I have three kayaks, all sit-in, none more than $500, most used going downstream, though all are fine on lakes without big winds. Seatback comfort is critical and the most expensive of the three has the most comfortable seatback. It also has the straps and bands that have lasted the longest. My frie...

Ick. Never seen them on horses as badly I saw them in Spain. I've always wondered if you could wrap flea and tick collars around the legs, just above the knee.

Here in the northern section of the LP of Michigan, we still have snow on the ground.

Tarlo Farm

Same here, but now looking at a regular snowy winter day, with four inches of heavy, wet snow on the ground. And a broken belt on the snowblower. Going to try to peel some of it away with the tractor back blade, but figure on driving the 4WD truck for a few days. Oh, and down to a half dozen bales o...

Did the vet gain anything from your purchase of the mare? Without a solid history of the mare and the breeding, without you insisting on a more thorough exam before you acquired the mare, I'd chalk it up to a simple mistake. How did you "acquire" a supposedly-bred mare with no guarantee? (...

Of course it's harder to go away. But that's one reason why it's good to go. And I, like Heddy, am a minimalist packer. I can fit everything I need for a week into an 18X14X8" pack (Spirit Airlines maximum free bag). I certainly don't look the best among my group, but I rarely have to borrow an...

I feel so ignorant.

Go into your "Settings" and find where that option is, and turn it off.

Tarlo Farm

I never use my phone for that kind of business. I only use my laptop. What's done is done, hopefully you'll be fine. My bank has some significant firewalls and privacy issues, passwords, etc. Of course if something like the Equfax situation occurs and your information gets hacked, you only have cont...

I agree. It's not as lively as the old UDBB, but I sense a backlash against FB and a revival of more folks coming here.

Such fun!

Tarlo Farm

Mental illness beyond the pale, and neighbors and government officials who didn't want to meddle too much. Horrible, just horrible. If you haven't viewed the photos folks, steel yourself. Or just trust that a mentally ill woman was allowed - since the mid 1990's - to hoard animals. Folks didn't push...

Rosie, my two quick thoughts about an apparent decline are, on the professional side, the cost and the lack of prize money from competitions (I'm gobsmacked at the dollars available to the assorted jumping world); and on the lower level side, the difficulty in mastering the sport. Me? I like a chall...

I agree with everything WheresMyWhite said. Plus the option Mountaineer suggested of bringing her home for weekends if that was feasible.

I'm working on "It's Even Worse Than You Think" by David Cay Johnston. And it is. Alarming. I sit with a highlighter and can only read a chapter or so at a time, it's so, so awful; corruption, foxes in the henhouse with no oversight. And getting worse every day.

Successful military personnel require a great deal of self discipline, ability to keep their mouth shut and the patience to wait for things to happen in it’s own time. And the ability to ignore a great deal of bureaucratic running around. In the past, military parades were a common stable of the U....

He loves his tanks and generals and all the bright, shiny objects he played with as a child. Military School (for incorrigible children who caused nothing but trouble in public schools) was right up his ally - until it came time for Viet Nam.

I certainly hope it won't interfere with my vacation plans in a few weeks

because I'm going to be laying in the damn street in front of a tank if the bone-spur-draft-dodger goes through with this deplorable, childish, expensive fantasy.

I just watched it too and heard the commentary. Of course she knew it was going to be seen. I agree Hayburner.

Watched the first two years of "Cards", then couldn't any more. Then THIS administration came along, and I'm almost all caught up. (Damn you Kevin Spacey, you used to be one of my favorite actors!)

Just finished it and was pleasantly surprised by how well-written it is. I even had to have a dictionary handy! A couple mechanical editing errors (which I seem to be spotting in many books lately) and I understand Wolf got some birthrates wrong, but all and all, very interesting. Really weird to re...

I wonder why that person didn't like staying there? I know accommodations are limited and the village is tiny, but it might be cool.

Bucket list item, looking forward to comments.

This ^^^ My thoughts are the photos are more, and more quantitative, and hanging of a canvas at this time could prove problematic.

Same action, same circumstances, different "facts" (i.e. atheist/Buddhist/Muslim/Christian/Jewish), it is that simple. As far as any court case is "simple"...

From two attorneys, one of whom used to be on this board.

Tarlo Farm

Thanks for your input. I got my answers and two great, relatively easily understandable explanations. The term "precedent" refers to law, not facts. For example, if an atheist brings something all the way to SCOTUS on grounds of their atheism, the final decision doesn't preclude a Buddhist...

I said goes "all the way to SCOTUS" not goes straight there. Of course this kind of thing has to move through the lower courts first. It can take years. Regarding online searches, I need to know the name of this supposed...policy...case...instance... I don't even know what to refer to it a...

Tarlo Farm

I've recently been told that if an individual (A) files a suit on Constitutional grounds - violation of some Right - and that suit goes all the way to SCOTUS and the plaintiff loses, that doesn't set precedent...?

That individual B can then file suit on the same grounds...?

Please explain.

Tarlo Farm

No, I can't. That's why I said "I believe". I also believe the fact Japan had a similar "mistake" a day later, albeit, one that only lasted four minutes instead of almost 40, lends credence to my suspicions. But absolutely, this is just a gut instinct.

Tarlo Farm

Annnnnnnd we're back on the precipice of a shutdown. But Tillerson still has his job. But Bannon is declaring executive privilege (???) and has now at least three subpoenas directed at him and his documents. Oh, and I believe Hawaii's ballistic missile fiasco was an issue of a hacking into the system.

There ya go ^^^ Especially regarding this issue with this memorial in my township.

Loss of power/heat is where the big danger begins. I will NEVER live any place that gets below 60 degree without a wood stove in the house. No power, no issue. No heat, no way!

Of course you don't "need" to be there. But I do. I believe my dogs and cats and horses have known full well that I am there when they feel the prick of the needle. Soon after that? No.

I can't imagine leaving your animal alone to be euthanized. I've NEVER not been there, nor will I ever be. I owe it to my critters to stay to the end. And I believe the vets were unethical, but looking at the big picture.
