Jimmy Barling said Monday that DNA tests will be done on tissue samples from the three bull calves and the one heifer calf to satisfy those who may question the births from one mother. LUBBOCK, Texas - A cow in Northeast Texas has apparently defied great odds and given birth to four calves that have been named Eeny, Meeny, Miny and Moo. Rocky raccoon: NYPD rescues critter trapped on windowsill for hoursД¬row goes to school with kid who nursed it back to health Long Island man cited for keeping sloth, wallaby in unsafe conditions in home Let us both just be.Д¬ause IвЂ™ve never really been equipped to handle the big shit anyway.High-rolling hound: Couple shocked to find Chihuahua hiding in luggage moments before flight to Vegas Trying to help her be somebody, anybody other than me. Trying to shield another from walking down the EXACT SAME ROAD that nearly killed you. What a tough gig, huh? Trying to protect another human from themselves. In letting something else or somebody else or even nothing at all handle some of the big shit. I want to teach her that thereвЂ™s freedom in forgiving. I wish I could just implant in her what took me 30 years to learnвЂ¦that I am not the center of the entire fucking universeвЂ¦that my identity is not wrapped up in the outcome of every single situation that comes my wayвЂ¦that it ainвЂ™t all my problem and it ainвЂ™t all my concernвЂ¦and that most of the time (and this is a big one folks), when I think I am dead-on, 100% totally and completely RIGHT, IвЂ™m 100% dead-on totally and completely wrong. Maybe she can CHILL sometimes, let the other girl win. I tell her that just because she has a stronger personality than the other kids, just because sheвЂ™s outgoing and quick and super confident, that doesnвЂ™t mean she has to USE her power ALL THE TIME, just because she can. In 20 years are you going to care what happens right now on the playground? Is the friendship more important than who gets to be the queen or the princess? Some space to just be.ДЄnd maybe her way is indeed the right way and the smartest, but does it really matter? So I suggest she take it easy on others вЂ“ that even if she sees her solution as the only plausible one, perhaps she use her friendвЂ™s idea just for the hell of it, to give her some room, some respect. Unlike The Seal Incident, which rendered me speechless, I feel semi-confident in my ability to give a little guidance on this particular situation, since I lived the exact same thing and have learned some very tough lessons in the department of extreme self-centeredness. IsnвЂ™t it clear to you people? This is the ONLY WAY. She gets pissed when others donвЂ™t comply and just canвЂ™t figure out why they wonвЂ™t just do it her way because her way is obviously the smartest and the best and the brightest and the quickest. This is the year when IвЂ™m going to get a BEST friend like you and Claire.вЂќДЄnd I realized the child is. I probably wouldnвЂ™t have liked me either.ДЄnd the other day my little Ava was talking about her new school and she said something like вЂњThis is the year IвЂ™m going to make some real, close friends. We also moved a lot, which made longstanding relationships difficult. I had my one best friend in the whole wide world, Claire, who I met in 2 nd grade and have loved like a sister ever since. IвЂ™m a slow learner.ДЄs a result, I never had too many friends growing up. But IвЂ™ll give you a hint: I was over 29 and under 31. This behavior pretty much continued until, well, IвЂ™d rather not talk about it. Not a bully physically, but a verbal bully. I had a terminal case of Captain Justice syndrome вЂ“ I knew the right, fair, smartest way to do it, damnit, and IT MUST BE DONE THE RIGHT WAY. ItвЂ™s just that I thought I knew the best way to do everything. In fact, I used to give all my toys away to my friends. I figured вЂњwell, if IвЂ™m able to get what I want, why not do it? If you really wanted what you want, youвЂ™d try harder.вЂќ It never crossed my mind that perhaps I should yield a bit for the benefit of others, even sometimes. It never really occurred to me to think of you. From the beginning, if there was a way for me to win, вЂњcome out on topвЂќ or get my way, IвЂ™d do pretty much everything in my power to make that happen. All I know is that IвЂ™ve always looked out for number 1, first and foremost. If I knew we were about to do it, I would recite the little rhyme in my head, mentally jumping from person to person to figure out where theВ last wordВ would landвЂ¦then I would strategically place myself in the optimum position based on my objectives. I was the kid who rigged eeny-meeny-miney-moe.
