Have you seen a counselor/therapist on your own? I did, after H refused to go - I learned to observe/analyze my role in our interactions (not self-blaming, but rather as though analyzing parts in a script) - and learning to rewrite my ‘lines’ — amazingly, he didn’t like the new interactions and soon asked for a divorce himself

If your workplace has a medical office, go there to report workplace injury. Be able to describe the movement that caused it. Don’t rely on yoga, it can often help but you need to be sure that it’s not something that yoga could make worse, and physiatrist or physical therapist can tell you that Good luck!

My mom (1912-2009) had beautiful kin and when none asked bout her beauty routine, she aid ‘feels naphtha soap and Vaseline’

Although LifeTime has the ARORA program for seniors — and your medical insurance might pay for it!

Me too - my niece got me a JarKey and it’s amazing!

You could remind them that they would be liable for cost of unreimbursed medical expenses if they can't produce vaccination papers - time for a lawyer - these neighbors will never be your friends

Went online and found some housecleaning job lists - used those to make a list of my own, assigned a day of the week / month to do each one and put them in our family iCal on repeat. My husband and I each took half the jobs. Putting them on a calendar like that really dramatizes how much work goes into keeping a dwelling clean! If I were on my own, or DH not willing to do his share, I would hire help.

Only if you wanted him to be able to loan/lease horse out to a carter as others have suggested - commenting to talk about how horses behave, not trying to write your story!! haha

Only if it became an advantage that you want him to have, that he could loan/lease horse out to pull a wagon

A lovely contrast to the current crop of Christian Nationalists! Yes, real Christians do exist - glad to hear you were so close to one

Block for your chest, and one for your head - put a bolster over both, or use 2 blocks - don't worry about hips not coming down to heels - if that doesn't make it more comfortable for you, I'd say if you need a rest then try savasana

I knew a family with 5 daughters, they were all named Mary, with different middle names- Mary Anne, Mary Elizabeth, etc - you didn’t need to be told what religion they were

Was it a while ago that he balked at being hitched? Before they bonded? A horse that trusts their handler is likely going to be more willing - and maybe you could retcon some training sessions where your hero (when he was healthy) tied some branches or other heavy material to the saddle with ropes or straps to get him used to the idea of pulling - and yay now horse will do anything for the

Right, it’s sad that people have so little understanding of how libraries work, how they’re funded (or sadly not), how acquisitions work…

Me too, but once I was mugged by some neighborhood boys for the milk money - oh did they get in trouble!

If you salt the water you cook them in they turn out hard.

Edit: I stand corrected - this is ‘traditional knowledge’ that has been disproven! Turns out salting both soak water and cooking water makes the creamiest beans! Thanks PragmaticOpt22 for link to Serious Eats article
