What is it about farming that makes you guys so good natured?

Thinking about becoming a farmer, it's not hard work is it?

Well as opposed to DIY I use GSTDI (Get Someone To Do It)

My mom enjoys gardening and so did my grandfather, I suppose I do too in the rare times I can slow down enough to do some.

I think the work gets the endorphins going and lets the stress out, plus there's some satisfaction in accomplishing something.

Stop the world I want to get off and become a farmer!

Seriously you guys are inspirational, thanks!

No, nothing is considered hard work, if your enjoying yourself, having fun, or having a laugh, have enough to eat/drink and have shelter for you and yours. Disagreement may come from the hired help, the kids, etc. But having worked on farms as a grandson/son /hired help, then farming myself, and finally, trying to direct and be successful in Thai farming, I am inclined to think hard work is in a very individuals perception.

Now Mr pigeonjake ... was that a hand on the heart, cap in hand ... "I'll never stray again"?

Or a hand on heart, fingers crossed behind your back ... "I'll never stray again"?

Because rumours have it that ...

But we never want to believe in silly rumours do we!

I am not a farmer, but I enjoy reading here, there is also another good little group, the DIY builders on this forum, no political wanna bee in their either.

AGREED! ... One of my favourites also.

I'm constantly surprised with what some of the guys build with so little money.

I sometimes pop into the Teaching forum as I am toying with retiring to Thailand early & putting the kids in an International school to finish their education.

I can't believe the attitudes & comments over there, couldn't stop myself from making a couple of posts.

I have a feeling I will be receiving a suspension of my own any moment now.

The thing is on the rare occasion things get a little silly on the farming forum, I always want things to sort themselves out and never feel the lack of respect I feel towards members on other forums.

It may just be me as I was always better at working & had more respect for the men who passed on their skills to me than I had for my teachers at school.

^^ ... mate you are well respected by the boys (I know that for a fact) because of your straight talking style (and refusal to use a spell checker ).

But, being an Aussie ... I couldn't resist a small stir!

EDIT ... can't speak for the Mods though ... but I'm sure they are amused ...

Lifes to short, not to have a wee bit of fun along the journey.

One read that I came across recently that was definately worth a read was ... Getting Sick Of Dogooders by our very own Jim. Lot's of good thoughts, very little bs ...

While you are in the Issan Forum ... I need help with my own topic ... How Do I Survive Living At The Farm ... Tips And Tricks Please!

Thanks

David

David48: Seems as if you could make good use of a spell checker yourself!
