We raise sheep, and even tho this isn't ours, knowing how scared sheep get, this is very funny!
What do you daydream about? Is it something far-fetched, or something that might actually happen?

I don't have much time to day dream, but usually as I fall asleep, I try to imagine how things would be different. It helps me fall asleep many times. Like lately I've been thinking of turning our old ranch house into a bed and breakfast. Even tho, I doubt it will ever happen, I picture it each night as I remodel it, so it will be perfect. I have the paneling and areas all mapped out in my head!! I can even imagine, how fun it would be having guests!!
Silly I know, but heck it helps me to sleep.
What's the best thing about your mom?
My mother had patience and elegance. She could do anything with nothing, she was amazing! She passed on when I was 7, and I can remember to this day the parties and decorations she would have for our home. She would spend weeks baking cookies for christmas, not a batch or two, but dozens of dozens of the most elaborate cookies. The dinners with china from her home in England, silver she had family in England send. Linens and wineglasses, the works! She could do laundry, polish silver, arrange flowers and be ready for a crowd and think nothing of it. I can remember sitting at the top of the staircase, watching guests arrive, and her just being so elegant. She threw her very being into being the best mother and wife a woman could be. Her private letters home to her parents and sister tell the story, and now after she has been gone 40yrs and I'm now a mom, I appreciate her letters all the more. She was homesick and worried about them, and yet her love and dedication to us was all encompassing. She was amazing, she was my mother.
What are you most sensitive about?
I guess I am most sensitive about how people relate to me and me to them. I avoid confrontation because I always want to be the nice guy (girl). I am definately hard to get to know unless you ask the right questions.
Has anyone ever done something so horrible to you that "I'm sorry" couldn't fix it?
Sometimes, "I'm sorry" just isn't enough. I feel like the words are empty and cold. People use them way to often to excuse themselves for their inappropriate behavior. They know when they are doing the action, or saying the words or whatever it is that they have hurt you with, but they are more into themselves or their ideas or what they feel are their wants, irregardless of how it will hurt or wound someone else. Then because they have said the "magic words" it should be all better. Actions my friends, speak louder. Show me the change, make a difference in yourself or in something, just don't excuse it or complain about it.
This is my son, and a friend. 4wheeler, skateboard, snow crashing!!
Hotel Employee in Illinois Accused of Letting Guests Stay for Free
Monday, May 05, 2008
BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — A 23-year-old Bloomington hotel employee accused of letting a number of people stay in rooms without paying has told police she let them stay only because some of them were homeless.
Jeannie M. E. Roberts of rural Wapella was charged Saturday with theft of labor, services or property.
The general manager of the Clarion Hotel called police after discovering that five rooms were being used even though they were not checked out.
Some of the unpaid guests were found in a hot tub, and police said the five rooms had been occupied by about 20 people.
Police said the unpaid guests may have damaged four closet doors, three microwaves and a mini refrigerator. They reportedly also drank three bottles of liquor.
Nanny Rips Baby Girl From Jaws of Coyote in California Sandbox
Saturday, May 03, 2008
CHINO HILLS, Calif. — A nanny pulled a 2-year-old girl from the jaws of a coyote when the animal attacked the toddler and tried to carry her away in its mouth, officials said.
The girl was playing Friday in a sandbox at Alterra Park in Chino Hills in San Bernardino County. Around 10:30 a.m., the caretaker heard screaming and saw a coyote trying to carry the child off in its mouth, officials said.
The babysitter grabbed the child and pulled her from the coyote's grasp, the sheriff's department said in a statement.
The coyote then ran off into nearby brush.
The child suffered wounds to her buttocks and was taken to Chino Valley Medical Center and was later released, director of nursing Anne Marie Robertson said. She was later transported to Loma Linda University Medical Center to receive the rabies vaccine.
San Bernardino County Animal Control and the State Department of Fish and Game were searching for the animal, Wiltshire said.
Miller said there was another attack in the area in October when a coyote bit a 3-year-old girl playing in a cul-de-sac. The girl needed treatment for puncture wounds to the head and thigh, Miller said.
