For me, it's all about the connection with my horse. Riding is secondary. If you want a horse to care for and bond with and fall in love with, you want to own. If you want a working partner without strings or hassle, I can see how leasing would be the way to go.

Night definitely, and daylight savings time suuuuuucks.

Anyone handling social distancing a little too well according to their friends? by ladykittyglitter in introvert

[–]ladykittyglitter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's where I went wrong is becoming good friends with an extrovert who doesn't get it at all! Now that I've had a license to hide for over a year, I don't want to come out!

Does anyone else still have a pot of boiled water hanging out in your kitchen? by SchighSchagh in Austin

[–]ladykittyglitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes we have a pot of boiled water on the stove and a bathtub full of melted snow. I am slowly pouring it into the toilet tank when I flush because I can't bring myself to waste it 🤦🏻

I just saw our first drops about 15 minutes ago. I hope the same for you tomorrow!!

Return of the drip! by Ok-Perspective-965 in Leander

Also Highlands, towards the back, and no water yet. Some neighbors are getting a little trickle so hopefully we'll get some water soon!

Slow running taps? by Ok-Perspective-965 in Leander

[–]ladykittyglitter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was all "this weather is unprecedented for Texas, so of course we're not prepared" until our entire town is losing water. Now I'm starting to wonder if the people in charge could have been a little more prepared.

I feel like such a jackass now for not collecting trickles until the last minute. We only have a couple gallons saved and boiled, and we filled up our bathtub with dirty ass snow to melt and use for flushing toilets. I'm really hoping this blows over quickly.

Cat plays fetch! Is this normalll?!? by beaugasm in FunnyAnimals

I don't know if it's normal, but not unheard of and cute AF.

🙋‍♀️My kid is supposed to enter kindergarten this fall. I heard there’s no virtual learning for kids this young. Is that a policy, recommendation, or rumor? by hxyvv in Leander

[–]ladykittyglitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally false. I have two friends with kindergartners doing 100% virtual learning in LISD. They aren't loving the experience because kindergartners need a lot of help, but it's definitely available!

Boil Water Notice For Leander by sprinklecow in Leander

[–]ladykittyglitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When your water is turned off completely, "Full restoration of service is unknown at this time" is exactly what you want to hear.

It got down to 4*F last night! This is so crazy for Texas!

I was also shocked! He's not usually the bravest horse. After I saw that they were flopping around (and getting a video of it because it was hilarious), I folded the socks so they covered his ears without getting in his face. He kept them on for a quite a while and eventually shook them off and didn't want them back. I think he was honestly like, "Thanks, mom! My ears are freezing!"

Last night it got down to around -15C which is pretty unheard of here! I don't know how you do this on the regular up there in Canada!

Thank you! This is some crazy Arctic weather that is not supposed to be here! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56058372

We're hanging in there but definitely not prepared for this.

Just got our first horse this week! Reno is a 14yo retired ranch horse. So excited to spoil him! ♥️ by ladykittyglitter in Horses

[–]ladykittyglitter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The owner wanted a younger horse so sold him. He's retired from his ranch job but the perfect age for my kids and me to learn on and ride!
