Aside from the events of the last few days and the amazing love shown by the III community for one of our brothers, this month has monumentally sucked. I went 47 years with only one wreck. I was in two in 10 days. I totaled Poppy's pickup (not my fault) and then just about totaled the Momvan (again not my fault). I trusted someone and got burned, badly, which hurt my folks more than it hurt me. And was informed I have one year to get a job or start a business because the spouse is done working. He's "worked 20 years, it's my turn to stay home and eat bonbons" (I've never had a bonbon in my life.) So I'm juggling a business proposal for a laundromat (nearest is 34 miles away) or a job as Communications Officer for TXDOT in Paris (should know in a couple of weeks.) Now as bad as that sounds, either would suit me and I've actually found a rockin' little place in commuting distance to Paris. Six and a half acres with a bass stocked spring-fed pond and a mature pecan grove. House is old, but solid, and a bargain at $72K. Or the laundromat, with a business loan, could bring in enough to cover bills and I could still take care of the chicks. Thinking of calling it Dirty Duds (done dirt cheap). Okay, I think I just pep-talked myself out of a funk. Go me!
I guess my point is, as long as you're still in the air, you still have time to figure out how to land.

Angel, that property looks just about perfect!!

I know, right? I'd be having to chase the cute chicks out of the pond all the time. But place for chickens and a couple of pigs. Nice garden. The house is a little rough, but it's liveable and I've got skills.
ReplyDeleteHey, you're looking for something like we are! I want space for horses, a steer, a few pigs, maybe some rabbits, chickens, a few cats for the mice control and a BIG dog of some sort. I'm not afraid of work either, so we are hoping to find something with potential and space for a decent price and fixing it up and adding onto it. I've always been a country girl, but living in city exile for the last decade with periodic escapes to the country for my sanity.
ReplyDeleteRight now we are shortlisting a couple of states to do that, and I'm looking into different areas in those states and trying to gather info on them and it's exciting and a wee bit intimidating at the same time.
If you get that one and the cute chicks are in the pond, please post pics! I know it'll be adorable!!!

Looks nice. The pond seems crystal clear to my eyes.
ReplyDeleteOw. Am I reading this right? $2,830 taxes per year on $72,000?
ReplyDeleteWorked 20 years and he's done? Not even going to type what I'm thinking right now because it aint pretty.
ReplyDeleteAngel, you remember our emails about the concept of manliness...? Yeah, that. >:(
ReplyDeleteTell that little bitch that I've been working my balls off for 33 years and I ain't nowhere near done. So he may as well admit that he's nothing but a lazy, self-absorbed, good-for-nothing piece of crap, bow out of your life gracefully and make room for a MAN.
I'm sure there are quite a few quality men willing to take his place, and--unlike him--they won't be using up your tampons.
What the hell is a bonbon?
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh baby.
ReplyDeleteI could really go off on your spousal unit.
I am not going to insult you over his...... decision to ......
quit providing for his family. (Biting my tongue)
It wouldn't be fair to you.
However, let me be perfectly clear and you can tell him I said this,
no man I know would put himself in front of his families needs first.
Not one.
You can put up with that bullshit if you want, it's your choice but I would be making that lazy motherfuckers life a living Hell if it were me.
Just my .02 darlin', I'm not trying to be a dick here, I am just a little stunned and very upset that you are not being treated right.
I just can't imagine it!
I have to stop now because I am really getting pissed.
You can ban me now, I'm done.
Best of luck and I hope you find something that makes you happy.
Wow, men in Texas are real m.....
ReplyDeleteNever mind.
fitty
Ditto what Phil sez.
ReplyDeleteAnd you haven't dumped that sorry, lazy, bastard yet?
Sheesh.

Dear Angel, it seems January has been a bad month for all of us.
ReplyDeleteTransmission is shot in my truck. Got $80 bucks in my pocket and that is it, can't afford a new tranny. I was riding to work with a guy but work slowed down to the point that I had to be transferred to a different shop, so now I got no way to work.
Wife's car got repossessed, she wasn't working as many hours as she needed and couldn't make the payment on it any longer.
Speaking of the wife, she's fixing to leave me. She says it's because we have been fighting a lot lately, but she's also been spending a lot of time on her cellphone lately texting a "friend".
Yeah, I'll soon be homeless, jobless and alone. I agree with you: Fuck January.
hey girl your man loose his testicles or did he turn into one of those metrosexual pussies
ReplyDeleteWords don't even begin to express...
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your situation, but I wanted your readers to know that not all Texas men are like that.
