I can understand
I actually asked my neice this very question while staying up in the mountains over Thanksgiving: "What would you do if a gigantic electromagnetic pulse from an intense solar storm zapped your little iphone and rendered it useless?" The look of horror that spread across her face was priceless.
I can relate to what your saying. My kid's have come home with us to Montana and will stay until after Christmas. My Son was the first to get bored. He asked about what we do and where we go for entertainment ? We have times with family and then we like being alone. He said ALONE IS WHAT YOU ARE!!!!!!
He said that he couldn't even go to the Gym and work out. He asked how do you do it Dad you dont seem to have a weight problem or Mom either and you guy's eat all the WRONG STUFF. I took offence to that what we eat is the wrong stuff. We eat mostly things that we have raised on the ranch or what the wife gets from the store is alot of organic grown things. He said look at the Milk you drink its RAW MILK its like drinking cream and the butter you make, homemade ice cream and eat it every day. Mon makes bread,pies, all kinds of other fatting things
Breakfast is a disaster you eat all the things that are killing you. I asked him its not processed so how bad is that. I dont really think that the organic stuff (fruits and veggies flour) and some other that I cant remember are that big of a deal but it makes the wife happy that we are doing good things for us so if it makes her happy so be it.
But to say that the milk that the cow gives us and we make butter, cottage cheese, ice cream, The pig gave up his life such as it was to give us sausage pork chops ham the chickens gave us those eggs how can this be wrong ? This went on for the better part of the day about how we are killing our self. He made the comment that I was waiting for about going to the gym to work off some of the FAT.
I asked him you want to go to the gym my gym opens at 3 AM. Got him up and took him to the gym aka the barn. Did all the stuff that the animal need to have done. After that we ate then out to plow snow ( I love that). Took him to FIL's place for a real workout. Had to put up 200 bales of 3 wire alfalfa in the loft along with about 100 sacks of grain. Gramps ask him to help bring some firewood up to the house 2 cords. Clean the barn at both places FIL's and mine. Then went to the BIL's but most of his was done because he has 1 still at home. All before lunch. After lunch we did some more chores and called it a day about 4PM. On the way back to our home he went to sleep in the truck when we got home. We cleaned up for dinner and at the table he looked like I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER.
Mom asked if he was OK ? Before he could say anything I said SURE HE HAD A GOOD WORKOUT AT THE GYM. Young people dont know what work is anymore he's in good shape his job requires it but his kind of shape and mine is different. He wanted to have a fire I said sure you should have been around for THAT WORKOUT.
I asked the Daughter if she wanted any part of my work out plan she was smart enough to say YOU GUY'S DO JUST FINE. :-laf you can eat what you want but you got to pay two times for it once when you buy it and once when you HAVE TO WORK IT OFF. I think that people have it to easy today and if we should ever have to as a population WORK AGAIN we are in BIG TROUBLE. He didnt want any ice cream and I made his favorite. He turned in early and as he was leaving the room I said that the gym opens again a 3am 7 day's a week. The Daughter comment was that I was born 175 years to late ,Dad you love this stuff.
