    A local guy has hives all over the area, including one on my neighbor's side of our property-line fence. I mow within a few feet of the back of his hive and have never had a problem, and the other...

    I like the idea of horse profiles. I think most people who'd like to try hunting are wondering how their horse would like it, if they'd have to get a horse just for hunting, etc.

    Not shedding by now is pretty odd. Nutrition, disease, ulcers? Any could cause the behaviour, too.

    If it's only things behind her and she always reacts the same way, I agree with having her...

    I have a guy with three socks, and the dark foot is his 'problem' one. YMMV, but conformation and nutrition have mattered a lot more than color in my herd.

    I'd add to make sure you maintain the spare tires on both the trailer and towing vehicle and they're decent quality to begin with. Spares are often located where they get a lot of road grime on them...

    You've had some good advice. Just take it one step at a time, being careful not to overwhelm him, and make sure he understands what is and is not acceptable behavior. Make sure you set up a quiet...

    I worked with a big old guy named "Trash". Not because he was, but because of what he used to do to riders when he got annoyed.

    There was also an awkwardly-built PerchX named "Lurch". The name...

    You might be thinking of black walnut. The wood is toxic enough that just standing on the sawdust is very bad for a horse.

    I'm sorry you had that experience. I've only gone to PPs near the colleges I attended. While they make it clear that BC and STD screenings are available and may be a good idea for certain...

    Yup, yup, yup, and YUP! And, I have to add, Toby Keith comes off as an angry chauvinistic a-hole.

    Yes, they do. I've never had a family gyno, just went to the closest PP.

    YMMV on the doctor, since you never know who you're going to get if you don't ask for specific people. I did have one...

    Definitely a make it a screen play! So many awesome characters, actors would be elbowing each other in the head for a part.

    "Big Balls" by AC/DC. Bad the first time, ice pick to the brain on the thousandth repetition. One of the kids on my school bus played it over and over, every single day.

    I hope your mom would be supportive of an annual pelvic exam. It's good sense, regardless of whether or not you're sexually active.

    You need one anyway to get a BC scrip. So, your out-of-pocket...

    If you guys have that much going for you, then "ride it out and quit stressing". Enjoy each other and to hell with whether anyone else thinks you're too old or he's too young. *Every* relationship...

    Snort. I've finally progressed to the point where chit-chat is merely work. Try TERRIFYING. Imagine if every social interaction you have, even something as innocuous as "Paper or plastic?", feels...

    I have a wonderful, stable marriage with an even bigger age gap.

    BUT, I've also changed so much since my 20's, I've really wondered if DH and I could have made it work if we'd met 10 years...

    Given my early taste in men, I'm incredibly thankful I didn't marry the guy I was engaged to in my early 20s. We weren't good for each other, but kind of fell into that 'comfortable enough' situation...

    I've wondered for a while if snobbishness wasn't a bit more common in stores that sell horse stuff than in stores in general. (Not that horse people are EVER snotty and look down on other breeds or...

    My sister is the sort who can't stand any discomfort in herself or anyone else and her picture would probably come up if you typed "smother" into Google. Her son, at 17 months old, can...

    When he's home, he gets up in the middle of the night to take the puppy out. He also does dishes and vacuums without being reminded. And, I've learned to ask before feeding because he'll often head...

    My guy (3-4 yr old GSD I got from the pound/rescue around age 2) was SO much happier once I got him a friend. Actually, she was a 6+ mo old GSD mix puppy someone abandoned near my dad's farm.
