The Pain Of The Loss
Today will be a good day. I think I forgot to introuduce this fella. This is Thor. A young buck from 2008 who fathered Finn and Jacob. And you can tell I’m a goat weirdo because I’m letting a stinky buck come in for cuddles.

ood goat times today. Lovely sunny morning. Later on the clouds came flowing in, and I ended up walking home in very cold rain. But before that I had the goat times with the goats. We got out to a little nook that we hadn’t visited before. Still on the playground grounds. A little bit of vegetation for the ladies to gnaw on. There is not much left. Only 3 months till spring….
I wanted to do a little photoshoot with just Mia, so I put Mio into their stall with a bucket of food to keep her happy. Proceeded to take the pictures. Until Mio I heard Mio trying to knock the door down. That’s how you can tell when the bucket is empty. The goat tries to knock the door down. When the rain started falling we sat out in shelter in the goat pen for a while. Like the other day, it wasn’t hard rain. But very cold. Just 3 months…

politics. don’t, just dont
.

.

“We should have a contest as to which of the Networks, plus CNN and not including Fox, is the most dishonest, corrupt and/or distorted in its political coverage of your favorite President (me). They are all bad. Winner to receive the FAKE NEWS TROPHY!”
How can you respect a person like that? I guess you might laugh at it, since in this day and age hurting people on the other side (snowflakes or deplorables) is part of the goal of politics. It’s good to win, but it’s better if you can make life worse for the losers.
“Since the first day I took office, all you hear is the phony Democrat excuse for losing the election, Russia, Russia,Russia. Despite this I have the economy booming and have possibly done more than any 10 month President. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
These are actual words of an actual president. Have there been any other presidents that in their first year repeatedly stated that they were doing various things better than any other presidents ever had? It’s like you put a 4th grader on a throne. TWO SCOOPS.
“The last thing we need in Alabama and the U.S. Senate is a Schumer/Pelosi puppet who is WEAK on Crime, WEAK on the Border, Bad for our Military and our great Vets, Bad for our 2nd Amendment, AND WANTS TO RAISES TAXES TO THE SKY. Jones would be a disaster!”
AND I’M PRETTY SURE HE KILLS PUPPIES TOO. EXCEPT GAY PUPPIES WHOM HE FORCES TO GET MARRIED.
“Wow, even I didn’t realize we did so much. Wish the Fake News would report! Thank you.”
Wow, I can’t believe how great we are. Thank you for telling me how great we are, you make a lot of good points.
“FoxNews is MUCH more important in the United States than CNN, but outside of the U.S., CNN International is still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly. The outside world does not see the truth from them!”
I still can’t help wondering what would have happened if Obama had told people not to watch Fox News and that only CNN told the truth. It’s just bizarro world.
“Will be calling the President of Egypt in a short while to discuss the tragic terrorist attack, with so much loss of life. We have to get TOUGHER AND SMARTER than ever before, and we will. Need the WALL, need the BAN! God bless the people of Egypt.”
You know, when evil terrorists can no longer get into America they’ll have to step up their attacks on other countries. Or should every country just be walled in?
“Will be speaking to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey this morning about bringing peace to the mess that I inherited in the Middle East. I will get it all done, but what a mistake, in lives and dollars (6 trillion), to be there in the first place!”
Everything is everyone elses fault, especially Obama’s, but luckily I’m doing great and will fix everything. It will be so nice to have peace in the Middle East.
“ObamaCare premiums are going up, up, up, just as I have been predicting for two years. ObamaCare is OWNED by the Democrats, and it is a disaster. But do not worry. Even though the Dems want to Obstruct, we will Repeal & Replace right after Tax Cuts!”
You’re not predicting it, you’re causing it.
,
I could go on and on. And if Roy Moore gets elected I will. But Jesus H Christ reading his twitter is like a river of nonsense. DEMOCRATS BAD REPUBLICANS GOOD. Everything the previous administration was involved with sucks but luckily everything I’m doing is a giant success. Farts and lies in the wind. It’s like a parody account. It’s like someone 5 years ago went “I’ll make a twitter account to depict what someone like Donald Trump would be like as a president”.
“the NYC real estate mogul who farmers support. … the draft dodger who the military supports. … the morally bankrupt pussy grabber who Christians support”.
I. Just don’t understand.
This didn’t even make me sad, just incredulous.

I’m sorry to keep going on about the Trump but
don’t, just don’t
.

It’s not even about the poltiics. I mean there’s lots to dig into there, but it’s about the kind of man he is. I know that with my political views pretty much any republican president would do things I’d find problematic. But I can’t imagine anyone as horrible as Trump. Even if he switched all his politics to things I agreed with. Or if it had been Obama who acted like this. I would still be offended and saddened and horrified. It’s the lack of class. Compassion. Kindness. Pet. Lowest standard of common decency. Humility. He is just such an embarrasment. I understand why Republicans may have to vote for him, or others in his party. But I will never understand how anyone could think he is a good person. Just go to his twitter account and read down the timeline. Go to youtube and watch random clips. Even pro-Trump channels. Just listen to him. Is that the kind of person you’d want your kids to be? I just can’t understand it at all. I remember when I thought Bush was an embarrasment. All his goofs seem so sweet and quaint now. I’m sure he did political things I would object to, but I could understand people liking him if they agreed with him. He seems so sympathetic by today’s standards. There are many things about Hillary I wouldn’t be fond of. I really really don’t like Mike Pence, I am quite sure he’d do things that would greatly offend me. But even from him I’d expect some kind of baseline of decency and intelligence. He’d at least act like a grownup. Even if every single bad thing said about him is Fake News (which he totally invented and which every single bad thing said about him obviously is, and Time’s person of they year is my girlfriend you don’t know her she goes to another school no I can’t remember her phone number, I probably should have written it down). Even if. Just listen to him and read his words. That is not a good person. That is not a well person. That is not normal. There’s no way you’d be accepting of that kind of behaviour from Obama. And neither would I. Because it’s not right. It pushes me down that path of feeling like I don’t want to be a part of this world, because if that’s the kind of person that’s running this world and that people support then this is not a world for me. Maybe that’s why I care too much about the Roy Moore thing. If/when he wins then it’ll be another sign that this world is something I’d rather leave behind. It would be like if Harvey Weinstein got promoted and Louis CK got a lifelong sitcom deal. “Yeah, we know he harrassed women, but we’d rather have his show on than more Kardashians”. Yes. We all want less Kardashians. But you don’t reward sexual predators. And liars. And bigots. And corrupt nepotistic narcissistic… I shouldn’t use big words when I’m too agitated to spellcheck.
Okay. I’ll give it a rest for today. I also wanted to thank you all. Despite this little setback, I have actually been feeling a little better the last 4-5 days. Maybe Thanksgiving helped. Being mindful of what I have to be thankful for. And feeling people actually somehow being thankful for me and the goats. The support for my dad too (no news, hospital trip went well but it’ll be a few more days before we get results). It has meant a lot to me. And little successes in technical challenges lately. It’s been a few days since I felt like I was standing on the edge of a cliff and there was a toddler with a pair of stilts trying to push me off it. So that’s good. I’ll try to keep it going. Thank you for being the river that carries me onwards when I am stuck. Ever she flows.
The end.

i think it’s cute that in America you can’t sign up for healthcare on the weekends. It’s like a third world country where they have to turn off their servers when it’s dark out because they need the electricity for streetlamps.
I mean it’s almost like they want Obamacare to fail haha I wonder why that would be. But don’t worry. With all the tax cuts for the rich, all the millionaires will surely have time to volunteer at their local hospitals and ERs. And once there’s peace in the Middle East and terrorism stops because of tougher immigration there will be lots of money that can be transferred from military and security budgets to the healthcare system. What a wonderful utopia that lies ahead. I think I might go out and contract the plague just so I can experience the positivity of being cured from it. What could plausibly go wrong?

Well I for one am sure that Donald Trump put in a lot of time and effort to verify the veracity of those anti-Islamic videos he retweeted. Because it would be incredibly irresponsible if the president of the United States of America spread radical propaganda without doing anything to verify or contextualise them. Also it’d be pretty unpresidential if he gloated about Matt Lauer, and all the other things he’s actually doing. Thank heavens America has a responsible adult for president.

Today is the day of my mother’s hip replacement. She should be in recovery right now. Hopefully that will be going smoothly. My brother is actually also hospitalized. Ongoing infection problems with the dialysis stuff. So that’s not good. I hope he’ll be better soon. And we’re still waiting for the results of my dad’s biopsy. Meanwhile I am luckily only suffering the aftereffects of a class A social media meltdown. Positive thoughts for my family and all of yours.

On the bright side, I had series of wonderful dreams last night. Most of them are faded from memory now. One image remains. My brother had made spaghetti in our old house. And he’d made so much that the house was literally full of it. And I don’t mean full of pots and pans with spaghetti. I mean that the hallways were stuffed with spaghetti pretty much from floor to ceiling. It was like a pillow fort with spaghetti. Spaghetti everywhere. I wonder if that dream was inspired by the fact that I brought spaghetti to the goats yesterday? Someone.. Tanya? talked about giving them pasta. So I bought some to try. And the punchline is.. I forget to give it to them. Haha. Only remembered it when I was back home. Well, I’ll bring it another time. Luckily there are always plenty of treats in my bags and backpack.
Time to order junkfood and think positive thoughts. Thank you everyone so much for everything. Not the best of times, but we gotta keep trucking.

Nothing really new to report. My mother is doing fine, from what my dad says. Recovering nicely and may be able to come home tomorrow. My brother was not allowed to come home today as we’d hoped, but hopefully soon. Dad’s results should be in on the 6th.
Meanwhile, I should definitely get my hopes up about this Flynn thing, right? Check.
Also, to my Australian friends: It looks like Denmark and Australia will be facing off in the feetsball World Cup next summer. Let’s just collude to take the top spots and let France and Peru go home. Wait, I also have French friends. Hmm. This might be tricky.
Meanwhile here is me holding grownup Mia, 5 years and some months after the flashback picture from this morning where I was holding baby Mia. Time flies when your babies grow up.

“Kamala HarrisVerified account @SenKamalaHarris
3h3 hours ago
Something that has been quietly slipped into the Republican tax plan: a provision that lets oil and gas companies drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This is an attack on pristine lands that belong to the American people.”
.
Full disclosure: I have not fact checked this. It may be liberal snowflake lamestream fakenews. But I do believe that the Repurplicans are doing their best to get the tax plan through without anyone actually having time to look through it properly. So who knows what’s in there? Other than the parts about the rich getting richer etc, but that’s a given of course.
I just thought all my nature loving friends would like to add this to the list of coal in the rivers, shooting hibernating bears, being the only country not to sign the Paris thing etc and Donnie being the only recent president without a dog. How much do you care about abortion? Enough to ruin the Earth and animals, or just enough to accept the predators and molesters and corrupt etc? Do they have power in Puerrrto Riccco yet?
Ho hum. Maybe Mueller will find a way to reset the timelines and none of us will remember the unoficial version.

I know, I shouldn’t look at the news. But hey, I gotta keep refreshing to see if Flynn has released the pee tape.
Isn’t part of the tax reform meant to make filing taxes really easy for normal people? Like a simple form, a single sheet of paper? Maybe they shouldn’t be allowed to pass a reform that they can’t fit on a single piece of paper.

Oh by the way, while you guys were sleeping I passed a new reform that requires you all to pay for all my pizza, for the rest of my life. Please send me a PM with your payment details. I take paypal and bitcoin and also what’s a bitcoin? But anyway, I know I can afford all the pizza I can eat, but I still want you guys to pay for it. Also it’s now illegal to drive on the right side of the road. And the left side. Everyone has to drive in the middle of the road, no matter what direction you’re going. I scribbled that into the margins just before I finished signing it.
This has been a dramatic re-enactment of TAXPOCALYPSE2017. This time it’s personal… Income tax hike.

As you may know, the concept of a seasonal holiday chocolate calendar is to eat one piece of chocolate every day until it’s seasonal holday eve. And you’re probably wondering, how is that going? Well, thank you for asking. I can assure you that your local Lasse representative is totally living up to the terms and conditions of this trade. Please do not worry about your personal Lasse’s ability to live up to the requirements set forth in the EULA. We would like to assure you that any missing pieces of chocolates can be blamed on the previous administration, vis a vis inflation and the rise of crypto currency. Would you also like to have a look at these heavily discounted smoke and mirrors in our online retail facility? Why, I don’t even remember what we were talking about, it probably wasn’t chocolate or how many of the daily allotted number of which have already been consumed. By reading this statement you agree to give up all your legal, moral and fiscal rights in concern to all matters dealt with in the prior notice of which you have been served, have a nice day.

This is what happens in the lamestream snowflake fakenews media when they lie or get things wrong. It has consequences because they actually care about right and wrong. Meanwhile on the other side, eh alternative facts whatevs I saw it on the internet so it must be true.
It’s the same thing with the sexual predators. The Hollywood elite snowflakes that get exposed lose jobs and awards and organizations. The politicians, eh I’d rather vote for a molester than a Democrat and, eh he asked for their mother’s permission and, eh locker room talk.

Good to hear your Mom came thru surgery alright. Hope she is home soon and continues to improve each day.
Sorry to hear your brother is in the hospital. We will keep him in our thoughts. Same with your Dad. The waiting for test results is hard.
We had a sad event last week on Thanksgiving. John Boy had passed away in his sleep. He would have been 13 years old on his next birthday in February. He was a good boy and we miss him.
He is buried in the same area as our other goat, Frankie. I like to think Frankie was waiting for John Boy to show him all the green pastures and cool water for him to enjoy. Maybe Yogi was there, too and all our other goat friends.
December 8th, 2017 at 14:55
I am so sorry to hear about John Boy. It’s so hard to lose them. I remember when Frankie passed too. So hard, for us silly humans. I am glad he had a good, long life with you though. And now he can play freely with all our other lost boys and girls. I hope to see them all again. I miss them.
At least my family news are better now. My father’s tumour was bening, my mother is recovering well and my brother is recovering well. Hopefully things will be going better.
December 9th, 2017 at 4:38
Thank you, Lasse. I knew you, better than anyone else would know how my husband and I felt about dear, sweet John Boy. I wanted him to stay with us forever. We never have enough time with them.
Good news to hear about your family. I hope everyone continues to keep getting better. Does your Dad have to have anything done then?
December 10th, 2017 at 22:34
I know the pain all too well. Hits hard every time. Are you planning to get any new goats at some point or?
I don’t think my dad needs anymore done about this thing. Hopefully the transplant can happen next year now.
