had put bugs on the barbs of the barbed-wire fences, and there are dung beetles back here again (health soil has them and they “curb” and clean up after the cows! taking the poo about 3 ft down into the soil) Isn’t that neat! Saw painted buntings song birds here the other day, and a hawk that nests near our yard. So it’s peaceful here again and the black cloud that hung over the place (almost a real one!) is about gone now, though it is still kind of “dark” over by the egg donor’s corner of the farm. I don’t get too close over there.

I smoke two packs a day..have tried to quit but I justify it as my only guilty pleasure, I am a closet smoker, dont smoke around the grandkids or my employer’s or in anyone else’s home or car. I feel like a degenerate, smell like one too..I have made a vow to stop when I get my eye’s fixed, new sight new lifestyle, kinda like a second chance..my eye’s are bad, I am hoping to get the surgery in six months or less if i dont fall over dead from lung cancer. I tried chantix, the patch..I just like smoking, they have power over me just like the spath…just spillin my gutz here…
Aeylah

Aeylah
Hi Hens,
LOL…yes indeed!!!! one I could indulge in myself!
Well….I’m ashamed to admitt, I fell off the wagon and indulged in my toxic addiction …my “guilty pleasure”…once again, as deadly as allways.
after 3 months of NC, got sucked in again with self deception, and malignant optimism only to come out with re-affirmation of what I allways knew! He’s a beast! and I’m not talking a sexy one either 😉
And so….Aila is fighting the wild beast in the forest once again! only this time Aeylah is wiser, less tormented more sure footed and is armed with her poise and arrow!
