I signed up for the DVD service--first month is free. I am concerned about the loading/buffering, plus I can waste a lot of time watching bad tv/movies. This way I limit myself. My first order is Peaky Blinders, as mentioned in the "what are you watching" thread. I signed up just to watch ...

PaulaO

It seems there's lots of good stuff on Netflix. Streaming is $7.99 a month, and DVDs are $4.99 (the basic plans). I'm sure I'm going to sign up, but for which one? I have Amazon Prime, and cable, but there are movies and shows that are exclusive to Netflix. How is the streaming? My Internet is decen...

PaulaO

I like the new guy and you should call him Gary.

PaulaO

Ooooh, Peaky Blinders sounds wonderful. I'm in the U.S. and Amazon Prime has series 1 and 2 for $11 each. A bit more expensive than Netflix, but less temptation.

Glad to hear. Can you put a sun sheet/fly sheet on?

PaulaO

I started watching Timeless, about a trio that uses a time machine to hunt down a criminal. Except we don't know what the criminal does, or why he tries (and sometimes succeeds in) changing history. I also love Elementary, as long as I ignore that the leads are named Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson....

PaulaO

Thanks Canyon. I will pick up polar fleece. My machine is so old that it doesn't have a zig zag. I assume the fleece would go on the inside, against my skin.

PaulaO

Sending healing wishes to your boy.

November 2 at Taco Bell cuz the Indians stole a base in game 1 of the World Series.

PaulaO

Can these be saved? The rest of the breeches are in excellent condition. I suppose I could get some kind of stretch material and have the dry cleaner sew a patch on the inside. Has anyone successfully done this? The breeches are On Course, I'm guessing Cotton Naturals.

PaulaO

He's very cute and from looking at his neck, I can understand why bending isn't at the top of his priority list. The thing that matters most is that you are having fun.

PaulaO

I must confess, most everything annoys me.... There are days when I wish I was hard of hearing. But then I wouldn't hear my Ariel nicker for me.

PaulaO

I mentally scream STFU. So many people talk so loudly and most of it is just blather. Hayburner, go into the hallway and tell the people "you know, I can hear every word you say." Or ask them to move their conversation elsewhere. We quiet people need to be assertive.

PaulaO

I would suggest PT. You may need ultrasound and other treatment modalities. If you have pulled glutes, stretching may NOT be a good idea. I would see your doctor.

PaulaO

Bob was the king of the quirks, and sad to say, he never got over them despite being exposed umpity ump times. No matter how relaxed I stayed, no matter how I didn't react (and most of the time I never even saw what set him off), he always reacted to certain things. Red wing blackbirds were the wors...

Chi, the barn manager sedated her. Sorry if I gave the impression the farrier did.

PaulaO

Tom Stovall! I remember him from rec.eq, and when I did a search on Durasole, his name popped up. Whatever I saw didn't say he developed it. I learned a lot from him too, and I can use the product with confidence now.

PaulaO

I saw Keratex at the feed store but refused to pay $47. I've never heard of Durasole, so thank you MLP. And for the user tips

PaulaO

She had a few ouch strides today but worked out of it. The local stores don't have Durasole but I ordered a bottle. We shall see. She is going to be a trail pony tomorrow and pack people around outside. Nose to tail.

PaulaO

The old farrier showed up yesterday--7 weeks. My name had been scratched off his to-do list and Kim (trainer) knew I was switching. I will get Durasole. If she needs shoes she will get shoes but I hope she can be barefoot.

PaulaO

Says single ticket options go on sale early 2017. I might go for 2 days. What else is in Omaha, besides good steaks?

PaulaO

I love the assortment of critters y'all have, esp. the guinea pigs and rabbits. Can you say how you got interested in these ?

PaulaO

Carrots. She doesn't get cookies. Yet!

PaulaO

She stood good as gold for Anthony. She is barefoot now and fingers crossed she can stay barefoot through the winter. I hate shoes, even with pads, in the snow. She had a little bit of bruising on the shoeless sole, but Anthony wasn't concerned. He said for a TB she has good feet the walls are a bit...

PaulaO

Anthony (new farrier) trimmed Ariel today. She was good as gold, just stood there. Even he said "she's great, why was she Aced?" So I'm glad that is all behind me and we have a new partner in health. Ariel is now barefoot and fingers crossed she doesn't get sore. I want her barefoot for th...

PaulaO

Arrgh! Why is she sideways???

PaulaO

Her two front teeth are half as long as the teeth next to it. But she's only 15. Sometimes I take off her cribbing strap and just let her do her thing.

This is Ursala. I got her from the no kill shelter the day after Christmas. We always had a cat when I was growing up, but she's the first cat I've had as a grown up. Black kittehs are the best!

Susan, can you get a rubber doughnut put on your saddle??? LOL. I've never heard of tailbone removal surgery. I hope you don't have to have it.

PaulaO

I saw that on someone's FB page. Really scary. How the heck did he get UP the stairs?

PaulaO

Truthfully, it is the handling issue that is the reason I'm no longer using him. I can see the point that the second lost shoe could be considered out of cycle. However, it is now 7 weeks and no sign of him. Whatever. Anthony comes tomorrow and we'll be on a good path.

PaulaO

Godspeed Quinta. You were well loved.

PaulaO

Thanks for sharing pictures. Phoenix is a beauty. Love your dogs tired out and sleeping

PaulaO

Thank you for the update. He will continue to be in my prayers.

PaulaO

I don't expect an ironclad guarantee that a 7 week shoe would stay on. I'm questioning 2 shoes lost in the same cycle on a horse that isn't known for losing shoes. She got shod by the new farrier September 1, which was the day my lease started. I have no problem being her advocate, which is why she ...

PaulaO

P.S. Her feet are decent, not shelly or soft. Totally normal to my eye.

PaulaO

When Miss A. was a school horse, the barn manager shod her (and all the other school horses). As of September 1, she was done by a new guy (we'll call him Scott cuz that's his name). Scott became her farrier because Scott is my trainer's farrier. My previous wonderful farrier is no longer taking new...

It's very exciting to watch the progress of barns. I wouldn't have the mental fortitude or patience to do it. Will Rico be getting a companion once he is home?

PaulaO

What a beautiful baby! Congratulations to mom, dad, and big brother
. I cannot believe you rode 10 days after giving birth. You are a strong woman.

PaulaO

I'm happy to write endless posts about Ariel but that would drive people off. LOL

PaulaO

Oh, she learned it today! One crinkle and all movement ceased. She is so effen smart.

PaulaO

Miss A. will crib on anything, including my hand. Of course I didn't let her. Last weekend I caught her cribbing on the pasture fence. I went over to pet her, and she somehow hit the hot wire. That stopped her. She always has hay. Unfortunately night turnout has stopped for the winter so she's only ...

PaulaO

Oh she already knows the crinkle means peppermints. Maybe I could teach her halt by crinkling a wrapper.

PaulaO

My vet just posted on their FB page that they are getting a gastroscope! Guess who will be first in line?????? I wish I still smoked. I would definitely light up and make her stand. She's fine to stand in the middle of the arena because she knows she's done. It's halting other places. She'll stand, ...

PaulaO

You did what you were needed to do. I understand your helping but I also understand wanting to not get involved. Perhaps put her in touch with social services? If you want to go the extra step, get her mobile home out of hock and fix the flat? And yes, bless you. We need more caring people like you.

PaulaO

I was walking down the aisle and called her name. She stuck her nose between the bars and nickered. That made me happy. She recognizes me. And two people, including the barn owner, told me how good she looks and that she loves me. Awwwwww. The bad news is she kicked at one horse and snapped at anoth...

PaulaO

Ex-vet, if little strides were not post worthy I would never post! So many of us are looking for support for the little things. Please post your success no matter how small you think they are. Although I have a FB account, I've never found anything on it that is as remotely wonderful as this bulleti...

Trish, I'm so sorry. Yes, Cloud had a rough start, but he landed with you. You did what was right and even if the man was not a good guardian, Cloud came back to you because the universe righted itself. Take care.

Cribbing collar is back on. Sunday she was cribbing (sans collar, staff forgot to put it on) on the top fence board. She managed to hit the hot wire and catapulted back about 20 feet. Stayed away from the fence for a looooong time. I'm of 2 minds about the cribbing. She is die hard. If she doesn't h...
