Coffee anyone ?

lol i can understand that feeling. uh four out of five are either having allergies are have a mild cold. not feeling well today two cranky toddlers and cracky parents lol poor lucy she the only the feels fine.

mlrning all. its monday here which means its a school day. i nees to run out and go milk. start breakfast and the school will began. probably a long day of reveiw before we start our new books. (add to the fact we didnt do schoold friday or saturday like we suppose to ). tomorrow is the day that my goats go. i am still torn about it butlimited choice and its the better one for them and us. we been looking at houses and there alot more in our price range that are nicer without having to have two acres so thats something to think about.

Sometimes the bigger decisions are what to give up and what the gains will be. Give up goats-gain your own home. Even on a small lot you can have a few chickens and a garden. I did that for years at our previous home. You get nothing back in rent, but paying for your own home means that someday you can sell it, apply that money for a down payment, buy the house with 2 acres and have goats again. Now go house shopping!

lol been doing that lol my husband bigest reserve on moving the last several years has been hisngrandparents want to leave him their house with some land and he saw moving as a waste however since the mobile has only gotten worse and turned into a money pit he game. we have had the ac fixed i want to say twice this year and multiple times before that to were its pretty much a new unit, the the electrical pole need to be fixed, three maybe upto five water leaks. inside outlits werent working. another outside outlit on the pole wasnt wprking. the windows will have to be replaced or temporary resealed. the outside siding and trim need to be done, the masterbath shower has a busted pipe that needs fixing but same time the entire shower need to be replaced... i could keep going. its been crazy with trying to repair only to turn around and something else breaks and we dont own the house and its poissble we wont nothing written in stone so makes it hard to decide what to fix and what to leave. so i feel its better this way.

You got your priorities straight.

Nothing says you can't go to the grandparent's house when the time comes and sell the one you buy now. You can make money on the house you buy but like Bay said, you get nothing back from rent.

As for @greybeard , I don't think you will see too many postings from him anymore. There must have been some sort of a "dustup" on here, and something about some apologies and such.... he just dropped me a message that he probably would not be posting on here anymore. His health is okay, but his sister is fighting cancer, and other sister has had some serious health issues too. And with the cattle markets the way they are, is contemplating the move to west Texas where both he and his wife would prefer to go, but the possibility of not having cattle there now as it is alot of work for not being able to make even a fair price with them. Plus they need alot more land in west Texas, it is more "arid" , and he doesn't know if he really wants to do all that upkeep.
So he is well, all things considered, but is going in some other directions at this point.

Now I feel really guilty since it was my posting about my son buying his new (used) truck that Greybeard got upset about. And got several people upset with him. I actually missed a great deal of the conversation since I was not on BYH during that week (getting ready for a 4th July party) and was surprised with the responses when I came back. But I am probably responsible for the fuss in the first place with my post about DS2 buying his truck. I am surprised that Greybeard would decide to drop out of BYH over that though.

I, for one, will miss his postings and advice. He gave so freely of his time to help folks here and was, unfortunately, chastised for his occasional bluntness. It's a shame because he was a wealth of knowledge.

He could be amusing, he was incredibly knowledgeable, and certainly shared that knowledge willingly with others. I also enjoyed his postings (for the most part) but occasionally he was more than blunt and hurt feelings unnecessarily. Like frustratedearthmother though I will miss him and hope he will reconsider and come back.

Coffee is on. School and have a guy coming to look at the farm to see about the septic. Hopefully we'll get some riding this week. But have to mow as there's finally enough rain to make the grass grow.

You are up early! I'll take that coffee and thanks!

You don't have anything to feel guilty about. I am the one who called him out on his behavior. For him to leave over that is downright silly.
