hmindy34 ... from my personal experience ... the only advice I can give is ... Don't leave him in 'the dark' (like my ex did). When he gets 'twitchy' or overwhelmed (I call it the 'rabbit hole') ... rub his back ... say nothing, ask nothing ... just rub his back. The woman that is now in my life...
You guys want to see some cool bear footage? Check out pbs.org ... Nature .... 'City of the Bears' ... and 'Fortress of the Bears'. I've lived in Alaska for over 20 years and I've had a few close bear encounters but the video these 2 dudes shot was absolutely amazing. Remember life is a gift we...
Oh my ... Wonderful photos of a place I may never visit in my lifetime. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I'm scots/irish decent and the hair always stands up whenever I hear the pipes or any Celtic music (it's in me blood) I'm aware this was taken in Wales but that whole Island region...
Right-on CraftyCath .... I haven't seen open water in months. My canoe is buried in 3 feet of snow. Soon spring will shine and this old hippie will be back dancing on the waters. Thanks for the photos.
I'm a recluse Loloma ... but living out here has a mega plus. I have 'combat' PTSD from my tour in Vietnam and I have very little military fly overs (war planes, helicopters) and Alaska has very few 'thunderstorms' that reminds me of B52 bombing strikes.
I get around that 'stuff' and I'm...
Thank you Loloma on the cabin compliment ... I call her "The SHIRE" and it gets pretty busy in the summertime with folks/friends that do come to Alaska. Fact is I just had another visitor ... if their not eating my shrubs ... their chasing me around the cabin. The critters up here can get pretty...
Thanks Jimmy for the INTEL & support. So far I've been receiving Positive & Negative response from the 'system'.
The 'system' put me out to pasture 11 years ago ... guess I just got dropped thru the 'cracks'. This too shall pass.
Take care amigo.
CathyCath ... Atenborough's voice is so sophisticated. We're blessed to have such a fine narrator. Yellowstone is my second home next to Alaska. I'll post a few pictures of my journeys. Sorry I don't have a VISA to travel out of country (USA) ... I have a list of people that want my cabin, my...
Percentages don't mean shit .... I'm 100% .... and the VA dropped me thru the 'cracks' years ago. I now have no medical, no money. hell of a promise that they never kept. Honor? .... man, it's a corporation ran by 'draft dodgers' like GWB, Cheney, Gingrich.
I was married once for 27 years and my wife tossed me to the curb after I was diagnosed. If you truly care about your 'soul mate' ... stick it out. As for me ... I spend my days & nights alone in the dark. This too shall pass.
Welcome home Fran ... As I can relate to 'combat/high tempo operations' ... all I can say (for me) is it really won't go away. Thunderstorms, fireworks ... are just a few of my issues.
These intrusions need to be channeled.
Avoid places, sights & sounds ... and surround yourself in a...
Indeed I do live in Alaska (20 years) ... I spent the last two winters in Montana fly fishing the 'blue ribbon' rivers (Yellowstone, Madison). This year I'm staying home ... and it's the first Christmas Eve I've spent alone. Amazing how my cabin/SHIRE has visitors/friends when the salmon are in...
CraftyCath ... the bird in question is called a Common Loon. If you haven't heard its call/wail ... please search on the NET ... you'll be glad you did. I wait each season for them to migrate back up to Alaska.
May peace be with you always~
