Don, the BF, has left.........after going over a mental inventory of everything he needed in his truck, catching the few items he forgot, making sure he had his phone, wallet, debit card, tent instructions..........he is on his way to Dolan Springs!!!!

I just hope he doesn't realize my birthday is tomorrow and comes back home.............please, stay in Dolan!!!!! He can consider this a birthday present for me!!!!! I won't be totally relieved until he calls and tells me he's there and his tent is up!

Cross your fingers, kids!!!!!

Hi daisymae. How are you feeling now?
Our poor daisy has broken her shoulder (or her humorous? bone) when she fell off a chair while trimming a hedge.
Can you post anything?

Oh no!!!!!

My daughter just texted me a pic of the dead colt. He looked exactly like his sire. Perfectly formed, dark bay with a white star and 3 white socks. I am not cut out for this.

The attached link/pic is a pic of the sire for reference. I am devestated.

Oh Zuri, I'm so sorry and unforunately all I can do is sending you & your daughter lots of warm hugs.

 

[Bernina]

Good morning all. Hope everyone that is down and out gets better very soon.

One day closer!!

Love that Happy Lady Gaga! I hope things are going better for you, Kensie!!!!!

Bernina, thanks for the advice. It turns out the colt was a filly. No decomp. Filly is going for a necropsy at New Bolton (University of Pennsylvania). My vet is one of the best breeding vets on the East Coast and get the best of vet care. Both mares were vaccinated at all stages. It may be nothing more than bad luck that I lost both foals. As a horse lover and owner, I am just sad. I think it is time to walk away as some dreams are meant to be just that, dreams.

Nooo, Zuri, please don't give up following your dreams!

Dreams are wonderful and as I have said before, some must be given up for whatever reason, but there are new dreams that will come for you, I'm sure of it. You have had your dream of your horses for a while and that was good for however long you had it, but I do understand being sad and mourning for what was.

Things are always changing in anyone's life- some good and some , unfortunately, bad. It's just part of life, IMO, and these changes must be endured or you will "break" ("Bend as the trees in the wind or you will break" ~ Y/N). For myself, I now take my life only as "this day" now that I have gotten older- there is no "10 years" from now in my thoughts- no long time planning of my dreams anymore. This doesn't make me sad tho' as I'm happier and grateful with just "this day" and waking up to another day. To me, there is less stress that way.

I do have one dream and that is for my younger son to finish grad school next year so he is ready to battle the world with a masters degree under his belt. I have tried to help him in anyway possible to attain his dream of being a Hospice Social Worker, but that is his dream, and the young should dream big, IMO, because they are young and with God's help/will, the young will have plenty of time to follow their dreams. I feel that after he graduates, I have done my job and can just relax to enjoy what my life has become and is. I am happy and you will be too after a while.

My poor Zuri, my friend. :therethere: Take heart. I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby horse (again). :sigh:

Wonderful post, thank you, YoN!

Here is something unbelievable and just wrong, IMO:

"A three-judge panel of the Arizona Court of Appeals has declined to halt a pending trial, where accused child molester and ex-Minuteman leader Chris Simcox will be allowed to cross-examine his alleged child victims..."

Bernina is right- there's something in the water in Arizona. :sheesh:

JMO-I just read the phoenix news times article posted above. I don't think there are words for how wrong this is. It's been a long time since I've been this shocked.

Nor,, Buffy is a cat, right? About three months ago wee were sure we were losing our 15 year old, cat. She would not eat or drink, we did not see her potty, she just laid in one place all day. She never was one for canned food, but I was desperate. I put a teaspoon of mushy soft can food in a little bowl with @ 1/2 cup ofwarm water.... she started lapping the juice and ate small bits of the food. After about three days she started prancing sbout the house as proud as can be. She has chosen the fluffy cat bed as her perch (she would never be caught in it before). She is now spoiled and cries for her warm wet food. She nibbles on dry food, but laps up the juice of the mix every day.

Maybe be you can try putting any soft food with warm water to make a juice and she will try it? Thinking of you and hoping your Buffy gets better. I know how worried we were.

Hi Spellbound. Buffy is a dog, Cocker Spaniel partie colored. He is a Shelter. He seems to be doing a lot better . Dr. sent him pills for colitis. he didn't potty yesterday, I make the cooked chicken same as you suggested, think he's tired of it. Dr. did say his kidneys and liver are fine. I was up all night couldn't sleep. just watched him breathe. Thanks for caring. I am like a mother hen!!

Good Morning Sidebar Friends!
:loveyou:
While enjoying my second cuppa C(h)OCK FULL OF NUTS, the heavenly coffee, I thought I'd pop in and remind everyone (like we would forget, right?) that JA sentencing is in
5
more days, then....

Buh Bye Jodi
:jail:

Hey, you guys have my interest peaked with the Chock Full o' Nuts Coffee. What is it about it that is better than other coffee's ? I'm thinking of trying it out.

 

[neesaki]

I use a mixture of almond flour and Braggs 24 seasoning and sauté in olive oil with a pat of real butter. The best- even my kids love it.

Hi Frigga, I've had almond flour sitting in my pantry for a while but haven't used it yet. :/ Can you tell me what you use to moisten the fish with before putting it in the almond flour ? TIA :seeya:

The old swamp cooler, lol! Works just great till monsoon season kicks in!
If that had been the case, TA's home would have smelt really bad within 12-18 hours. Part of a swamp cooler working well is constant pushing of warm air out of the house as cool, moist air is pushed into it. You always had to have windows cracked a bit, and later on in the 80's, install "up ducts" because those cracked windows invited easy access for burglars.

The population growth of Arizona can be correlated to the affordability of air conditioning in the late 60's, early 70's. But it sure was fun as a kids, to play in the cold water that ran out of the swamp cooler during a hot day!

I think Jodi will be miserable. Come rainy season, her clothes will be a sticky, hot mess, and showers won't give her more than a brief relief. It's gonna suck to be her. I hope she swelters in it.

Ya know, most folks outside NM and and AZ don't know the U.S. has a "monsoon season".. LOL!

Off topic but here in California we have forgotten what rain even looks like! Just blue skies, day after day after day...my kids are in their late 20s and for most of their lives have grown up under drought situations. Back to topic...and thank you so much again for the post about Troy Hayden following the prison van to Perryville. Somehow I'm sensing I won't be getting much work done on Monday...

CFON is a good budget option to high-end coffees.

You are welcome. Many of us won't be getting anything done Monday except following the JA sentencing and all that's associated with it. I've a huge X marked through Monday on my calendar

Is it really true that Troy is going to follow the prison van????? I cannot wait to watch - hopefully it will be televised. How far is it from Phoenix to
the killer's new home???
