Good Morning!

hopefully not too much snow! sure is blowing out though. cats keep wanting out...then IN, immediately! time to stoke the fire....the wind is shaking the house when it gusts. yuck.

Al-just ignore them. :-) thing is someone took issue with a post and have certainly gone above and beyond on picking a fight with you....just shows how immature they are. I did see what happened, and immediate removed myself from that group, and someone kept adding me back into the group, so i had to write the group owner. but i did, and left....i find FB is becoming more and more restrictive - first with the perfectly legal gun sales, and now this-honestly, if they don't like you using a farm name, then they need to ban me too-i use my maiden name because under my married name a few of my hubby's students started cyber stalking me....and given that my married name is exceeding rare in canada, it isn't rocket science to find me under my married name. it's all just petty IMO. we survived well without facebook 10 years ago. LOL besides, everyone that matters knows we are all over here on PTO...and how to find us other ways than on FB.

I'm being good with hubby not here, i promise. not doing anything over 5lbs. i think the coffee pot is still under 5 pounds...hm. think i just sold my one weight machine and the rowing machine....since i can't use them anymore. my surgeon was pretty adamant about not rowing anymore. so. they'll have a good home with friends of mine. it's actually just more annoying than anything-the body is used to functioning by knowing where it is in space, and it's been a learning curve to figure out things like just where my foot is on a stair and things like that....i step on and trip over things all the time now because i don't have the spatial cues of position...so i'm learning to watch out for the cat that lies right behind me when i'm making dinner, and hang onto the railing going up and down stairs, things like that. but it doesn't "hurt" per se...so that's okay. just irritating.

i can honestly say *I* have never had an owl on my head-not that i remember anyways....a friend of my grandpa's did when i was much younger-took his hat...one of those with the ear flaps and furry stuff on it but i didn't witness it...just heard about it after and saw the stitches. OUCH. apparently not that uncommon-especially in wooded areas at dusk. i've had enough things on my head-squirrels, slimy banana slugs (you haven't lived till you've had one of those fall on you head complete with slime)...the cooper's hawk was amazing, and just a tad close for comfort. had my hat knocked off by the wing of a harrier flying through the woods so close that the wingtips hit my face.... my aunt's cat used to drop onto people's heads from the top of doors, i think she just HATED people. pure unadulterated HATE. they got her declawed after my uncle needed stitches. had a chipmunk have a nap in my lap one frosty spring morning while i was turkey hunting. and one deer season a bunny was running from a coyote and crouched down right beside me....then i missed the yote but at least it was scared away from the bunny. and of course chickens on my head, but that's a fairly common occurrence here on PTO i'm sure. ;-P

stay warm everyone!

I remember being scared nearly to death one hunting season. I had just got my bear that am and went back to the camp for lunch. Went to use the outhouse kinda daydreaming when a red squirrel shot out t head height as I opened the door! Nearly didn't need the outhouse.

We aren't collectively doing much with the page except referring folks to the forum....thoughts?
Yes, I would say leave Facebook PTO

WLlady Ha!Ha! That's cute the chipmunk having a nap in your lap, was probably nice and warm. Love too the rabbit running to you to get away from the coyote.
