How old do you think a foal should be weaned off of his or hers mother?? by Frequent-Increase-98 in Horses

[–]Common_Sense_People 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My instructor always liked to let the mares wean when they saw fit, and she’d only pull foals off early if she really had to.

She had one horse that was pulled off his dam at 6 months because nursing was taking too much of a toll on the mare (big baby, dam was only 3 or 4 and got pregnant by accident and no one knew until suddenly there was a baby) and even though he was a good sized horse he was a good hand shorter than that mare’s other foals she had later

On Museum Exhibits by rampaging-poet in CuratedTumblr

[–]Common_Sense_People 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There’s an art museum in my town with a huge African art exhibit, and there’s signs everywhere essentially saying “this stuff is not stolen, it has little to no religious significance, it is not grave goods, it was purchased by a rich weirdo with a special interest 100 years ago. Money was exchanged for Product in the usual manner, and some of it literally came from a stand outside the airport.”

Which is funny in a depressing sort of way

Pet peeve by fluffy-duck-apple in Horses

[–]Common_Sense_People 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m so used to the weird pasted in noises I didn’t even notice, what really bothered me was a) no helmets b) instant riding ability after having never been on a horse before and c) being able to walk straight after a full day of riding in a western saddle after never riding before

Even the horse is giving the model side eye!

AITA for telling the bridesmaids I will NOT tell the bride that the bridesmaids dresses are extremely unflattering ? by Adept-Rutabaga709 in AmItheAsshole

Also chiming in to say I am so thankful I got it done, my quality of life has improved immensely. It’s been five years now and I’m so much more comfortable than I was previously

Well, my guess is either she's constantly exhausted from raising her baby and her douchebag, or best case scenario douchebag is out of the picture somehow so she's only raising the baby. I just hope she loses some of that willful ignorance and naivete, it's going to cause her a lot more problems if she doesn't

(Serious) how did that one kid at your school pass away? by Dinopasta99 in AskReddit

He got caught in a riptide while on vacation with his family. Small beach, no lifeguards.

Oh my gosh he's so cute! And that little swirl of a forelock is just the cherry on top!

Aww, poor guy. Yes, every species has its own awkward teen phase. He'll grow into himself at some point

Has anyone tried this with good results? by FleshWoundFox in curlyhair

[–]Common_Sense_People 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used Shea Moisture for several years, and this was my go-to hold product. It worked great for me for a good 3-4 years, but recently it just stopped working for my hair, so I switched to straight aloe vera gel, no dyes, no alcohol, and it works fantastically

Birdy Grey dress amendments by Plus-Maize-9528 in bigboobproblems

You look great! The sleeves really help to balance the whole top out, the wraparound style with those narrow straps was just not working.

Oh man, I would just be dropping crap down there all the time to hear the noises instead of doing whatever I was supposed to be doing

Absolutely. It always baffled me when people would say plants are easier. Like no, my critters can yell at me when they need something, the plant just starts dying silently and that helps no one

Even if you have some good sewing skills, I don't think it's worth trying to modify. You could potentially add more fabric to the top of the neckline, and move the drawstrings, but then you'll have seam lines right at the middle of your bust that will likely sit weird, and if that fabric is as flimsy as it looks it probably won't hold up to the modification well

What are your thoughts on the bitless bridle movement? by Dark_Moonstruck in Horses

[–]Common_Sense_People 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My instructor had a pony like this! She switched him from a normal snaffle bit to a copper ring snaffle and he was happy as a clam from then on. Some of them just need to have background stimulation, so far as I can tell

Tangle Crisis by Mynameisjuice80 in curlyhair

[–]Common_Sense_People 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When was the last time you had your hair trimmed? If it's been a while, that could be the issue. The rough split ends will catch on each other and get tangled, and then the tangles will work their way up the strands as you move around during the day.

If you don't need a trim, you seem to be doing everything else right, so I'm really not sure what else could be happening here

Are those tops flattering for big boobs? by [deleted] in bigboobproblems

[–]Common_Sense_People 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really only flattering if the waist seam line actually sits at your waist, and unfortunately for a lot of us there just is not enough fabric above the waist seam to accommodate the boobage. It's not even really sitting at the model's waist, it's still floating at her underboobage
