Oh, oh, oh, Today I visited a friend who has a 2.5 year old son Tom, who is also my friend. Toddler Tom was wearing a Tshirt with a Tyrannosaurus Rex on it. He came over and I said, "Tom, you have a dinosaur on your shirt." "Yes!" big smile. I said, "Let me read what it says...

I am still hoping somebody will come up with a solution to carrying the phone and not dropping it in the toilet, water bucket, or whatever. I sew pockets with velcro flaps on the barn jackets I wear most often, and have learned to attach them waist high rather than up higher so that when I bend ove...

Pledge that every time you hear a good joke, you'll post it here. Every time. Even if you make up a joke, yes? I'll start: A horse walks into a bar and orders a double shot of whiskey. The bartender says, "Are you an alcoholic?" The horse says, "I don't think I am," and promptly ...

Roof garden is very heavy, so you want to be sure of your engineering. WET roof garden, even more so.

My sister one christmas gave me these tiny tiny spatulas on the ends of different-length sticks just for the purpose of emptying such containers.

Wow. That's scary and so unfortunate for a historic area (I mean, for any area, but the loss of historic buildings is salt in the wound).

Scientists are coalescing about the growing current effects of global warming.

My Opinion: You're going to have to experiment. I had one horse that was SO buddy sour when he was in a rehab situation. Lived in with 3 others, I was there rarely. He was incredibly sour anytime I took him away from his friends. When I brought him home, he lived with 2 of his "regular" bu...

I'm beginning to care that the Trump Campaign may think their best way forward (with delegations walking out of the convention) is to throw Melania under the bus. That seems needlessly cruel. (JK. I doubt that actually happened, because the two events happened too close together for the response to ...

Hmm. Maybe you need to stand up and announce, "How long do you suppose until you finish eating? I am going out for a walk. You need to answer the phones, and please don't do it with something in your mouth." And then do it. Probably easier to say, "Please eat in the kitchen, ok?"

:roll: I don't see breast cancer, or any other type of cancer, being so divisive in this country as is race... Actually, I'm talking about how language works. And it works the same way for "Black lives matter" as it works for "Join the Breast Cancer Walkathon". Neither one slams...

Wait, you're driving down the road with a desk in front of you?

Yeah. When one does the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Walkathon, one is not declaring that no other disease is important. One is simply choosing to make a commitment to an issue that is also important.

Heard today that the new PM got it by default, as her competitor retired from the field. Seems like NOBODY wants to manage Brexit. The gal who has the post was actually a supporter for staying in the EU, not leaving, but now she has the job of making it happen. What's heartening is to hear the vario...

When I went to Ireland, I took my daughter's Go Pro. I didn't like the look of video done with a helmet cam (because it looks around every time you do). So, I tied it in where my stock tie was, at the base of my neck. Much easier to watch the videos after the fact.

Yeah, no to climbing stuff that actually grabs onto the house. Trellis or nothing.

Rather a difficult question to answer without knowing particularly, as others have said. If someone supports a different candidate than I do, well, that's their right (and I wouldn't call that offensive, tho you see it leveled as a charge of offense too often). If someone posted something discrimina...

Sounds like a very difficult situation. Either get the behaviorist out there NOW, or put the dog down. She's already told you she's taking over as the top animal in the house. Pretty soon it won't just be snapping.

Amazing find.

Yeah, I didn't read all the press, so I was left wondering -- it's great that the world is now mapped, but it seems entirely random. If you have a letter going to matchbook, glue, indeed how does the postman FIND matchbook, glue, indeed?

Wolf here. I don't like either of the cutouts. The original I like because the hind leg is effortful, but in the cut out you lose the muscularity of that. The angle is just enough off that it doesn't work for me as a cut out.

Good that it works for other people tho!

Immigration is a problem only insofar as it gives the fearful an excuse to act out of fear, and gives the haters and excuse to act out of hate. That may not be the case in this instance (Orlando and California). But I don't know that these folks need an excuse. I think the hateful rhetoric is whippi...

I'd actually like to do that, but a few years back, I had the opportunity to work from home instead of the office. I *love* working from home. BUT I couldn't possibly do it without cable internet, so no way I can chop that cord. We don't have any cable TV, but with cable internet, we don't need it. ...

I will be voting for the Democrat. Because I consider the policies of the Republican party to be reactionary and not helpful.

I actually have sympathy for the Republicans, because (I believe) many of them feel the same way in reverse. But OMG! TRUMP! LOL...

I buy cards, often giving them as gifts to horsey friends. It's so important that the horse stuff be right when giving to horsey people! Anyway, I like 16 card sets with 4 of each photo. If that kind of input matters to you at all.

boots – I’ve never had a jacaranda a tree; our winters are too cold. But, this article says, “Jacarandas have a high tolerance for drought and suffer in wet soils; therefore, the soil must be fast draining.” So, I’d bet on too much water. Is that possible – too much water in California? I'm gonna g...

Such lovely photos! Is anyone here a tree expert? I am worried about my jacaranda. It's quite a mature tree, but this year, it put out its blossoms and now is...dormant. It's supposed to be putting on its green leaves now, but seems not to be doing much of anything. Can't figure out if it is getting...

Sometimes, I can't figure out where certain impulses come from.

And he mentions a plum tree on a pu...

In terms of heat, the grips don't touch your skin, the pants are lined and then the grippies are on the outside. So, they grip to the saddle, but definitely not your skin.

Yes, I have a couple different floor plans that will put it at about 1000 square feet, which is all we really need. What you see now will be open concept kitchen, living room and bathroom.

The reality is that I am routinely stunned by how many people do and believe what is most convenient for them, are focused on their own immediate gratification, and take the easy way out with no consideration of priorities or how it affects others..

I try very hard to never include the word 'you' in my posts as that is, IMO, a guarantee to get someone else's hackles up. Yeah, I've learned this over the years, too.

Thanks for the topic, Rosie! It's almost like people who tell other people (women almost exclusively) to smile. Like they have nothing else to say but, "Here, let me insist you do something different than you are doing, in my attempt to make a friendly connection to you." But Rosie, if it'...
