More like Jackson Pollock but he does look like he is very intent on it.

I have been working on slowly finding good homes for all my horses. DD came and got her horse and another mare over a year ago. I found a nice home for my oldest mare (this I really worried about because she is almost 20) a couple of months ago. My youngest horse is being leased by a very nice young (early 20's) lady. Finally, I have a few interested people in my seven year old. I have one gentleman who loves to do a lot of riding and loves training them. He lives a ways from me. I have another lady who was supposed to come over and see the horse yesterday but didn't make it for some reason. She lives in the next town over. A third person sent me a text last night inquiring about the horse. This is the text verbatim: "Hi how been I am very interested in your horse will you tack payments like half one week and then half the other week if that's OK with you" Um I think I will just say no to this third person.

Teila, nice to hear it's working.

Dsqard, and that's why one should always read their message before sending it. And maybe not lead with them being monetarily challenged.

Vehve I don't think they would see a problem with most of the text. They may realize they meant take instead of tack but even that is questionable.

Some of the posts here on BYC make me SMH.

Actually, when I first joined I was fairly impressed that the majority of people on here can spell and have good grammar.

It's also good to remember that not everyone posting here has English as their first language.




Joke of the Day


Subject: Fatal Mistake!

A man received the following text from his neighbor:

I am so sorry Bob. I've been riddled with guilt and I have to
confess. I have been helping myself to your wife, day and night when you're not
around. In fact, more than you. I do not get it at home, but that's
no excuse. I can no longer live with the guilt and I hope you will
accept my sincerest apology with my promise that it won't ever happen again.
The man who received the message, anguished and betrayed, went into his bedroom, grabbed his gun, and without a word, shot his wife
and killed her.




A few moments later, a second text came in:



I hate this **** autospell....Sorry, I meant "wifi, not "wife" . . .​

What does it say about our society when it's considered a wonderful thing that we have had 3 nights in a row where the police didn't fire a shot?

Here it wouldn't be worth it to repair a freezer unless it's under warranty or your home insurance covers it. They don't build the things to last like they used to either. My parents still have a pair of Miele's that are 25 years old, still work just fine. I'm guessing the amount of power they consume is humongous though.

How true this is. We 'inherited' an old chest type Sears freezer that my parents had used for 25 + years. We used it for an additional 30 years. Never a problem, but it ran continually and was an electricity guzzler. I don't expect that longevity out of our present freezer; of course, we won't need it.

Alaskan good luck with the monster.
