I'd go to Budapest. London and Paris have changed a lot in 20 years so put those on your list for after winter. Frankly, I'd go anywhere if I had the chance.

Fly mask as goggles cracks me up. Would those be called hoggles? (there are goggles for dogs called doggles).

Prayers and jingles that everyone (2 and 4 legs, including chooks) stays safe.

She's so fun. She lovers her perch and looking out the window. I'm home today due to weather and the last time I checked on her, she greeted me, did a few rubs, and back to her perch. So she's feeling comfortable enough to start ignoring me.

ursala.jpg This is my new kitty, Ursala. I haven't had a cat since I was a kid. She is 12 years old and a real sweetie. I got her from the shelter on Saturday. She's in my second bedroom with her litterbox, water, and food. I visit her every few hours and she rubs and purrs and loves pets. She love...

PaulaO

Love her smile!

To our Canadian and United Kingdom friends.

Thank you for my bounty of gifts! I love my P mug which will be perfect for the Starbucks cocoa. Which I will drink while reading The Secret History and wearing my socks. I will put my mug on the coasters.

Merry Christmas and thank you again for the thoughtful presents.

Love, Paula

PaulaO

I had such fun shopping for you. Merry Christmas!

PaulaO

Wonderful!

PaulaO

I finally opened my cards. Thank you to everyone who sent such lovely cards. I wish everyone peace, joy, and love in the upcoming year.

Dubarry's are not meant for riding, and I'm guessing the Dublins may not be either. I have Dubarry's and I love them. Comfy, warm, but suede shafts that are not reinforced and therefore no support. I rode in them once or twice, just a hop on and walk, but I would never wear them for serious riding/s...

PaulaO

Congratulations, and happy new year and life!

PaulaO

Is your arm at least set?

PaulaO

Don't let the judge intimidate you. Ride past the scary monster!

Edited to change question mark to exclamation point.

Many people here have bought horses sight unseen. Go for it! Then I can have the gray mare....

PaulaO

Prayers and healing jingles.

I'm going somewhere in Kentucky (for obvious reasons), or the PNW because I like dark and dreary. Truly, I have summer SAD. I don't like sunshine or heat--it depresses me. I'm also considering Urbana-Champaign because it is a cool college town and my alma mater.

PaulaO

Can you bring Magic over for a nosh at the silos???????

PaulaO

My farrier did that with Bob the last year of Bob's life, and he trimmed Bob in his stall. Very compassionate.

PaulaO

Very cool, but what are the red and green lights? Is that the garage????

PaulaO

Hoof, Robbie needs to be on your Christmas cards for next year. He's TOO CUTE!

PaulaO

My head just exploded from these pictures. How wonderful! Talk to me of parrots. What breed is Tico? Does he get to fly around the house? Does he talk?

PaulaO

I would buy them nothing. First though I would have "the talk" about not exchanging gifts to make sure the person realizes you are serious. Then I would follow through and buy nothing. At some point in life, spending time with the people,you care about is way more valuable than any present...

PaulaO

What will happen (and has happened) is that standards for everything will be lowered, and work will be barely passable. Fortunately I will be dead before there is no longer a work ethic. Supposedly the millenials (20s to low 30s) aren't interested in "material goods" they want "experi...

For years I rode in a Land's End Squall Parka http://www.landsend.com/products/womens-squall-parka/id_288191?sku_0=::41K I bought a size Large, which accommodates a turtleneck and sweatshirt. I'm usually a size 12-14 and this gives me room to move. BTW, I'm in northern Illinois and this coat kept me...

Chiming in again. A horse at the barn where I used to keep Bob just sold for a very reasonable price. QH mare, 16 years old, grey, sound, sane, Training Level. Had I known she was for sale (I only know the scoop because my friend is a former boarder who still visits the barn) I would have bought her...

I have eaten almost all the candy Sunshine2Me sent

, but the packages are still wrapped under the tree. For now.

PaulaO

I like the idea, but the color is completely matte and I like shiny.

I'm up and down about the holidays. My sister (my only family) and her husband will be out of town visiting their children for the holiday. So I'm going to my friend's for Christmas Eve, and out to dinner with my Jewish friend on Christmas Day. We call it Jewmas. I finally finished my tree over the ...

PaulaO

Hugs to you Periastra. Now mom and daughter are together again. I know you have a Peri size hole in your heart tonight.

PaulaO

I love her eye. She looks like a try-er. I would check her out.

PaulaO

Can horses that are no longer with us be Horse of the Month? I have some very handsome pictures of Bob.

PaulaO

I'm so glad it arrived. Merry Christmas!

PaulaO

The video is from Sweden (says the Svenska flicka). Do goats really scream like humans?

I'm a city dweller so no goats for me, although I do "buy" a goat every year from Heifer International.

PaulaO

I got my prezzies today! I opened the box and everything is wrapped (except the candy, the BEST!) and under the tree. I'm going to try to contain myself. Thank you Kim (aka Sunshine2me) and Magic!

PaulaO

Would you post the caramel brownie recipe please?

PaulaO

Wasn't there a poster on the old board that made soaps and creams? Kurqueen maybe? People raved about her hand cream.

A White Elephant in the Midwest is the same principle as a Yankee Swap, except you bring something you have at home that you don't want. It can be lots of fun providing people know not to expect anything fancy.

PaulaO

How did Hank end up being holiday mascot on TOB?

PaulaO

A big box of cookies. Well, that's what I would like.

PaulaO

I love seeing his face when I open the board....

PaulaO

I'm so happy for you! Now you can enjoy your wonderful ponies to the fullest.

PaulaO

I have received but not opened some cards. I hope to get mine done in the next week.....

PaulaO

Jingles and prayers for your friend and horse.

PaulaO

Stinkers! So glad you found them, and glad they acted slightly contrite.

PaulaO

I'm a sucker for a cute pony! Donation dribbled.

PaulaO

EMDR is eye movement stuff. It's proven to work in soldiers. Type EMDR into Google and you'll find lots of stuff, a lot of woo, but there is solid evidence behind it.

PaulaO

Stunning! Love the bow in his hair.

Oh, I like the movie gift card idea. Who doesn't like to go to the movies?

PaulaO

I LURV L'Occitane original scent shea butter hand cream. It's a real treat. I keep Aquaphor in my purse (along with a small tube of L'Occitane..)
