we do not allow trees to grow above roof level
When you live in the woods, you don't really have a choice.we do not allow trees to grow above roof level
can't you cut down old trees in your area and plant new ones?
There are miles of trees so no, we can't cut down all the dead ones. We try to cut the ones we see that may fall on the house but then you have a random tree that falls on another tree and causes a domino effect. Or one of our neighbors' trees falls and takes out a couple of our cars like what happened during Hurricane Irene several years ago .
good luck KatieI just finished my video interview with WVU Medicine. I think (hope!) I did pretty well.
Now I wait
Walmart has it for pickup. So we are gonna go pick it up with our grocery order, probably Thursday.
its cool i suppose that she will alert me to stuff thats not right in the apartment but its just not fair when part of its her fault for distracting me.i keep hearing its burnt! in her meows
The critters need places to live too. There is an oak growing too close to my property line. The tree looks wild so it might not last. It's growing from where there was an old propane tank sitting from the old house that was on there. I'm pretty sure DH cut it down a couple times when he used to help the old lady with her yard work. So it's all suckers and shoots. There isn't one real trunk to it yet. I'm pretty sure it was "planted" by a local squirrel. 
Thank you!! <3I've spent a lot of time finding people who are more healthy and are able to hold space for me to process, share, and recognize me like I do for me. Most have been through similar things and we get each other on a different level than someone who hasn't been through similar. Years ago when I first starting opening up and sharing things about myself, so many invalidated, minimized, and even said maybe my perception was wrong and things weren't really like that. It really hurt, especially because these were people I supported when they needed support and understanding. But it led me on my journey to find people who care as genuinely about me as I do for them. That started about 6 years ago, and I've finally found some people in the last couple of years, both online and off, that I can now call very good, supportive friends and feel like we both put effort in to support each other.
It may seem lucky, although I like to think of it more as continuing to work on myself, putting in boundaries, and working to cultivate relationships that are showing healthy patterns of relating and communicating. It gets easier for me to spot not as healthy behavior sooner, and allows me to pull back from these people.I wish I could spot this ahead of time. It hurts too much to invest that much in friendships and then be abandoned. Or maybe I can learn not to care, not to let it hurt me, like sort of put up a wall? I don't know. I just know I have to do something different. People are so disappointing. The worst is when they say "You could get out if you really wanted to." It's really expensive to change your life. I have to make sure that I can provide for Demi & Maggie before I make my great escape. I can't leave for something worse.
Maybe almost halfway done.
