Don’t shoot the messenger. I’m posting the info for any folks who want to watch two hours of good music instead of all these fake YouTube videos, with all those angry faces in the glaring red & yellow banners/backgrounds. Also, FWIW, some of the proceeds from this special go to support The...

It’s on ABC in case anyone want to watch. For sure I will be watching it🤠🤠 https://abc.com/news/660d8155-6302-4e57-8a5c-f8854d4f1094/category/1138628

The cheap paper towels are also thinner. I still have one roll left at the barn and one sheet isn’t worth a pinch of salt to wipe the counter area where I mix the feed with water.😡 Another slap in the wallet is the candy bars kids have to sell for school. I paid two dollars for a 1.3 ounce...

Temps are low 40’s at night to mid 70’s in the day. Great from that perspective but Middle Tennessee is in desperate need of rain and none in sight for at least ten days. My county is 7.47” below average rainfall to-date. Farm crops are going to waste in some of the fields. My county is one...

Big money to the vet catalogues today: 1. Metacare by Equithrive for the fat horse leaning toward metabolic issues. 2. GUT powder form for the elderly thin horse; it addresses hind gut issues. He is also on Purina’s Outlast, that I buy from Tractor Supply, which “—Neutralizes Stomach Acid...

This thread is timely. The claws have really come out in the political ads last week, and this week is even worse. I can tell who’s running scared from the opposition because their claws have become sharper and deeper. When I look into their accusations, I find out most of them either...

I was raised on a small NE Ohio Dairy farm. From the age of four, I was dad’s hired hand because he couldn’t afford a real one. The joke regarding my poor cooking has always been that dad had a wrench in my hands before mom could get a frying pan in them. Arthritis is playing royal hael with...

“What is my comfort zone”. It is that I don’t think about it. I have a small farm, horses & dogs that need my attention. I dwell on them and give a prayer of thanks every single morning the Lord not only let me wake up, but let me wake up and still be me in the process. I guess one could...

Meanwhile, where I live, temps will be in the low 90’s now thru Thursday. +/-20 degrees above average. Then we will drop to slightly below average temps for several days. I have given up on seeing normal weather for longer than a three day stretch ever again🤯🤯

It had been barely to a CAT 3 right before it made landfall. It was a conundrum of a storm. The dirty side was on the west side, which that never happens. My understanding is that there was nothing on the east side - it was sort of like an upside down semi colon. There are fotos of that...

Except for feeding the horses and unloading the horse feed I bought yesterday, I have not lifted a finger. We do have a check-in on the horse forum for the folks in the path of Isaias. One gal got on her most trusted horse and pushed through a mile or so of downed trees on her road to check on...

Still waiting for some horse folks to check in on the horse forum. This one is in Florida. This is only part of the comment: “—- house where I kept my horses for a while is in rough shape. Trees down. Cow barn roof obliterated. The horse barn roof is struggling. —“ This person has no power...

Hurricane Isaias has reached Cat 3 status and due to hit a wide expanse of the Gulf Coast, 10-11 PM EST. While it will downgrade as it continues to travel NNE, it is going reach clear into KY, VA possibly OH. I already know to expect 30 to 45 mph wind gust, but where I live in middle Tennessee...

When I had cats, both the house cats and the barn cats ate Taste of The Wild’s Rocky Mountain kibble. My dogs have eaten Taste of The Wild’s Pacific Stream kibble ever since TOTW came on the market. My then Rottweiler and Lab/Sharpei stopped having digestive issues within a few days of going...

The Nashville meteorologist on every channel are already issuing wind warnings for us as the cone is supposed to be aimed due north toward us that will take in the Huntsville area if I’m not mistaken. Those of us that are caught in any degree of this storm on the horse forum are already...
