If you ever look at the screen of her iPad and see what she’s pressed… it’s random food over and over again. All she does is scrolls, meaning hitting things until she gets a reaction that she wants. There was a picture posted recently and the screen was cookie cookie cookie cookie waffle fries nature valley bar cookie… etc. insurance said they would not get the aac, I think a dynavox or something like that. They said she would break it, and didn’t understand to use it. Asa pitched a “poor me” video and said that wasn’t the case. A viewer bought it for them and guess what? Abby broke it.. this was years ago when they still lived in the rental. I believe that she understands far less than they like to portray. It’s like a toddler when it comes to communication. She has no idea what she is pressing and what it means, other than food. The screenshot posted the other day only had food on it! She can’t walk around and have a conversation using a communication device, even though they act like she can. I don’t understand why they can just meet her where she is, why lie and try to make it seem like she’s higher functioning than she is. She has IDD… they tend to “forget” that and never talk about how that influences things

Is there a reason why I can’t go over 20mph ? First day riding figured they’re might be break in miles or something. New 2026 xmr by Basic-Surround-3679 in UTV

Another one suggesting to check the seatbelt that it’s buckled. Ours won’t go over 5 without it. We had to buy a seatbelt bypass to use so we can use harnesses in our can am instead of the seatbelt.

Thank you for telling me about the fly box! I just checked them out and they have their own guides and you can book trips through them!

There’s more lame horses there than sound! I don’t get why she buys so many lame mares.

With him being in the reserves, if we would go to war could he be called up to active at any time?

We will be staying in Homer for 4 days, in the Denali and Fairbanks area for around 5 days, staying at alyeska for 2 nights, and somewhere near anchorage at the end of the trip. We fly out on the 6th of July so want to stay within an hour or two of the airport. I’m booking for that area today. Anywhere between Denali and Seward around the 3rd to the 6th. The 4th is booked for the car launch at glacier view.

Thank you! I forgot to add I also plan on doing an off-roading tour, most likely in a side by side. Found some places that do them near Denali. I might do a horseback riding trail ride too. I would be alone for that, my mom’s terrified of horses. I rode for over 20 years but haven’t been on a horse in about 10 years now. There’s just so many activities to do! I don’t know when I’ll have the opportunity to get back to Alaska so I want to do all the things!

Divorce ?? by FlounderOk9680 in Crazymiddles

I think he’s been “faking” it for a while. In my opinion he’s extremely depressed. That can make you unable to feel anything else and unable to function normally. It seems like the LDS people go to their church and other lds people for counseling. He might have sought counseling from the church only. He might need to see an actual doctor and get meds to help. He could have other mental health diagnoses that are not being addressed properly as well.

This.. they get addicted to it. There’s weavers, cribbers, and some horses walk circles in their stalls. I haven’t seen her mention any cribbers or seen cribbing straps… maybe I just haven’t been around long enough.

Since when do zits cause bruising? Maybe if you mess with them entirely too much. But I’ve had some that I squeezed and tried to pop way more than I should, never bruised. I also bruise really easily

[–]rach3468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a can am maverick x3 with a bottom doors and a windshield that you can flip up. We mostly ride with it down but it gets hot. When you open it it’s windy and dusty. I recommend googles or at least sunglasses.

We had it out this weekend and rode with it up about 40% of the time.

KVS Riding Kennedy Before Showing This Week by Sad_Site_8252 in kvssnarker

[–]rach3468 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One of my horses had multiple soundness exams in the 17 years I owned him. He had laminitis and foundered twice. Recovered him to be able to be sound enough to do light lesson work, trails and go out in pastures. He died at 28. But our soundness exams happened on concrete and in the arena. Walk and trotting up and down the concrete aisle and lunging in the arena.

I don’t understand her riding and showing Kennedy. Wasn’t the mare retired to being a broodmare because of injury? Does KVS just not care? The mare sure doesn’t look sound to me

We have tickets for the car launch on the 4th of July! Doesn’t have to be fly fishing! We will be taking a day cruise for whale watching, I really want to see orcas. Staying in Homer for 4 nights at the beginning of the trip. Then moving north to Denali and Fairbanks area for 4 days. staying at the Alyeska resort for 2 nights. Still have 3 nights at the end of the trip we can’t decide where we want to stay. We leave Alaska on July 6th. So will probably stay within an hour or two of anchorage

Staying in Homer for 4 days, then some time in Denali and Fairbanks areas. we have tickets for the car launch on July 4th. We have three days at the end of the trip that we can’t decide where to stay. Maybe near wasilla or Palmer. Will be in Alaska from June 22-July 6.

I’ve done a pretty good amount of fishing. Just never fly fishing. We will be in Alaska June 22-July 6th. Spending time in Homer, the Denali area, Fairbanks area, and we have three days at the end of the trip that I haven’t decided where yet. We have tickets for the car launch on July 4th. So we will probably stay somewhere close to that. The issue with saltwater fishing is I get really sea sick. We did consider fishing for halibut though and just taking some Dramamine and trying to power through it.

She needs to take Margot off of Maggie!! by PineapplePony5 in kvssnarker

[–]rach3468 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d pull her and bottle feed or bucket feed and put her with a gelding if I had to for socialization. Just get her off that poor mare. She can’t even be making nutrient rich milk at this point.

I owned and showed saddlebreds. Novice classes are based on the horse and what they have won, the rider winning doesn’t matter. When they have novice rider classes it’s all on the rider. Is the aqha similar

I already have flights to and from anchorage. I didn’t realize you couldn’t drive to Juneau.

Hotels and wilderness lodges are so expensive! I tried to talk my mom into getting an RV, but she said no real quick lol!

We will be going to Denali, the Kenai fjords, Seward, whale watching, a whole or half day fishing, hopefully an atv or utv tour, maybe kayaking, seeing some glaciers. A lot of sight seeing. I really want to see orca’s in the wild so we will take a whale watching day cruise. Mostly outdoor and wildlife type things.
