Poem-Tender Written February 3, 2010 at 3:27pm By Dakota Joe Her arms are wrapped around me so lovingly tight Holding me in the present with the past clearly out of sight A tender embrace aknowledges emotions so right A comfort devoid of malice and spite A tender kiss placed upon my cheek My heart flutters as my knees grow weak Even if I knew the words I wouldn't be able to speak Tongue tied, humbled, and feeling so meek A tender moment between us is shared In times of distress she actually care…

So I was sitting here thinking of some random ideas, well, because that is what I do best when I am injured, think of random ideas. I am wondering how I could hike for charity on a per mile basis sort of thing. I have seen other people do that last year and I am not really sure how that works. Does any of you know exactly how to do that and get involved on that sort of thing? Is tis a good idea or should I just throw back into the bargain bin for some one who has a little bit more time to plan a…

Quote from BirdBrain: “DJ. Do not be embarrassed or glory in your mistakes. We are all a sum of our experiences. Your past gives you perspective that few can have. You are in a unique place. Too many have succeeded in living a "pure" life only to believe they are in a position to stand in judgment over people who are not as "good" as they are. I have a checkered past too. We are all sinners. We all need forgiveness and grace at some point. It is one thing to be able to say I failed. It is anothe…

Quote from TrafficJam: “I get to take care of those moms and babies every day. You can't imagine the crap I've seen. Seeing a newborn withdrawing breaks my heart. DJ, rejoice that you're alive, many moms that come in high on cocaine don't deliver live babies.” Thanks TrafficJam, I do rejoice that I am alive. I thank my birth mom for giving me life and my REAL mom for choosing me.

Quote from BirdBrain: “Sounds good. I like the "Where is Dakota Joe?" thing. You might be an inspiration for these kids to dream, try, and succeed. Can't hurt for sure.” Thank you. You know, that has been my intention through out this whole thing. Inspiring people to try and follow their dreams and to not let anything stand in their way and to not give up. Not just kids, but all humans. There are so many things that can trip a person up that the long run can seem like a goal that will never be r…

Quote from Trebor: “These are also good to wear around camp in the evening and while sleeping.” That's a great idea. Keep that nose from getting amputated!

Quote from Trebor: “Quote from DakotaJoe: “I just walked a couple miles in 10 degree weather. Everything was warm except for my face. All I had for a head covering was a beanie hat. That brought to mind another winter question. What type of risk is there of getting frostbite on one's face in the winter time? I a kind of partial to my nose and lips and really would not want to have them amputated. Don't you just love my silly Floridian winter themed questions? Seriously though. What is the risk?”…

Quote from TrafficJam: “Quote from rocksNsocks: “Quote from tauwillow: “Quote from TrafficJam: “Shaved or cut dog hair is very difficult to spin (at least for me). It's better to brush it off when the dog sheds. If it's under 1", it's going to shed when you wear it. Warmth: much warmer than sheep wool, I've read it can be 80% warmer. Collect the fur from a shedding dog that lives in a cold climate and it's extremely warm.” I have two Bernese Mountain Dogs! I bet they would make some great yarn. …

I love talking about my favorite subject.. One more bit of trivia cuz I can't help it.... Merino is sheep fiber but because the diameter of the fiber is so small, it's less itchy and more comfortable than other sheep fiber. That's why it's become so popula…
