Re: Please jingle for a friend
Glad she is getting better each day. She should never ride that mare again. I doubt if, even when she is better physically, she will want to swing a leg over.

Re: What do you have around your house from the old BB?
I have wonderful memories of staying at Chancellor's and going to a UDBB get together. While there, I met Scruffy and Thursday Next, and mwatikns, Val, and several other UDBB members whose handles I don't remember! That was a fun time and I wish I lived closer.

You have to look hard at trusts. They have both pros and cons and they are not for everyone. Of course you would be discussing this sort of thing with an estate attorney so don't ask me for specifics of the pros and cons because I don't remember!

Your weight is affected by your diet about 80%. 20% exercise. From what I have read, if you keep up with weights you should have the same muscle mass as you get older as you did when you were in your 30ies. You really have to work at it though, or you will lose it. Gaining 20 pounds in a short amoun...

In NY probate is cheap and quick. Even if you don't have a will, there is a succession defined, so you don't need a lawyer to declare you an an heir. For instance, if you only have one parent left and there is no will, and then that parent dies, you and your siblings are the heirs. Everything that h...

No shavings, no wraps - actually I never put anything on my horses's legs for trailering. I had a stock trailer with nice rubber matting. It's easier to hose out the trailer than it is to sweep out shavings, IMO.
