Unsolicited advice to take or leave. :D

I would suggest you encourage the student to talk to her mother without pushing either side. This is because the right decision totally depends on the mother-daughter relationship. In a situation...

Only on COTH. :lol:

OP, as others have mentioned it does not look awful. :yes: I agree with the suggestion to just let it grow to avoid doing more harm.

I'm starting at Clemson in the fall. :yes: All freshman, with the exception of those who live with their parents within a small radius of the school, are required to live on campus. You also have to...

One of my teachers had also taught in Germany. She couldn't believe how much less we learn in American schools. Not relative to the time spent in school, either. We (one of the [or the?] top-rated...

I think the people who are asking what one week of kindergarden matters are thinking about if someone above KG level missed a week of KG. It's the same as if someone in grad school studying something...

It is not nosy to ask someone riding with your organization to provide information about medical insurance. Nosy, at least IMHO, implies asking for unnecessary information, usually for no good...

I don't have a horse in this race, so to speak.

But when people say something negative about my discipline- I don't respond by pointing out the flaws in theirs. If they are wrong about what they...

...Or, it is used to "prove" that the expo center is "accepting guilt" for the accident.

Advise her to look near cities that are known for having riding. That way, even if she doesn't like the school's riding program (or there isn't one), she can ride.

Jingles from FL!

More tears and hugs. You are so, so brave.

Today, it was sleeting at home. Saturday, I go back to West Palm where it is in the mid-70's to live out the rest of the winter. :cool: I'm not coming back to this ice chest until mid-March.

ExJumper, I think she's just saying that with the combined space the ads and the stickies take up there are not many new posts showing, not that ads and stickies are related. :)

This triggers memories! :lol: I once was headed to a huge field mounted on what I thought was my assigned mount when, just before I picked up the pace, my instructor came jogging towards me with a...

I'm having my car shipped down the coast next week. If the shipping company conducted business like this, I would be hysterical. I can't even IMAGINE this with a living, breathing animal.

When I...

While I would expect a rider of this description to arrive in time to groom, tack and be mounted before the lesson time, I would tell the rider if she were expected to leave time to bring her horse...
