It is all part of the human condition. All of biology fights. All of biology lives off the death of others (Joseph Campbell). Robert Sawyer likes to point out how the bonobos don't fight so much-lol? So we are really in our infancy of introspection which is what you are doing. Knowing you, I am sure it is their fault, and you cannot be responsible for others failings. You are a reasonable nice person. My ex was a reasonable nice person. I like reasonable nice people-lol. As well, I really think we are all crazier than we know-lol! I really don't understand most of it? It is like people taking offense if you say something against someone they like. Like dumb kids getting mad over mama jokes. I love Bernie Sanders and Elizabeath Warren, but I would never take it personally if someone said horrible things about them. I would blame the source as stupid or mean or something, but it would not affect me personally. I have read 25% of all people in the last 10,000 years died in war. So we have a mean irrational side to all of us. So we all need to be careful. Good luck-lol! PS I didn't talk to my extreme right wing neighbors for 30 years. When Obama was elected they had a sign on their front yard that said: pray for our nation. Real kooks. They just moved thank god.

My tree house where I fee the birds and squirrels. I had an idea for your chickens-lol. How about two oblong boxes. Put the chickens in one over land you want them to feed and poop on and then when they have finished, put the second box next to it with a door and push the chickens from one box to the next. I am sure you have a better method, but I had to mention it. You could systematically fertilizer your whole yard that way. Then plant pot-lol.

abuelita- when you posted this message i was going to reply that maryann is crazed. i knew it after her second personal email to me a couple of years ago. nothing's changed since then. howsomever... i didn't want to assume you were talking about her until you confirmed it. she has an intelligent sense of humour and wit but it's misused and corrupted by her ignorant, assumed sense of persecution. trying to fix things like that with crazed peeps is counter-productive even if you're trying to help her... you're going to be resented. it's a lose-lose situation... the best you could do to placate her would still be a lose-win (where you lose and she wins). if you try that, you'll still be under her manipulation and we'll put you in the whine cellar for two daze. ignore (do not react) to her offensive behaviour. it would be like replying to a troll (think longnshort). they exist as a balance to our charitable and generous impulses. there's still goodness in them. just acknowledge it and let them be. i learned a new word today when i was reading about esophageal cancer on wikipedia... ...enjoy her distally, as i do sarah palin. i'm sorry she lives on your furry street. four across two down albinoblacksheep.com i know you know this and i'm not trying to preach. i'm posting this just in case longnshort comes by in lurking mode. -lep86
