Thanks for the recap Ivy.
Is your living situation ok? Your caregiver is reasonable (not really the right word)? Do you get to visit with your son?

Re: I'M BAAaaAACK
Welcome back! I recall reading your story on the UDBB, but don't remember the specifics. Would love to read a recap of your journey to where you are now.
Best wishes in finding a horse.

Re: Help me find my new horse?
Yep, idiot here. :-) I based my not dressage-y comment on the description in the ad. Then, I watched the video. The first seconds of the video I thought something was really wrong with the horse and it must be injured. Then when it started to jog I realized the first painful seconds was the walk. Th...

Re: Help me find my new horse?
A 12 yr old AQHA gelding with a temperament rating of 1. He's 16.2 and in Petrolia. Not really dressage-y though.
Oops, just did the currency conversion and he would be $11,000 CAN.
Oh gawd, oops again. I watched the video. Yikes. I'll keep looking.

Re: Greyhounds- tell me what you know
It is the norm now. When I got my first greyhound in the early 1990s, I went to a kennel at a race track in Colorado Springs. They opened a bunch of the crate doors and out popped a bunch of dogs. One male picked me and home we went. It was quite a learning curve for me and the dog. At that time, th...

No, not the rides I watched. He was at another barn for some early rides both days, so don't know about those rides. He was dressed to ride. There was one horse I was hoping he'd get on though. Wonder if he talks when he rides?

I'm rather intimidated by transgender females. The ones I have seen in person are really beautiful.
So, I would be torn between being flattered or freaked that someone thought I used to be a man. And seriously, not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm just saying.

Re: Reconvening the Court of Grammatical Peeves
The use of the incorrect tense of a word drives me nuts.
Judy come over and we had a great time.
My SO and his mom use come instead of came and it drives me INSANE. I want to scream, 'It already happened, she CAME over.'
Ok, I'm better now.

Suggestions? Thx!
