I am a young man that separated from the U.S. Navy several years ago. Since then I have spent my time caring for the sick and injured as a 911 paramedic in Houston, Texas. My dream since childhood has always been to be a rancher. Unfortunately, I have next to zero reference and guidance on how to get there. I work as a "hand" on my uncle's ranch from time to time. I first started as a very young boy, doing simple chores for the sheer satisfaction of being on the property. Since then, I have graduated to working a tractor for 14 hours a day, 4-6 days in a row, once a year during haying. My uncle has around 300 head on about 1,800 acres. Sounds like a perfect resource, but knowing old ranchers like y'all do, he continuously just tells me that it is not something I want to do and to get over it.... I love the man to death, but he is wrong....
I am hoping that somebody on this forum can help point me in the right direction. My time in the military taught me hard work, dedication, selflessness, loyalty, and perseverance, all qualities I would bring to anybody willing to help me out. I live near Houston, have a wife and kids, so unfortunately I can not pack up and head out full time on a ranch somewhere and learn the trade properly. But, if there are any ranchers near Houston that would be wiling to show me a few things, I would be forever grateful. If not, a few words of advise are always appreciated. In return, I have hunted wild hogs professionally, and am quite skilled at predator control, so in return for advice or knowledge, I can help you with your coyotes and hogs, both of which can be more than a headache.... If this is the wrong spot on this forum for such a topic, or if it is against some sort of rule, I apologize. Thank you.
If you were near me, I'd take a chance. Responsible military person with a family is a good bet in my book. Thanks for your service and good luck.

There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.
I would not disappoint. Oregon has always been my end goal location. If I won the lottery today, i'd be there tomorrow. I have never been though. Is it favorable to the lifestyle? Thanks a ton
There's like "7 Oregon's" climatically. It is very conducive to a variety of agricultural lifestyles.
There's high desert arid and high mountain areas as well as the high rainfall Willamette Valley and coast.
You can make a good life anywhere with the right attitude is my philosophy. Your circumstances don't define more than you let them. I say all of that in that never underestimate the importance of family.
No matter how good you are, the pigeon is just going to s*** on the chessboard and strut around like it won anyway.
Is this what you are referring to? It is in OK. so it might not be the same one. I did not see any job postings, but I emailed them. Thanks!
I'm pretty sure after rolling this around a bit that I saw their "ad for a man", as it were, on their Facebook page. Might give that a look.

This campaign takes place in the world of the harry potter universe, long after the events of the main story.
The story will begin on the train ride to Hogwarts, setting being chosen due to it having the most details. Students will meet aboard the train (at beginning, if later players wish to join in they can, just meet us through the halls)
Students will be sorted upon arriving at Hogwarts. in order to make it fair, everyone is required to take this quiz: http://www.thealmightyguru.com/Reviews/HarryPotter/Docs/Quiz-House.html Be Honest
Now, some clarification. You can have any blood you wish, and any wand type you wish. Slytherin is not automatically evil. The reason they appear as such is because of Harry being an unreliable narrator. The story follows him, and everyone around him dislikes slytherin. Keep in mind that many of the qualitys of Slytherins, which are ambition, dedication, and pride, are also sharred of Gryffindors. James Potter was, in his youth, someone who acted just like the slytherins. So no Bias is allowed before school starts. Once it starts, be the pridefull bastards I know you are.
The artist has reached perfect not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
First year student. Wand is 13" Made with Mahogany and Thestral hair. Olivanders only one ever made.
Shy, Muggle born, Marcus was in many fights in his youth. He never starts a fight directly, but being short for his age and a complete smartass boot, he naturally pisses people off. He was unaware of his magical ability, at least until the letter came. Reflecting over his years, he realized he had been moving way to fast for someone without any training. Any other magical details elude him.
Kalosaer is going to be a First year student at Hogwarts. His wand is a Phoenix Feather and Veela Hair Dual Core Rosewood Wand that is 15” long. Calm patient and sometimes forgetful Kalosaer is also very intelligent and sometimes too truthful to be believed. His mother is a person who was hoping to forget the world of Wizards and his father is an Unknown quantity, meaning that he does not know his whole lineage completely. Either way Kalosaer found out that he has actual magical abilities when his letter came, which would help explain his Prescient visions and his ability to see things no one else can see. Although a little tall for his age (5'4") he does not think he will grow much taller than 6 feet. His Pet is a Maine Coon cat that is three parts Kneazle (NEE-zul) this he learned while at Diagon Ally while getting school supplies. Kalosaer Knows that he will be sorted into the RavenClaw House.
Maurana Nebelski was known to be a very strange girl from the start. First her father was a muggle and her mother a wizard. Her father never knew of her mother's secret of being a wizard until after they were married and was pregnant with Maurana. Being a gentleman, he would not abandon his wife and soon-to-be child, instead he stayed married to her and attempted to raise Maurana as much of lady as he could, hoping she didn't have the “wizard gene”. She was born with it and he knew it from the start. She started showing early signs of being able to communicate with animals. Then if she wanted something badly enough, it would suddenly appear. There were other signs too. Maurana was also known to be loyal, dependable and hardworking. She has long blond hair curls that liked to bounce as she walked, almost like mini-slinky's in perfect unison. Her ocean blue eyes almost seemed to twinkle in the moonlight. She also had pretty fair skin with a smirk on her face as if to tease you thinking she knew something you didn't. Maurana was a little petite for her age but she still had a little bit of more growing up to do. After receiving her letter of acceptance as a first year at Hogwarts, her father knew for sure Maurana was a wizard. Mauana's mother took her shopping in the wizard world afterwords for books, wands and an animal companion. Her wand is 12” long and is made out of oak and it's center it has a dragon heart string. Maurana's barn owl Micky seemed to be perfect for her. She is now ready to go to Hogwarts. (She will be placed in: Hufflepuff).

Prevalence of Partner Violence in Same-Sex Romantic and Sexual Relationships in a National Sample of Adolescents. But in other situations, the personality traits of one of the partners can lead to a lot of pain and misery for both of the individuals.“If only I had known what I was getting into; if only I had seen the signs.” This is a statement made by many battered women who found themselves in a relationship that had gotten frightening and that they couldn’t see any way of getting out of.With endorphins flooding their brains, young people (or middle-aged people in mid-life crisis) are apt to enter into an intimate relationship, with their feet not quite on the ground.The outcome usually is positive, because most people are fairly normal.
