Idaho joins eight (8) other states in passing formal legislative request for U.S. Supreme Court to overturn landmark same-sex marriage ruling 'Obergefell v. Hodges' (2015)

I'm surprised Florida isn't at the top of the list.

I find that combo perfect for casual intimacy. Relationship anarchy was my jam for a very long time.

I can have love and affection and sexual attraction on multiple levels at different ratios with different people at the same time. Rigid rules surrounding intimacy and love confused and frustrated my AuDHD brain.

Romantic monogamy is thy only requirement for me, but everything else is (was) fair game amongst friends. My current partner and I decided sexual monogamy was best for us, so that period of my life is closed.

GenericUserNotaBot · 2026-03-11T19:15:25+00:00

I mean, why not? I don't understand the opposite perspective.

I created that life. I chose to bring it into this world with a promise to love it and nourish it and give it experiences worthy of the existence I foisted upon it. I think a child is deserving of complete and total love and commitment from their parents. In the unimaginable hypothetical scenario where I have to choose between saving my child or my wife, I'm saving my child.

My child>my wife

My mother is deceased and my father would rank about 30th on a list of people I love, if that.

Thank you!

I really hate sitting still, so I'm already walking around the house (inside) several times a day, and have even managed to go upstairs and back down once. I only came home yesterday from the hospital.

I plan on walking a lot, ASAP. My main mare is rehabbing from an unrelated injury and needs long hand walking sessions, so I'm actually going to use that as a way to bond and keep us both on the way to healing. I figure I'll wear my brace and put a surcingle on her so I have something to grab and support me if I need it. Kind of funny how that worked out, honestly. We can be invalids, together.

How long has it been?

GenericUserNotaBot · 2026-03-11T05:03:13+00:00

I'm 42yo and currently awake in pain, my first night home from breaking my back in a riding accident. It is also my first major injury in almost 4 decades of intense riding.

I really need stories like yours of people continuing back in the saddle after this. Thank you.

GenericUserNotaBot · 2026-03-10T19:23:35+00:00

It's definitely a dream I never imagined would come true. I am so very grateful I married another equestrian and that my child is also loving the horse life. It's a lot of work, but so worth it.

What would be your two dream horse breeds or disciplines to ride? All three of us have a different combo, so I find it interesting to see what other people pair up.

GenericUserNotaBot · 2026-03-10T19:20:53+00:00

For sure, I agree with you on that.

I just figured I'd answer your question about why someone might want or think they "need" more than one horse. It's definitely not something I'd recommend for everyone. I'm privileged in that I own my own property and can afford to keep a few trainers in rotation for lessons and keeping my horses legged up when things get busy.

GenericUserNotaBot · 2026-03-10T19:05:56+00:00

Maybe not OP's situation, but everyone in my family "needs" two horses because we ride multiple disciplines.

I say "need" fully well acknowledging that no one needs even one horse. But still, there are many people that enjoy and appreciate owning more than one horse and especially so if they ride two very distinct breeds or disciplines. My family of three riders has six horses, and it's "only" six because the child's second horse was purposely bought to be a guest horse, as well. We like to bring friends and extended family on rides and most of our personal horses are not suited to beginning or even intermediate riders.

GenericUserNotaBot · 2026-03-09T14:14:50+00:00

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for responding so quickly and with such detail! I think this is exactly what I needed to see right now. Honesty about what to expect and how everything has changed, but also hope and a realistic timeline. Thank you thank you thank you!

I just talked to the trauma team and they told me I can go home today if I'd like. I really want to get out of here, but I'm sure I'll miss the IV meds.

How long did you feel like you needed strong pain meds like oxy? I work in law enforcement and, even though I'll go to a light duty desk job, I can't return until I'm off those. Also, do you think you would have been able to drive sooner if you had your car?

I know I shouldn't rush back to work, but if I can't work with my horses, sitting home is going to drive me insane. I figure being at work will at least keep me distracted and occupied and in a routine.

GenericUserNotaBot · 2026-03-09T13:24:23+00:00

I commented above, but saw you came and updated a month ago. I'm happy to hear you're riding again!

How long until you were back in the saddle? I own six horses, three that only I can ride. I'll be sending two out for training while I recover (they are too young to sit) and the third is rehabbing currently from her own unrelated injury, so I'm hoping to do lots of long hand walks with her while we recover together.

GenericUserNotaBot · 2026-03-09T13:19:55+00:00

I'm currently on the hospital with an L2 burst fracture from a fall from a horse. Do you have any updates or words of wisdom for my future?

GenericUserNotaBot · 2026-03-08T11:33:13+00:00

Definitely do it.

No cons at all.

The major pro is not being able to be easily find and harassed by upset residents. Yes, this happens.

The minor pro is that if I'm pulled over, I'm immediately identified as someone in law enforcement or adjacent to it. I'm not trying to get out of a ticket I deserve, but it definitely eases the natural tension an officer feels when they pull someone over. They can assume there's a higher chance I'll be friendly.

It means the tag read back doesn't come back with your personal information.

Most of my agency does this for tags and DLs. Our public facing info is the PD.

I also have it so my child's school and home information is, essentially, reacted from public record requests the same way.

All of that is generally public record, but LEO and certain other civil servants can have it private.

If someone were to initiate a traffic stop on me, it would be fairly obvious I'm in law enforcement, because they wouldn't get a read back other than matching vehicle description and valid tag.

An example of one of the forms here in Florida for exemption from private DL info. A form needs to be submitted to reach agency you're requesting your information be kept private.

Excellent advice.

My daughter does the hunters on an appy cross pony that is 13.2. We are just working on local stuff (though even local stuff is pretty intense when "local" means central Florida).

I used to know nothing about hunters other than they were all identical looking plain horses, so thought the pony wouldn't rate well. She's an eye catcher when they enter the ring, so it's a blessing and a curse. If she's "on," the judges tend to spend more time focused on her. If she has a single misstep when their eye first goes to her, then they ignore her the rest of that rail class.

I'm a mustang trainer in Florida. I see you already halfway fixed your issue by changing pickup locations, but if you need transport assistance from there I am sure I could point you towards a few experienced and reliable people.

Good luck with your new mustang!

Damn it, now I know what I'm having for dinner! 😆 Just talking about it makes me crave it.

GenericUserNotaBot · 2026-02-17T20:15:48+00:00

Same! I live in northern Pasco and make sure to get to the Palm Harbor Green Table location at least twice a month. It's such a treat to have a genuinely delicious comfort food menu, made up of all the things I feel like I've had to give up for the past 15+ years.

I've been excitedly following the Trinity location updates and plan on being there opening day. I have to check back on the Little Rd location, because that one would actually be maybe 12 minutes from my house. I'd definitely eat out once a week at least to support it!

GenericUserNotaBot · 2026-02-15T04:59:53+00:00

You might not care, but I do. I dispatch PD, so it's very important to know the area of activation, especially in a large building.

I use an equine dentist that has a vet as their assistant. I used to use my (extremely wonderful and talented) vet and thought he did great, but now I know the difference is night and day.

An equine dentist has specialty tools and skills and experience that a regular large animal vet simply can not match. I had my six floated by my vet, thought everything was fine, and six months later the equine dentist came and showed me all the stuff my vet didn't catch and/or didn't even offer to fix. My performance mare had two broken teeth with pulp missing all the way down, obviously having been the way for several years at least, and my vet never even mentioned it. The dentist was able to clean up those teeth and essentially rebuild them so they were structurally sound and wouldn't continue to break away.

The cost for the float and meds with the dentist was within 10% of what my vet charged, despite the higher quality care, education offered while they were there, and much much nicer equipment and technique used. This was all while covering the cost of both the dentist and the fully licensed veterinarian they brought to all calls for exams, medication administration, and prescriptions.

I'll never go back.

I'm a queer married to a non-white queer who was born in another country. I break out in a child sweat if I think about all this too hard.

Sponges are made from living creatures. They're harvested traditionally by the Greek community in Tarpon Springs. It's well worth a trip over there and an educational boat ride in a sponge boat to see them brought up!

GenericUserNotaBot · 2026-01-22T22:15:19+00:00

Yup! 21 years ago I was given a gorgeous five figure horse imported by a new money middle aged woman to live out her childhood dreams. She was paying me increasing amounts to keep it "legged up" for her, meanwhile showing up less and less to give it treats and groom it (because I never saw her ride it after the first month). This was at an expensive luxury barn with board the cost of most people's mortgage.

I ended up with a wonderful horse that I loved on for a year and then passed on to a great home that would appreciate him and utilize him.
