Note to friends: Life is a funny thing just when you think you have it figured out it doesn't go that way. I have a problem with my Guestbook... NO ONE HAS POSTED ANYTHING THERE!!! Have a good time drop me a line in my guest book! Arky |
Before I was a Backyard Chickens fanatic I belonged to a group of chatters called Gorpies. Now there were a lot of people who asked what is a gorpies, well it was the name of a chatter named Gorpie, which morphed into the chat room called Gorpies. Now you had to be there before you could understand it but it was fun. It was during a time when Yahoo was a fun place before it became the cause of porn and child issues which caused its fall. Ah, back then it was just fun. To my Gorpie Friends, yes I still miss you all and yes I am here. . . . some where! Lol. Yes, I do all of my own html! I moved from Arkansas and now live in Kansas which is my home state. It was very hard for me to sell my birds I really loved my Marans(french chicken breed) and so for now I without chickens. I managed to hang on to only my dogs and cats all the other animals were given away. I live with my mother until I can find another place for me to live. Perhaps then I can get more birds to start over. Except this time I definitely know what I would like to raise rhode island reds and a couple of geese :). Life is life what happens, happens and we have little control over it at times. I left chat because well it seemed all my buddies left. My website will change from the byc page it has been to more of my art pages and my book, basically; more of a personal web page. I do this because from time to time I have people who may want to know what ever happened to... I am currently writing as often as I am able on my book. Please understand I am slooooooow lol. Life is a bit busy here. Lol. Hugs and Kisses, Arklady UPDATE: In last several years I have been blessed with three grandchildren. A girl and two boys by my youngest son. He and his wife, both live in the same state as I do, and it has been a joy for me to be able to hold cuddle and all that grandma stuff! Also I have been in touch with an old Gorpie called Wcoyote, we chatted often and it was super nice hearing from him. He has asked me if anyone had been in touch I had to say sadly no. But he was really happy to have found me and that is exactly why I built this site. So that others can find and be in touch when things get strange lol. UPDATE:8/12/2020 I have once again moved and this time into my sons house. I still live in the city of Wichita Kansas. The move was prompted because I couldn't live with my younger sister. We have been at odds for many years but she was there and had no where to go so I moved in with my Son and his wife and three children. To say that it was a difficult undertaking is taking it mildly but suffice to say now its not an issue. :) I have been here for about two months. Its been a real zoo since I brought my doves and dogs with me. Fortunately they had an enclosed patio area for my doves and a large yard for my dogs. They had two dogs and I added my three chihuahuas which makes 5 dogs and they don't care. (breaths a sigh of relief,) It has a lot better and my son told me I could do what ever I wanted he didn't care. LOL I don't know what to do with so much freedom! In the mean time I still receive mail at Arklady@yahoo.com Have fun out there, and stay safe! Love you Gorpies out there! Arklady |
