I never expected to have property in FL - even though I had visited a friend in Wellington once or twice a season for a few days or a week at a time. I enjoyed it, but never thought I would enjoy it day to day. But two years ago I spent ten days in Wellington, taking an art course in Palm Beach. I m...

When I was working in NYC, I had a small tank at work and a 55 gallon at home. The work tank had aggressive fish, to match the atmosphere at work. The home tank had fish named after other animals - cardinal tetras, zebra, catfish, horse faced loaches... it was a well planted tank and a pleasure to w...

Too bad I found it right before it went out of production. Let me know if you have any in great condition that you don't want any more. TIA.

Wicky

Good luck! Mine were a piece of cake -EXCEPT the first one when I did not listen and I did read during the first 24 hours. That caused the incision to rub against the back of the eyelid (remember, when you read with one eye shut, that eye still moves in concert with the reading eye. That caused incr...

I think that deleting them is so final that I just cannot do it.

St Elsewhere! One of my all time favorites. I thought it was about me, and my experiences as an intern and resident, but we never had such a handsome doc like Mark Harmon. What an incredible cast - so many went on to do great stuff.

Did you read The House of God?

Wicky

I'm so sorry. So many of us have gone through this.

It is actually a grab bar that I use as a rack. It is great. Just tell them that you want a grab bar parallel to the floor!

That reminds me - I'm buying a small place in Wellington, and will have to make sure it has a grab bar (or two)! Cheap to add, but I may have to do it.

Wicky

Mine is NOT on its side! LOL.

My shower is rather like Canyon's, I think.

The problem with shelves is that they tend to collect water especially if you have bar soap. Nevertheless, I had one put in because I liked the look, rather than baskets. So I vote for a shelf.

{{{{{{{{{Xan}}}}}}}}}}} I've been there, heard that. You are doing the right thing, out of your love for your horse, never doubt it!

Now "temporarily off line for maintenance."

That is beautiful!

Oh, regret is useless. I just bought a VERY expensive GP horse that had a very acceptable PPE, which I was present for and videoed and sent to my vet, and has not been right since he walked off the trailer at my barn a week after the PPE. And has now been diagnosed as neurologic, at Tufts. I was goi...

Hi Chance - the mass will be on June 22 in Vienna. Today's mass was small but meaningful. There were a few of Karl's students in attendance, and some lovely memories told by one of his Gloucester friends. Lynn played a lovely piece on the piano, with a wonderful clarinet accompanying her. Most peopl...

For those in the area - There will be a funeral mass on Friday, June 14, at 9:30 am at St. Ann's Church in Gloucester.

Back to the original question! I saw him once - it was great. I learned to pay more attention to the horse and its body, among other things. Actually, I think that seeing a different way of related to a horse was the most important thing, because instead of learning a method, I learned to be flexibl...

Wicky

Working with Karl was THE highlight of my riding career. I will remember and use his exercises for the rest of my riding life.

The world is lucky to have people like her to help out in times of trouble. Congratulations for raising a wonderful daughter.

Very sad. Many years ago I had a horse with shivers, and his full sister had them too. No other horses out of the mare had it, and the stallion was not known to have it or pass it on (stallion was a VERY well known breeding stallion with a long showing history). He was managed as well as possible wi...

OH YUMMY! So I thought - as someone who tries very hard to eat lower glycemic load foods - that since sweet potatoes have a lower glycemic load than regular potatoes, this would be something that I could eat without guilt. Just out of curiosity, I Googled glycemic load sweet potatoes. I'm now sad. :...

I proposed (literally) Grandma Wicky. I am something else, apparently, and I guess it is something that is not the same as the other grandmother.

Wicky

lol. When I was listening to the youtube, my local TV station was playing the same guys singing a song from Frozen!

LC should be smiling. Those guys are great.

I bought fleece lined Crocs. I love the cushiony soles and the thick soles add additional insulation https://www.crocs.com/p/classic-mammoth ... OD#start=7

Cherie Beatty has posted this: As you may know, or may have heard, Karl Mikolka has been diagnosed with metastatic bladder cancer, at a late stage. Some of his students and devotees are trying to arrange a benefit clinic for him in the Massachusetts area to let him know how much his teaching means t...

Wow - congrats!!!! May you have many happy trails together!

Photos, please!

My wall decorations are mostly things that have stories behind them. Some are pieces I bought years ago when I thought I should buy some art. THose will probably be weeded out. But this was something that made me feel good - reminds me that we are so, so tiny and the universe is so, so large, and my...

SInce you had a change in bowel habits, you absolutely cannot rely on Cologuard. Sorry. Honestly, the prep is unpleasant but better than the first time I did it - not only was it the diet and the oral prep but it was an enema too (I am old). Unpleasant. Not "I wanna die kill me now." And t...

Such an interesting woman. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves, and that her life will be an inspiration to girls everywhere. And to boys who don't see the opportunities that they can make for themselves.

I read recently that the warming Arctic results in a weakening of the jet stream, which allows colder air to come down into the US. SO on average, warming (as in the entire world) with areas that are colder, and increasing severity of extremes.

Wicky

Wow! that is lovely. Am thinking of taking an art class, and cannot imagine doing something like this!

Wicky

I do understand why you do not want to say anything. I hope it works. I am sorry for your loss.

Wicky

I agree with Canyon. Letting them know is important, better than leaving an open question.

Wicky

I have two for the horse that insists on chewing on things like electric wires and buckets in general. It does a pretty good job if hot water is put in once or twice a day (when it is in the teens or below). Don't use the floater on the top, though. It is this type https://www.statelinetack.com/item...

Looks like a virus or poison ivy in people. My friend's TWH, 9 years old, green broke. I didn't seen it yesterday, today he did fine with ground work but under saddle on the trail (he hasn't done a lot of that) he was tossing his head and acting anxious. We inspected his tack, I thought his noseband...

I like my Costco Visa. Good cash back. If I remember correctly, 4% on gas, 3% on restaurants and travel, 2% on Costco purchases (or something like that). Card is free I think, if you are a Costco member.

Wicky

i agree with Mary C. I have to say that our (and I count myself in there) reaction to just avoid politics really means that we don't feel that we can have civil conversations with people who do not think like we do, which of course prevents minds from being changed.

Just to add to the NSAID discussion - it depends on what you want to accomplish and which risks are worse. For example, there are a number of surgeries where anti-clotting agents are given routinely - I think hip replacement, and perhaps knee replacement, and for sure stent placement. There are some...

Wicky

JMHO - YMMV, but unless the bruise is pressing on a large vein, bleeding could be more of a problem. Remember, you are only avoiding the NSAID for 2-3 days. Then the internal bleeding from the bruise is finished and you go from ice to heat to help it resorb. IF you bleed into a closed space, like a ...

Wicky

Think twice about the ibuprofen and other NSAIDs. They do interfere with clotting, so I'd avoid it for the first 48-72 hours at least. Ice, and Tylenol.

Ouch indeed!

Wicky

I am concerned. If traffic is so bad that you hate it, you shouldn't be doing any better with a bike. Weaving in and out and riding alongside of cars is DANGEROUS. I don't think that commuting on a bike safely should take any time off your commute.

The basis of chiropractic is adjusting the spine, and work with dead bodies has shown that one cannot make the kinds of adjustments claimed without applying MUCH more force than a human can generate. That is not to say that some changes in proprioception cannot be achieved, resulting in benefit, jus...

Cool!

I have a ticket for April. I intend to take myself to NY, not to stay with parents, but stay in a hotel, eat in the dining room (or some lovely restaurant), and act as if I own the world!
