Nilia said...: I think Blogger ate my goodnight post, or maybe it'll post it twice later.

Anyway, goodnight!; April 21, 2010 at 1:17 AM
Karen said...: Robin, I do accept your apology and thank you for doing it opening in SIP where the disagreements all took place. I am more than willing to put the past behind and start fresh. We can agree to disagree on certain things, and even if we discuss them, it seems as if we eventually come to a conclusion that we disagree and move on, and I think we should do that again. I didn't ever say that you insist or expect everyone to embrace or share your opinions at all.. and you shouldn't have to apologize for them either, none of us should.

I appreciate your apology, I accept your apology, and if I said anything that was offensive or taken wrong by you for any reason in the latest discussion, I also apologize.

Like I said, I believe you are a very intelligent, caring, *headstrong in a good way* person and have enjoyed many conversations with you in the past, and would welcome you to chat here and have the same types of conversations and sharing. Will you always agree with everyone? of course not. Will you butt heads once in a while, of course. But thats real life... I think this type of a forum to chat in real time with so many other people of various walks of life is what makes it so entertaining and interesting!; April 21, 2010 at 1:17 AM
Lisa said...: Ginger, thank you for the Tweeting thing!; April 21, 2010 at 1:17 AM
Karen said...: SW Goodnight and Mama Sox is gonna win the whole damn thing, I love her!; April 21, 2010 at 1:18 AM
Robin said...: SW--I have no problem seeing the parts that fit. I have already "woned" those. There are many that don't.; April 21, 2010 at 1:19 AM
Robin said...: And Karen, in all fairness, I never told you to "move on."

In saying that, you perpetuate an untruth about me. And you do it intentionally.

Go back and read whatever I have said. I never "told you to move on."

Seriously.

Sheesh.; April 21, 2010 at 1:21 AM
KaytieJ said...: AP - I don't Twitter. E-mail me please or better yet text since I am on iPhone right now.
FT! FT! FT! I have missed you so much!
Melissa - Thank goodness you are not dead! :-)
Ginger - Welcome!
HD - So good to hear from you! I bragged on you (or rather your work) at work about the line covers!; April 21, 2010 at 1:22 AM
Lisa said...: It ate my post, thanking Ginger and all.

R2, does this mean you think that anyone who wanted to discuss anything about Daisy should have done so here, only? If so, thanks for that. I agree.; April 21, 2010 at 1:25 AM
Lisa said...: Okay. Blogger sucks. We aren't even changing pages right now.; April 21, 2010 at 1:27 AM
Lisa said...: Nevermind, I think we are already changing pages. It's saying 186 and I know there are more than that. Ugh. What can we do?; April 21, 2010 at 1:29 AM
Lisa said...: Okay, this is bad. Just a couple of hours after a new post and we're stuck in nothingness. I know Mulie suggested Blogfrog and I kind of figured we'd not need it, but what do y'all think about the idea now? Would it help? No? What should we do?; April 21, 2010 at 1:47 AM

I'm going to bed. Goodnight, all.; April 21, 2010 at 2:32 AM
KaytieJ said...: R2 - You're free to be on Daisy. Just be prepared that we value free speech and free thinking with no moderation. We have a wonderful group of ladies here from all walks of life. They are gentle, magnificent in their difference, tough as nails in calling out BS or stating their passions and "Worship" :-); April 21, 2010 at 2:35 AM
T@iy@ said...: Morning Daisies. Ugh. No sleep last night. Sorry I missed out.

R2- Don't know you, but pull up your big girl panties and hang out. AP apologized for the butt plug incident, others don't like some aspects of your personality. Get over it, relax, and jump in some other conversation besides the one that you keep bringing up about yourself. i have no real idea of SIP and i don't care for one. People not liking you or whatever means nothing to me because I can form my own opinion, and so far... well... your 'woe is me' posting is getting old. Sorry. Not trying to be mean, here. You say things like "finding out that I'm your favorite butt plug" or something along those lines is just silly for bringing up something that you got a private, and public apology for. I have seen your name mentioned once in the months that I have been hanging out at Daisy, and that was in the butt plug comment. No one gets continually harped on here besides maybe Kate Gosselin...

Seriously, though, I am not trying to be mean. I don't have any reason to dislike you. Just get over whatever it is that you are upset about and join in all of the yogurt tampon/sea salt rubbing/white trash conversation and hang out. That's all I'm going to say about that. :) Hope you decide to spend some time here.

Btw- anyone really *is accepted here. I read JM and don't have a problem with her and no one has even sent a snarky comment my way! (Maybe they did it to each other in e-mail, but I don't really care. haha); April 21, 2010 at 7:04 AM
T@iy@ said...: And darn if that wasn't fragmented as all get out. Well, I am going to go lay back down until DD gets up in 15 minutes.

AP- maybe BF wouldn't be such a bad idea? I don't know. Mr. Blogger just has a stick up his arse all of the time. Not sure how the alternatives would work.; April 21, 2010 at 7:05 AM
kristin said...: Morning ladies - damn you guys were a chatty bunch last night.

{{HUGS}} EL and CK! Yes, Cancer sucks :(

HD - you area good person.

AP - not sure how to word this, but glad you had some *good news.

LOVED the yeast convo - I had never had a yeast infection, until I got PG with little guy. It was awful.

Welcome Ginger!

Hi and bye FT - glad you stopped in.

Obviously I missed the chance to weigh in but I had *issues last night. Tummy is still gurgly.

Anyone have any ideas on what to get my grandma for her b-day? She has everything.; April 21, 2010 at 7:10 AM
kristin said...: and morning Taiya! Sorry about no sleep.

Oh, and was it Ginger who said she has a daughter who is PG. My sis is also PG and due soon. :); April 21, 2010 at 7:12 AM
kristin said...: Congrats on your brother getting engaged, glad you like her :); April 21, 2010 at 7:13 AM
PJ said...: Kristin - morning!

Give your grandma some of your time (of which we all know you have lots to spare - ha!).

Or make her something special -

Is she well enough to take her out to lunch? Or bring something special in for her?

I should not be here but should be drying my hair - so I'm going to go do as I should...; April 21, 2010 at 8:10 AM
PJ said...: Catch you later! Hope you feel better, Kristin.

Hi and bye Taiya!; April 21, 2010 at 8:11 AM
Robin said...: Thank you, Karen.

Yes, AP.; April 21, 2010 at 8:33 AM
Robin said...: BTW, who's R2? **looks at her name**; April 21, 2010 at 8:36 AM
T@iy@ said...: Back. She slept until 8! It's a flat miracle! Then she drug me into my room by the hand and wanted to lay in my bed and cuddle for 30 minutes. Bless you, DD, bless you.

Kristin- how are you feeling? Leg feeling better? As for Grandma, I have no idea. My grandma is the same way. We usually end up with framed scrapbook collages of DD or our trips there. If there is a new book out by an author we all like either my mom or I will buy her that.

FT- I forgot- It was good to see you were around for a bit! :)

Hi CK!; April 21, 2010 at 8:41 AM
T@iy@ said...: btw- something crazy is going on in this town this morning. 2 sirens went by at breakneck speed this morning (we have a speed limit of 35 in front of our house and are really close to a stop sign, so even when they are in a hurry they are going pretty slow) and otherwise there have been sirens all over for the last hour. Can't imagine what it is, unless it's a meth house bust or something.; April 21, 2010 at 8:44 AM
kristin said...: Ok Robin - weighing in on what you had to say and adding my .02 since I was other wise occupied last night.

As far as the butt plug comment - sorry, it was f'in funny! Call me immature but when people make innaporopriate comments - i find it funny. I also have a little boy, so these things are humourous...and by golly, I wish I had one last night :)

As far as jumping on the band wagon - ummm...you can believe what you want to believe but that is the farthest from the truth. I supported Christy and Shannon and whoever else spoke their mind b/c a lot of times I find these woman to be brutally honest in a way that sometimes I cannot and I applaud their honesty and bravery.

Now as for you and I, I'm sorry - I wanted to find a connection - I thought the whole Texas connection might and I tried on the level of your sons but I found something lacking.

One of the biggest things being, not sure how to explain this. There were a lot of times when people had things going on and you seemed to gloss over it but when you made a comment and no one commented back you pouted. You wanted the attention and that bothered me. Sort of like last night - and I am sure since you were in defense mode, it was the furthest from your mind - but I mentioned being ill - no "i'm sorry you aren't well", etc. Even to those that I may not like or have differences with, I will still comment. and that has always bothered me.

I enjoyed your stories and I found your wit and humor enjoyable and I was genuinely worried when you went MIA during the ice storm - I tend to think the worst so when I contacted Wendy and she said that I shouldn't try to contact you, I was like okay. Only later to find out (and yes, I found out) that people were making fun of me for that. I'm sorry that I have a big heart and yes, a lot of things hurt that were said about me and the fact I couldn't defend myself - at least in your case - you can read what is being said about you and you can come in here as you please, read - re-read the comments and defend yourself (I never had that option, nor did I ever get the courtesy of why I was dismissed). So I guess I can sort of understand where you are coming from - in a way but you come onto Daisy...after how long? and are all up in arms - so don't be upset that we also were defensive.

I had what I wanted to say all organized in my head but typing it out, not so much.

I hope that makes sense.; April 21, 2010 at 8:49 AM
kristin said...: and good lord, I cannot spell today. Sorry CK :)

otherwise/inappropriate/humorous

have not had my cup 'o coffee and I was up at 5:00.

bbl; April 21, 2010 at 8:51 AM
Margo said...: Good morning daisies.

R2 - I don't know you but I do know each time you've come in there has been major drama. I'm new in here and didn't really know anything about you other to read what YOU had to say. For instance, last night you asked people why they felt about you the way they do and then you basically told them they were wrong. You are the one reminding everyone of the butt plug comment - AP apologized, let it go already.; April 21, 2010 at 8:54 AM
T@iy@ said...: Morning Margaret!; April 21, 2010 at 8:55 AM
kristin said...: and I will second what someone else said - sorry - brain not working - I don't think your name has reallyl ever been brought up over here unless you pop in. So many have formed their own opinions of you based on you alone.

Taiya - I'm good (for now) but it is still gurgling.

Leg is sore but I will survive.

Morning margaret - how is your daughter doing? and I never said, but I love that bowl! Beautiful.

and I swear I think I am having sympathy pregnancy brain - I have done so many lame brain things these last few days - I feel like an idiot.; April 21, 2010 at 8:57 AM
T@iy@ said...: Just blame it on mulie and I, Kristin- it'll make you feel better, and it could be true. :D

Glad that you are feeling a little better!; April 21, 2010 at 9:01 AM
Margo said...: Hannah is good - isn't that bowl something else :)

Haiya Taiya!; April 21, 2010 at 9:03 AM
Robin said...: Thanks, Kristin.

And yes, I failed to comment on you not feeling well last night. I am sorry. I hope you feel better soon.

Margaret, I said I owned some of what was said about me. I( said other things I didn't agree with. And though we've never chatted, I suppose you know me as much as anyone else here.

I was self-indulgent yesterday/last night. I wanted people to respond. That came from a position of hurt. If you (meaning a general you, no one in particular) don't understand that, all I can say is I'm sorry if my asking was irritating to you. Not much else I can do about that.

But I do appreciate those who answered, really.

And maybe that's enough of this now? It wouldn't bother me a bit if it was. But that's not my decision; it's up to anyone else who wishes to address me about any of this.

And I'm just Robin. No 2. Thanks.; April 21, 2010 at 9:04 AM
kristin said...: With that Robin - welcome!; April 21, 2010 at 9:05 AM
kristin said...: although dropping the 2 might be difficult - AP tried to go to Lisa and that failed miserably!; April 21, 2010 at 9:06 AM
Robin said...: Kristin--I wasn't here a few days ago, and hadn't been here or even read here in a couple of months--when my name was a topic of great humor. I didn't make that up or imagine it.; April 21, 2010 at 9:06 AM
Robin said...: Thanks, Kristin.

I appreciate the welcome. Truly.; April 21, 2010 at 9:07 AM
T@iy@ said...: Robin- I will be confused if you drop the 2. I call RiM Robin. Don't confuse the preggo brain! :); April 21, 2010 at 9:08 AM
T@iy@ said...: Can I just tell everyone how happy I am at DWTSs latest send off? I don't even watch the show. I just read it in the news.; April 21, 2010 at 9:10 AM
Robin said...: Taiya, I ended up Robin2 in the first place because there were multiple Robins. Sorta like springtime! :P

That's why RiM became Robin in Montana--to distinguish between the Robins.

I'll answer to R2. I just don't need the 2 anymore, so I've dropped it.; April 21, 2010 at 9:11 AM
T@iy@ said...: Robin- Well, I am sure I will adjust. :D If i start answering you when i am talking to RiM, though, please bear with me. I am a newman when i am not pregnant, and pregnancy just makes it that. much. worst!; April 21, 2010 at 9:13 AM
Robin said...: Kristin--back in the days when we were all together, and posting was so active, if I came in and said hello or whatever and no one said anything, I would make a comment about feeling invisible. It was said pretty much in jest. I'm sorry if somehow you took it all seriously. Not much I can do about that.; April 21, 2010 at 9:17 AM
Muliebrity said...: If by hot Israeli guy, you mean a short, greasy, stale Marlboro smelling potty mouth, quick, run to your local mall. I'm sure they are lined up with their rubbing salts.; April 21, 2010 at 9:20 AM
Margo said...: I hate those kiosks in the mall!; April 21, 2010 at 9:23 AM
Erin said...: Kristin- what about a digital photo frame? You can update them too. Or even one of the books you can make on snapfish/shutterfly? You couls have LM tell you want he wants to say about grandma and make it like a story book.
Glad your tummy has stopped the full revolt.; April 21, 2010 at 9:26 AM
T@iy@ said...: Me, too! They are always run by the most irritating, sleazy people.; April 21, 2010 at 9:27 AM
kristin said...: EL - not sure if it has stopped the full revolt - as it is rumbling right now - shouldn't have had coffee but dammit I'm tired.

She has a digital pic frame already and I don't think I could get a book made by this weekend.

hmmmm.....; April 21, 2010 at 9:28 AM
Deb said...: Good morning ladies - I hope everyone's day is off to a good start!

FTR, I cannot stand the aggressive nature of the sellers at the kiosks in the mall.; April 21, 2010 at 9:28 AM
kristin said...: I think I go to the mall maybe twice a year, another reason I don't like to shop :); April 21, 2010 at 9:29 AM
Deb said...: Hey Kristin - looks like the Ravens play the Texans December 13 on Monday Night Football!; April 21, 2010 at 9:29 AM
kristin said...: Very cool! Here or there?; April 21, 2010 at 9:30 AM
Angie said...: Morning all!

AP said: “I know Mulie suggested Blogfrog and I kind of figured we'd not need it, but what do y'all think about the idea now?” No no no! I am change-adverse, and already have a very negative (if not completely fair) opinion of Blogfrog (aka BibleFlog) from JM. I vote no!

Taiya said: “No one gets continually harped on here besides maybe Kate Gosselin...” Spoiler ahead . . . Thank God she was voted out last night. I’ve been boycotting DWTS until she’s out.

R2 said: “BTW, who's R2? **looks at her name**” You’ll always be R2 to me, R2! Good to see you this morning!

Kristin, sorry about the stomach issues. Hopefully today it’s all betta!

Mulie, LOL re hot Israeli guys. Please go back to the mall today! We had a lot of fun from your trip yesterday.; April 21, 2010 at 9:32 AM
Muliebrity said...: I feel like I've stepped into Old Mexico every time I go to the mall with all those damn kiosks! The difference being that I can get way cooler junk for a much better price at a Mexican market.; April 21, 2010 at 9:32 AM
Deb said...: Kristin - @ Houston

SW - Wait....Kate finally got the boot? I don't watch DWTS, and I'm not a fan of KG, but thank God she's done! Oh my, I guess she'll have to schlep her 8 kids back to PA and figure out how to make more money....; April 21, 2010 at 9:38 AM
Margo said...: On dead creek bed guy - can't say I'd be upset either. My parents had a good friend who would visit us in the summers at the beach. She would always offer to babysit us kids so my parent's could have a date night. I loved her - she let me play in her make-up and taught us how to string beads. However, when my parents left she turned into a demon and would beat the crap out of my brother, sister and myself. I only recently told my dad about it. I know if I told my mom she would feel guilty even though it's been 35 years and "aunt" Norma is now dead.; April 21, 2010 at 9:40 AM
Margo said...: Deb - check out my brother's sports art blog - he's really into the Ravens and O's. bardsleysportsart.blogspot.com; April 21, 2010 at 9:42 AM
twirldawg said...: Damn, I just spend all of my planning period catching up.

My hips/back are still aching but I go to the chiropractor today.

feeling better?

i hate eating something that does that to me. it's just wrong. food should never cause the body to rebel. i was there last wkd. i finally had to abandon all bread for a while, and that's hard when it's freshly made and sitting innocently on the counter next to the honey.; April 21, 2010 at 9:53 AM

Kristin - I hope you feel better!

Jill- How are you today? And your 'Hannah Montana' comment was hilarious!

EL- That is scary re: your daughter's eyes! I'm gald it's very treatable!

Mulie - Sorry about the yeast infection :(

Taiya- The ring is gorgeous!

i'm just tired and somewhat crabby about everything that's been going on. it's starting to get to me.

can't run from it, though. so i am practicing ignoring it! super mature, i know. but hey, it's raining in the desert. maybe it will bloom in a week or two. that would be awesome.; April 21, 2010 at 10:21 AM

hi

i deleted a post that was posted on the wrong board.

yes, i know. lame. i decided choosing sides wasn't super helpful, since i can see both sides, and since i don't want to hurt people i care about.; April 21, 2010 at 10:22 AM

Robin in Montana said...: Good morning, all.

First off, R2, I will say that if you decide to stay I am more than happy to let bygones be bygones. I am sorry your feelings were hurt, I am sure I played a part in that, and I do apologize sincerely for that. My feelings weren't ... hurt so much as just annoyed that for the last few months on SIP you completely ignored *anything I had to say, when I commented about your flowers, any of it. The only time you acknowledged me was when you felt the need to smack me down for something. And gosh, for some odd reason, that just didn't sit all that well with me. Call me touchy. :) I did not answer what you deemed a legitimate question yesterday, because it has been answered ad nauseum, both here and at SIP. Anyway. I get pissed easily, but I get over it easily as well, and I am over it. So. Your call.

Really Frugal said...: Looking at both sides too, and sad to see people get their feelings hurt.

I will not be around because I have a yucky cold - I know that's nothing compared to the MAJOR stuff being faced by others, here and elsewhere.

AP, I only tweet about promo codes, and I don't think my 13 followers would be very helpful. I am not tech savvy, but I had another thought. It seems to me that U-tube highlights frequently viewed videos. If *everyone were to go to U-tube and view Chris's video a few times a day, would that have any impact? Might be a lame idea, but just brainstorming.; April 21, 2010 at 10:33 AM
T@iy@ said...: Sounds like fun, Corinne! I have been to some of those places... lots of fun!

How is the airspace there? My husband has been following the volcano obsessively so updates me every day about what is going on according to the news. Thought I'd ask you, though.; April 21, 2010 at 10:34 AM
Robin in Montana said...: Rhys -- are you cussing this morning?

Mulie - I am worried about you and the Israelis and your burning crotch! My ex-MIL bought all that Dead Sea stuff, and it was kind of nice, I guess.

AP - You need to watch the Jerk. Good to know about Dead Creek Guy, and I agree with the sentiments that it was apparently not a Hallmark moment death for him.

Taiya -- that ring is *beautiful! I might have read, but when is he going to ask her? Does he have some big plan for doing it?; April 21, 2010 at 10:35 AM

Robin in Montana said...: BD -- That Arbonne eye cream? Worth selling your firstborn for. I've thought about being a consultant, too. In light of the whole hormone/progesterone/estrogren conversation the other day, I'll plug their 'balancing cream' too. It's some very, very good stuff for hormonal women.

Bella - I've never broken a beer bottle on a wall, either, but I would like to. Putting it on my bucket list. lol

EL -- Read about your daughter! I can only imagine how scared you were, but I'm glad it's not worst case scenario!

CK - I am sorry about your friend. :(

Kaytie - if you're here, I found these (three) horses I want to buy, lol. Damn Craigslist. I don't want all three, but this old guy is selling all three of them, all tack, and two ton of hay for $2500. A 9, 11, and 19-year old (Arabian, Taiya) gelding, all well broke and been ridden extensively in the mountains. Want, want, want.

Corinne - I think your trip should include Glacier Park.

T@iy@ said...: RiM- sometime this summer is all I know. They are planning 2 trips, one to Colorado and one to Yellowstone (they live in Cali) and I think he wants to ask on one of those. We *really adore her, so I can't wait until it is official! The last girl he dated seriously was a doozy and none of us could stand her. Aside from the lack of tact, I was very happy that he broke up with her at my wedding. :)

My hubby and I are starting to save now, because it isn't going to be a cheap trip out there for his wedding. We will definitely be going, though.; April 21, 2010 at 10:42 AM
Jennifer-Lynn said...: RiM:

I love how, in Montana, you talk about picking up a horse or two the way that I talk about buying a new bra or something.

Someone asked me yesterday what is helping with the "hatchet scar" (the lines between the eyebrows. The Arbonne Instant Lift Gel. It tightens your skin a bit. My lines are barely visible, whereas a couple of weeks ago they were becoming extremely prominent. It was like Moses parting the Red Sea on my forehead. I have to admit that I am intensely impressed.

RiM: if you become a consultant, I will buy from you over anyone else.; April 21, 2010 at 10:42 AM
Margo said...: If people don't like the pendants RiM has on her site you can have one from my etsy site (that way RiM can keep both) or I'll make you a custom (no vulvas).; April 21, 2010 at 10:43 AM

Anonymous said...: Taiya- Airspace was re-opened yesterday but it'll take up to two weeks for things to get back to normal.
The ash cloud is apparently headed for the Arctic circle so that's good news. Because, honestly, things were starting to get hard on the economy.
Now, they have to figure out who's going to help - financially - the airlines because they lost millions of euros. Will it be the insurance companies? the E.U.? The governments?

I said I had two friends stuck abroad, one in NYC (at JFK) and one in Qatar. Well, the one in NYC will be back next Monday and the one in Qatar has a flight on May 2nd. This is truly nightmarish for them. Especially with the end of the year being so close.; April 21, 2010 at 10:44 AM

Rhys - I would have cussed, too. :( And yes, Glacier Park is just one of those places you have to see to really get how beautiful it is. Oh, and earwigs? I am terrified of those suckers. I haven't seen one since I lived back up here. ::shudder::

BD -- Hmmm. I am thinking, I am thinking. I got a sample of that instant lift, but haven't tried it.

Re: the horses. We are looking for *one horse for Kelly, but a good, well-broke horse is hard to find, and even in these times, not cheap. So ... three well broke horses (if they are and there isn't some used-car-salesman trick to them, which there could be) would be a decent deal because we could sell the other two, as well as the tack since we don't need it. It's an old guy who bought the horses and everything associated with them for his grandkids, who apparently rode for a couple of years, but have lost interest.; April 21, 2010 at 10:50 AM

CK - I'm sorry about your acquaintance that passed away from pancreatic cancer. CANCER SUCKS!; April 21, 2010 at 10:52 AM
tumbleweedgirl said...: rim

well broken horses are often sold down here. people still ride them on the desert tracts of irrigated land

did that even make sense? out here, the desert is BLM, but people lease it. then they irrigate it. and it gets lovely green. the rocky sides, though, make it hard to ride 4-wheelers, and moto-bikes. so... horses.; April 21, 2010 at 10:52 AM

No idea how long Julian's eyes have been like this. I think the school eye screenings only test for nearsightedness.

RiM- thanks, Just thanks. Now everyone is flocking to your site ruining my chances. ::pouts::; April 21, 2010 at 10:54 AM
Robin in Montana said...: Rhys - it made sense. People lease BLM land here, too, for summer cattle pasture, but it's mountains. Maybe I should start watching Idaho Craigslist, it's not like I'm very far away.; April 21, 2010 at 10:55 AM
Jennifer-Lynn said...: I love horses, but know very little about them. This might surprise you, but people who owned horses were kind of rare when I was growing up in the Bronx. ;)

I can't contributed to the horse conversations, but I like to read them. I would really love for the girls to have a horse, but that's not feasible right now. They do have a lot of stables here, so I can probably swing riding lessons for them when they are older.; April 21, 2010 at 10:55 AM

Actually, one time I watched the coolest program about the NYC mounted police horses and the high-rise barn(s?) where they are housed, how they deal with the mess of live animals in the city, how they are trained, how they are put out into an adoption program at a very relatively young age and are fabulous horses because they are literally bomb proof.; April 21, 2010 at 10:58 AM

Oh, and I meant to say, BD, that's great news about Baby O. I'll let BD tell you the story, Rhys.

Just curious, Rhys, and maybe you don't know, how much does hay (good horse hay, grass/alfalfa) go for there? For a ton. I paid $185, which is through the roof high this year, but I only needed a ton.; April 21, 2010 at 11:02 AM
tumbleweedgirl said...: rim

i can find out. it's easy. let me do some asking. lots of folks sell the stuff, it's their second crop.; April 21, 2010 at 11:04 AM
T@iy@ said...: Wow, you ladies are quick.

Corinne- that is just a mess. Hope they can get the finances sorted out. Sorry about your friends! I can't imagine!

RiM- I can't look at horses online anymore, because I really really really want to buy them and I live on one acre in the 'city' right now. My parents have a farm that I could keep them at, but it wouldn't work. So I can't look anymore. I just can't.

TWG- your earwigs pinch?! We have them here. They are horrible and they do congregate, but I have never had one pinch me and hang on. That is disgusting.

EL- your bug comments still aren't enough to get rid of this ocky horrible dream I had the other night. I had forgotten it and then I remembered it 2 days later and now I Can't. Forget. It. Ugh.; April 21, 2010 at 11:04 AM

Robin in Montana said...: Rhys - Second cutting is the best. First is the old growth fromlast year, and third (and fourth) is way too 'hot' for horses. I wouldn't normally have paid that much for hay, but I bought it through a guy at Kelly's work, and it's "certified" as weed free and whatever all the other hoops need jumped through to certify it as being safe for wilderness and back country packing and all.; April 21, 2010 at 11:07 AM

Robin in Montana said...: Taiya -- I hear you. I am lucky that it is working out for me the way it is. I have great summer pasture, they can stay there for the winter and the guy will even feed for me if I want, and he charges me no rent. I probably couldn't swing it if I had to pay for pasture or a place to board them.; April 21, 2010 at 11:08 AM
tumbleweedgirl said...: its seconds and thirds

no one likes their first cuttings. when i say second crop, i mean that they first plant some spring stuff. then in the fall, they do a fast plant of alfalfa.

there's also fields that do 4-5 plants of alfalfa. i've rarely seen them sell firsts and lasts, those go to the cows; April 21, 2010 at 11:08 AM
Jennifer-Lynn said...: RiM: The majority of police horses are in Manhattan. You'll occasionally see them in the outer boroughs, but yeah, the police horses are awesome.

Rhys: Baby O is my friend's baby. O's mom's water broke when she was 26 weeks, so she was put into the hospital on high risk status. She was there 3 weeks before they had to do an emergency C-section because the amniotic fluid was just too low. She was born at 29 weeks and was 2.5 lbs., 14 inches long.

ANYWAY, the short version (ha) is that she has been thriving so much that she is probably going to be coming home this weekend. She was supposed to be there until her due date (June 2) but is latching on, gaining weight and regulating her temperature. She actually ripped her feeding tube out of her nose! She's put on almost 2.5 lbs. in the last 3.5 weeks, and they are feeling good about discharging her, because she meets all the criteria.

Aren't you glad that I gave you the short version? :); April 21, 2010 at 11:09 AM

Robin in Montana said...: I buy by the ton, yes. WHere my horse is at, he can still get to grass well into November, and really even all through the winter,so he doesn't need much, and a ton was plenty. When I lived more up in the mountains we figured two or three ton of hay per horse for the months they would need it, not as much pasture. And yes, small square bales, 70-ish pounds. We did have a feeder and would occasionally buy the one-ton bales and just let them have at it, but they tend to waste more -- pick out the good stuff first.; April 21, 2010 at 11:15 AM

Okay, I forgot to tell you about the dream I had last night. We had some rancorous firm drama yesterday and I think that in addition to the light Daisy bickering had me in a combative mood, because I dreamed that I was a soldier in some army and my job was to shoot at soldiers on the other side, who I could see about 100 yards away in this big room or arena we were doing battle in. It was very stressful shooting and getting shot at all day, and I felt the war weariness in the dream. You know, I think Lost had a little bit to do with it too, because there were some missiles fired on Lost last night and our bullets were kind of like missiles. Until I realized we were firing caulk guns at each other. And the caulk flew through the air, kind of like bigger silly string, and didn’t just dribble out of the caulk gun like it would do IRL.

I realized we were firing caulk when I nailed some Israeli guy on the forehead with a big string of caulk. And I figured it must be some acidic substance and he would start screaming and his forehead would smoke. But nothing happened. It was just plain old caulk. And I was kind of disappointed then, because it seemed kinda pointless.

I might throw one for my sister, too, since she got rid of EVERYTHING and I wasn't even at her first baby's shower, and I probably won't be there when the baby is born. Going back to NY in June, so it would be then, sometime. Thinking of making that one into a thing where everyone brings a gift under $10, like onesies or something.

I don't know about the last one; I have to think about it a little more.; April 21, 2010 at 11:34 AM

Robin in Montana said...: And speaking of questioning mental health ... huh, SW. lol.
I think dreams are so very interesting, actually.; April 21, 2010 at 11:36 AM
T@iy@ said...: Wow, BD, you are going to be busy!

That would be fun for your sis. You could always make it a themed under- $10 party, too. Those are fun!; April 21, 2010 at 11:38 AM
Erin said...: AP- crappy like sick, or crappy like sore? Either way sucks though.; April 21, 2010 at 11:39 AM
Angie said...: BD, two parties in two days is too many! I'm stressed about it, on your behalf.; April 21, 2010 at 11:39 AM
tumbleweedgirl said...: bd

you hear stories all the time about preemies. it's rare to hear of one that early going home early too.

under 10 showers are cool.; April 21, 2010 at 11:40 AM
kristin said...: BD - sounds like what I am doing - the office is planning a baby shower on Friday - I have to go find a cake and food and decorate on Friday. Sales meeting was Tues/Wed - had to schedule the conference room and the lunch and rooms for the salesmen.

Then Saturday is sis and g'ma's b-day. Getting together on Sunday.

Monday is ho-workers 50th - have to get stuff for that. Fun times :); April 21, 2010 at 11:44 AM
T@iy@ said...: Kristin- are you at least doing an Over-The-Hill theme for ho-worker?; April 21, 2010 at 11:45 AM
Jennifer-Lynn said...: Not sure about the shower for my sister. It's not that I'm uninterested, but probably all the same people that were at the first shower will be invited to the second shower, and that strikes me as kind of tacky. With the mini-shower here, on 5/23, it's her second baby, but they are military and were not stationed here with their first child. So it's all new people.

However, I know my sister struggles financially, so she could really "use" the shower. I'm thinking I will definitely do the shower for my sister if it's a boy, because A.) their older child is a girl, 7 months younger than my A., and B.) I have tons of girl stuff I can pass along to her. I am going to give her my stroller/infant carrier/carseat, so that's one big expense down, but...you know. Babies are expensive.

Am I making any sense? I've not had much coffee yet.; April 21, 2010 at 11:46 AM
Deb said...: SW - caulk guns, huh? hmmm.

AP - sorry you are under the weather.

BD - I think an under $10 party is a great idea!; April 21, 2010 at 11:48 AM
T@iy@ said...: BD-since you weren't present for the first one, I'd say go for it. Especially if it's been that long. I really think second showers are kind of tacky (sorry anyone who has them!) as a general rule, but I think in that case it would make sense.; April 21, 2010 at 11:49 AM
kristin said...: Yes Taiya - we are doing all black :); April 21, 2010 at 11:50 AM
T@iy@ said...: Good, Kristin. :) You can get some satisfaction out of that at least. :D; April 21, 2010 at 11:50 AM
T@iy@ said...: DD is scrubbing my cheeks with a wipe. Guess she is getting revenge for me doing it to her. :D

Well, I have to go shower and get ready for my exciting appt. at the OB. I am anxious to find out if anything is happening but don't look forward to the exam.; April 21, 2010 at 11:56 AM
Tara. said...: Just skimmed quickly, but I'll go back soon and try to catch up....

Just wanted to say that I am SO glad to know I'm not the only Mom with those songs on her itunes shuffle list. BD, I'm laughing hysterically at the Kelly's Mom prom lyrics.

Must get coffee.; April 21, 2010 at 11:57 AM
Jennifer-Lynn said...: Hey there, Tara! How have you been? I've been, well, very busy and computer-less for stretches, but I'm happy you are coming around.; April 21, 2010 at 12:00 PM
Tara. said...: Hi BD! I've been well, thanks for asking! You?; April 21, 2010 at 12:03 PM
Deb said...: Hey Tara!; April 21, 2010 at 12:04 PM
Tara. said...: Hi Deb! Good to see you. :o); April 21, 2010 at 12:14 PM
Jennifer-Lynn said...: I just fed my kids pasta for breakfast. They wanted it, and I wanted to not hear screaming, so I gave them leftovers.

Again, Mom of the Year.; April 21, 2010 at 12:28 PM
