FWIW, I just sold a horse that flexed great. They Xrayed him per their farrier's request for baseline xrays for the future. He had some ringbone starting.

He was never lame and never had...

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm glad your baby is OK and that you had doctors that didn't WANT to intervene. I think my OBGYN would be good without interventions, but the CNM not so...

P90 vs P90X? Difference? I'm considering doing one after the baby is born but not sure where to start.

I want to "lean down" not "bulk up." Is that an option in these programs?

Thanks for all the input... keep it coming! For those of you that almost died/had children almost die, if you feel comfortable posting the circumstances around those incidents, that would be very...

Thanks for posting that... it seems like such an OBVIOUS solution but I just didn't see it. Forest, trees all that. I'm going to strongly consider this.

What I want to avoid ARE all the...

Thanks for the input guys. I really appreciate all your points of view.

I have watched The Business of Being Born and read several books. I really like my midwife, and she's transfered to our...

UPDATE PAGE 5

DH and I are expecting in April. We are considering a home birth but not getting much good feedback from my parents (or family for that matter). I have dual care with a CNM/OBGYN...

When mine takes off his slippers he puts them on a chair or on the couch.... What is wrong with the floor???? :confused: We have no destructive animals!!!

Or when he puts his boots on the boot...

Yes. We are.

DH is building, from scratch, largely by himself a barn with a 1500 sq foot attached appartment. On property we own that was given to us by his family. DH doesn't want to morgatge...

I wouldn't say that I had the WOW factor when I met DH. I had more of a very matter of fact "Ok, this is it" feeling. No fireworks or butterflies or weak knees. Just... "THIS IS IT."

And I'm...

Yep, and it sucks. Especially when the animals are scared or hurt or whatever before they're killed. THAT is what bothers me, that they are traumatized before they die. Not that they die. :no: ...

I agree wholeheartedly with your first point, about informed decisions. I find it hard to believe that some individuals, when presented with the facts, can continue to routinely eat (as in a day to...

And you know, that is fine with me. I find it to be quite a bit more extreme than I am comfortable with, especially when there is some anthropomorphizing going on.

But to each their own. My...

Chiming in here after reading the first three pages.

What I am struck by is that two of the ideologies for being vegetrarian are "I don't like what they put in our meat" and "it is cruel to...

I like your thought of "Can't Drive 55" :) Catchy and unique!

I have always wanted to live over a barn too.. now my dream comes true! I definitely want functional, organized, clean... it is the "entry" to our home in a way (stairs are in the tack room) so I...

We'll poach some room from the tack room, which is great because it creates storage under the stair cases. The stairs WILL have to have a turn in them.. I think we need to go up 11' so what is the...

Had to laugh about the "barn dong/pond" comment... we have THREE dogs that are always dirty/muddy/watery/yucky. They have their OWN couch at home. Just dogs, no people. The people have THEIR own...

Just came across this thread randomly tonight.... wondering if there are any updates from the OP?

Fortunately, this is a private barn for DH and myself. I would consider taking occasional boarders throughout the winter when we get an indoor, but then it is family friends only. The door at the...

I'm thinking a navy blue/dark blue... blonde wood, wrought iron/black steel accents. I'd like to do baker-print cushions.... Is the hunter green really dark or does it make the room feel small? ...

AWESOME! THIS is kind of the idea I'm picturing. I love the idea of hiding the washer/dryer. I may have to have DH build me a closet for that... It would stick out some from the wall but it would...

GORGEOUS! Probably a little over the top for us, but I've saved the picture as inspiration! It is the general idea though... Tack more as decor kind of....

Misty, to answer your questions...

It is kind of oddly shaped. It is basically a 24 x 24 square with a corner hacked off. Basically. The "short" sides are 12', and the diagonal wall is,...

We are FINALLY building our barn! Actually, we'll add the stall area on next summer but for now have the tack room, feed room, grooming stall area with aisle.

Above the tack room is a 1,300...
