  1. Hard, but i would not trade the horses for a 3 figure salary. Some of the people, not so much.
  2. I was. Now I am riding out a case of the shivers in the ac.
  3. Morning chores with 100% humidity, which dropped as the temp rose over 90*, 2 trailers with 4 horses to a show by 9 am, and 17 ribbons later, stick a fork in me, I think I am done!
  4. Sunrise on the farm is so pretty. I just wish i wasnt at work an hour before it happens, especially this time of year. January i dont mind as much.
  5. Why do they always think they can lie to mommy? Gram used to tell us moms are walking lie detectors!
  6. I did not mean to say it is not dangerous. Things are relative. Like saying gun violence is scary, knowing it intellectually, but the reality is so much more visceral. I pray no one I know here ever finds themselves in the position I was in. The only good thing that came of my situation was that I know I can deal with pretty much anything life tosses.
  7. Cyber stalking seems pretty innocuous to me, but that is because I had to deal with the live version, and back before it was illegal to boot. Calls to the police got responses like "He hasn't done anything wrong yet." YET? trying to run me off the road is not wrong? Calling and threatening my life at 3 am is not wrong? Turning up everywhere I went is not wrong? I finally took matters into my own hands, and did something not QUITE legal, but it frightened him enough to leave me alone. I was quite relieved when I heard he had passed away a few months later.

    The Lake Incident

    Sounds like you are suggesting an old fashion blanket party.
  9. Took hours to unglue my brother when a tube of super glue behaved the same way under similar conditions. Whole bottle of nail polish remover and a box of q-tips needed. At least yours will evaporate with a bit of patience
  10. Lately that has been my hope for every day. A post insomnia day? I turn my phone off.
  11. For the sofa climb @Mikiesboyremember, if you feel yourself slipping, fall flat and aim at the cushion. Dont forget WD40. Every farmer, and most of the back pocker racers i know keep all 3 in the tool crate. I can send you all the bailing wire and/or twine you need. We have more than we know what to do with.

    President's Day

    Just because this installment has run its course does not mean the series comes to an end. Keep writing Carlos, and we will keep reading.
  13. In NJ he would be entitled to 2 paid 10 min breaks and a min 30 min unpaid lunch. Something is wrong with a system that needs to legislate time to eat.
  14. I was never so glad to get out of apartment living. Beautiful place with hard wood floors. Upstairs neighbors were nice enough but walked heavy. Was like living in a bass drum. When she was told to stay off her feet early in a difficult pregnancy she took to rolling around the place in the wheeled dining chairs ( it was a late 70's early 80's thing to put wheels on anything you can). Thought i had moved into the tunnel under Pocono Speedway! Similar rumble just lower decibles.
  15. I am looking forward to getting rid of these stupid masks. I understand the need, I encourage the use, I wear them. But I hate em with a passion! Especially now with this excessive heat.
  16. Some days I definently feel a day late and dollar short Ashi. I just keep on rolling. If it is something I need to know someone will drop me a pm and fill me in.
  17. Good Lord it is gross out there! Actual temp 93* with a feels like of 103*. Thank god my girls showed first thing this morning before it got bad, and we are home in the air now! Yeah for three seconds and a reserve for one girl! Bags of ice for the one that crashed and burned because she knew better than me what line to take into a tight jump. Maybe next time she will listen!
  18. We had one room air unit in the living room, and fans in the windows of the bedrooms. In particularly hot weather we tacked a blanket over the arch to the rest of the house and we all camped out on the sofas and floor. Was sort of fun except dad always got control of the tv.
  19. Does sunny and very humid count as wet and miserable? Had 91% this am so we changed our plans for the day. So much for our day off!
  20. If they are easy to forget, they probably barely needed forgiving.
  21. Gram always said to forgive quickly, but never ever forget.
  22. Unfortunately instead of rewarding the organized hard workers, bosses end up depending on them to fix the screw-ups of the less desirable employees. Has the effect a really stressing the Achievers out.
  23. Morning peeps. I am off horsing around again. Stay comfortable, weather is supposed to start getting icky and humid.
  24. Afternoon gang. Just stopping in to say hi before dinner since I am pretty sure I am going to crash after. Since the FEI ( governing body of the horse show world) opened the season up I have been running non stop. Had a great day at the show today, five horses , 9 riders, and a bejibber load of ribbons, and I am fried!
