  1. They have issued our first air quality alert of the season here, that ground level ozone has the potential of approaching unhealthy levels. They specifically mentioned those with asthma and recovering from covid may have issues. I was pleasantly surprised today. After Sunday's water bucket issue and a bunch of other stuff, I decided to resign from teaching at the barn. Put word out to a few friends today I was interested in a position at another farm, and got calls from 2 places that want to sit down to talk with me, and neither is the place I am looking to move my horses to!
  2. What on earth are you two doing up so early? Absolutely beautiful here, Cool and clear, watched the sunrise with my magic bean juice. Now planning to do my morning paperwork and be done before hubby even wakes.

    What I Think

    I was a chem major befor leaving school for a job in a qc lab. I could get into all sorts of trouble just with whats under my kitchen sink. Makes me glad most protesters dont seem to have had the same classes i did! (shudders)
  4. I am working on that now. Waiting on the new barn to be completed on the new place. Was interupted by covid shut down of non essential construction. Its a shame. I have been here 20 yrs now.
  5. Hey gang I need an opinion First a few Givens Horses drink lots of water. Vets recommend a minimum of 10 gallons per day. Horses will not drink scummy water, therefore buckets must be cleaned daily. So now the question. Would you be upset to come in and find your horses water bucket green slimy and covered with a film of oil and dirt? Would you complain to the barn owner, since speaking to the barn hands has done no good? Would you take offence in being told you are being bitchy for complaining about this situatiion for the 3rd time in as many months? Last two times they cleaned properly till i stopped inspecting the buckets daily and went back to topping off dirty buckets.
  6. When I was in first grade, I had three very close friends. Two of them had the last name Brown. C was a blond haired white girl, L was a dark skinned black girl. I tried to steer my mom to one of them on the playground one day by saying "the little Brown girl". Mom went to the person of color thinking I meant the color of her skin. She was flabbergasted when I said "No mom, the little one. That is the tall one!" She realized she did a decent job teaching me to see the person, not the skin color. I hope I did as well with Wings!

    Why do they do that?

    He did have to duck my foot several times that first day @MichaelS36. I could not seem to stop myself from kicking towards his head as he sat on a stool next to the table. Guess it's the mare in me lol!

    What I Think

    yesterday I saw a news piece featuring a four-year-old who wanted to march in a "peace rally ". Mama was really proud that she wanted to March. This was followed by pictures of the little girl marching. Her sweet little face I turned to one of pure hatred. She was stomping her feet swinging her little fists around, and generally looked like she was throwing a childhood fit while shouting slogans. Hatred like that is taught. What could have possibly directly affected that child's life to teach her such hatred, unless her parents have been shouting it at her for months. People need to learn to teach their children well. You teach them to hate then they they teach their children to hate, and the cycle never breaks.
  9. You just described my favorite hot weather meal. I will also do things like ham or chicken salad in a hollowed out tomato, with the tomato innards on the side with olive oil garlic and herbs.
  10. That was quick delivery! I wear shorts and tank or sun tops inside all year round. I do get funny looks from the UPS guy if I answer the door in shorts in February, but the mail carrier thinks it quite normal. He is one of the carriers they have to order back into long pants in the winter.
  11. That homework sounds so much better than the math my daughter used to ask for help with!
  12. Is a bit early to tell yet. Have not finished my first cup of magic bean juice yet.
  13. Now gents, let's get the terminology correct. Its leaf elixir and magic bean juice
  14. I gave up trying to keep up with ice, especially during the hot months. A large plastic bin and regular stops at the 7-11 for bags of ice works.

    Ummm... Brett, grown up? Are you sure about that? Emently crushable, even if he does prefer guys.
  16. Nope. Age is a function of time. State of mind is what gets us through it.
  17. Mid forties is an old fart? Boy, am I in trouble! Hey Ashi
  18. I guess i am the "odd duck" in that i CAN flip the editor switch off, not that i am such a great editor. I can manage to skip over the misspellings and other things that I would normally be running my red pen dry for. Some of the better stories I have read would be greatly improved by a good editor, but I have learned to keep my trap shut instead of suggesting it in a pm. Yes I believe in praise in public critique in private.

    Christmas Day

    The chapter got a thumb because i could not choose which fit best. Sad that Pam has still not dealt with Liz passing. Shock she would try to arrange a christening behind the guys back. Angry she would ask her son to lie and do it for her. Ozzy is right. She needs professional help.

    New Year's Eve

    Don't you just hate it when a character decides how you should write the story?

    Fuck Racism

    Damn well told! But people need to learn the difference between protest and , between civil disobedience and inciting rioting. How does carrying a flat screen TV from a store broken into during a "protest" improve the situation? How does torching an OCCUPIED police vehicle correct the excess of a bad bust turned violent? Can someone explain? I will stop here before I get too political.
  22. Wonders if peanutbutter, butterscotch or caramel chips would work?
  23. Everything's better with bacon!
  24. What 7 yrs old thinks of a prom for his teen babysitter? He is adorable!
