Headline on CNN video today:

"She Helps People Die in Piece"

I'm afraid to read. . .

Koolkat

Just to clarify - is this "Fluffy Buns Do Dressage too"? Or something like that. . .

Koolkat

She must be so pleased and proud of her son - a parent's joy. May sharing the holiday together at home bring peace and happiness to Fluffy and her loved ones.

and perfect timing with the ingredients because I decided to try this terrine : http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/dec/13/nigel-slater-pre-prepared-seasonal-dishes That's a very interesting idea, nice presentation - you're far ahead of me in your culinary adventures! How did it turn out?

We only lost our power for ~24 hours last Wed/Th - and that feels like dodging a bullet when we've had it go out for as long as 5 days in the past. It's been several years since we lost power and while I wouldn't wish flooding, etc., on anyone, the weather the past few years has been downright odd. ...

It would be fun to have a member's Horse of the Month picture up there. . . . . deciding which horse it would be might require a committee though. . .

This is a really good documentary. Mark Bittner also has a website devoted to the birds.

Canyon, that's a beautiful bird!

When we lived in town in Seattle, we were visited by a small (it grew over the years!) flock of green conures at our bird feeder. The Seattle weather was similar to their native habitat in the Andes and a few(?) escapees were breeding at nearby Seward Park (which actually has some old growth in it)....

So I pulled 2 "Fulfill a Wish" cards from our company Christmas tree. One is for a toaster, the other for a Men's winter jacket (sz M). So I am contemplating getting a toaster oven, rather than a toaster. I'm thinking more versatility, and I'd like to over fulfill their wishes. I did wonde...

I think that is a wonderful idea, and a gift which only a family member could give. I hope the exchange brings common memories and closeness to you and your family.

Many condolences to you and your loved ones, may your family find peace and strength in each other during these days.

This is what white looks like here (although the white tones are not quite right due to lights/flash), but I suspect this is a very different effect (rereading your description) from what you have: 041 (360x640).jpg Excuse the mess, I should be cooking dinner, not playing on DDBB. . . . . :mrgreen:

I like white, it lightens up a room and for me, looks "clean". We replaced a black dishwasher with a white one (and an "in wall" microwave also), and it made a huge difference in the lighting effect. We just put in a new cast iron enamal sink and used bisque for that (thought whi...

Using "kind of" and "sort of" to modify a word when you mean "somewhat", etc. - I am accused very guilty of this abuse. Sloppy. . . .

I refer to "chestnuts" when I am referring to the anatomical feature or referring to "a horse's chestnuts" or "horses' chestnuts" as they have more than one/horse. But in referring to one specific chestnut (like this) on a horse's leg, I would call it a chestnut - not n...

I've never had a joint injected, but I have been told that it is rather painful immediately thereafter, but after that initial discomfort is gone, the difference in comfort is often a new lease on life. Of course, if you saw no effect within a week or two, it would appear that is not what your horse...

Been is the past participle of "to be". Therefore, one could say "I've never been IN Paris" or "I've never GONE to Paris". But because you can't say "I am to Paris" it's odd that saying "I've been TO Paris" is common in Englisn. By the way, if you s...

The warm spot gives it away every time.

Once on a cold night, our GSD tried to pull the quilt off the bed!! When we were in it! We got her a blanket of her own the next day.

Stumbled across this while shopping for Thanksgiving cranberry ideas.

Could we please discuss further and farther?

Lest I further err farther down the road.

Oh Em, so happy she was able to go peacefully and quickly. What a beautiful picture, many condolences.

A little late to the feast, but this is very good and in season! Also requires an oven, but there's always another day.

We have one stall with mats on concrete. Two stalls with mats over dirt (in the wet Pac NW and no problem) which is not really my preference. In the other stall, we dug down ~one foot and put in ~6 inches gravel and packed it (mechanically). Over that we put 6 inches of clay (and packed mechanically...

Can we share ideas? I saw a free range organic goose at the store today. If we didn't have plans for TD already, we would have brought her/him home. But can Christmas be far behind? So, goose is looking interesting. Does anyone have any suggestions for preparing? I seem to recall they are quite fatt...

Again, my point is this: don't try to simplify this--there are many factors involved, only one of which is hatred of the West. And much of that hatred is also injured pride: Islam was supposed to be the ascendant civilization and they failed. I bet if there was some way you could just explain to th...

More on ISL from this morning:

Islamic "radical" fundamentalism and ISL are not synonyms. ISL is a subset of radical fundamentalism and actively seeks (declares) to establish a caliph/caliphate and "end times". "In November, the Islamic State released an infomercial-like video tracing its origins to bin L...

The US was instrumental in the formation of ISIS when we parachuted in to Iraq, sent the Iraq military/Bathist (Sunnis) home with their arms (and no jobs) and then put a Shite (Malaki) in power who was entrenched in religious sectarianism. They went to Syria to fight Assad/Iran (Shite). In broad bru...

It's not the length of the neck which might be a problem. It's the whole package. Conformation, temperament, movement, willingness to go. I agree. I have a mare with a short neck, and when I got her (green 6 year old), it was tending toward upside down (from Abgar line). But otherwise, she was extr...

The evening after we took our beloved GSD in to be PTS, I sat in the living room alone, feeling the emptiness of the house without her forever presence at my side/feet. As I sat there, the fireplace broom starting gently swinging on the utensil stand, a quiet summer evening with the broom swinging b...

I've never seen hives that are the size of marbles in terms of "elevation". I have seen bug bites that look like that. Any chance all the moisture brought out a new crop of mosquitoe? Spiders fleeing the low ground, etc?

My Dad came out to visit (his last time away) and had suffered from Parkinson's for 15+ years. He was still mobile, but his cognitive functions were relatively low and his meds also muddled his mind.

May want to look into finishing/processing, etc. if you care about such things. We have an "Ikea office" and one of the first things I do every morning is go in and open the window. I can still smell the stuff after 15 years. . . .

So true, had to remind myself of this yesterday at work.

The high salt or high sugar treatments are about osmotic pressure drawing "liquid" out of the foot.

I think the point of the grass question is the widening of the white line which would facilitate debris migrating up under the wall. . .

But not forgotten.

And glad to see so many familiar faces! Many thanks, Chance!
