Life is SugarSnap Peas

I'm sitting here eating a bowl of microwaved sugarsnap peas and realize that this is like my life with BP. Life is offered to me in a square frozen lump ;and I can or can not add electrical juice. If my microwave is working that day, I get a hot tastey treat. If it's not; I get the frozen lump. Plus ,there are all sort of degrees of power. Some days you get cool peas because you were only on half power. That can nourish you enough to keep you going, but without enjoyment.But NEVER, NEVER do you get the same previledge of having the taste of fresh, crunchey peas that is experienced by the "NORMAL" world. Yours are always a bit soggey. Tell me what analogy your life is like.

I always picture my life,as a beautifuly decorated room.The walls are painted a warm color.The sofas are deep and comfy.There are sented candles. art on the walls...all is lovely ,just perfect......but I can't find the light switch ,to turn on the lamps,so that I can find my way around or see the lovely room.I know it's there,I bump into things,I know it's all around me.....I just can't find the comfy sofa to sit and rest in.I can't see the fab art ,hanging on the walls.I know it's all there...just a simple lamp to switch on....and it would all be revealed to me.

I have a sick cow that currently provides acurate pictures of my life several time a day all over the place

Thomas....your cow gives extra milk?LOL!!

Cow pats...that's a good one.
Walking along ,minding your own business,and suddenly you're ankle deep in poop.
On the record..I like the smell of cow pats....not a whole herds worth...just a little barnyard smell.

Dancigirl-loved yours. In fact I had a dream like that once.. But I got the feeling that Thomas was talking about the other end of his cow? Which was it or is it both ends.?

Reminds me of the song...."were on the road to nowhere" Talking Heads.

I don't think cows can puke...so it's the milk(which ain't so bad) or the poops...which seems to be the logical conclusion....yep...cow pats...stepping in a cow pat ...innocently walking along...~~~~SQUEESCH~~~~ankle deep...yep....that sounds like a BP moment to me.

Your kidding. All Mother Earth's creatures got to puke! I guess it is true that dogs eat grass to puke; and cows eat grass, but don't. There is something very deep in all that; but I'm drained from my origional effort. Someone else will that to pick up that torch and run with it.

I'm still waiting. Come on someone tell me what your life is like! A hot fudge sundae or a warm, flat beer?

Horses cannot puke.

My life is like my job. Pretty much I get paid exorbitant fees to drive around and scoop cat litter pans all day. And most people use that horrible clumping shit. So there I am, digging around for the "prize" while fluffy stands there and laughs and immediately goes and pees in it again the second I'm done. The pee doesn't clump immediately so you get your scooper all nasty trying to scoop half-consolidated pee. I am a slave to cat poo. It never changes, you can scoop and scoop and there's always more.

mine is like being the owner of a beautiful and immaculate magic box which has been immaculatley made and coated in rich deep red silk. Sometimes - I lose the key to this box but on the rare chances I have to open it there is all the necessary things I need to understand how amazing life is. Most of the time - it is locked without the key...but sometimes the rare glimpses mean everything.

    Walk a Day

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
