MDJunction to me

RickEJ"I was diagnosed 8 years ago with Bi-Polar II.
With no support in my area I searched the web for help, after two years I stumbled on to MDJ.
The bi-polar II group has been my life line since 12/26/2009.

Send a PM

Give a Hug

A man shopping for mules in Misouri heard about a guy who never beat his mules while training them. This he had to see!

So he tracks the farm down and ask the trainer. "Nope. I never touch a mule while I'm training it".

The man wants a demonstration of this training. The man says "I'm about to train that hard headed old cuss over there" and aproaches the mule.

Along the way he picks ip a lenght of 2x4 and WHACK! nails the mule right between the eyes, knocking it to it's knees.

"I thought you never beat the mules while you trained them!" the newcomer said.

Throwing the broken 2x4 to the ground the trainer replied "I hadn't started training him yet. THAT was just to get his attention!"

Although I may be knowledgeable, I am not a doctor, therapist or any other professional in this area. My experiences and opinion are just that. Hopefully others can relate though. :)

When you teach a mule to carry packs or pull a wagon or accept a rider.

You want to be a Trainer or a TrainEE? Laughing Laughing
