please ignore this post
I'm testing something, so please feel free to ignore this post. I'm trying to see if I have actually linked this to my Facebook page or if I am imagining things. Oh, and for those of you who might care, yes I now have a Facebook page, using the very same name my LJ is under. I don't want to be too easy to find. :) -
other less sad news
Huey has Equine Cushing's Disease. Less sad you say? Yup, because it is totally treatable. Basically, his pituitary gland has gotten too big and it overproduces hormones so he has too much cortisol in his system. Cortisol is a steroid and steroids are bad. They lower the immune system and left untreated, it leads to laminits. Laminitis is ( Read more... ) -
Donut Crack
I was originally going to name this post Donut Nirvana but I think this title is more accurate. I was also going to post this last Monday when I actually ate the donutes, but as you can see that did not happen either. Anyway, way back when I was a kid growing up in Ocean City when we stayed at our Aunt's condo on the beach, we would get these ( Read more... ) -
trip to AZ
We had a fabulous time in Arizona birding. Looks like we saw 143 species and I think 19 of those were lifers (for non-birders, that means we've never seen them before). We saw 7 species of hummingbirds in about a 30-45 minute time period at this one place in Sierra Vista, it was awesome. It didn't matter that there were thunderstorms on one side ( Read more... ) -
surreal day
The tragedy at Virginia Tech is just a bit too close to home. It is so surreal watching the news and thinking "I've been there. I recognize these places. I was safe there." It's horrifying and way too close to home. A coworker's brother teaches in Norris Hall. He was just down the hall when all this happened. Thankfully, he is ok, at least ( Read more... ) -
After 19.5 years, a first
Well, you would think after 19.5 years Huey and I would be out of firsts... guess what? We weren't. M. and I were riding bareback in the field because it is hotter than Zeus' balls out right now and our poor horses with their still-not-shed winter coats were roasting. I also wanted to take it easy with Huey because he was lame again last week ( Read more... ) -
lint explosion (and a side note on bird-friendly, organic shade-grown coffee)
I really shouldn't be amused by this, but I am. I probably won't be in an hour or so. Yesterday we decided to tackle the issue of why the dryer dries really slowly. The most likely culprit is 10-years worth of lint stuck in the dryer vent tube. The tube is the bad kind that isn't even code anymore with ridges and it does have a 90-degree bend ( Read more... ) -

Crazy Psycho Horse
Well, my horse has magic foot pads. He has not been himself since the farrier removed the pads back in November. The farrier said the soles of his feet looked great so gehe removed the pads. I attributed his less than spunky behavior more to the fact that he is 25 yrs old this year, has confirmed arthritis in 3 of four ankles(and I'd be shocked ( Read more... )
