WOW so many different stories & adventures.

I think I am pretty boring compared to most of you but here goes -

Given birth to 4 gorgeous children, all natural, drug free births & survived having them all within 5yrs (AHHH the nappies)

HOW DID YOU SURVIVE?? Seriously... sometimes I feel like just the 3 in 5 years is doing my head in as much as I love them to bits :p

LOL the funny part is I would do all that again in preference to homeschooling them, so much easier dealing with 4 little kids than 4 preteen - teenage kids day in day out & trying to be mum & teacher all at once. But as you say "I love them to bits" & I wouldn't have it any other way.
 
I've got an infraction, but I can't say why, or I'll get another one.

Good on you for homeschooling though; how does that work out for you? I've wondered about it a bit myself.
 
Lol, couldn't you just walk around the tree? Every time a horse has chased me, I find the nearest tree and walk around it, it can't get you, lol.

This was a completely wild (in both senses of the word) stallion. He was large and clearly intending to kill me. I have no idea why.

I have sidestepped buffalo around a tree but being 4 meters up this tree was vastly superior to being at ground level. Believe me.

A mate of mine got owned by a big stallion badly, he had to get rescued by a troopy. He went back and shot every brown horse he could see lol.

I shaved my beard. Now maybe I should be known as 'The Artist Formerly Known As Beard'.

The only problem was that my beard and chest hair meet up, so I didn't know where to stop shaving( I don't have the gold chain to mark the end point) so I began shaving my chest and once I started I had to continue, had to be symetrical. A shaved chest and hairy abdomen just looked silly, so, I had to keep going. Again, the appearence of a hair free upper half and a 'manly' lower region was something to be seen, so the 'frank and beans' had to become sans hair.

Have you ever seen a hairless man but he has retained the hairy legs???

They needed to be cleaned up too.

So, here I am, beardless and smooth bodied, well the front half anyway.

























This may or may not be true.
