and I can not wait till dinner tonight sounds wonderful........
I love "You've got a friend" What a great idea! I vote yes
I'm more than happy to help braid onions and sort garlic........I love doing this stuff.
I was wondering if any one would mind if I brought a couple of baby goats to stay for a bit in the spring......I promise to keep them out of the garden and they could help keep the weeds down.......I just love baby goats.......they are so cute...and you never know what they will do next.........I also promise to keep them from jumping on the table outside while we are eating.....they love to do those type of things while playing.
Would you mind if I visit your room from time to time KW? It sounds grand!

InTheDharma, you're more than welcome to bring your goats here... there are no "no"s remember....?
I love goat's milk and goat's cheese, so maybe we might get that eventually....
highly intelligent and playful, goats are.....and they can help pul the sledge when we go wood-gathering next winter.....
If you do the garlic, don't braid the heads too close to one another. It causes them to sprout prematurely. Keeps the air circulating. I might put some garlic heads in the smoker, for smoked garlic. And I'll prepare some of my famous garlic puree....
I've roasted fresh tsampa too, there's plenty in the cupboard, and there's freshly-made ghee in the fridge.
Yes yes, the whole point of getting the goats is for milk and cheese but thought it would be best to raise them from babies so they will be gentle and loving. I don't mind doing the milking when they are older....If you want to help me make cheese that would be great!
I know to be careful when braiding so that there is good air flow but I appreciate the reminder.........I noticed I had a few to close together..... thanks
I've brought some thread to help plait the onions and garlic - I find it helps with two - one to hold the end and the other one to twist so someone grab the other end with me and we'll get going.
Debs - you are welcome in my room any time, as is everyone else, and the goats .......... just don't touch the sewing machine .... it has a life of its own and tends to go a bit berserk.
And the wolves are kind ........ be nice to them and they will be nice to you. They are not a threat to the goats if you speak kindly to them.
Hey .......... I saved all the apple peel from the deer apples - would the goats like them?
Look... I'll be there as soon as I can... I'm just putting the finishing touches on a large pot of Turkey Soup, then I'll bring it over and we can all tuck in...
In the meantime here's a little "You've got a Friend" for your listening pleasure while you wait...
Ah - in tears now - never fails ........... come on - dry my eyes and help me serve up the soup ............ blubbing ... did I tell you about one of my loves? Did I? Oh come and sit.
He was lovely. Guitarist. Used to play this ... and we sang... oh how nice it was to be young and lovely.
Oh my! I don't even know where to start. First, let me give you a gentle hug Knitwitch, my dear weeping friend. I'll dry your tears in a moment but first I'll let you enjoy them for a bit. Sweet sentimentalist. You are still young and lovely, you know.
And I agree with the song choice of "You've got a Friend". That's a great one. When I was in Wales I listened to my James Taylor Greatest Hits tape all the time. Love him.
Jer,
I can listen to Janis' version of "Summertime" over and over for an eternity. And I'll be blubbering right along with you when you put on "Who Wants to Live Forever" and "The Show Must Go On". Freddie Mercury was, in my humble opinion, the real King. The greatest showman that ever lived with the voice of all the heavenly hosts put together. It still burns my heart to think how under appreciated he was when he was alive. But I guess that's the common fate of the artistic genius; always one step ahead of everyone else.
And I've seen "Shaun of the Dead" 6 times! Hilarious movie!!
I'll bring my guitar too. I'd love to get in on the session if I may. I know a few Scottish Gaelic tunes if anyone's interested or we could do an acoustic version of "Freebird". I can play "Stairway..." too but I've never tried "Layla". Can anyone play that baby grand in the Lounge? This could get interesting.
Reading the descriptions of your bedrooms has got to be the most fun I've had in days and days. I can't even tell you how fascinating and totally enjoyable it is to hear all of your incredible ideas. It's so fun it actually feels like a guilty pleasure. Fantasy design is absolutely my number one favourite kind of entertainment in the world. I'm going to think about how I want my room for a little while so I can really milk the enjoyment out of it and then I'll tell you all about it.
You guys chose the most wonderful animals! I LOVE goats, Deb! In fact, I have a large, framed, brown charcoal drawing of a billy goat hanging on the wall right over my bed. It's big, about 4 feet across and 3 feet high, and was done by a great friend of my grandfather's.
Our neighbors down the way have goats (and lots of babies were born last spring) and my folks always slow down to a crawl when driving past so we can have a long look at them when they're out in the pasture. We ADORE goats! My dad had a billy goat when he was a kid. Kid...get it?
And the wolves! I don't think you could have chosen better companions, Knitwitch. I haven't been able to stop thinking about wolves since I was a teenager. I adore them so. Do you think I might be able to come have a quiet look? I'll try my very best not to disturb or do anything stupid. I can so easily see you with 2 or 3 wolves around you. It's such a perfect fit. Now there's an animal I would dearly love to talk with during that hour between Christmas Eve and Day. Can you imagine actually being able to talk to wolves? Can you imagine? (That's probably quite a silly question when it comes to some of you...:))
You know, I'm really floored by all of our shared sensibilities. I like to live as solitary a life as possible but I could live very, very happily with all of you. Especially because I can't cook.
Come right on in Boo - the wolves would love to meet you.
(whispering ... and if you listen very carefully and sit very still, you never know, you might find that you can converse with them just as well as I can .... they are THOSE sort of wolves)
I too am a lover of wolves. My cousin in Canada actually had one (pure white). Just loved the scene in Dances With Wolves with the wolf "Two Socks", they are just so majestic.

Just as long as they don't poop in the kitchen.
Wolf poop really stinks. :crazy:
But wolves poop in the woods, don't they? Or is that bears...
Actually I love wolves. Once someone with a pet wolf (a big one!) came to the temple to visit, and I took it on a walk around the stupa. Or I should say he took me for a walk around the stupa! He seemed to know exactly which way to go and and after 3 circumambulations, he headed away. Must have done it before.
Well, wolves were my totem in a previous life. Probably an old friend...
Boo, I cannot wait to hear all about your room.....How exciting! I had fun reading all the bedroom ideas too...For that matter I've had a great time reading this whole thread....I hope we keep it going cause I can't wait till spring with everything to do we will be so busy.......Putting in the garden etc...
We had a neighbor a few years ago that had a hybrid wolf. I think that is how you say it. It was a cross between a Malamute sp? and a wolf. He was sooooo gorgeous! His name was Mika and he really was a sweet guy. They had taught him great manners so he was very well behaved. I had read that you can not trust a hybrid not to turn wild but I don't know if this is true. I felt bad that his mother was being held in captivity. The neighbors here still talk about him on occasion. He was an Awesome dog!
I think to be accurate I should say that my cousin's one was also a Malamute/Wolf hybrid. There was this security company that bred these hybrids as security dogs, and with this particular animal, nothing they did to her would make her vicious. She simply refused to be mean, so the company sold her to my cousin, and she was a real love.

Inthe Dharma, how's things going down with your doggies....?
They are doing fine.....They all seem to be healthy and happy. They love the cold weather....I don't.
I only have one female who doesn't seem to be able to get along with other females. I have moved her in with a male that is bigger than she is and she is doing better with him. She is the dominate one of course but if she gets in a mood and jumps him she can't hurt him at least. Not sure what to do about her bad behavior. I didn't get her until she was 5 years old. She and her sister have been raised together and she was always very dominate over her sister who I don't think has had a very nice life being treated so ugly but this female. I removed the quiet female and sent her to live with a dear friend and she is very happy now and has a wonderful home. But I still have this female here with her bad attitude. Everyone else seems to be living in harmony for the most part...But not Susie......Bless her heart..
More info than you wanted? lol got any thoughts? I could use a bit of advice on her. I'm thinking about finding her a home where she will be the only pet. Don't know if that is the best solution or not.
This house looks like a gigantic mansion on a 40-acre lot. Its front porch sports a well-worn and well-swept welcome mat that says "Welcome!" in 30 languages, only half of which are derived from the Indo-European. It's a sunny spring day and there's about a dozen people chatting amicably around the front porch.
The Foyer is immense with mahogany bannisters. I haven't gotten much beyond the borders of this foyer, due to being greeted by so many interesting and delightful people. I hope soon to venture further into this well-kept, well-appointed house. But before I do I will remind myself that I'm just a visitor with no claims on anything. As such, I will strive always to be courteous and pleasant.
What other way should a guest at a party behave? I'll try to keep myself from getting drunk.
Buddhist forum or not, we expect everyone regardless to adhere to the 'conventional' and socially acceptable rules of interaction:
Courtesy, respect, politeness and dignity.
Everyone has a right to express their views, and everyone has a right to those views to begin with.
It is essential that we all afford each other the space and compassion to say what we need to say....
Sounds like a good plan for any guest.

I like the sound of Nirvana's house, but since this is an opportunity to live where we want, I have us all lounging around Frank Lloyd Wright's "Falling Water" house. There is thick oatmeal coloured broadloom on the floor, pale tan walls, and contemporary but very comfortable furniture. One wall is all windows, and another is cut stone, with a fireplace that we light when it is chilly. We can listen to the sound of the creek running under the house, but sometimes we don black turtleneck sweaters (with corduroy blazers for the men - black tights for the women), pour ourselves martinis or gin and tonics, and listen to Hubert Laws on the hi-fi.
There is no need for conversation. We are too cool for that
and besides, we all know how the others think.....
I have only got as far as the lounge..
as soon as I saw those huge leather armchairs and the roaring fire I was pulled in. Then I saw the walls..all those books, shelves and shelves of well thumbed dusty books. I walked along trailing my fingers along the spines until I found 'the hunting of the Snark' and with a grin of recognition I took it down.
I walked across to the table and poured tea into the delicate china cup and nibbled on a oatmeal cookie from the plate.
I was lured back to the log fire and settled myself down , a dog curled up on the mat wagged his tail and rested his head on my feet.
I must have read for hours and maybe dozed off because when I looked up you had all wandered in and gathered around. People were perching on chair arms and kneeled up on the mat, we talked and laughed and drank hot soup from mugs until dark.
Well..I suppose tomorrow I had better look around the rest of the house :rolleyes:but I will just finish my book first..:winkc:

The dog! the dog is grizzled! (I don't know about his owner - he could be a cute young guy for all we know.....)
What a beautiful place we have here. Don't forget the dogs, we've only had one. There lots of intelligent lovely dogs dozing around and we're infested with not rats but sweet little guinea-pigs. Well for my bedroom how shall I start...
The room is imence, the domed ceiling is impossibly high and there is a huge oak tree growing from the middle of the room to the ceiling. Rabbits that I'm not allergic to hop around the room and a few deer nibble at the grass floor. There is a swimming pool at the back and a nice little pond too. My tropical fish swim about in the warm pond and my budgie soars through the huge space, free from her cage atlast! My two rabbits mix with the others and my Molly dog sleeps on the bed as she loved to. She has an endless amount of coffee, meat and chocolate at her disposal, but no calories so she stays perfectly healthy, her treats are now her meals! A family of red squirrels leap around a pine tree that's just outside the window. On warm days I open it and birds fly in and out to there hearts content. In spring we have some grey squirrels visit and we might get a nest of chicks. Our house also has a nice house pig and a small herd of sheep in the garden. Mountain hares hop across the lawn all the time. One of my walls is glass and you can see incredibly far. For winter there is a large open fire that the rabbits and Molly curl up in front off. I have a rug that is so incredibly comfortable you wouldn't imagine. Sometimes I meditate on it or read a book. One wall is a huge TV with all the best movies ever built into in. The other two walls are made of books, all the best books ever written and it has a constant hum of calming music does my room. The bed is a huge four poster thing that is so cosy you fall asleep the second you touch it. You have to be dragged out with force in the morning... Cinnamon candles burn calmly and fresh flowers are all around and wild flowers grow in abundance.
Love & Peace
Joe

Joe - shove over - we're all moving in with you......
What a damn fine, and incredibly cool room!
Tell you what, as you've just moved in, I'm giving you one of those huge, egg-shaped hanging chairs for you to suspend from a branch of your oak tree, so that you can pick any book you want from your incredible library, climb into your egg-chair, and read it in peace and quiet to your heart's content.
We normally have intercoms in the room, to call one another to meals, but I think I'll just make it sound like a wind-chime, so that it doesn't disturb the perfect peace - but you'll still know chow's up and it's hot on the table!!

Thanks alot fede and Boo Thanks for the egg chair too, I think I might add a swing while I'm at it
Say, do you two like apple pie?
Love & Peace
Joe
P.S. You'll get a signed copy Boo I gave up on my last one but I'm writing another one that's more mature and I've puposely weaving a bit of everything into it. It's about a multicultural, multireligious family that get into odd situations Comedy/romance/horror/fantasy/ski-fi sort of thing
L'n'P,
I must join the ladies and say you have quite the imagination. Do you like writing stories? You may have a knack for it! If not, do what you enjoy and do it well.

I gave up my novel too. It was my first. Nothing I was writing felt honest so I put it away. I have a feeling you'll be freer in your writing than I am, probably because of your age as well as your open personality.
You've got me thinking though...maybe I should try again....hmmm....
You should definitely wright a book Boo You read a lot of books so you'll be good. You'll have lots of inspiration. When you write a book if you get bored, the reader will. I've only ever read two books that I didn't enjoy. The same best-selling author. Sometimes a book starts off boring but improves, I kept reading, they didn't improve. I recently read a book that I enjoyed but it was poorly written. That's what made me realise I needed to write a book all ages would enjoy reading. And if you have a good mixture of stuff it's an all round good book You should definitely get into writing another. Mine is called The Secret Book Uncovering Secrets the Universe Never Wanted Us to Discover
What was your's called? Mine's about lots of stuff that us ignorant humans were totally unaware of. I've moved our species arrogance down because alot of humans believe we are the most deadly, intelligent, powerful creatures on the planet ofwhich is the only inhabited one in the universe. I believe in other inhabited planets but people don't.... Anyway, those people were very wrong, it goes by the rule; if you think your more something than anything else, it's only true if you trick another species into thinking that LOL It's a bit quirky but mainly imagination LOL
Peace, Joe
You should read a book called "Letters from the Earth" by Mark Twain. You'd like it. He refused to let it be published until after his death, which should give you a clue.

How's you honey?
My honey is doing well. Cancer free and that is truly all that matters.
Thanks for asking.
Want to have a cup of tea and sit and chat for a bit?
SO good to see you!!
It's so fantastic to hear your husband's doing well. Blessings to you both and to your whole family.
I brought some flowers from the greenhouse up to your room. Fragrant flowers so your room will smell sweet, as sweet as you.
Blessings to you and your family also.

The room is imence, the domed ceiling is impossibly high and there is a huge oak tree growing from the middle of the room to the ceiling. Rabbits that I'm not allergic to hop around the room and a few deer nibble at the grass floor. There is a swimming pool at the back and a nice little pond too. My tropical fish swim about in the warm pond and my budgie soars through the huge space, free from her cage atlast! My two rabbits mix with the others and my Molly dog sleeps on the bed as she loved to. She has an endless amount of coffee, meat and chocolate at her disposal, but no calories so she stays perfectly healthy, her treats are now her meals! A family of red squirrels leap around a pine tree that's just outside the window. On warm days I open it and birds fly in and out to there hearts content. In spring we have some grey squirrels visit and we might get a nest of chicks. Our house also has a nice house pig and a small herd of sheep in the garden. Mountain hares hop across the lawn all the time. One of my walls is glass and you can see incredibly far. For winter there is a large open fire that the rabbits and Molly curl up in front off. I have a rug that is so incredibly comfortable you wouldn't imagine. Sometimes I meditate on it or read a book. One wall is a huge TV with all the best movies ever built into in. The other two walls are made of books, all the best books ever written and it has a constant hum of calming music does my room. The bed is a huge four poster thing that is so cosy you fall asleep the second you touch it. You have to be dragged out with force in the morning... Cinnamon candles burn calmly and fresh flowers are all around and wild flowers grow in abundance.

What a damn fine, and incredibly cool room!
Tell you what, as you've just moved in, I'm giving you one of those huge, egg-shaped hanging chairs for you to suspend from a branch of your oak tree, so that you can pick any book you want from your incredible library, climb into your egg-chair, and read it in peace and quiet to your heart's content.
We normally have intercoms in the room, to call one another to meals, but I think I'll just make it sound like a wind-chime, so that it doesn't disturb the perfect peace - but you'll still know chow's up and it's hot on the table!!
Let me know when your novel comes out.
Say, do you two like apple pie?
Love & Peace
Joe
P.S. You'll get a signed copy Boo
I must join the ladies and say you have quite the imagination. Do you like writing stories? You may have a knack for it! If not, do what you enjoy and do it well.

Jerbear, I love writing stories, as I say I'm writing one
You've got me thinking though...maybe I should try again....hmmm....
The Secret Book
Uncovering Secrets the Universe Never Wanted Us to Discover
What was your's called? Mine's about lots of stuff that us ignorant humans were totally unaware of. I've moved our species arrogance down because alot of humans believe we are the most deadly, intelligent, powerful creatures on the planet ofwhich is the only inhabited one in the universe. I believe in other inhabited planets but people don't.... Anyway, those people were very wrong, it goes by the rule; if you think your more something than anything else, it's only true if you trick another species into thinking that LOL It's a bit quirky but mainly imagination LOL
Peace, Joe
You should read a book called "Letters from the Earth" by Mark Twain. You'd like it. He refused to let it be published until after his death, which should give you a clue.
