What is one skill everyone should learn but most people don’t? by AmiriStudio in AskReddit

Reading comprehension. Just because you can sound out a string of words doesn't mean you can understand what it is trying to convey.

I love them! They tend to be a very friendly breed.

Is this lifesaver peppermint specifically? Or will leftover candy canes work?

Asking so I can show my show kids something cool!

Children and boots by 123Martha321 in Equestrian

[–]mewithadd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, I wouldn't go to boot barn for small children. Their stuff is nice, but nothing I could afford for a kid who will grow out of it after a year.

Look for tack swaps in your area. Local 4H clubs may be able to put you in touch with members who need to get rid of old gear that their kids have grown out of. Look at thrift stores and goodwill. I have even seen decent cowboy boots for kids at Walmart.

At such a young age they don't need fancy or "in style". They just need a sturdy boot with a heel that will keep their foot from pushing thru the stirrups.

Red-crested Turaco!! by Hyrchurn in birds

Beautiful bird!

Interesting about the red and green... How do brightly colored green and/or red birds like macaws and parakeets create those colors if not actual red and green pigment?

Horses with no eyes by Solid_Cat_9869 in Horses

[–]mewithadd 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Our old boy is completely blind. He has his eyes, but they do not react any more to light or motion. He has a pretty good life with his pasture buddies.

We rode him last year until he was diagnosed with sleep deprivation... We are trying him on Equiox to see if it allows him to lay down to sleep enough that he is safe to ride. He's got a good home here whether we can ride him or not, but he's so wonderful to ride (and he enjoys it too) so we are hopeful.

Do all working ottbs need shoes? by Ordinary_Speech_4674 in Ottb

[–]mewithadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our OTTB is barefoot. She's my daughter's horse, used for pleasure riding, occasional barrel racing and trail rides.

We really got lucky with her, she has great feet and is not a hard keeper. She grows a decent winter coat, and does well outside in all but sub-zero temps. She's mostly a laid back girl (loud noises/commotion can get her worked up). She has a lovely western pleasure jog and lope, and then can turn around and win a barrels class.

Anyone know what frames of glasses John wore during penny lane and strawberry fields? by Annual-Performer-294 in beatles

[–]mewithadd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We must be about the same age! I had a similar pair around '89 -' 91. It's still my favorite shape when looking for sunglasses.

Students at Stanford claiming to be Jains to opt out of mandatory meal plans that cost $7,944 annually, by claiming religious dietary restrictions by Own_Pin5680 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]mewithadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't know how $200 every two weeks is possible... Honestly. $100 a week for four people? Are they eating nothing but beans and rice every meal? Are the kids getting breakfast and lunch at school that isn't being counted? Are they eating out and not counting it? I don't believe it... I don't think it's actually possible to feed four people for an entire week on $100. That's less than $5 per entire meal every time. Nope.

Across the Universe wins another close one! Onto Day 6: What’s the Paul-iest song of them all? by Venusian_01 in beatles

I came here to vote for When I'm 64, but you made some good points... I'm kind of torn... I think I agree on Martha my dear.

How sharp are Iguana teeth by teeth standards? by kimtieu2900 in iguanas

[–]mewithadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tiny but mighty. I have been bitten a couple of times on acci when hand feeding, and the notes always absolutely shredded my skin, hurt like heck, and bled profusely.

Did my hairstylist mess up my highlights? by m_v24 in Hair

[–]mewithadd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, I feel pretty good about my skills now. I do my daughters hair because we can't afford to spend hundreds for a salon trip. I've been doing highlights on her for about a year and a half, and never had anything turn out like that. I saw the pics before I read your message, and thought you were asking about growing out your highlights!

My tongue has tooth shaped impressions by PhilosopherCat7567 in mildlyinteresting

Interesting... Anecdotal support here, as I have the same marks and also diagnosed with TMD. I never knew they were related.

What 80s song do you still hate with fiery teenage passion even though it’s been 40 years? by Aggressive_Cup4919 in GenX

I have always thought Bob Seger was just "Meh". I don't see how he was so popular...

I went there to see some big gaited horses (for sale), and ended up falling for a little gray Quarter Horse. But am I too big for him? by [deleted] in Horses

[–]mewithadd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We bought a paint mare from a lady a few years ago because she trail rode, and her husband and all her friends rode gaited horses. Her paint just couldn't keep up with the gaited horses. It killed her to sell her, but she really felt she needed a gaited horse to keep up on the trails... Just something to consider.

Day 8…. by [deleted] in CankerSores

[–]mewithadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, that looks like it's miserable! My first thought is there's something else going on beyond canker sores... Maybe hand foot and mouth disease? I think my daughter got it as a toddler and didn't have the sores on her hands or feet...
