P.S. I've been "accused" of being gay my entire life. Does gay really encapsulate a certain look? It's such a shame people can't just be gay if they are indeed gay, and those who aren't must be chided and questioned if they have "that" look.

Funny how that works... like I said the gay people I have known you would never be able to "identify" by their looks....

So we do what makes us happy and thats I personally strive for in my life... Fire the people who are toxic to you... not worth the effort. Never been married... But have a 28 year old son... I spend my days care-taking for my 101 year old grandmother... Not that she needs much... firecely independant... LOL. Right now my health is iffy so am focusing on that...

Once my health gets straigtened out. I will go back to working with my horse and living my retirement Raising Chickens and Guineas and the odd duck... and Going for the occasional drive in the desert. Horse drawn vehicle...

Horses can be very therapeutic. Do you board your horse or is she on your property? I'd love to be friends with a horse. I'm a bit afraid riding them, but I'd love to sit under a tree with a book and read aloud to a horse.

The things I say on BYC. How I haven't been shunned yet, I don't know.

I have her boarded right now but when i move back home I will bring her home with me. She loves people and will pester you... IF I sit on my walker in the corral she tries to move me around....LOL

I have lain on horses backs and watched the clouds go by... I have had horses now for fifty years.... Been thrown off too. part of the whole process unfortunately.

If there is a therapudic riding program in your area you might just drop in and see if they need volunteers... Learn how to brush and work with them on the ground... just touching them gives you a profound sense of the world... I so miss my girl..

Here is the last picture taken of us about a month or two ago.

Oh, what an adorable beauty!!

The horse, too!!!

The photo of you on your walker next to your darling horse made me teary eyed. It's a touching photo and would be incredible as a painting.

When I was a little girl in Ohio, we visited an old dirt road town where people dressed up as if they were still living in the time period the town flourished. I was allowed to choose something from the gift shop, and I chose a black iron horse. I still have it, and I loved the books Black Beauty and Misty and have some vintage copies on my bookshelf.

Until a few days ago I also had a hitching post behind the workshop. No corral or barn, no fencing, no nothing aside from a collection of rusty horseshoes my husband found here and there on our land with his metal detector. But by golly we had ourselves a hitching post.

Here, let me describe a gay woman for you:

Tall, thin, flat chested, shaves her hair to a mere half an inch long, NO makeup, prone to forested legs and other body parts, loves Ellen DeGeneres, loves rainbows.

Yep? Nope. I just described myself.

When I started clearcutting my hair five years ago, my mom was so angry she would turn her nose up in disgust every time I made eye contact with her. My dad wrote a poem called "My Daughter the It."

I'm a forty-seven year old It, people. And to prove my itness to you, a three year old in a sparkle tutu and princess shirt turned around at the grocery store a few years ago and asked me, rather loudly, "Are you a boy?"

I love how we educate children to think all women have Barbie boobs and wear makeup and fairy princess outfits.

Does this look like a boy to you, or does she look like someone who is merely different and maybe dances to her own crafty little tune in the woods?

You just described me to a tee except for the height I'm only 5'4".

The first time I cut my hair my dad who I grew up with didn't even recognize me I was about 19 at the time.

Yesterday was my turn. Grand daughter and her boyfriend (who does not know me, YET) showed up to pick up a dining room table. He first suggested that perhaps he and GD should carry the table. He then told me how we should put the table in his truck. When I asked if he had brought bungee cords along, he asked, "Why?" Umm, to secure the chairs ? (Yes, I had bungee cords ready to go.) I asked the GD if she had warned him about me. She said, "Oh, he'll soon figure that out." I wanted to say, "Don't judge me because of my age, and I won't judge you because you are a lawyer." Don't think this kid has a sense of humor. Tough to survive in this family without one.

I'm old. That doesn't mean I am physically infirm or mentally deficient.

Yep.... There is another preconception... age... or apperance of age. Have pitty on the poor boy... hes not mechanical.

Work smart not hard....

I wear my Air Force Veteran hat a lot. Several times I have had people tell me to thank my husband for his service. I've usually replied that I'll let him know (He's a Navy Submarine vet) but that the hat I was wearing is mine... and I get a shocked look.

Yes, women can and still serve in the military!!!

Actually he did a great job of positioning the chairs in the bed of the truck. I said, "Hey, if this lawyer thing doesn't work out, you could always go into furniture moving." I don't think he found that humorous.
