Sorry to hear about kitty Kat.

Maybe this will cheer youup. I saw it on a license plate frame.

EM EYE SEE KAY EE WHY
EM OH YOU ES EE.

off to the bus stop. ttfn-D

 

[KatHuss]

LOL Denise!

Thanks, all. DH is taking Storm to the vet this morning to see if they can do anything. He is only about 11 or so, so he isn't that old yet. My other cat is over 17 and though she has arthritis in her hips and seems to have some hearing loss, she does pretty well otherwise. Strange, isn't it?

Oh well....

[dobelover]

Morning gaRry - Bad news for the Capt. Did he quit voluntarily? or was he encouraged to quit? Before I retired my company was very clear about what websites we could visit, JOB RELATED ONLY. We had internet monitors just waiting to catch someone.



Sue

 

[DCLgodess]

wow thats terrible. But it's always the stupid people who get caught. lol. so who's up for more jokes to lighten the mood? okay, these are funny road signs.

-I guess they tried this excuse before.

-Caution: No wheelchair access. Hungry alligators at bottom of hill.

-"That's what I get for using the Microsoft Spell Checker!"

-"But officer, I was just doing what the sign said!"

-The choice of terrorists worldwide

-Make up your mind, will ya?

-Adjacent to the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

well, have lots of laughs. toodles.

 

[KatHuss]

gaRry, sorry to hear about that.

Jen,

How is everyone? Here we are at Friday again. I have been really bad. I have already started Christmas shopping for NEXT year for the cruise! We have decided we aren't going to be getting much for Christmas next year because of the cruise but I am going to bring stockings and hang them in our room so Santa can find us. I found some really cute Disney pens and picture frames on ebay that I had to buy. I found one pen to put in everyone's stocking and am waiting for another one to end that has a pen and notebook with Tink for DD. I also found a new DCL frame (one of those that are sort of rubbery) for .01! And a Mickey one for the same price (both being sold by the same person). They have lots more but that was enough I think. Now to find stockings! I still haven't decided if I want Disney ones (which are WAY too expensive for me right now) or just want to figure something else out. I still have over a year to decide, though, so I am not stressing on it.

Well, back to work...

 

[magiroux]

Happy Friday Everyone

THat's too bad about your Capt. I imagine he must be quite embarrased and worried how his actions has affected his family.

Thanks for the laugh, jEn. THe wheel chair & the alligator is too funny.

Kat, just to let you know last year, after the holidays, disneydirect had a TON of great stuff on clearance. I got alot of gifts that I used for birthday presents throughtout the year along with Disney decorations (got a Tink Tree Skirt -60% off) for rock bottom prices. The thing I like about disney direct is you can stack the codes so you can get a sale, along with free shipping AND 10/20% off. Sometimes you can really clean up and I never see it as good as after the holidays. Just a suggestion if you're looking for Disney themed stuff for next X-Mas.

It's gonna be 70 degrees here tomorrow - Indian Summer. Are ya jealous, Denise .

Well, going to watch my last DVD of Desperate Housewives - Season 1. I'm addicted. BTW, hubby knows "Brie" (Marcia Cross). Went to school with her. Although i'm sure she doesn't remember him now that she's famous

 

[magiroux]

Heck, why not???

T.O.P.

 

[DCLgodess]

i should post more, but i will save them until I feel better. Just really really depressed right now. And this isn't "sit-down-and-cry" depressed, this is serious. but i'll be alright. I got a cruise to look foward to!

 

[dobelover]

Hey Jen - Sorry about the 'blues'.You can talk about it if you want.




Sue

 

[magiroux]

Jen, sorry you are feeling sad. You can certainly talk here if you want. You are amongst friends

 

[KatHuss]

I hope you feel better, Jen. Being sad is no fun.

Mary Ann, thanks for the heads up on the disneydirect thing. I will definitely keep an eye out for that. I would love to get a Tinkerbell stocking for me but cannot afford what they want for them right now. Be so cool if they had one left, wouldn't it???

 

[wdwgoose]

Hi all

j E n SORRY about the way you feel

you could always think of BOO going in the trailer and coming OUT of the trailer.
that puts a SMILE on my FACE.
FOR got to tell her WWWHOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH

[KatHuss]

Good morning all!!

Wow, we were on page 2! Where has everyone been?

This weekend DH and a friend got the insulation in here at our house and across the street at Mom's. Hopefully that will help keep the heating bills down this winter.

Other than that there really wasn't much going on. I cooked some big dinners and have lots of leftovers. Yummy.

 

[DCLgodess]

yeah thinking of Boo always makes me happy. On saturday she ran a pole pattern. And she actually galloped the whole thing. It was a decent pattern. She probably ran about a 28 second run, even though the end poles were really sloppy. Then later in the ride she slid around 7-10 feet. She doesn't even have sliding plates on (see pictures below). That just cheers me up. to all of you for caring so much. That makes me feel better too. Well, school is going to start and I have to print pictures. bye all.

Sliding plates

 

[dobelover]

Jen - So sliding is a good thing? This is interesting, learning about the patterns. More please.



Sue

 

[DCLgodess]

Sliding is the reining horse's best move. Great horses can slide 20-30 feet! Here is a description from the APHA rule book.

To rein a horse is not only to guide him, but also to control his every
movement. The best reined horse should be willfully guided or controlled
with little or no apparent resistance and dictated to completely.
Any movement on his own must be considered a lack of control. All
deviations from the exact written pattern must be consider a lack of or
temporary loss of control, and therefore a fault that must be marked
down according to severity of deviation. After deducting all faults, set
here within, against execution of the pattern and the horse’s overall performance, credit should be given for smoothness, finesse, attitude,
quickness and authority of performing various maneuvers, while using
controlled speed which raises the difficulty level and makes him more
exciting and pleasing to watch to an audience.

SCORING. The scoring will be on the basis of 0-infinity, with 70 denoting
an average performance. The individual maneuvers are scored in 1⁄2
point increments from a low of -11⁄2 to a high of +11⁄2 with a score of 0
denoting a maneuver that is correct with no degree of difficulty.

I will post some patterns when i get home. School is almost over then I have to run to the tack shop to get supplies for my horse. She came up lame yesterday in her right hind. I think it's muscle stiffness. A weeks rest and icing will work.
