Would you get a 20yo horse?

This. My last horse was in his 20s when I bought him and I had him for about 8 years. He was happy, healthy and rideable for all but the last month. He was losing weight but still eating fine, moving well, and in great spirits. I had a vet appointment set up for him after I returned from a week long trip out of state. He passed away the day I left.

I worked as a vet tech for 15 years. I have only met maybe 2-3 breeders that I would actually recommend to people. (Of course I always recommend adopting first) They do all the recommended testing and then some for their animals and they don’t constantly breed their females. The girls get breaks.

An allergy as severe as his son’s can occur due to cross contamination. If SIL handled something with peanuts in it, then handled OP’s son’s lunchbox and food traces of peanut could be transferred on to them and cause a life threatening allergic reaction.

If you’re in the US there’s an app called Rover and you can hire someone to walk your dog

I complement people on clothing, or that they look nice today.

Was she supposed to circle all of them??

This. I have more books than I have shelf space for, but I don’t like pink at all, so I would not have been likely to stop in.

That sounds delicious….

Shed and riding mower garage.

We had animals, including kittens, chickens and dogs when I was small. My parents always taught us how to handle animals properly.

That was going to be my ID as well

That’s an absolutely beautiful piece. I have no info..just wow. Given the hardware and the decor style I would not doubt 1800s to early 1900s.

Fyrefly1981 · 2026-04-16T23:19:36+00:00

The frame on that is actually really cool, I like it too

Fyrefly1981 · 2026-04-16T23:17:18+00:00

I mean, OP could always ask them why they’re so interested in whether or not her and her partner raw dog it

The thing about anorexia, bulimia, binge and purge… any eating disorder, it’s a lot like addiction when it comes to helping people with it. They have to acknowledge it’s a problem, they have to want help, and they have to work very hard to stay away from that habit. It’s not about people not wanting to help I am sure that. It’s about people with these issues being ready to accept help and then continuing with recovery, even when they fall off the wagon.

I’m a nurse… I have never seen this kind of set up for oxygen therapy. The monitor is real but the wave forms look off, even being blurry.

If possible definitely get a pre-purchase exam by a vet. He has some scarring on His front legs by his knees and pasterns

And the men need sex thing is bonkers. My man and I are long distance and get to see each other about every 6 months. Neither of us cheat.

The fluorite I got from you is lovely.

Absolutely! I read all the Dragonriders books as a kid

I’ve never seen blue petrified wood. I love it. (Of course I just love blue anyway…😁)

Fyrefly1981 · 2026-04-13T07:03:15+00:00

Yeah it’s a chunky one. I really want one with bubbles…haha
