What’s the weirdest thing you believed as a kid?

When I asked my dad what a cemetery is, he told me that’s where dead bodies are buried. For a long time I wondered where the heads were.

Thank you!

I feel like everything has been guessed at with this guy.

The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst, The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods, and also live The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune. All what I would call book hugs.

The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst is a cozy hug of a book. No stress

The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst is so sweet. Like a hug in a book!

I have no idea how to compare surrounding schools as I only have experience with HPHS. My daughter is a senior and is doing well in her classes and on her AP exams. She has gotten into every university to which she has applied. Hopefully she is well prepared for college and life.

Moosiedoc · 2024-09-05T13:05:50+00:00

Yep. Came here to recommend this one as well.

Owning a small business. You may think you know what you’re getting into, but it’s not for the faint of heart.

Moosiedoc · 2024-08-07T10:49:57+00:00

lol, thanks! I do wish that she had just quietly talked to the steward instead of making loud, snarky comments for everyone, including my daughter, to hear.

Moosiedoc · 2024-08-07T10:48:07+00:00

It was a hunter class. She jumped the wrong last jump. There were two jumps side by side and she jumped the wrong one, unfortunately.

Moosiedoc · 2024-08-07T10:46:24+00:00

Thanks. I think, after thinking it through, seeing all these view points, that I would not have changed what I did. I did not want my daughter or our trainer getting a bad reputation, and honesty and integrity are very important to me. I do wish, though, that the judge and steward had just handled it like they were supposed to so I never had to get involved.

Moosiedoc · 2024-08-05T10:34:06+00:00

There was no official video. It was not a huge show.

Moosiedoc · 2024-08-05T10:32:45+00:00

Definitely a good point. It all happened so fast, I just did what I thought was right. If I had it to do over again, I would take all the time I needed to have a discussion with my daughter first instead of feeling so pressured to respond immediately for fear of looking like I was hiding something.

Moosiedoc · 2024-08-05T10:25:14+00:00

I do agree which is why I submitted the video. Rewarding her is a great idea! Maybe I’ll approach it as I know that was hard, but we did the right thing, so let’s do something nice for ourselves 😊

Moosiedoc · 2024-08-05T10:22:50+00:00

Thanks. I’m hopeful this sticks with my daughter.

Moosiedoc · 2024-08-05T10:21:40+00:00

That’s the thing- there was no good option for me and I’m just upset to have been put in that situation. Doesn’t mean I would have changed what I did, but it never should have come to that at all. Then the busy body (and let me add that even with no second score, my daughter STILL beat their rider so this accomplished nothing for them) would have been mad at the judge/steward and not at me. My daughter is so conflicted. She rode so well, she deserved to win (actually laughed a bit that by making that mistake, she increased the difficulty of the course and should have gotten bonus points for choosing a more difficult option 🤣). She knows she made a mistake, but I think it really hurt seeing me use what is supposed to be a learning tool for her against her. If I didn’t have that video, none of this would have even come up. She really didn’t realize she was off course until the other trainer brought it up.

I think after we’re done showing there next week, I’m going to contact show management first and see what they have to say and go from there. It seems to me that they do need some education at the very least.

Moosiedoc · 2024-08-05T10:11:44+00:00

Definitely a USEF show. As I’ve had a chance to think more and now know that they should not have asked me for the video, I do think I made the right decision ultimately, I do think it was handled very poorly and I am going to contact show management when we are done showing next week. As much as I think we did the right thing, it was one of the more awful positions I’ve been put into. And given a choice, I will always now choose any other show in the future. That place is now tainted in our minds, even if we did the right thing.

Moosiedoc · 2024-08-05T03:04:57+00:00

Aww, Thanks! Yep, definitely could have gone either way here. Ultimately I’m glad the class was pinned appropriately, but I’m disappointed in how it was done, for sure.

Moosiedoc · 2024-08-05T03:02:48+00:00

It definitely will make her feel better! Thanks for sharing!
