Cold Antler Sham Truths

First I'll address the question of if everything is taken away, can you survive?  Um, yes.  I don’t work for anyone else.  For the last 25 years I have worked for myself in various capacities.  It's not a crazy unusual situation.  I have never been married or had a live-in to help me with money or any business.  My parents are both dead.  No help there.  I have two brothers.  One is an ass.  I have more money than either of them.  I don't have any other family.   I live on 40 acres 15 miles from town.  I don't need to rely on anyone to give me anything.  I have created my life to be the way it is.  I'm not extraordinary, I've just always done what needs to be done.  I have been kind to people along the way…I haven’t stepped on people to get myself higher.  People like me and I have a fine reputation.  If I would ever need help people would know my need was authentic and they would help me.  No one would ever think I was a scammer.

However, that heated area would certainly be calculated with the stove being in the middle of that space and not dealing with corners. Her stove is not even close to being in the middle and is in fact next to a large glass door. She talks occasionally about her second stove which is on a covered porch at the other end of the house.  She has said it is used to keep the pipes from freezing….probably on the backside of the kitchen. I would think the second stove provides no house heat.  The door to that porch is probably kept closed into t

"Know when to hold 'em. Know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away.  Know when to run. " The thing is she doesn’t listen to advice and she’s an idiot.  Therefore, she will die on a train harassing a stranger.  But nobody will ever write a song about her. Haha.

Hahahaha.  Hahahahaha.  Hahahahaha.  Hahahaha. *snort*. Hahahahahaha. On second thought maybe she’s right.
