Piggly For Sale

The people (from our church) who bought Piggly are not able to pay for the feed they owe us it is over $200.00, we have feed Piggly for 5 months, almost 6.   We understand that at things happen and we are not mad.  But this does put us in a pickle.  We now have to find a buyer for 1/2 of him or just sell him whole.  We do not have the room for two whole pig in our freezers.  Nor do we want to spend a thousand dollars for the feeding of two pigs and for the cut and wrap for them.

This is the last time we are going to offer a feed animal to anyone.  Not to be rude or mean it is just that we do not need to get stuck with this again.  Times are hard for everyone but we still need to be responsible for our actions.

Piggly is for sale.

Kristi's Dr. visit from ****

We just got home from Kristi's latest Dr. appt.  She had her 3rd pulmonary test and to see the Dr. after the test.   The testing went well, the woman was very nice.  After we went into the room for the Dr. to go over the results with us. 

When we got to the Dr.'s I gave them a packet of her testing results pulmonary, allergy , blood and her steroid medicine dates, and a nice letter telling the Dr. that this child has never had a panic attack in her life.

So the Dr. comes in I ask him if he would please listen to her history and read about it. He said he went over her history last visit.  I said no both my husband and I tried to tell him but he said he did not want to hear it you only trust your testing.  I said also she has never had a panic attack.  He said he never said she did.  I said yes you did and it upset Kristi.   He said I only said it was common for girls her age to have them  Then he asked Kristi did I ever say you had them?  Kristi looked at him dead on and said yes you stated I have panic attacks!  The Dr. said he is done and will not see her.  I said I paid for this visit you will do your job .    The Dr. left the room and said she will have to see another Dr.

The office manager came in I told her we need another Dr. this one will not do his job.  I said all we wanted to do is have her Dr. listen to her medical history and to see the results of the testing HE had to have done before he saw her.  I also told her about how he says she has panic attacks , then said he never said it.  How it was rude of him to hold an imaginary pill bottle in one had and pretend to take a pill , because he did not believe that she was on steroid medicine.

We waited for the new Dr. and what a blessing he was.  He asked about her medical history , asked Kristi many questions.  He listened to her. He asked me questions and listened.  He then tried to figure out what her burning in her lungs is.  So he asked many questions about our / her diet.  He was shocked at what she eats.  What does she / we  eat?  We grow our own meat except chicken we buy organic chicken.  We eat from our garden or buy organic.  My husband catches fresh deep sea fish and also hunts for meat.  We can our own food.  We do not eat a high processed diet.  She does not drink a lot of cola maybe 2 cans a week or less.  She also has acupuncture weekly or bi-weekly.

But he did say she does not need to see a heart Dr.   She can travel and live a normal life.  She has asthma but don't let it hold her back unless it is an issues at the moment.  She is old enough to tell if it is bothering her.  Kristi is in hog heaven!  I am happy also.

Why did they do this ?

I live in California.  My husband Shannon saw a news clip last week that made us all wonder why??  There was a builder who ran out of money building 16 homes.  He had no way of finishing them ( they were almost done all the way 95%) , no way of paying the mortgage on these 16 homes, no way to sell these 16 homes.

Guess what the bank did??  You will not believe this they bulldozed the 16 homes!  They could have sold them as is to people at a lower cost. The people who bought them could have finished the homes.  But no they just bulldozed them!   That is so sad.  The home could have gave some families a fresh start.

Poor daddy and a update on bio dad

Yesterday over at mom and dads for a bbq, mom and I were talking and daddy walked and nd looked at us with a look of is it safe to come in.  Mom and I started laughing because we remembered what I did to daddy years ago.....

I am very close to my mom, very close.  I can ask her anything.   So one day I called her with a female question.  Daddy answered the phone I asked him if I could talk to mom?  He said you always call and ask for mom why can't I ask him??  So I did.  I asked daddy the female question I had.  Mom said he was bright red and just handed her the phone .   Poor daddy, it was just a yeast infection question, but it was too much for him.  Know when I call with a question for mom no matter what it is he gives her the phone.    You would think having me and my sister and being married to a woman he could handle a few female things, but noooo.

Update on my bio dad:  he is doing ok, he is still not able to keep food down and other things.  We are going to see him in  few days.  Thank you for all the prayers.

God Bless, mj

Dad dying # 2

Last night I had a dream that my dad went home with the Lord this morning.  I have been calling his house with no answer as of yet.  I am not ready for this.  I knew it would happen one day , but many years from now.   Hubby Shannon told me I am thinking to much.  I am told that all the time by so many different people.  Annie my acupuncturist always tells me to stop thinking.  But now it is a list of what need to be done before we drive to Las Vegas, what food to take , medicine, wash the two dogs that are going, show my mom how to care for the animals left at home , to have the ranch sitter (Shayna's boyfriend) feed the animals right and to make sure pony is feed right after his  colicing a few days ago, and so much more. I almost (ok I do) want to take my mom and dad with me to help figure it all out.

I probably just confused you all.  My dad who is dying is my biological dad, he was not in my life to much.  We have done better in the past 10 plus years.  I have a step dad that I got when I was 12 years old. To me he is my daddy.   

Know I kind of regret telling my bio dad (father) 20 some years ago when he came back in my life to be a dad to me " I do not need a dad I already have one but I can use a friend and we can see where we go".  I was 20 and he was not a part of my life for most of my child hood, seeing him once a year if I was lucky.   But it was true and I did feel that way.  Now I feel blessed to have two dads. 

I am off to make a long list of everything that needs done, God Bless, mj

My dad is dying

I got a call today from my dad telling me he is dying.  His liver has stopped working.  He has had treatments in the hospital , they say he is not going to around much longer and sent him home.  He told me what he final wishes are and about going about it all.  What to do about his house , it is a rental , his 3 storage units.  What is hard is his music.  He has 3 movie contracts out for him to write the songs for them.  He has a lot  of songs he has wrote over this lifetime.  A lot of them are being remade in the U.K and here.  Dad wants his music to live on.

But most of all it is him not being here anymore.  All of my grandparents have gone home with the lord.  He will be my 1st parent.    We are going to drive out and see him  in the next few days.  We have to get one dog in a kennel and some one to feed the ranch animals.  My mom will watch the 4 dogs left at home and the 4 cats.  I am taking 2 dogs with me.  We have 7 dogs.   At times like this I see the trouble having so many animals is.  But the love they give is worth it.  What am I going to do??

I have much to think on.  God Bless, mj

What a night

What a night.  Hubby Shannon and I had a nice date night all planned out.  We had on the ice seats for the Ducks game Stanley cup play offs. The game started good in the second period the girls call and tell us Pony is colicing!  We rush home , load up Pony take him to the hospital.  The vet did his stuff said he should be ok, take him home and watch him.  The vet also gave us a shot to help him relax if he needed it, he did at 1am.   We went and checked on again a bi9t ago and he is doing well.  Hubby was wonderful and a great help all night.  What a blessing he is.  I thank God for him daily.  I will write more latter I am going to take a nap.

Bible , Wonder Whys

Why do I have to swear on

the Bible in

court when the Ten

Commandments

cannot be displayed

outside?

Why is it that our children

can't read a

Bible in school, but they can

in prison?

Good Questions.

Advice needed

I am in need of some of advice.  We have a family in our church home schooling who bought a feeder pig from our adopted daughters mom. We also bought one.  This families pig was delivered to our ranch(as they do not have land) , ours stayed at our adopted daughters moms house, she just could not be caught for delivery or to be picked up.  The family has paid on $30.00 for feed of this said pig and a $100.00 to buy the pig. The family agreed to pay for all of the pigs feed. We have feed this pig from the end of December and still are feeding the pig. They have not paid anymore on his feed and will not respond to the e-mails about paying for the feed, the bill is over $250.00.  We have sent an e-mail asking for it to be paid by 5-6-09 or we will refund them what they paid  for the purchase and 2 weeks of feed.  In the amount of $130.00.  We will then just slaughter the pig.  We already have our feeder pig being cut and wrapped at this time. 

Are we wrong?   Please give us some advice.  The family responded to one e-mail saying they want the pig and will contact us a few weeks ago, but they never contacted us nor stated they will pay for the feed. We have feed the pig for almost 5 months and paid for its feed,help

Out of the mouths of Babies

I love the cute silly things babies and children say.  Here are a few from our grand babies and others.

Jeffie saw our cat Tigger and yelled "there is pecker wad".  Was my face red  that is what I call Tigger when he throws dishes to break them on purpose!

Jeffie a while back told us he is a pirate and he is going to marry a wench!

Maddie is such a cute little one.  Kristi was taking a shower with Maddie 2 weeks ago ( Maddie 2 yrs). Maddie looked at Kristi and said you have parts like my mommy!

My sister-in-law told me that last week her 12 yr old son told her she weighed 200 lbs!  She is not close to 200 lbs.  I asked her "you let him live??"

Out of the mouth of babies!!
