Smokey had issues with porn and left me for an anorexic drug addict, covered in tattoos with fake boobs. I think she was his "fantasy" come to life.
AND, more importantly...Our Rooster was named Hamlet...we had a hen named Kate Middleton, one named Pippa and another rooster named George...sadly...all but Kate were eaten by Foxes this past spring.
I wonder if they helped keep the snakes out of the flower bed? We have big problems now with lots and lots of snakes.

Most don't even make it past the first three days, then 80% end up as soup.
Only the best make it long term, and of those, some die protecting their flock.
We've had a lot of snakes, some surprise me in the nest boxes. But that was before I had roosters.
I am comfortable handling snakes, and the last one I grabbed behind the head, took him down the hill, and chucked him into the woods. (I had an audience for this, so of course it was quite dramatic. This was a very large black rat snake.)
He never came back after that experience, and he had been a regular visitor in search of fresh eggs.
But yeah, come to think of it, we always had lots of rat snakes, corn snakes, garter snakes. I haven't seen any in a few years. Maybe that did coincide with getting Bart on duty!
Beatrice, I'm going for noonday chores (late). I'll let Poe he has a fan. I wish I could post a picture!

Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
I realized we were no longer getting statements from our one credit card and I KNEW something was up with that.
I know I shouldn't have looked---but I just couldn't take it, the sneakiness...
So I found a six month subscription to "Our Time" dating site for singles over 50.
It took me five minutes to find his profile.
It is full of lies, about his age, first off. He shaved off five years.
Then the profile. UGH!
I actually had to laugh.
He paints himself as this great romantic, looking for a: "serious relationship" and then--goes into detail about how "romantic and sensual" he is, how he likes women with "daddy issues--hahaha!" (Are you friggin kidding me?) How he's so warm and tender.... WTF?
"With the right partner I like to slow down and take the time to appreciate them.." Really?
"With the right person I am very affectionate, touching, caressing, kissing...." and then, disgustingly, goes into descriptions of ORAL SEX, bound to get him lots of hits from quality women!!!!!
I guess I wasn't the right person!
He says: "I laugh easily...." NOT!!!
This is NOT the man I've known, and he is not capable of sustaining a real relationship.
Oh well. I guess he'll find that our for himself! It's actually really sad.
He has appropriated "our" life as his own. "I have a donkey, goats... " like some woman is EVER going to come to this house and see them???
What got me is "I have become considerably more romantic as I've gotten older...." I guess he means with Ho-worker....????
I'm not really upset by this---I figure he's lonely and clearly he's looking for something.
But excuse me while I go vomit....

Yep, he's in fantasy land w/the rest of them. Speaking language of the opposite, mirror self. After the initial shock of finding stuff like this, you really do have to shake your head and find the humor in all of it.
It's really very sad to see them like this.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
I think I need to use a stronger word: just pathetic. GG clearly he is not growing up at all...and hiding like a child. SO glad YOU know you don't need him or his pathetic antics....yep there's that word again. Right here for you

Really, you're not upset by that? I would be... Rather, I am upset. I'm having a hard time distancing myself and finding humor in my H's MLC, so in a way, I admire you, GoatGal. Keep on keeping on.
To piggyback what Job said here, I also think that H is trying to recapture some of the youthful vigor by presenting himself as a strong male that's also sensitive. Sort of like the Bert and Poe show!
Yup, sad indeed.
I remember watching a funny episode of Reba where her XH Brock had signed up for an online chat with a big-ass Texas sized screen name and Reba came across it from her house. She thought to herself, 'what a cute and handsome moniker'. Then they started to chat. Eventually Reba figured out that the guy was her XH Brock and she started stringing him up with silly comments until Brock caught on to her tricks. So funny!
Just a thought, GGG! Oh my...aren't I evil at the moment?!
