  1. I am sure @Mann Ramblingswill reply that almost only counts with horse shoes and hand grenades.
  2. But that will not satisfy Mann's bloodlust!
  3. Anyone heard from molly?

    Anyone else ever notice the similarities between "alpha" and type A personality.

    That sounds like a good philosophy. Let's all hope to become obsolete.

    Jada and Maddie know each other. If they were mates it would have surfaced long ago.

    Somehow I think it will not be as awkward as he expects.

    One day an app will completely replace humans with our red pens, but till then...

    I beg to differ, sir. It is not the homophone that disrupts the flow of a story, but the miss usage. Authors can get themself into quite enough mischief without ( there/their/they're) editor beating them about the head with a red pen.
  11. Be careful of auxiliary heating methods. Fumes can be a bitch. Read somewhere if you put a clay pot upside down on a couple bricks leaving a space between bricks and put several tea light candles under it heats the immediate area pretty well. Be careful of the critters though. A friend managed to light her cats tail with an unguarded candle. Fortunately the cat was not seriously hurt.
  12. I was skeptical at first, but you have done Pern proud!
  13. Calling to verify doesn't always help here in the NYC metro area. Ine lady booked at the sight closest to her home, a 45 minute drive for her. Confirmed by email with a conformation number. Reconfirmed by phone day before. Son took day off to drive her. Called in morning for open confirmation due to weather. Drove 45 min, and gets turned away as her zip code was not on the approved list. Really? Same zip she listed in all previous contacts.
  14. Hurricanes dont frighten me as much as even a quarter of an inch of ice. Mom went into what turned out to be false labor with me during Hurricane Donna, and we all know the impact Sandy had on the Jersey shore. ( The official "ground zero landfall" was 20 miles from my house. We've test fired the generator, have fresh fuel in the shed and hubby is off tomorrow for Presidents day. Full bottle of propane and the camp stove are on the back porch. The spice bottles I use for driveway salt are full and by each door. We are as ready as we can be.
  15. I will wait at the bottom with my old EMT's bag, just in case, but I have been known to jump from a rock or two, just not from the heights the competitive cliff divers do. The diff is water is a much softer landing if you have been taught to dive correctly.
  16. Trade you for our expected ice storm tonight into tomorrow. Good note, lady that owns the horses I was asked to move in the wee hours tomorrow am ( when the icing is supposed to happen) has decided I am right and it isn't worth risking the 2 hour drive. Means I dont have to load horses in winter weather at 4:30 am to have em at a show by 6:30. Hubby did the grocery thing while I had prepped the trailer, so now we can batten down the hatches and stay warm.
  17. I was always taught to shovel the snow into the bed of my trucks. Adds the desired weight, rids itself as it gradually melts, and gives me a place to put at least some of this white shit that h as fallen from the sky this year. I fervently hope the show management watch our forecast and postpone the regional competition planned for Monday. I do not look forward to loading @ 4 am and driving thru "light freezing precip" in the dark!
  18. @MichaelS36can you imagine the results if you made so many mistakes in your old job? I teach children how to handle huge animals. I would be dealing with catastrophic injury and death. You would have that and worse!
  19. I want a job where I could be as wrong as the weather geeks as often as they are and make as much money as they do!

    I take em all for a long drive, usually twice, once chapter by chapter, then a binge after you complete posting. I seldom comment now as I was raked over the coals publicly by an author several years back who felt I was out of line and lacked respect for the work an author puts into a good story. The comment? "That was an unsignalled left turn" or something similar. Cant double check it as they moved the story to premium.

    Two cliffies in a row? Not nice Mr Gray! Forgiveness will be directly proportional to the outcome. Ladies and gents of the reader pool...as some of you are aware, I work with horses. As such, I do have access to pitch forks should Mr. Gray here make ill advised choices for our boys.
  22. We have had an excess of winter weather here. 2 more inches and we hit the most snow in Feb ever on record. Odd that coincides with the busiest Feb I have had since starting this business. Loading horses onto trailers with snow and ice on the drive can be...interesting. Ever notice Disney has never put horses on ice?
  23. All we’re doing’s jumping out of a perfectly good plane and trusting a piece of fabric and some string to keep us from splattering all over Colorado at terminal velocity. That's my line! I have long held there is no reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane! Also, there is no way I am jumping off a cliff with nothing between me and the ground but a rubber band with a hormone problem! Ritch had a hard decision regarding Donovan. The hazing thing was probably an easy one considering his upbringing. Well done sir.
  24. Could be worse. Last spring TP was hitting the black market. Good news is will get my truck back this afternoon. Bad news is both batteries needed to be replaced. 36 month warranty on the old ones. Guess when they were last replaced? Yup, 37 months ago.
  25. Looks like I am home till hubby gets in to jumpstart it. Battery charger has not helped. Seems to be cranking even slower. Thinking is a wiring issue since the dash lights are going bonkers when I crank it. Sent a friend and part time employee to move the horse.
