Yeah. I've been kind of obsessed with time traveling DeLoreans lately.... and the whole journal thing (other people's & mine.) kind of makes me nostalgic but wondering what things will be like in the future. Hence the new title. I consider this journal my DeLorean. The below link will take you to my previous journal if you go at 88mph:

My old journal

For those who read that one, I have lost my Firework. I took a break from fish for awhile after that, and gave away my remaining fish. Feeding and caring for the others was just... too hard. It made me miss her more, because she was more than any other fish I've had. So fiesty, such a show-off, and ready to jump and bite my finger off every morning. She cared more about the interaction than she did the pellet. At the risk of sounding crazy, every time I was upset or crying she would refuse to eat.
All my others just ate the dang pellet. No antics, no angry little flares. No love.



Crying? Um, no... I just cut up an onion. I do that sporadically through the day... never know when you'll need a chopped up onion.

For those who didn't read that journal, here's what you can expect. I write about more than my fish, so be prepared to hear about anything from science fiction to the latest antics of my kids that strongly resemble wild-indian boys. Although sometimes they're cops. This morning they were Buffalo Bill Jr. I have no idea who that is, but apparently he takes sled rides on a blanket in his underwear, wears swimming goggles and a construction hat, and shoots bad guys with a nerf gun so we don't have to hang 'em.
Yeah, Looney Tunes violence is the least of my worries.

Another thing. I don't have internet at my house, and I only get on about once a week. But I may feel like writing something before that, so I write it and date it. So you may see several entries posted on the same day, but not from the same day...

I'm a coffee addict. Evidence of this may spill over into my posts.

All right, I know y'all have had enough of goat pics, but I am on the kick so I actually found some of my previous buck. (cries in memory)

GOOD news- I called the people I got him from and they have one that is closely related. :D My dad is going to buy him (my goat bug bit him) so of course he's going to let me use him. They also have does available, and I will get my choice.
I am so excited, I think I might pee. Hmmm... cancel out the might. 8)
:D Here's one of them:


Anyway, here was Shemu'el, below, he was one of my best buddies. Sorry for the poor quality pics, but this is like eleven or more years ago. LOL. My camera then was duct taped together. It's a miracle they turned out this good.

Well, my family won't admit it. So, I say sort-of.

(I counted all the Boers once ((BEFORE they before they had babies LOL)) and there were close to 250. *sigh* Our herd could sustain my entire family (Aunts, Uncles, Cousins...) for 5 years or more. :p

Oh my goodness!!! They must have a lot of acres... I can't imagine having that many. I would assume they don't name them all... haha.

And yeah... they need to admit they're obsessed. There's no shame in it. It's not like they've collected two thousand porcelain cats dressed up as clowns. ;) That would be little weird. But goats? That's just cool.

LOL. Each un-fixed goat has a collar of a different color/pattern. They also have small bells, so that when needed, the vet can locate them easy. XD In the picture above, all the goats are coming in for the vet. I don't think you can see any in that pic... Or maybe that was after the un-fixed were caught LOL. That looks like about 100 of the herd, so maybe. Their collars range from pastel pink/yellow with black pattern, to black with pastel pink/yellow pattern.

Yes I have anxiety, mostly social anxiety, but I've been suffering with some depression. My daughter is only 16 months old ^^ and don't worry about being nosey! I like having people to talk to it helps :)

Those goats are lovely! I might seem a little... Gruff but if I'm hungry unless the little creatures are specifically pets, they might just be on the menu. Lol I hunt and fish, but have also kept native species as pets ( bunnies, racoon's, squirrels, native fish). My favorite happen to be the little green sunfish if you raise them from a small size they develop HUGE personalities. My original boy lived something like 3 years ( before my brothers cat unplugged his air pump on a hot day -_-) and he grew up with one of my current goldfish. This little guy would splash me at night to remind me it was time to buy another bunch of minnows. He bit anybody except me who put their hands close enough to the water and always said hi when I came home :)

If you have a male and female kiro be prepared for THOUSANDS of babies. Also check your laws on them. I had 3 spawns and didn't know what I was doing so they died but they look like clouds in your water lol

XD Don't worry, Mystic. They're illegal to bring "into ND". That doesn't mean we can't get them from ND. :p We will then most likely release any surviving babies back to the original lake.

I personally want Kirio to just get two or three males LOL.
