Moving on.

I am sorry to all my friends that have had trouble getting on this blog today. I have had some trouble with it that I needed to sort through. I have said some things that have hurt some people on this blog. I have never meant that and I apologize to them for thinking I did. That is not what this blog is about to me. I have enjoyed sharing my life and looking into other people's lives that share the love of ranching and some that have nothing to do with ranching. The modern day penpals I guess you could say. It sure is easy to forget while typing away on a keyboard that lots of people can read what you are writing and take it anyway they choose. I would have never in a million years thought someone was reading this blog day after day looking between the lines for something that might possibly be taken out of context. But it has come to my attention that is the case. It has taken something I was proud of and turned it dirty. I allowed myself to sink to a low level yesterday when I posted a small paragraph directed at someone who knew it was for them. I will not let venomous people bully me or control my behavior anymore. I know I should be the better person. I plan to continue posting here and know that I am coming from a good place in my heart and that I am not intending to be hurtful. So I will leave this post with one of my other favorite sayings,
"If you walk into a corral full of horses thinking your going to get kicked, you probably will."

Brandie, there are always people who seek to find fault with others, and who take things personally. These folks are so centered in themselves that they can't see the beauty that surrounds them; don't let their negativity get you down! I enjoy reading your blog, even if I don't always comment. It's fun to see California from your eyes, and I'm rooting for Jeremy to heal fully and continue to train horses. Keep up the good work!

Amen from me! Shirley said it just right. Don't stop your blog on account of somebody being a booger. You are honest about your life and I can see that in the way you write. Sometimes people, like myself, who speak honestly of what and who we are have been known to say the wrong things or say it the wrong way. Those who know us and love us will know our intentions and either get over it or if it's important will confront us. Not to hurt, but to build us up and correct us for the good.
So that being said, DON"T STOP BLOGGING!!!

Nobody was trying to bully you. Somebody was simply trying to warn you. Regardless of your heart, laws are laws. Naked children on the internet is child pornography. Children for sale on the internet is considered exploitation. Neutering without a license is illegal. This is a public forum. Anyone can see this and their intentions may not be so innocent. There is no need to take anything out of context or read between the lines. You say it in plain English. I doubt anyone reads day after day. Somethings just jump out as not propper material for the whole world to see. Listen to Acton Buff's second to last line and believe it.

Neutering anything w/o a license is illegal? (?) really? hmmm. So no calf castrating pics? I know someone who just posted pig castration. Interesting.
I learn something new every day.
