Kitt

That's really hard for someone like me who always has a plan B for my plan B. I have been told I would have made a good military strategist, having step by step plans to both move forward and fall back if needed. Any suggestions ( other than calling my daughter to come fix) how to get my computer email page and the same account on my phone to speak to each other? Never had an issue before, but this morning I answered an email from my phone, then I could not get the original to move to the correct folder. Kept giving me a "move to" box but would not let me actually move it. OK, so I get home and go to do it from my laptop. Cant find either the original or reply anywhere! Any techies out there can help???? I am what one would call tech challenged on a good day!

Yup! The little egg pan would just piss peeps off!

Enough to bring my fry pan!

Live CSR chats are great when they work. The automated system to get to a live body sucks!

No idea, but I'll protect you!

I do hope that's *F!

We can complain to each other. We are @ 98* actual temp, but the humidity is low so no "real feel" increase. Major surprise, the show this Sunday is being rescheduled. Guess high 90's and high humidity forcast actually sank in to the heads of the organizers.

There is plenty of room in the korner! Hi @weinerdog

Awwww it's CUTE!!!

< peeks out from under covers> Hopefully today will go better!

I now declare this day FUBAR. That is all.

While I think sites like ours are fantastic, it does have some drawbacks. The readers sense of entitlement in where their favorite characters go is one of them. We are all guilty of this to some degree, but most of us know to sit back and let a story unfold unhindered. Some however feel the comments section is an invitation to steer. Would anyone feel entitled to contact David Eddings, Robert Jordan, or JRR Tolkien to steer where their characters go? Of course not! So readers here should keep their paws off! Okay, the fact a ouija board would be needed to speak with these three is beside the point!

Weather forcasts like this week make me extremely glad I can pretty much set my own schedule, barring an emergency transport of course. I was at the barn by 6:30 and done chores and home by 9. Today's home chore list was done by noon, and I am now in my recliner binging a show I enjoy but stopped watching because I got way behind. I am now contemplating the idea of a nap.

Speedy recovery!

What absolutely fantastic weather we have had! Mosty sunny, high 70's (low to mid 20's for you Celsius peeps) breezy, and heavy dew/light showers overnights. Can we keep this all summer? Please please pretty please?

Works with cucumbers too, but you need to lay them out on paper towel to dry a bit befor brine. Once dehydrated I can't tell the diff, so I stick to the zucchini as it's faster and easier and no wasted paper toweling. Hubby likes it straight out of the brine. Says it reminds him of his gran's German cucumber salad.

I think this dehydrator is one of the best toys I have ever bought! One of the things I miss most on a diabetics diet is potato chips, but I have found 2 easy to make munchies that ALMOST make me forget them. Easiest is pepperoni chips. Sliced pepperoni into the dehydrator till crispy. 160* overnight in my machine. Be aware this renders most of the fat and oils out, so be prepared for drips! Zucchini chips take a bit of prep. I peel them since the skins tend to give me ogida, slice thin ish on a mandolin (this is to taste, but mine are about 1/8th in). Marinade 30min in 1t sugar or substitute, ( I use splenda brown) 1.5t salt, black pepper to taste, 4T acv, 1.5T olive oil. I turn every 5 min for good coverage. Then into the dehydrator overnight. Salty, crispy, and lower cal, carb, etc. Also, I use unfiltered acv, the mother is supposed to be good for you, but I just like the taste better!

A year wait to deal with kidney stones?!? My God! And here i thought nationalized health care was supposed to be an improvement over our system here. Hope things go well and you finally get relief.

I am not sure I know what to do with myself over this holiday weekend! We only have one horse move, a mini going to the parade tomorrow, that my daughter is handling. I get all 3 days off! I cannot remember the last time I got 3 days off in a row! ( Does spending a month in a medically induced coma count as off? If not, then when the world shut down for covid in March of 2020 was as close as I have come to extended time off.) Daughter is now towing without one of us with her, but she says she wants to stick to the littles and easy horses for now. Joke is on her tho, the little she has towed to shows this year and is taking to the Parade tomorrow has given me more issues than most of the other regular customers! But she like Daisy, so ...

So...put your iced tea in a pretty wine goblet and enjoy! We used to help my uncle with Christmas tree harvest on his tree farm every Thanksgiving. Usually about 15 peeps all weekend. One year ( about 25 years ago!) We arrive and the good silver is in the kitchen drawer instead of its decorative/protective box, the good crystal is in the cabinet by the fridge, all the stuff for "special occasions" was in daily use. Mom asked what was up? He said "What's the point of having all this stuff if you don't use and enjoy it?" I loved the idea! But it did get me a little bit of hassle. I'm sitting at my dining table in front of the picture window with my laptop one morning, orange juice in the crystal goblet I got at a Renaissance festival glass blower shop. The nosy neighbor walks her dog past, and I wave. An hour later I get to the school for my lunch hour supervision gig and I get called to the office. They tried to send me home as it was reported I was seen "day drinking".

Horse has been exercised, chores are done, dinner has been prepped, laundry is running, and the sky has opened up. I think the rain right now has better water pressure/flow than my shower! I do believe I shall make a cup of tea and watch the storm.

Basically, yes!

Actually, the problem is that momma thinks it is ok to let the mare say no and move away. Each time she let's the animal say no it gets worse. If she would just LISTEN to me, or the barn manager where she boards, rewards good behavior like moving further into trailer, and does not allow backing away, horses learn pretty quickly getting on is a good thing. But no, she knows better, let's the horse back out, croons to her and gives treats "to calm her" then let's her graze befor trying again. <SMH> Like I told hubby, I tried. Now it's not my monkey, not my circus. I just hope the mare never needs to go to the clinic in an emergency. If it were my mare, dinner would be on the trailer every night for a month. No backing away, and if you want dinner, get in the trailer. By the end of the month she would be waiting for the tailgate to drop!

No idea if it would work on floors, but Gram used to use Jubilee kitchen wax to clean/shine tiles on the back splash that previous owner of the house scrubbed the shine off. Be careful tho if you try it. Might make floors slippery!

Oh good lord! A former customer bought her own trailer because she thought my prices were too high. Yesterday hubby brought another customer to a hunter pace ( basically a timed trail ride with jumps) and met the former customer there so the ladies could ride together. Things went great till they loaded horses for the ride home @ 2:30. Our customers horse walks right on. An HOUR later hubby and customer give up waiting and head home. 4:30 , Gabby has had her liniment bath ( she is 28), hubby is home and we hear Bonnie is still NOT on the trailer. They finally got back to their barn @ 6:30. People don't understand it is not just a ride somewhere I supply. You are also paying for my time and experience. Last time I moved Bonnie took me 20 or 30 min to load. She is a 4 year old so it does take a bit of time and patience.
