This Place is Just A Reality TV Show, Without The Video. Plus Added Urine Cures

For Sale To Any Gypsy Family:

My Grown Children.
Will work as full-time babysitters and wagon-cleaners for food.
But, it has to be "Vegan."

I get all the grand children. Pause ..... I changed my mind. Fifteen grandchildren at once, uh. They would not make it on this place, and I would have to run-away.

My husband called from work at the Fire Station and asked, "How are you doing?" I said, "Oh, did you see my Facebook status?" I then proceeded to tell my husband that I had my life all figured-out and just minutes ago and I posted it on Facebook. "Did you read my post?" "No." and he started laughing like crazy, "So, you have yourself all figured-out?" More laughing, laughing, and me sitting here with a puzzled-look, and me resenting the fact that he can't take me seriously. SERIOUSLY, I think I everyone is crazy, but me.

I'm skipping Church because I wore cowboy boots, ran across the arena to break-up dogs fighting and with grandchildren in the middle, and I took my heart medication with soda pop. Actually, that made me feel like I had been blown-out with a shot gun in the back!

I should have gone to Church! Dang Dixie, the visiting dog, tripped me outside. Dixie running to bite our horse, Banner, and I was running to make her stop. Running! Really, serves me right. I needed that lesson. I am better! Just a couple of chewable cherry Tylenol. I could have gone to Church and been fine. I'm such a whiner. Hold on ...The dogs are fighting AGAIN! Okay...large fight on Ojai Road. Now, I'm glad I was here.

Reason for this post: I just found out that this week is Family Abuse Week. Sheesh! I never, ever get a break!
Gammy's Rules:

1. No peeing off the front porch. I don't care if you're are afraid of Mayflies. Why do Mayflies pick my bathroom to die.The long legged-bugs are just large and don't eat little kids.  Mayflies aka "kid eaters" The truth is they do NOT have a mouth. (and that should give you bad dreams) They don't even eat mosquitoes while they fly. There is no excuse! "Go" in the bathroom!




2. No popcorn in the living room. It sticks to my bare feet and feels icky.


3. Hit the target area, I painted in the toilet. Grand daughters are exempt. But everyone always has to check for "tinkle" on the seats. BTW Mothers..I used fingernail polish before and this was a paint pen. Urine dissolves paint pen paint. Say that three times real fast! lol I'm getting porcelain paint at JoAnn's and try that.
4. No nose-blowouts anywhere, ever. Not even in the "Forbidden Forest" Take a hankie with you. I don't like "elevens," either. Do not use your T-shirt or dress.
5. Don't play in the snakes! Don't march through tall grass or even play under the porches or in any of the rock piles! You are NOT allowed in the "Forbidden Forest" "Jurassic Park" or the "River-bed" EVER!



6. Do not stand on anything but the flat ground and don't run on the pavement.
7. Never hurt each other! Never throw rocks! Never throw sticks! I can actually think of tons more nevers, but if you think just for a second on anything you do and know it's not right. STOP!
8. Watch out for everyone and help them. Little kids copy big kids and that leads to danger.
9. There will be ABSOLUTELY NO GUN SHOOTING ALLOWED! You can pretend shoot, but DO NOT EVER POINT A GUN AT ANY PERSON, EVER. Not even a toy gun. That list includes knives, swords, sticks that are swords, or rocks as grenades. Never shoot a birdie of any kind and I hate those plastic BBs. They do not recycle and animals can eat those plastic tiny balls by mistake, even real BBs. I hate to break the news to you -- but they really, really hurt. I was shot in the arm from far-away by a neighbor and I bled. The mark is still there after 40 years.


1o. Kiely is not a little kid and an adult. Treat her with respect. She sits at the "big table" now.
11. Don't whine and don't tattle. But... if it's serious stuff, tell an adult immediately.
12. NO THROWING PUPPIES
13. NO PLAYING IN THE HAY. It messes up the feed and the animals all get sick and straw is all over my house
14. Love each other, love the animals, love the plants, and leave each place you play looking better than when you got there. Leave the ranch land nicer than when you started playing in the area. No trash, buckets, toys, forts, and orange peels, anywhere. Actually, the Boy Scout Outdoor Rule: "Leave No Trace," is the new saying. I mean it! These are my rules and now you YOU also have these rules...

Boy Scout Rules (Applies To My Girls as well) I wasn't a Den Mother for years NOT for fun..but I did, anyway. Have fun, that is...

A Scout is Reverent.
A Scout is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties. He respects the beliefs of others.
Note: Just in case you're wondering, my #1 rule about peeing off the porch includes everywhere and anywhere but the proper place, except in an emergency. Pee definitely takes off the paint. That has been proven. Pee shot directly on my roses turns them yellow and dead. That has been proven, too. Yes, it does write in the snow, but I didn't need to add that information, right? If your a boy, you've tried it. For more information that is probably a bunch of "total bull" a reasonably wrong, good site is: Urine Cures

Grandma is exempt from powder-puffing anywhere and everywhere and that's not a metaphor for something else. I love powder. I rest my case and YOU WILL COMPLY! I am going into hiding in my "Cave of Wonders."

Squirrel!

It's Raining! Smells Pretty and I Love It!
