I felt like a zoo exhibit. Oh for another Baboon in this cage!<br /><br />No, I don't have chains or logs or a moat infested with alligators. I have relied... up till now... on my weirdness, to keep the norm at bay. Alas, there a freak show will always (eventually) draw a crowd.

The only time anyone comes here is when they want something.<br /><br />Regular people are sometimes jealous when they happen to notice someone else is doing what they like. <br />My life rule is "do what I like if anything comes of it then good if not then oh well". Doing what I liked sometimes made enough to live on and sometimes not but I can't say I was ever unhappy about not having a net gain. <br /><br />The most artful thing I have done with wood is make it into small enough pieces to fit in the stove. When I look around at some of the other things I've made I sometimes think I should put them into the stove.Oldfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14688289425207257034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498536450964913359.post-75587342766148794642010-12-21T07:54:58.649-08:002010-12-21T07:54:58.649-08:00Steven,
Thank you for asking for my grammar advic...Steven,<br /><br />Thank you for asking for my grammar advice :P I believe the proper term in this situation would be "whom," since you're talking about people. If it were objects, you would use "which". ;)<br /><br />And, Steven...always do what you love. Honestly, what does money matter in the end? Don't compromise yourself and what you care about.Emmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06290515700311919367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498536450964913359.post-34679002758389384742010-12-21T06:28:26.967-08:002010-12-21T06:28:26.967-08:00I relate .. everybody is a critic and an advisor w...I relate .. everybody is a critic and an advisor whether they know anything about what they are talking about or not... and they mostly think they are helping in some strange way... and we find ourselves smiling dumbly, biting our tongue and waiting for them to leave then desperately figuring how we can make this not happen again...<br /><br /> most folks... just ... don't... get... it.<br /><br />...as to the driveway.. we have relented to putting logs across it many times but they drive right over them.. or when we put bigger more obvious ones there, they park their car and walk up the rest of the 1,000 ft hill.. they are determined in their thoughtfulness.. haha.. really though it is nothing to laugh at.. I think they are all looking to be entertained.. a lot of people have nothing to do and it drives me up the wall.<br /><br /> yep... you hit a nerve.<br /><br />I'm wishing you some Peace and Quiet.Gwen Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410235558740636534noreply@blogger.com
