Was a long day, but it was a good day. Good enough anyways.

So just sitting here thinking why the hell am I so stubborn? Its not like its ever proved to be beneficial to me to be stubborn.

Culling roosters isn't that fun. Even though one of them was a dickhead that bit, and started crowing every 30 minutes starting at 3:00 am this morning up until about the time I slit his throat.

Dad used to kill chickens in the backyard. We didn't raise them, he'd buy like 30 of them and chop their heads off with a hatchet and toss them into a 50 gal drum. He missed a lot.

Got the dog once. Dumb bitch Terrier stuck her head up between his legs from behind as he was cleaving one. Just about took her snout clean off. Vet bill cost way more than he saved butchering those chickens that year. Surprised that dog lived through it.

My ducks hated that rooster. I was chasing him around the yard and let him get away. That duck chased him all around the yard by herself. It was a sight to see! The ducks generally walk away from me when I'm in the yard. While I was culling the first rooster, both ducks we right behind me, and the second rooster a few feet behind the ducks. The hens were as far away as possible. For both roosters, when I laid them in the yard to get the head all the way off, that one fucking duck was right next to me and would start chomping on the legs as soon as I laid them down in the grass. I'd push the duck off and it'd do a barrel roll in the grass, then be right up and start rooting around under the wing. Happened for both birds. Craziest thing I've ever seen.

I could actually tell which was the alpha rooster because his comb has bruises on it from the one duck taking his ass to town and biting him all the time.

Nature of the Beast - Don't fight your nature.
Adapt and improvise if you can't overcome.

[Irving]

Maybe you could be stubborn about your willingness to adapt and listen and change if it's the right thing for the situation. Then you don't have to fight your nature of being stubborn.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Perhaps evaluate the emotion causing your "stubbornness" ….., and then logically assess the reason why your mind is allowing it to happen.

Then ask yourself "Is it worth it?". Many times it's just better to let stuff go when it honestly doesn't really matter...just a thought on it.

I'm stubborn about everything but mostly the dentist. Needed to head in late last Friday but refuse to pay bs after hours / weekend rates. Pain hits in waves up to about 6 so I'm holding out till tomorrow.

Obc that's some pretty insightful thoughts

[OtterbatHellcat]

I hate going to the dentist my friend. Have since I was a kid and it will never get better, but I do know that the lady doing my work is top notch and the hygienists are also top notch.

I had a cavity filling drilled out and replaced about a month ago, and I seriously lock up and hold my breath waiting for the pain while the drill is in the tooth, or the crown process is underway...but they do shit right. Seems I'd rather get into a car wreck than sit in that chair.

If you'd like some contact info for some very caring and professional dental folks, I'd be happy to help.
