Just in case y’all have been wondering where I’ve been and just what I’ve been up to lately since I haven’t posted much, here’s the skinny:

My long-time partner flew the coop and I’ve been managing the sites, ranch, critters, and everything else on my own. Long story short, the Farm Wars Truly Organic Cookbook will be released shortly, and available for sale on this site and a newly created site in which I will be selling the Farm Wars Truly Organic Cookbook, The Old Fart’s Survival Manual, and the Stable Mates line of stuffed toys for the kids, handmade by yours truly. Gotta do something to keep the critters in feed!

Here is the new site in the making. The links aren’t up yet, and the products page is not running, but you can see the gist of what I am doing. I count on your support in the future, and your understanding for the present. Thank you for being there for Farm Wars, me, and the Pardners gang ;) ~Barb

    Holy Frejoli Steve your story just woke me up !! I had no idea I know a crank whore and your story just illustrated this aquaintances life !! My husband turned on her when I them and he chased her off the farm, literally. I was clueless to the reason.
    Looking back, she probably was plying her trade and hubby was being protective and awesome as usual. That story she lived in the following years echos your tail. She married hubbies best friend, mated with straingers during their maraage , was ragged and old by 24, dumped 2 lying brats from a earlier tryst on him. Got them back after she served the jail sentence. Wow, Steve, you have taught me a new word. Fortunately Hubbys buddy isn’t the violent type and she left him for a yellow car and a senior citizen. I think she feels shame because she acts like she doesn’t know me when we see each other. Now I get it, the old man was giving her drugs ! Her real hubby wanted to settle down in the suburbs and weed the garden!! Wow, better stick with innocent little farm girls..next time.

    There are not many real farmers left anymore.
    Those people that will take care of the created planet.
    Those people that will take care of their close family.
    Those people that care about their community and their nation.
    These are attributes of a by-gone era.
    Everything now is based upon globalism and inter-racial breeding.

    Every decadent empire falls because of it’s own decadence.
    However, The righteous always prevail and will rebuild. The Sodomites and all the perverse people will cease to exist.

    It seems like the creator God has to always start over with some
    good seed. Moral of my story. God is a farmer. If you want a
    good crop, you need to plant some good seed. You cannot expect
    to get a good crop if you plant the seeds of tares.

  4. Thanks to my Farm Wars family so much for the support! You guys are the best ;)

    Celebrate new beginnings for many times they we get shoved into them in an unpleasant way, but for some reason it turns out to be just what we needed. When you shared I am not sure you expected so many comments but Barb, thank you and look forward to the results of creativity at work. Best to you and the critters too.

    Great to hear and see you have landed back on your feet as us hip cats always do. Looking forward to the book too. I was in the hospital for three days in early September, then exactly a month later my car had the same fate in the shop! All better now. Whatever we can do to help each other stay or get naturally healthy is worth it — so we can keep fighting the good fight to spread the love. Thanks for keeping the flame alive, and abundant hugs / wishes / healing prayers for the holiday season and beyond!

    Barb, I married a coke whore with two kids. We went out for 10 months. I spent $17,000 in ten months just drinking. The previous ten years I might have spend less than that. In those ten months I broke up fights between her mother, sister and other whores. I beat up her first husband like real bad, but when someone tells you they beat them up and then they throw stones in your face. You tend to take it out on their face. Then confronted another guy and smacked him upside the head. Almost got into 10 0ther fights with guys. Caught her having sex with two guys. SHe walked out of the bar three times with other men while we were married. She stole $20,000 before she left. I said we’re done. You are not going out with a dozen guys and then coming back to me. I got a girlfriend for about six weeks and she couldn’t find anyone to take her out to get a burger. We got back together and I moved into another place increasing my bills by double. As Summer turned into Fall she started acting like she wanted to get back out there. She comes home about the middle of December and say a hustler magazine and didn’t say anything. She stayed out all night long and comes home the next morning about 7 am. I said whoever you slept with go back to him, but I should never allowed hr to take the kids. About 10 months later she steals $15,000 out of the mailbox. She got hooked up with an alcoholic Mexican and they took my money and blew it on cocaine. Buying for a large crowd and they were the life of the party. It caused me to file bankruptcy. She drops my son off one day and the Mexican had him crying ,because he got on him about something. When he walked into the house I said what is wrong and he said Sonny was getting on him. She hauled ass and I jumped in the truck and was going to stomp his brains out and lost it on a turn and totaled the truck. You don’t want to drive when you are going after someone to kill them. Did you go through anguish? I left out her husband I beat up. He waited 52 weeks to press charges. When the papers came in I said call your daughter in I want to get the story straight. She said I don’t want to get her mad with you. SHe said I’ll handle everything. She didn’t do anything. I said if that kid lies on that stand and I get convicted. I said don’t bring her on the property. She lied I got convicted and she drops this 11 year old girl off with me. She like putting kids in danger. I appealed the case. We went over the story. I said now we’re going to do this again. If she lies again and gets me convicted. You better not bring that bitch back on the property. She lied again by lying and then started crying and the judge let her go. So I got convicted again and she still leaves me alone with this kid. Now what if I decided while she was showering to pull the curtain back and say Audrey we’re going to take a shower together. Many people would say woman you are one stupid person. This guy told you twice if she lies don’t bring her on his property and you did it twice. It was at this time her oldest daughter was 12. She got a call from a girl to go out on a date with a guy. She knew I would not approve of that. So they jumped in the van so I wouldn’t be able to stop her. So did you say you had a problem marriage? I’m betting yours didn’t have quit this much drama. So when the smoke cleared. She had stolen $35,000 and she always claimed the dependents and would get back the $6,500 I would have to pay in. I got convicted of battery and spent $5,000 more in court. When she came home that morning I said to get out. SO she would drop the kids off at her sister’s house The drunk Mexican caused so many problems he wasn’t allowed to go in the house. He went in the house and her daughter locked the door with the kids inside and she busted the whole door jam and then the Mexican hit her daughter. She called the cops. When I would go to her sister’s house to get the kids it was lie pulling teeth, because she would buy pizza and big macs. One day I left with the kids and my daughter was so distraught she started trying to choke herself. She could not understand I was picking her up to do fun things and her sister was not helping any. Her sister was a drunk dope smoker. She worked at the jail. One day my ex with her Mexican friend pulled up in the yard. He had gotten his fifth DWI and they were going to haul ass to Georgia. I said you aren’t taking the kids and she hauled ass. Her sister worked at the jail so I called her to have the sheriff call the sheriff to where she was going. That fat bitch new for two weeks she was hauling ass, but never said a word. Now this would have been kidnapping and she was with a fugitive. She calls me a week later and I said you better get those kids home or you all are going to jail. She comes back a week later. Then about a year later she goes out with the girls from work and has a few drinks for a Christmas party and she comes home and he’s beating the hell out of her and she takes a little paring knife and gives him two cuts that might have require bank aids. So he calls the ambulance for two little cuts and the kids were there and so the police let her call her sister to come and get the kids. Nobody called me. The next day I went to pick them up and learned this and I said that is it I am getting custody and my daughter got upset and I let it go to see what was going to happen with he mother. She sat in jail for three months, because her drunk husband was beating her up and she had a right to defend herself and then they gave her a year home detention. She stayed at her sister’s house. I know there would be a million me saying they would have taken the kids from her and be done with it. But when she came back from Georgia I had a lot going on and then when she stabbed him. I just let my daughter stay there a lot. It was hard he mother sitting in jail. Then I learned the police had been called to their residence every other week for 7 years. Once I called CPS and told them what was going on and they din’t say they would do anything. They go out to school and ask a 10 year old kid what was going on. I didn’t learn they went there till six months later. I called them up and said you didn’t say you were going to talk to one of the kids about this. I said domestic violence and child abuse is the worst crime someone could commit on their own property and the CPS woman agreed. I learned later they can’t talk to a child without someone there and then they have to film it. So I said woman you people did real good I said her mother told her to lie and she fooled you idiots. A ten year old child made you think everything was fine, when she was living in hell. I told my mother all I wanted to do at 28 was settle down. But coke whores make shitty wives and horrible mothers. So I can’t really say much about why people go through what they do. You probably thought you had a drama filled marriage?

    Sorry things didn’t work out for you. I can certainly identify. I finally found out after almost 11 years that he was not the person I thought he was (stoopid me!)He moved on to greener pastures.

    Goodness, In the sentence I smell pain. {Flew the coop} Too painful. It sounds like my first pregnancy where I was shamefully embarrassed and thought of my self as {knocked up}My husband couldn’t understand and boasted all over the world and that thankfully got me out of my shame..
    I wish you a better life partner as soon as you are ready.

  10. LOL!!! Actually, I made a very poor life partner choice. Being a writer, I wrote a book as a sort of self-purging. The book is fiction, based on real events. He was not what he appeared to be, and I fell for it. Sure, I am partially to blame, but after doing the research, keeping a diary, and putting all the pieces together after he left and kept all the money for himself, I realize that there are sociopaths among us that look just like we do and act just like we do, but inside, they are a whole different species.

    Barb, You can’t leave us hanging.What the hell happened? We need details and since you’re telling the story you can be the one who was in the right. Did he clean out your bank account? Or he ran off with the housekeeper
