My hay got delivered by 8:30 AM🤠🤠 They did stack it the way I asked but every other suggestion went right out the window🙄🙄 I asked them to take the push broom and sweep the loose hay off the trailer straight back off the end of the trailer into the yard. I would shovel up what I wanted, feed...

Except for feeding the horses and unloading 15 gallons of farm diesel from the Saturn, I have been a beached whale today. Early Tomorrow, Friday, hay is being delivered and stacked. I pay premium price for premium hay and for them to stack it🤯🤯 This year I have to pay a big fuel surcharge...

Yes, @John Brunner Inforgot about the crummy linkage. It was simple enough I knew how to fix it if I had to. That car didn’t go very far on any given day, lollol I can’t believe I found a foto of that old Rambler ANNND my precious Arab/Saddlebred that I raised/trained from birth!❤️❤️ Sonny...

I once had one of those Nash Ramblers🥰. It was my winter beater for one season, when I lived in NE Ohio and didn’t want to drive my new car on the salted winter roads. It was green with a three speed on the column. It was cold as hades to drive because the heater barely worked, but I was early...

Like others on here, I have been driving clutches since I was a kid on the farm. My old square body GMC was a three speed with a granny. The dually is a five speed. The F-150 is automatic. My Saturn is a five speed. I keep it because it’s paid off and nobody can steal it because they can’t...

@Mary Stetler that’s a great tip on the sen a tea and the grapefruit seed extract🤠🤠 Up until a few years ago, I did my own sheath cleaning, unless the vet was here to do teeth and the horse was drugged anyway. My one shoulder is shot and I can’t stay bent over for too long, so the lady who...

My iPad has lost its Internet umbilical cord. Since I have tried everything with no success, me thinks I’m gonna have to carry it with me to the Verizon store Monday. I am not messing with it anymore. I also am not staying on this cell phone very long. I am dictating so if spelling is bad, I...

@Ken Anderson thank you for a well thought out response. And thanks to everyone else as, from my perspective, it was good to clear the air regarding the other forum. Which I belong to but also stopped posting on there. I am neither right nor left politically and have no use for snarkiness...

The Derby was noteworthy for several reasons this year: 1. Golden Tempo came from dead last to win. 2. Renegade, the favored horse came in second, right beside Golden Tempo. 3. The jockeys of both horses are brothers and Renegade’s rider could be seen shaking his brother’s arm, while still...

Sorry Marie, My old age is showing🫣🫣 The noise and the raucous. Maybe I would have enjoyed it, if I had been there. My ears have always been sensitive, but they have become worse with age. It’s been eons since I’ve seen real fireworks. I can’t believe I don’t know about this magnificent...

That is funny now, but It wasn’t then, lollol. Believe this or not, I was surprised to find the Mississauga Swamp Rattlers that were in my area of NE Ohio ended up on the endangered list😳😳. I lived on the cusp of the Grand Valley and there were some really strange goings on in that vast area...

@Faye Fox I’ll betcha there aren’t too many of us who remember the real burlap bags and that some families wore clothes made from them, way back when. I probably had 50 of them when I moved the first time in the late 70’s. I knew I should keep them, but I couldn’t , so I gave them away.

@Marie Mallory please know you and Jake are still in my prayers —- there seems to be so many to pray for these days, including myself, that I don’t always remember everyone. I am in middle Tennessee and I wanted to provide this quote and the link it came from regarding hospice care. Hospice...

Except to stay above ground to see my last horse laid to rest, I don’t fret over it for myself. I have already lost nearly everyone that matters. My dad, my son, my husband in that order in the month of April, in separate years . My father-in-law and my SIL’s mom in May, and the list keeps...

I LOVED her!
