When I trailered, no shavings (my rubber mats had grooves in them. Pee would flow out.) Shipping boots for short trips, just to avoid boo boos. Actual support wraps for longer trips (We were Pony Club. We'd learned how to do pillow wraps right). Head bumpers for the tall guys. I had careful horses a...

Kudos to Boots! The closest march to me was 1 hour away. We had approx. 200 people and for this part of Illinois (Western IL, tri-state area; IL, IA, MO) I was surprised and pleased that we had that many. But every one counts! Did you see some of the pictures from the tiny marches? They were so swe...

Huh. So, some random (critical) person on the internet demands to know the names of the organizers of the marches in the Bay Area, so she can play policeman? Firstly, I will say if you were *there*, you would know. If you did the *work* you would know. Secondly, I will say that the names are undoubt...

Have you seen the pussy hats? I don't think they are what you think they are. A bit of double entendre to the name. Oh tbey were definitely what i thought theyvwere and worse. You've got to be kidding. They've been around for decades/centuries, and in any other color are called "knit caps"...

Of course, nowadays, we can't be sure anything we read or see is accurate. I think though that there is enough evidence out there that Soros money is behind some of the demonstrations. I never said nor insinuated that anyone was 'manipulated' ( :roll: Tuffy) into marching. All these marches had to ...

Some sources say the money is coming from Soros. They say he contributed 90 million to the women's march and was behind the organizers of it. Ha. 90 million bucks would have been quite a nice salary for about 20 on our local team, and I know for a fact they hand raised every penny. So, you can take...

Pretty nice hanging. Mine would not have so much blue in it.

I saw that. Problem with that idea is Trump could release something the day before, and all the work (and money) would then look like an also-ran. I think Trump should release his taxes, it goes without saying, but I don't think thousands of marchers should allow themselves to be put in a position o...

We were required in our permit to clean up, and had plenty of volunteers who helped us do it.

Yes, they block off trash cans to avoid easy access to bombs. They get unlocked at the end. Precaution, you know?

We are going to be sprinkled on, but the big rain is scheduled for later in the day. Our sign ups have leapt to 20,000 people. Even if only half come, we're 200% of our original estimate.

boots-aregard

I was originally worried that any possible rain would severely reduce our numbers. (Our permit is for 5000 people). Now I'm kind of praying for rain, because our sign ups have us at double the number, and climbing. There is no way our 4 measly food trucks can serve the ravening hoards! PR ramps up t...

Very funny, Shirrine. So good that your recent trials have not diminished your sense of humor.

I'm busy finding food trucks to serve 6000+ people. But I did go to my sign making party last night and my sign reads "This is the Only Planet we get". The "O" is the earth. The way I figure things, there are people who voted for trump for, say, personal economic reasons: they ar...

Not to anthropomorphize, but we communicate with them via touch (hands, legs, weight). "Makes Sense" they might communicate with us in the same way.

I wonder how they come up with the "expected participation" on that sisters march site. I know what our permit reads. We won't know until the day of, of course, but I'm curious if they are using the permit's number or if it's just some estimate of percentage of population in an area or som...

I'm very unhappy that our country has gone straight from accusation == proof, personally. And with the biggest helping of outrage possible, on the side. We've seen this crap too many times.

I don't care about someone's sexual proclivities and I'd say that about anyone in office, regardless of party. Stuff about his staff? Proof, please. I don't NOT believe it, but I don't believe it just because it's Trump, either. We required proof about Clinton (and didn't get it). Let's see proof ab...

I just wanted to add that I had down sized too. I started with ponies as a kid and am back to riding a large pony.

I work in the social/political activism and fundraising arena.

I'm just glad you aren't asking from whence these things spring (as I originally thought you might be asking). I'm so old I couldn't answer _that_ question! -What are your assumptions about the direction of your country? What do you like and value? What do you fear? I'm an introvert, so I don't part...

The rock, to which you refer, is actually bursting with cash money. They've been raking it in hand over fist for the past 4 decades. Not sure what you mean here. There has been no dirth of productivity in the U.S. economy since 1970. It's just that the rewards of the U.S. economy have been sequeste...

If there are little to no manufacturing jobs and only a service type economy, how is a strong labor movement going to help? Typically, labor unions work where laborers are seen as roughly interchangeable widgets. A knowledge worker has skills that are important to the employer upon which to negotia...

These jobs DO need to be filled but ought to be filled as part time jobs for the younger generation. However, I see a LOT of younger generation kids thinking that kind of work is beneath them or they find it too hard to be on their feet all day! I think it is important to remember this when talking...

But back to the topic at hand, I do often wonder if there really are such huge differences in the quality of life between rich and poor, or if we all get pretty much the same amount of pleasure and pain simply because that's the way the human mind works? So is someone like Trump, who has everything...

But back to poverty - I think the original point is to discuss those 1/2 of all US jobs with wages that have barely increased compared to the top 1% and how that affects society. I think that it will ultimately be society's undoing. What made America so wealthy in the 20th century was not the CEOs ...

We don't see it that way. Ours (under the Bay Area banner) is non partisan and we have applied for our 501(c)(3) designation so we *can't* be partisan. What we are doing is essentially saying, "We have issues, and there are a lot of us." Now, granted, we have many issues, and each individu...

Anybody here involved? Going? I wanted to go to Washington, but figured it would be a rather big push up with all the people in town, so I switched focus to my local march and am doing some logistics organizing for them. Our hashtag is #WhyIMarch, my response being "Because my grandkids need a ...

A fascinating, slim little volume of information by Peter Edelman, a lawyer and policy wonk specializing in poverty, written in 2012. About the economics of poverty in America.

The other thing it depends on is, is there a tack store nearby that keeps stock on hand?
