Hi, I've been here for a while, first just reading, then joined.

Sorry, I've never introduced myself!

Same as "about me" in my Profile:

 I am firstly a lover of all animals...

I own a small collection of a variety of smaller exotic animals. Reptiles, Amphibians and a Tarantula.

I travel throughout my community and teach young and old about these misunderstood animals.

I also have 2 beautiful cats, and one very large thoroughbred horse.

And one son who moved out last year, a couple thousand miles away for his job. Miss him!

My kittens / cats one year now, are Short Hair Exotics a.k.a. Persians with short hair. One is 1/2 Himalayan, the other is pure Persian. 

My horse is a son of Northern Dancer, the only Canadian horse that has ever won the Kentucky Derby, years ago.

I show him in Dressage. 

We used to do jumping, until my knee finally gave out from a few falls from years of riding.

So, I am a crazy cat / snake / horse lady, with a slight limp.

In my spare time, I do Graphic Design, in business since 1993. Well before the "Internet" & and Digital everything!

Still learning to keep up with the ever growing technology!

I also enjoy hiking, trail biking, fishing (catch & release only), sailing and scuba diving in the Caribbean (when I have enough $$ left over from my OP monthly bill and saving for my retirement). Less every year!

I also used to spend 2 months every year in my family's Condo in Mexico, and also a few weeks driving around the Southwest... California, Arizona & Utah. I have this crazy addiction to the Desert. I hope to retire there someday...

However, the older I get, the more I work, and the less I vacation!

I also now am the designated caregiver to my elderly parents. I am the only child that still lives close to them. They are older & cannot drive anymore, and still live in their own home. I take them shopping, to the doctor, mow their lawn, etc., etc. Thankfully, they are still young at heart, and relatively healthy for being in their '80's. Cross fingers ! !

 
Welcome Suew99, 

looks like you've already are well on your way to become part of this community.

I too was a caregiver to both of my parents and was with them both till the end. I held my moms hand as she passed over and was with my dad as he did too. It's a very difficult job particularly if there is Alzheimer's or dementia involved and I salute your selfless giving of your self.

welcome!

 
Hi Suew

That's a nice introduction. I like knowing our members beyond what IOP they prefer. I already had you figured for a cat lady, but a horse with a famous father is very cool, and so are the other critters. I always jump at the chance to hold a snake or baby alligator or anything that's offered up. Would like to trade with you as far as the desert is concerned, I have learned to appreciate it's stark beauty, but I miss trees.

I agree with way2old and salute you and all caregivers, it's not easy.

Thank You very much for your reply.

My Parents have changed 180 degrees in the past couple years. Dementia... old age.

Hard, when they resent you for stuff you do to help out.

I think they're sincerely pissed too, as that they realize that their bodies are shutting down.

I don't seriously know how I will deal w/ it, when the time comes!

I'm happy you're O.K., I hope you are...

Thanks for the nice Hello!

O.K. Why don't we trade for one year... you can have custody of my 'critters, my backyard trees, some biggies! And I'll soak in the desert. I'll send my parents to my MIA sister.

Ever see the slightly abstract S.W. paintings by Ed Mell ? They are all over my office, I stare at them especially in the wintertime. To me, nothing better than a summer sunset in the desert, no wind, so quiet, & the sky, even the air, seems to glow... dream...

Take care,

suew

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  5. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP

  9. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
