I'm guessing because I was no longer at the barn. Out of sight, out of mind. It was time for me to move on though. It was painful but the right thing.

I got into yoga after I retired Bob. Yoga became my dressage. I do it twice weekly, and am taking a weekend course once a month on integrating yoga into life. I also work out with a personal trainer once a week, and twice a week repeat our session on my own. Despite this activity, I still have 30 po...

My reinventing came about as a result of the Triple Crown of Death in my life. I lost both my brothers and my horse within 3 months. I also lost a huge part of my social life since that was entwined with the barn and my so-called barn friends dropped me like a f'in hot potato, including my best frie...

I assumed this thread would be about the cheap wine....

khall, I now understand the need for farmers/ranchers to have guns for critter control. You spelled it out quite nicely.

I don't believe more gun control will help decrease shootings. Most of these idiots shooting each other are doing it with illegally obtained guns.

So the new Pathfinder is NOT posse????????

I have always stayed out of the political forum because I cannot articulate my thoughts. I believe handguns should be outlawed. Period. Nobody needs a gun. Period. I will cut some slack for hunters. But normal, every day people do not need guns for self-defense or to protect their homes. And certain...

I would loff to see pics of your Corgis. Do you have Pembroke or Cardigan?

I am totally happy to send cards to those outside the U.S.

Was anyone able to save that thread?

HA! I hope there are no mystery threads!

I just want to say that any thread that mentions mini donkeys or burros is USELESS WITHOUT PICHERS! LOL

Paula - I was a medical illustrator in Rockford! (I grew up in Champaign Urbana and went to school there and in Chicago!) And I discoverd rubber stamping a couple of years ago. It is soooo much fun. And the internet makes it even better, so many projects and ideas you can find online! Amado, got my...

I'm PaulaO and I live in northern Illinois in a town about 40 miles of Chicago. I'm 58 although I lie about my age (and weight). I never rode as a kid and started lessons as age 30. At age 32 I bought my first (and so far only) horse, Bob, who was rising 3. Green horse, green rider, but it worked ou...

Last week I panicked at the thought of no Secret Santa so I signed up at TOB. I cancelled that this morning so I could participate here. I'm IN!

How fun. In my heart I'm a secret eventer...

I think we've found our new island. glad to see so many familiar names, and welcome to the newcomers!

As always, wonderful piccies. Glad you are here.

How 'bout that Donald Trump? I don't know why ANYONE would vote for him....and I am right leaning!! Wish I could find it, but my favorite cartoon lately is a Republican Elephant with a mop of hair wearing a sign "We shall overcomb." This is probably the only post I will ever make in this ...

I am entering into a shareboard situation. I will post pics when it is official BTW. Anyway, we've ironed out that I'm riding 2 days (but haven't decided which), I will use owner's tack, farrier and vet are covered by her. Questions I plan on asking are: who pays get if horse gets hurt while I am ri...

Snork organized last year's but I don't know if she is here. I'm already signed up for 2 from other boards--can't swing the $$$ for 3.

Gone for me too.

Tonight is roasted asparagus and coconut shrimp. I'm in the middle,of a sinus infection (on antibiotics and Prednisone)'and I just got my senses of smell and taste back.

Apparently my first post was in 2001, asking where to buy Adequan online for cheap. I didn't post much til Deanna resurrected the board. It was home because people were caring and nice and if they had something frank to say, they did it without scorn or rancor (at least to me). A onto or so ago I as...

One of my life goals is the Century Club--combined age of horse and rider must be 100. I'm 58, shareboarding a 14 year old. I'm not convinced I will make it, but who knows!

I am creakier and must use flexy stirrups or my ankles lock up and I fall when dismounting....

PaulaO here, there and everywhere except CoH which I rarely post anyway. Glad to see y'all!
