LadyyTay:
I've been Tay to everyone who knows me, with the exception of some very stubborn family members (yep, mom and dad included) for the last 26 years. And I'm a lady.
Apparently, another Tay considers herself a lady, too...thus the extra y. lol

About riverbee:
ABOUT BEES:
“What is this dark hum among the roses?
I have found them-haven’t you?---
Stopped in the very cups of the flowers, their wings
a little tattered-so much flying about, to the hive,
then out into the world, then back, and perhaps dancing,
should the task be to be a scout-sweet, dancing bee.
I think there isn’t anything in this world I don’t admire.
bend close to study and
understand what is happening. It’s not hard, it’s in fact
As instructive as anything I have ever studied. Plus, too,
it’s love almost too fierce to endure, the bee
nuzzling like that into the blouse
of the rose. And the fragrance, and the honey, and of course
the sun, the purely pure sun, shining, all the while, over
all of us.”
---Mary Oliver
ABOUT RIVERS:
"It is those we live with and love and should know who elude us……now, nearly all those I loved and did not understand when I was young are gone, but I still reach out to them.
...Then in the arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the big Blackfoot river and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise.
Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters."
---Norman MacLean “A River Runs Through It”
LazyBkpr:
remember, you asked!
The first house I built for my wife, started out well. Foundation dug, poured, etc.. Sill plates down, floor, and walls went up.. Rafters put on, roof done, windows in.. all of these things, my wife saw DONE when she came home from work.. and then came the wiring, and plumbing, as well as the ducting for the heating and AC system.. She could no longer see anything being done, about ten days after I set the breaker panel in place and began running wires, she was in tears. REAL tears, and as angry as I have ever known her to be.. I was called a Lazy Ba$&^@% among many other things.. I packed up my stuff and left, notified the lawyer we were separated and I wanted papers drawn up for divorce.
In the meantime, the wife hired someone to finish the house.. He told her, the wiring was almost done, a weeks worth of work he didnt need to do.. She asked about the plumbing, he told her it was done, she asked about the ducting, it was all assembled and ready to hang, shouldnt take him more than a week to wrap up what had already been started.
Back then, Cell phones were big things rich people owned, so she ended up coming to the dealership I worked at, I asked her to leave.. she started a campaign of notes, flowers etc, all the things a guy might do to catch a girl.. I was quite annoyed, but eventually, i agreed to meet her for dinner. She took me to my favorite restaurant, McDonalds....
For the first time, the ONLY time, the LAST time, she said she was sorry, she was wrong..... I wish I could have a tape recorder back then....
I went back. Building her barn, the gun shop, the riding arena, etc, etc.. I would occasionally take a break, and she would inevitably ask if I had permission from the boss to take that break. I would say no, I'm just being a lazy Ba$#@&^, and we would laugh...
When she convinced me to get my own bees, she decided I wasnt a lazy ba$#&^% any more, now I could be a Lazy Beekeeper instead...
Someone else uses Lazy Beekeeper, so I shortened it up to LazyBkpr.
LogicalBee:
That is funny. It seems like home renovation or construction is about as stressful to a relationship as anything! I can’t even count how many people just about broke up over home renovation stuff. It never goes quickly, smoothly, or cheaply. :'(
