Stuff Happens... When Squirrels Get Involved...ð

Stuff Happens... When Squirrels Get Involved...ð Preparing for stuff to happen ; we do it all our lives, right? Preparing for school, preparing for work, for dinner, for an exam... for the right opportunity. We even prepare for death. That summer (many years ago), I prepared to go to Scout camp. I assigned my parents one duty, while I was away ; take care of my little and my tiny turtle. That's... all I wanted. Guess what? When I came back from camp, I realized something was strange. My hadn't come to the door to greet me. I asked my parents to explain. Mom suddenly blurted out ; "Your is dead." I was shocked and devastated. "How can you just say that Mom? You can't just blurt stuff like that out. Ya have to prepare me! You coulda said ; '... your was playing in the yard, chasing a squirrel, when he ran out into the street... and got hit a car'. Well Mom? Ya coulda said something like that. Prepared me... you know? I looked at mom and dad sadly. Dad looked at mom, then at me... and spoke... "... your turtle was playing in the yard, chasing a squirrel...." I wasn't pleased with my parents' ability to follow simple directions and keep gates and cages locked. Several months later, my parents walked into my room and began a sentence ; "... your grandmother was playing in the yard... " I didn't have to hear much more. I knew Granny got hit a car, while chasing a squirrel. But at least I was prepared. And who doesn't want to be prepared - you know what I mean? Or do you prefer surprises? ðĪ .........................................  ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O |

We're never prepared for many things in life. Other things we are! Prepared for that dinner party? Prepared for that parking ticket?

I am so sorry my friend I agree with you they should of prepared you and not saying they were playing in the yard and then chasing a squirrel and running into the street. I am so sorry you lost your pets, its so sad when that happens to young children as they are truly devastated by the loss of their pets. I had to find my pet rabbit killed in it's cage by some wild and crazy dogs, I was devastated, as Spice ( that was his name) was house trained and I loved that Rabbit so much. I think we should always prepare our children for loss, its one of the hardest things they go through. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day..  Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

Poor Granny, at least she didn't bite a neighbor and hafta be put down.

You can never really prepare for the loss of a beloved pet or relative. Even though they may be older or ill, we want them to live for ever. When they pass, it reminds us of our own mortality.Life is too short....being spontaneous is the kind of surprise that I enjoy. I am preparing for my upcoming mini trip to New England with my best friend!

They sang me Happy Birthday at work, with a cake... a few times. Those moments, caught me off guard. Not much of a surprise, I guess. My wedding ð was a surprise.

I like good surprises. Not the bad ones. I'm always making lists, preparing for the next day and all of the things that need doing. This week, I'm preparing some pottery for the glaze kiln, and getting the sewing room prepared to do some sewing soon.  Pretty soon, I'm going to need to start planning for Christmas!!

Oooo... Book clubs. I love book clubs... So? Whatcha reading? ðĪ Do you serve alcohol or other hallucinogens? Ya know... some people think they sound smarter, after a drink or two. And if they imbibe in the flowery flames of that other substance... they really get witty? Do you ever experience that? ðĪ Of course we drink the stereotyped ladies' drink, wine. Everyone is pretty moderate, trying to be responsible drivers and such, so I haven't noticed any alcohol induced bloviating. As for that other substance...I tend to think it makes me stupid. But in an enjoyable way!

I was part of a couple ... once. We'd have sex from time to time. I also remember (when we weren't 'doing it' ), the reassuring warmth I'd feel, as we'd playfully snuggle up next to each other and discuss new plans and adventures. As I think back now, many 'great ideas' - went south. I recall one day... She finally found the tennis rackets, that were lost in the closet. She looked at me gleefully and smiled. "We should see if Greg and Andrea wanna play doubles." "That's a great idea," I replied. "It will be..." "... fucking STUPID ...! " she shouted angrily at me (drenched in sweat), hours later. We'd lost five straight sets. Then there was the time, I'd dug up the picnic basket. I had always boasted how much fun, picnics in the forest were. I carefully packed it up with wine and cheese and all sorts of goodies... and proudly announced to her ; "Now I'll show you exactly why ..." "... I HATE... fucking mosquitoes," she yelled at me (that afternoon), while smacking another one off her thigh." Did you even bring, the fucking spray? Why do I have to do everything for you?" Or the moment I pulled out our tent, from under some debris in the garage. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking ?" I looked at her. She giggled back at me and excitedly replied; "Camping is sooo much..." "... fucking BULLSHIT !" I bellowed at her, as we drove out of that monsoon flooded camp site. On another occasion, I had a well intentioned notion - to take her fishing. She was eager to try it out. I prepared her for the experience ; "Wait ... till we get out on that beautiful, long pier." "I know," she laughed back at me, while hurriedly packing up the car. "I've got a feeling, that this is gonna be..." "... shittier than I thought... it EVER could be," she whined to me after many fruitless hours, in the blazing summer sun. And then of course, I'll always think back fondly, to the year we decided to host - Christmas dinner - at our home. I looked at her, as I helped set the beautiful table. Carols played in the background, as I spoke ; "You know? I'm happy we're having everyone, over to our place." She lovingly leaned over and kissed me and replied ; "Me too. I am genuinely excited about getting everyone ..." "... to fucking leave , as SOON as possible," she hissed to me, later that evening. The turkey, hadn't been served yet. And that's the way, a lot of our adventures worked out. Couples have dialogues and make plans. Single people have monologues and just do it. I don't mind the monologues. At least I'm not hearing the words - ' Go fuck yourself' - as often. ......................................... You must have your own favorite conversations, misadventures and good ideas - that went bad... right? ðĪ ........................................
