Today was a good day, and on my blog
I'm so sore. Today I spent putting in fence posts. Good, hard work. Still, I'm sore now. And still have so much more to do with the fences. Polly has been in a feisty mood. We go inside, and she wants to go out. We go outside, and she wants to come in. I've had days like that, so I understand.
Tomorrow I am heading into Portland again. I might beg off of it though, as I have so much to do here. I'll still head into town, but I probably won't spend the night. We'll see.
Still wondering about what to do about my blog here. I'm leaning toward keeping it, but I haven't made a choice. If I do stay here, I might have to shake things on my blog up a bit. Not sure how that will work out, either. I'm still not sure what I want to blog for, beyond sharing my thoughts and experiences with my family and friends. I do that in a few different places, and I'm thinking about consolidating everything. I do know, from reading other peoples blogs, comments, and messages here, that I would probably get labeled as a "Troll" if I did that here. I've always considered myself more of an "Ogre." I'm not going to go out of my way to rile up anyone. I just like to speak my mind. I can take the heat from stating my mind, but I don't want to add to the vitriol and diatribe here or anywhere else. I've done my share of that in the past. I would like to be able to read peoples blogs in peace, as I'm sure most of you would. Maybe if more people just wrote about their experiences, thoughts, and ideas, without tearing into other people for their experiences, thoughts and ideas, we would all learn something. I'm guilty of that too, at times. I've come a cross a couple blogs that never write about anything but what other people say. It would be nice to know what these people think and experience, but I don't get a feel for that at all. Thank goodness most of the blogs here aren't like that. Thank goodness most of the blogs here do give a window into the authors soul; their thoughts, ideas, and experiences. These people are becoming or have become my friends. I really should sort through my friends list to better reflect that. I really wouldn't have to change much.
I don't know, maybe I won't change things at all. I'm ok with writing my experiences here, and many of my thoughts elsewhere. Then, when I do post something here, it's normally something others here would like to read. Many who would like to read my other blog already know about it. Some probably wish they didn't. My life is an open book. This blog is merely one chapter. Maybe it's better that way.
Going to spend more time thinking about it.
Peace,
Raymond

So what kind of posts did you put in? We are probably going to fence in our main pasture here soon, and do it like my Dad does. Large wooden corner posts, smaller wooden posts every so many feet and then most of it in 6' T post.
I am not sure if we are going to go with a field type fence with barb on top, or several strands of barb except close by the house and barn. Don't want the boys running into barb wire.
I to am debating about staying or going.
I doubt that you would be a troll, because you are willing to discuss topics that you post about. Trolls usually won't.
Keep blogging and if you do leave, leave me a trail.
Blessings,
Debi
(Raymonds edit:
Steel t-posts, with wood posts for the gates and corners. I'm going electric for mine, although I have a spool of barbed wire too. Not sure what I would do with it though. I'm trying to keep the fence as temporary as possible, until I have everything the way I want it. This year, I'm just building one to pasture the pigs, for now.
If I do leave, I will leave links to my blogs, etc, on this one. I will also leave up all my old posts here. Thanks for the "Troll" comment. I really am more of an ogre. Peace.)

I am going to stick it out and so should you!
I would miss you to much.
I am having a bad day so I will leave you. I have my head phones on and ACDC blaring in my ears. It has worked for years. People just know to leave me alone when this CD is on.
peace

I do the same thing with "System of a Down," "Primus," or old Johny Cash, depending on what kind of bad mood I'm in..
I always thought a bluegrass cover of "Shook me all night long" would be fun. Love "Back in Black..." Peace.)

They have many layers, and that makes them interesting. Ya know I wouldn't worry about anybody else...I think as long as we're not jumpin' on each other, anything is fair game ~ and anyone who does is not an adult and shouldn't be bothered with anyway. I think if we wanted to be on the 6th grade playground, then we'd park ourselves there...lol...as tiring as it can be sometimes to "notice" the bickering, we'd truly lose a great source of info and inspiration if you left.
Be well,

Raymond, you'd be missed by myself if you completely left. I was not able to find any other blogs by you after searching the net, so any thoughts you share I read here. I don't even mind if you rile things up a bit... you know, I made a post lamenting all the bad vibes going on over religious posts, then I deleted it... I haven't even seen the offensive posts, to be honest. I'm with you, reading in peace is cool, and you can comment or not if you see something that makes you think. Anyway, I enjoy reading about your life, and getting a picture of your philosophy when you write about your thoughts. -Chris
Stay please

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I've learned much from reading your blog. I don't know you well enough to see what kinds of "shakin up" you do but I've seen what goes on elsewhere. I've read nothing that would or should be considered offensive. You're always curteous enough to forwarn if you post something kids maybe shouldn't be reading, you're honest yet polite about it. Ogre??? I agree with the Shrek comment. Layers. Troll - definately NOT, you're not silent. You may read posts and not comment every time, but all of us do that. I consider a Troll one who just reads what others write and if they do coment, it's nasty and hurtful. From what I've seen, you don't appear to be out to hurt someone.
Sorry to go on, but people belittling and being spiteful really urk me. Please stay, if only to share your experiences. I very much enjoy reading and learning. Maybe you should write a book.
