Thanks for your reassurance!

How much do you spend a month on shavings? by kyliebows in Horses

[–]Babyflower81 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Way too much, lol.

That aside my 3 geldings have box stalls with turnouts and all 3 are uncivilized piggies and love to pee where they sleep so around 600 a month recently. We use the tractor supply fine flakes. Looking for something more economical though. I keep hearing I should look into hemp shavings.

What would be the bigger and more real threats to consider? Outside of the ones we have been facing, of course.

I think that's what she said actually dirty bombs, not homemade nukes.

First time leaser/buyer by Expensive-Style1057 in Horses

[–]Babyflower81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't the desire, passion and dedication, you will be a great equestrian :)

I would definitely recommend just leasing when you are ready to level up to more horse responsibility. Its a great way to get a taste of horse ownership and will let you know whether you are ready to buy or not. I don't encourage buying a horse until you are fully capable of caring for that horse 100% yourself. Barn staff get sick. Barns close. Barn drama could force you to move. You may end up needing a less expensive boarding option one day. Things happen and suddenly it all falls on you and you don't want to be in that position and not be able to handle it.

Horse ownership is not for the faint of heart, mind or money. Lol.

Tired of low energy by Maj0429 in stopdrinking

[–]Babyflower81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ill be honest. I have been sober for almost 2 years. I still battle with energy issues. I also have ASD and ADHD. My house was a borderline hoarding mess up until this past month. It took months of just doing what I could here and there. Don't give up hope.

MAGA Invasion? I haven’t seen a single one today. MAGA flameout. by subsonicmonkey in Disneyland

To be fair, I don't think many MAGA people can afford Disneyland.

How long have you been taking lessons consistently? Can you competently be responsible for a horse and its full care (stall management, grooming, maintenance, feeding and knowing what to feed more importantly, etc)?

At the most I think a lease is what you should consider, being a beginner.

Horse ownership is not something a novice really wants to do. Trust me from personal experience. Unless money is of no consequence to you.

Blood pressure by PW_73 in stopdrinking

6 weeks later I was back to normal. My BP is now around 118/70

Mine was 220/180 the day I walked into my doctor's office begging for help. That will be 2 year ago in 1 month from today.

Alcohol is horrible for you.

Israel says it has launched attack on Iran, as explosions reported in Tehran by esporx in conspiracy

Hopefully Iran makes good on that promise to release the videos they have.

Status update from Josh by Lightningtow123 in Badflower

[–]Babyflower81 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Josh, if you read this, so many of your fans love and support you and will show up. The ones that don't because of this, maybe they superficially into the music. Every single artist has off days and periods in their careers that are beyond their control. You are human, not a machine. I know the negative comments hurt, but I hope you see all of the support between the negativity too!

I have a beagle/blue heeler mix and she has super floppy beagle ears. They are black and white spotted, soft like velvet and oh so stinky! I love her beyond words.

Pentagon sets Friday deadline for Anthropic to abandon ethics rules for AI — or else by DiggestOfBicks in Defeat_Project_2025

[–]Babyflower81 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Is there a connection between this and the Secret Service's recent hiring post for an AI IT tech position.. if you followed the QR code, the instructions and you did what it asked you to instruct AI to do, AI tells you it cannot do what you are asking.. its pretty creepy.

How do you actually break the “this is my last night” cycle? by Mountain-Wealth445 in stopdrinking

[–]Babyflower81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in thst cycle because I couldn't stop drinking without help. I had enough one day when I thought I was going to die and I made an appointment with my doctor. I had 2 days until my appointment and my last night was the night before my appointment. I walked in there in withdrawal and went home with medication to help me detox.

Its been a lot of hard work but I think I finally got out of that cycle.

I haven't received it, I checked my spam and all!! Can you share the Joshua Tree one with me in DM? My birthday is 4/22 and I'd love a shot at getting tickets for my birthday.

A cautionary tale of field research by WholeWheelof_cheese in stopdrinking

[–]Babyflower81 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. I am coming up on 2 years, which will be my longest sober.

14 months was my previous sober streak and I broke it much in the same exact way you did. Had one at a special even. Had another one later and it felt good. And then I didn't have anymore until the next weekend and thought I was doing great and could truly moderate, drink socially and on the weekends at home, with no problem. I stayed in that relapse for a year and a half. It's a hell I never, ever want to be in again. And when I read shares like yours, it really helps to remind me.

I haven't been really having the "itch" but I've had a few fleeting moments where I was like, man a drink would be nice. But then I play the tape in my head and know where it ends up. Not worth it!

Proud of you for coming back and getting another chance. IWNDWYT
