Crap. I liked the house! And the horse property part was way, WAY better than I expected. Crap! Advice pleeeeeeeease!

Not perfect, but loved it. The land is astounding (all 1.1 acres is...

It kind of--no, not kind of--went off the rails for me last season. Some moments were truly laugh-out-loud ridiculous. We still watch it for the entertainment value of the ridiculous, and we do...

Again, great ideas and insights. The underpriced property didn't pan out as it apparently doesn't qualify for financing--it's in such a state of disrepair no bank would want to risk it. The selling...

...through my middle school's Super Fun Day activities revealed God's wisdom in not giving males of our species antlers. :lol:

Perhaps similar wisdom is why equivalent-age ungulates don't have...

We just bought a queen-sized natural latex mattress from Habitat Furnishings a month ago. (mroades, ours was just under $3000--we bought the foundation for it, too.) So far, so good. It's soft...

We'll be checking out our first property either today or this weekend. What blows is it doesn't have facilities--but it IS in a horsey neighborhood (several neighbors have barns, rings, etc.), and...

Some GREAT tips, thank you SO MUCH! Things I would never think of. We may or may not be in position to do this as soon as this summer...but if we do, you've definitely educated me! Thank you!

..adult beverages, medications, head exams? ;)

Depending on what our accountant and mortgage lender say, we may actually be looking at mini horse property this summer. :D I came here looking...

Me too--I was trying to find a thread I wrote back in the summer ("What was that product's name again?"), and was surprised it showed I had no results. I thought maybe things were cleaned out in the...

The simulation race was cool, but I had a hard time believing a race with speedsters War Emblem, Rachel Alexandra, and Shackleford battling it out for the lead would run 1/4 in :24 2/5, the 1/2 in...

My 4yro son, who has seen and heard me cheering for Zenyatta on the racedays, overheard the Eclipse Awards while he was playing and asked if Zenyatta won. I said she wasn't racing today--today they...

Nothing new to add (but another voice saying "Ick, get rid of the heat rock and get a lamp!")...just wanted to say bearded dragons are AWESOME! I've had turtles and snakes and blue bellies, and...

Bah. I never had a desire for children until my 30s, and neither did hubby. When people would ask us the inevitable question, "When are you going to have children?" we'd answer "When we want them."...

Heh, yeah Sarabeth, that freeway is a definite detractor. Where are your horses now?

I'm actually a bit relieved it's off the market--it ends my torture, heh. Now I'll just concentrate on paying...

Thank you for the house buying jingles, ladies!

Hey, the lottery for tonight is up to $200 million...and I don't need anywhere near that much! :lol:

Thank you, ladies! KateKat, my hubby does not want to sell as he sees it as a substantial loss. With what we put down on this house + what we'd have to pay to sell it, it's $150,000 lost over 3...

This is maddening. There is a horse property--very rare in my area of SoCal--that I have wanted for over a decade. It's 1.15 acres (HUGE around here), with a nice backyard for my two sons and THEN...

LOL, butterflies?! Oh man, horses are so awesome.

My going-on-23yro Arabian mare has worked hard her entire life to counter the "spooky high strung Ay-rab" stereotype. She is a alert and aware...

I'm not one of the more frequent posters, either, but since having my second son back in December (10mos old today!), I've been a leeeeeeeeeetle busy. Infant son, 4 1/2yro high energy older son,...

Sweet mother of pearl. COTHers, I need your advice on how the bleep to express my gratitude to two phenomenal horsewomen who literally came to my mare's rescue. I don't know if they'd want to be...

We all have our boarder horror stories, and while they are entertaining to read, every now and then exceptional positive experiences come along that warm the heart. I thought I'd share my recent...

"The horse does all the work" my BUTT. And my abs, and my biceps, and my triceps, and my feet, and my calves, and my thighs...

I had a baby in December 2009 following a most uncomfortable (though...

Blinkers On, what have you heard about Dublin being sore? I was impressed to see him finish well in fifth. I was thinking about Whirlaway watching him bolt.

I thought Super Saver looked...

I totally remember him. He was owned by AJ Foyt, who is a legend of Indy Car racing. My dad worked pit at Indy for a few years, and I actually got to meet AJ at one point around when Rare Brick was...

QM, yes, I've pried open her mouth and looked inside (much to her annoyance). Nothing appears off at all. Still, tooth was my first thought too, just by the bump's location. However, since she...
