Sounds like fun!

PaulaO

Yummy! Cowpony clearly enjoys it.

PaulaO

Very pretty. Unfortunately (or fortunately for my wallet) it would not look good on me.

PaulaO

Insane. I do not believe for a minute that a turkey can be an "emotional therapy" animal. And if this is true, the person should not be flying if they have to bring their bird with. Take a few Valium. I just hate to see the legitimacy of therapy animals minimalized by this nonsense.

Actor Alan Rickman, best known for his role as Professor Snape in the Harry Potter movies, died at age 69 from cancer. He was such a versatile actor, playing everything from Shakespeare to Hans Gruber in Die Hard.

I just got over David Bowie, now this. Truly saddened by this loss.

PaulaO

It is very exciting to start a new life. New home, new job, new barn. Jingles that everything goes smoothly and have fun!

PaulaO

The Crazy Japanese Lady (although she really isn't crazy) says go by--beginning with books since they are the least emotional. You are supposed to take ALL your clothes from closets, drawers, etc., put them in a pile, then sort. I figure if everything is out, then you won't stop til everything is so...

PaulaO

Ditto what MLP said. The bank told me I qualified for a mortgage over $200K. I about died. No way and I knew it. Sit down with calculator and paper and figure out what you realistically can afford.

Good luck and you know we want pitchers! LOL

PaulaO

I saw his Glass a Spider tour too, back in 88. This afternoon I just sobbed while listening to Absolute Beginners.

PaulaO

I cannot believe he died. I'm stunned.

PaulaO

Did my sock drawer this morning. What a bunch of junk! Now it looks so tidy with socks in bins according to color and use.

I read that H&M stores accept worn out clothes for recycling as do Salvation Army and Goodwill. So even if your clothes are too worn out to be resold, donate them anyway.

PaulaO

Adorbs! Plus they kinda look alike (no offense)

PaulaO

I used to sell on eBay and through consignment stores. But it became a big hassle and now the market is oversaturated. Now I either throw it away, or give to whoever calls me for pickup (AmVets, Purple Hearts). My motto: when it doubt, throw it out. That would include your mother's bowling ball. Doe...

PaulaO

OMG I am so sorry. I hope you have someone to help you.

PaulaO

I am so sorry. You and your dad and stepmom are in my prayers. It is horrible to be lied to and I hope you are able to resolve the situation to bring peace of mind to you and your family

PaulaO

Jingles for Duffy and you. (I've had butt surgery--it's no fun!)

PaulaO

I love Merri's face. How old is she?

PaulaO

NOT Fluffy! I like Phyllis.

PaulaO

I'm fine her with meowing at appropriate meal times but she is going to have to learn to wait til I'm ready to feed her. This morning she was meowing when I got up and I just ignored her while I washed up and put on the coffee. Then she got fed. VBOpie , I used your method of picking her up (after s...

PaulaO

Is she an inside goat now? Do you let her on the furniture? LOL

PaulaO

Prayers said for Vanessa and her children.

PaulaO

I find that if I'm on the fence about getting rid of something, I wait until garbage pickup morning, then toss it. That gives me time to decide if I want to keep it. If I throw it away garbage morning, it's gone, and no more decision making. Hayburner , throw those cards away! Do not wait to have a ...

PaulaO

I have to apologize to Ursala and need to remember to read labels. The single portion is only 30 calories and the label says to feed 4 portions per day. Poor girl has been getting half that. So back to Petsmart for more food. She's now eating a makeup portion and I'll give her another portion before...

PaulaO

She weighs 8 pounds and a serving of wet food is 1.3 ounces. She gets that twice a day. The brand is Nutro Perfect Portions. I'll keep her on it til we see the vet. I gave her free choice dry food (Purina Naturla) for the first 2 days and she never stopped eating.

PaulaO

1 of them is a childhood portrait of me. It's ugly as heck and my kids hate it so I should just trash it and do them the favor.

I had one of those too. I finally screwed up my courage and dumped it in the garbage. It was so liberating to be rid of that thing!

PaulaO

Ursala has been here a week and has settled in nicely. She's free range, except for my bedroom. I don't want her in there as I tend to be a finicky sleeper. She's been staying in her room at night (with water and litterbox) but this morning I found her in the closet. She had managed to work open the...

PaulaO

No goats here. Who has the goat in the cast?????

PaulaO

Texsuze, there are places that accept running shoes for recycling (think arena footing). Google Nike recycle. I started the decrapification over the summer, prior to getting new carpeting and new furniture. I had to box everything and it was way too much stuff. So as I boxed, I purged. Lots of books...

PaulaO

Congratulations on baby Viola Alice. Welcome to the world, little one.

PaulaO

I love Springers. Had one growing up, my sister had one for her kids, her son has one. Guess Springers are our family dog.

PaulaO

I emailed her and we kind of picked out a design together. I mailed her a huge clump of hair which she washed, and returned the extra with the bracelet. I asked her about providing a disc to engrave And she found that for me. Yes, EP said it perfectly. She is very respectful of your loss.

PaulaO

Yes, it is just stuff. Sometimes I think "what would I grab in case of a fire. I would take Ursala kitteh and my stuffed animals. Everything else can go. I am reading the Japanese lady's book and it does help to hold things before making the decision. The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up is th...

PaulaO

What a beautiful picture. Thank you.

PaulaO

Let's clean the closets/basements/tack rooms.

I'm down to a manageable amount of stuff, but dream of throwing away everything. What do you want to get rid of?

PaulaO

Peri, I nominate you to start the thread.

PaulaO

Trisha at Galla Designs (http:// galladesigns or on Facebook) made a gorgeous bracelet from Bob's tail. Sterling end caps, lobster claw clasp, and I got a sterling disc(a bit extra but totally worth it). I can't recommend her enough.

PaulaO

I'm rubbish at keeping resolutions so I'm making goals. My first is to do the spin bike at the gym at resistance 12 for the entire song "Ina Gadda Da Vida." Another goal is to lose 30 pounds so I won't feel like a tub if I go on a riding vacation. I'm not setting goals regarding horses. As...

PaulaO

Sending white light and prayers to you and Gallie. I wish everyone (2 and 4 legged) all the health in 2016.

PaulaO

Godspeed Freeway. I remember when Q. brought him home. Seems like yesterday. Hugs to you, Sue.

PaulaO

Cb06, he is spectacular.

PaulaO

Illinois does not have turnpikes, only toll roads.

PaulaO

I believe PA also has turnpikes, as does NJ. Why am I so concerned about this?????? LOL

PaulaO

IMHO toll roads and turnpikes are different. You pay every x number of miles on a toll road. You collect a ticket when you enter a turnpike and pay a lump sum when you get off. In Illinois we have toll roads. You can pay cash (at manned booths) or use a transponder. If you have no money and you hit ...

PaulaO

Don't toll roads/turnpikes show up on GPS/Google Maps/whatever app? And I'm so tired of the "I never carry cash" line. Keep $10 in your car for emergencies.

PaulaO

Two years ago today I helped my beloved Bob cross the bridge. Not a day goes by that I don't miss him. Last year on this day I was happy the bad year was gone. Today (and this whole holiday season) is sadder for me. I have my new kitteh to help. I realized how much I enjoyed taking care of him and a...

PaulaO

Of course I read the subject as "I Effed Up." Your title is much cuter.

PaulaO

I can't imagine that 3 people did not have $2.25. There is no excuse for not knowing tolls exist--does no one preplan these days???

PaulaO

I'd love a Meezer at some point. I swear U. is part Meezer--her head looks it and she constantly talks when I'm with her.

PaulaO

She's still confined and is very happy. I love to spend time with her. She had some loose stool outside the box today. My worst nightmare! I cleaned it up and talked to my cat advisor who recommended holding off food tonight. Ursala does not understand the concept of self regulation (just like me). ...
