    For people to jump over the cliff like that is irrational.

    What did your friend say? Perhaps she had not explained clearly enough to the mare that you, too, were to be regarded as the boss. Perhaps the mare was just probing to see where you were in the herd...

    I saw fresh posts here and in refreshing my recollection of the thread and glancing through them, I found intriguing the unwillingness of some horses mentioned after a while to allow themselves to be...

    I'm not normally a slogan t-shirt kind of guy but saw one in a mall store window last summer and a wicked impulse pulled me in and forced me to buy it. I may be the only guy over 50 who ever bought...

    If he were leering at you I'd say that was pretty weird, yes, but sometimes people carry invisible history with a lot of emotional charge to it into chance encounters. Elderly people are especially...

    Keep the money. #(@% the truck. Hannahsmom and others are right about unexpected repairs. What's more if your brother is as much of a cipher as it sounds, almost certainly he didn't maintain it very...

    Provided that people stick to facts and don't emote, it could be educational. The trainwrecks arise because of the polarization.

    Giving Delaney the benefit of the doubt, I think this must be a rite of passage for COTH. I think I had just stopped being a greenie when I made the leap.

    There's an alternative that doesn't have the adverse financial impact.
