Yay! How does it feel to be divested of the business and a bit more out of the big city rat race???

We are, of course, expecting photos during the renovation. Living in an RV, you are a far stronger person than I

Jan & JP, I'll be interested in seeing comments on the printer. No, I can't justify the cost but always like to learn more. I would be curious what you'll be using the prints for? Fine art sales or portrait-type photo packages or ??

For your viewing pleasure

I would bet this seller gets more than a few riders at a non-refundable 'deposit' each from the newbie, first-time horse buyer who doesn't know they shouldn't do this and doesn't know they should get a PPE. I bet that the pressure will be on for a potential buyer to pay up the rest of the purchase p...

Not only would I not pay to go look at a horse but I'd also be very suspicious what is wrong with that pony that they are requiring a 1/3 non-refundable deposit to even come look at it...

WheresMyWhite

Tarlo, the way I'd think about it is that he is still the same kind, generous, sweet, funny person you knew before; he hasn't changed and it appears you've enjoyed his friendship (searching for the appropriate word). The only thing that has changed is something you've learned about him. Me, I'd just...

I think a very nice strategy. Sometimes venting to someone not as close to situation helps. I love the idea of the handpicked watercolors for cards!

The house cleaning is also a good idea for when she just can't *manage* and a clean house would be a lift.

I'd be in line with KathyK Card at home rather than salon. Do you know what type of cancer he has? Maybe a contribution to that specific cancer "organization" in support of research, care, etc. If you are comfortable, an offer (her call) of a shoulder to cry on, a hubby-sitting for her so ...

:( Arson can be very hard to prove as often much of the evidence is destroyed in the fire :( While it does sound like he is a viable suspect, he isn't guilty until he confesses or is proven guilty. I hope the owners did have insurance and that it will covers this loss (if it is indeed arson and not ...

Bad colics are scary!

Glad you were there to catch this one as it went bad. Hoping this nice mare recovers!

I though gift giving was in the giving, not in the spirit of getting reciprocal receiving.

IMO, either give gifts because you enjoy giving or don't give gifts at all.

Just me...

WheresMyWhite

Saddlebum, also remember, at least for me, the gift is in the giving and not the dollar value of the gift. That's why I suggested baking something... a gift from the heart that doesn't really equate to $. When it's been something like a wedding gift or similar, I might keep in mind value but also th...

WheresMyWhite

Saddlebum, glad you came up with a solution that helps you feel better which is important as well.

WheresMyWhite

Say thank you? :) If she is truly a good and close friend and she knew roughly what you spent on her gift and that your income is less than hers and she gave you something that would be a stretch for you to afford financially, accept it and be grateful that you have such a good friend. I doubt she i...

Chancellor, so glad to hear the good news. Cancer is survivable!!

Let us know what your next steps are and hope radiation goes smoothly for you as well.

You are often in my thoughts on your journey.

What I've seen when I was looking for possible "new to me" homes was some atrocious "furnishings" .... dirty dishes on the kitchen counter, dirty dish cloths hanging on the dish washer handle, clothes all over the bedroom. If I was either the seller/owner or selling agent, I'd ha...

WheresMyWhite

Suzon, you certainly have your plate more than full! We are, when you get settled in, expecting photos of the new digs in Oregon :) Thanks to all the home search/reno shows on TV, seems like many of today's buyers want all the trimmings on every home they see :( FWIW, when I had my home listed a few...

PS. If there are questions, concerns, issues with TOB, then probably best addressed there rather than here :) I am more than sure the COTH Mod1 doesn't come here to chase problems. There is a Help forum with a number of topics including how to do things, people reporting problems, asking how to do t...

WheresMyWhite

KM, you can go to the last post (I'd have to look quick to see exactly where it is). Or, what I do, is when I've read the forum, I go to the bottom and click the Mark Channel as Read (or whatever it says). Next time I come back, I click on first unread and go right to where I want. Perhaps a bit mor...

Have you gone to a mattress store and tried a Tempurpedic? I had fairly severe scoliosis and problems getting comfortable sleeping. I've had my Tempurpedic about 5-6 years and still very happy with it.

TOB has made many improvements in both readability and fixing bugs and issues since the switch to the new board software was implemented. Frankly, I think it's readable and I like some of the functionality better. I do miss the ignore and hope the software software developers get it fixed (this isn'...

Does the rim match the rims on the trailer itself?

If it is a spare, it probably should be the same size and load rating as the actual trailer tires... I'd start there

I'm still on the fence about my IP. It's still in the box it came in :oops: I haven't used my crock pot since I discovered how wonderful things come out in my dutch oven. I keep looking for "easy" recipes and still haven't found any IP recipes that are both easy and appealing. I'm not a hu...

I can't speak to the desert proper but I volunteer at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. It seems to me that flowers (wild such as they are in a bit more controlled environment ;) ) and the cactus are maybe blooming a bit earlier. We've also been in a bit of a heat wave and that can also inspir...

Canyon, thank you !!!

I suspect I can adapt to a more conventional method of cooking if I don't break out the IP

WheresMyWhite

Grrrrrr... wanted to read the recipe (short ribs with wine and chili) as it sounded intriguing as well as the comments about what works and what doesn't work as well in the IP. No, I am not creating and account nor am I logging in via either Google or FB. I already get too many ads in FB and don't l...

I know it won't make anything "better" but here in the SW, we are working on above average temps for this time of year... weird for sure.

WheresMyWhite

More complicated I'm not so sure about... add rice and water to bowl, put bowl in cooker, press 'Timer'. Done. I guess with the Timer option, I don't care if it takes 20 minutes or 45 minutes :) I never can get rice cooked the way I like it on the stove top... Zoji cooks it perfect for me (even at h...

WheresMyWhite

My Zoji takes maybe 35-40 or so minutes for white rice (I"m not a fan of brown). Maybe that is forever?? I dunno, seems timely enough for me

I tell it when I want the rice done, add H2O and rice and hit timer and it's done when it says it's going to be done

FWIW, any one single attorney may *not* have a copy of the entire will. If the will was changed over the years using different attorneys, the entire will may not have been re-drafted, just the changed sections.

When I was younger (much) went to an airshow when I lived in CA (and shooting film to date myself ;) and got some great photos of jets in the air (Blue Angels) including one that without the forget-the-name thing that advanced the film as long as the shutter was pressed of the two Angels that were f...

VLF, RTR, et al I'm looking for thoughts, opinions, suggestions, etc. In a few weeks I'll be going to an aircraft museum and will be wanting to take photos of some the aircraft.

Heaven knows this area is pretty far from my area of expertise... I have what is called a revocable living trust (I believe it is) so the trust doesn't really exist until my death.

Quelah, sometimes I think "holistic" is an overused word but I think DOs are just trained more in looking at the overall body and treating the person rather than just the body part being complained about :) Maybe "organic" is a better word? :) I used to think DOs were too touchy-...

My estate attorney recommended a revocable trust but now I don't remember why. I am thinking I want to make some other changes to my will so may ask current estate attorney what his thoughts are (makes me feel slightly nauseous to think about changing it as the trust is the title name on my car and ...

In a former life, the hubby of the lady that used to style my hair did only elementary school photos and the occasional high school portrait. Good $$ for him. He had his own printers so didn't have to pay to ship photos out. When I started use her, he did film and had a second hand processor and sta...

My trust will pay out a certain amount per year for the care of my horse, not a fixed amount.

3. Every state is different where wills and probate are concerned.

Mareless, I would agree with everyone above.

But yes, strong. You are fighting through probably one of the hardest things you'll deal with in your life and you're still fighting and have not given up!

A Gambel's Quail (one of the, IMO, silliest birds

).

I love all these desert birds that are perfectly fine using nasty looking spines for perches

I have one of a curved bill thrasher perched on the top of a barrel cactus. He was using spines as perches and kept sliding down and having to re-adjust his grip (I'll have to see if I can find it...)
