I don't believe our boy is 14. Nope, not gonna and you cant make me.

Hippie Bathday Mathew!!!
Love and hugs from auntie carpevita, aka fallingwaters.

Aw, THANKS Chantal, that made my morning! I want to visit my cousin in Md next spring or summer, and my big brother in Pittsburg while i'm out that way, plus my in laws are in Jersey, so I owe many people a visit---i'll let you know when I do! I still think it would be a blast to plan a road trip an...

carpevita

Thanks guys. We were able to use gift certificates I had and will be all set.

A friend asked me to go to a conference w her this weekend and I agreed to find a room for us for tomorrow and Saturday nights. To be honest I kind of dropped the ball, though I did make contact with a few airbnb and vrbo places and didn't hear back. So now I have today to find us a room with two be...

Lol, that's what I was thinking.
Can you pull off a Cuban accent cause that would be pretty fun too.

carpevita

I'm with you guys--this board became home because of us--a group joined by our love of equines, life and eventually each other. It became my primary research tool too, why go anywhere else for information when someone here will not only know the answer but the conditions and back story? And I cant t...

I've always been partial to the name Phronsie--the baby sister in The Five Little Peppers books.
Your filly is lovely btw.

carpevita

Things are progressing, the seller has found a new home already and her offer has been accepted. Looks like i'll be moving in by January first ---and as Joe died on Thanksgiving Day, I am SO glad to have something to prepare for and to keep my mind busy over the next ten weeks. And it may seem dumb,...

Are serious entitlement issues a mental health problem?

carpevita

My shirts never hit the dryer, what does goes on low heat but only I've given it a good shake and once over for stains which the dryer could set.
I am a bit cray cray about laundry, lol.

carpevita

I have a rude thanksgiving story for you guys. Years ago my dh was undergoing chemo and feeling lousy. So was my sister with her own health issues, so we decided to have a complete turkey day dinner for twelve (dh much prefers leftovers to the actual meal) delivered to her home where we would all me...

carpevita

Thanks Thursday-how lovely to see you here!

carpevita

OMG Alex the gardens are to die for. There are large groups of plantings which are massively overgrown---the wisteria is about to pull down its arbor its so big. The peonies are at least 3ft around, and there are several varieties of willows, pines, cedars and I think junipers. She designed some sec...

carpevita

Very powerfully written, and those photos are alarming. I hope she gets to live out her days as you set it up for her, but if not I would not hesitate to euthanize. Mostly because I think quality of life is more important than quantity, and she could very well hurt someone and/or come to a bad end. ...

carpevita

Oh my gosh--I LIKE you all!!

Unread postby BlueMayPop » Fri Oct 16, 2015 9:04 pm Well, what most people want is just way stricter regulation on guns. It's never been about an outright ban. That's a red herring. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PaulaO wrote: I have always stayed ou...

Thanks so much for sharing---I love porkies too!

And possums but don't tell anyone...

carpevita

KInd of amazing how stubborn he's being about this isn't it?

carpevita

Yup, me too.

carpevita

That IS a gorgeous place, but alas Burke is just too far us.
I owned a Morgan 30 years ago, she was of the Applevale line too.
There are lots and lots around here for sure!

We are beyond thrilled, the seller is thrilled, its all too much fun!

carpevita

Wow those are gorgeous!
I really am called to luscious yarn, lol.

carpevita

Well she liked our proposal very much and will run it by her attorney on Monday. The timing is excellent for her, and if all goes well i'll be in by January first. And thanks for thinking ahead, we are too and have been researching the legal structures which will be best for our particular situation...

carpevita

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. lets be clear we have a few sep...

carpevita

YES MA'AM!!!!!!
How far are you from the Ct/Ma/RI border?

carpevita

Yup. I realized this summer that I want to be in Vermont nine months out of the year. January, February and March is a big enough chunk of time to go teach English somewhere warm, so I am pleased about that. When Joe was alive I was eager to explore the world with him, by myself has almost zero appe...

carpevita

That is SO cool--I wish I liked swimming better--I've read its just the best thing for your body.

carpevita

Wish us luck?! My bff and I are going to conference call with the seller tonight, who wants us to buy her home, so we are at the start of negotiations. Its a nice property----ten acres of mixed woods and fields, and a sprawling 20yo old home with plenty of room for us all--and potentially one or two...

I need a new hobby, so this thread is really good for me. You guys are SO talented!!!! Lifting was so fun, I loved it but developed huge nck muscles so I stopped---maybe I need a better trainer? Would love to dive, but that will have to be on the back burner for a while I think. I guess I'm going t...

Ok I need some good crock pot recipes if anyone cares to share. We do the typical beef roast with veggies, would love some new and tasty dinners that can be ready when I get back from PM chores. I've had to use the crockpot all summer and these are my two favorites. Poultry with spinach and mushroo...

The problem with our conservatives is they aren't really conservatives at all - they're the former Reform party which is very similar to the American tea party.

I'm very sorry you have this problem too.

carpevita

figgy this discussion is an attempt to suss out what has changed (if anything) in the recent past which might give a clue to this behavior.
nothing is sacred when thinking and asking the question imho.

carpevita

Dang I need that kind of transformation too!

carpevita

OMG what a lovely song for this morning---thanks for the memories!

Ageing hippie makes me laugh, mm called me that back in the day--a title I wear proudly!!

I couldn't stay awake for the entire thing, but did think Hilary displayed her extreme comfort in that arena. I thought Bernie had his moments and stumbled a bit here and there but overall did a good job.
But YES wasn't it GREAT to hear adults discussing actual issues?

carpevita

Thanks so much---I love a discussion which looks for answers!
As for the cause, are most mass shooters lower income?
I know there are a million factors, parsing them out is the challenge.

carpevita

So in an effort to quit bickering would anyone like to discuss possible reasons for the extreme gun violence in the recent past? I'll start. My theory (one of many) is that many kids are not raised knowing how to use and respect weapons. Not as many kids grow up on farms or in hunting households and...

carpevita

Gotta agree that trump is making way more sense than I thought he might.
Don't think he has what it takes to be potus, but maybe some of his ideas might make the cut.

carpevita

Lol, I know they want me there for a few reasons--one of which is I will cost less than daycare!!

she's not even preggers yet and im a grandma, lol!!!

carpevita

HI everyone! Suz I already think of you as Fuzzywunkle!!

carpevita

Start from where I am ? I was fallingwaters for many years, but its been over two years since I sold that farm---I am now carpevita! I am 55, newly widowed and re-inventing myself I guess. Finally starting to feel better, after two years of utter misery and loss. My kids are simply thriving YAY as a...

I lived with my parents until my first baby was 18 months old, and leaving them behind when my dh and baby moved was the MOST gut wrenching thing for everyone, especially my poor baby----I would never EVER sign up for that again. Dd and her dh actually prefer that I live next door----for child care ...

carpevita

I guess this is where I can disclose the newest family thing of all---dd and her dh have decided to make a baby! They have been anti baby since they started dating at fifteen, but now at the ripe old age of 33 they have decided they are too damn happy not to share their happiness! So the current ten...

Stranger things have happened! I know the chances of Bernie getting the nomination seem as slim as can be, but what if? What if he wins? I think he's enough of a statesman to represent us in the world, I think he has the integrity to not sell out, and I think he can make a difference. I think he's s...
