 'Tit's okay. I'm just psyched a few people clicked on the link! Right before I went to bed last night there were only about 5 clicks to see what I wrote, and one of them was mine makin' sure the link worked!
Right after I posted, there was a woman in the stall pulling the baby (okay, foal) out of the mamma horse (mare). I still don't know if it was a boy (colt) or a girl (filly), but haven't logged on yet today to see if they put something on their website to tell one way or another. I don't see any nuggets hanging down, but I don't think the camera zooms in to check under the hood.
That website, marestare.com has oodles of live cams posted on the internet for people to watch horses (even donkeys!) give birth. My boss was on IM last night and I let her know and both she and her daughter got to watch it. I think they are hooked! Good clean entertainment...well, maybe not CLEAN...even I was ooged out at seeing what I can only imagine was the placenta hanging out of the horse until she expelled it. But still, of all the junk out there on the internet...good stuff in my opinion!

Go spit! (sm)
Snorkel masks fog up all the time. To stop that from happening, you rub the inside of the glass with seaweed. Chances are you don't have seaweed hanging around your house. When you are snorkeling and can't find seaweed, next best thing is spit. Yeah, I know. You spit in your mask and rub it on the glass, swish it in the water and you are good to go. If you don't want to spit, there are products you can buy to defog stuff.
You can Google: spit antifog and go to the site named JAWS. They offer a product actually called Spit Antifog and it's good on 'anything that fogs', including windshields, ski goggles, and eye glasses. Even Amazon.com sells it. Not as fun as seaweed, not as gross as spitting on your glasses, but probably as effective!
mine spit his out at
3 months and used his thumb instead. He is 6 and I still catch him sucking his thumb in his sleep. At least you can take away a pacifier. I say don't let them have it after about 18 months. They don't need it then, it is a crutch.
I wonder if a little vinegar would remove
the smell because of its pH level? But then to get rid of the vinegar smell...HMMMM...Be safe and use the Arm and Hammer baking soda. =)
Magic of vinegar.
Everybody always tells about the magic of vinegar. I got to learn firsthand today about it. I pulled a real stu*id one this morning, left some food in the microwave too long remembered it when I smelled it burning. Pulled it out and it was black and stunk up the whole house. I opened all the windows, froze my butt off (it's cold here) and no luck. I looked on the internet and found a site that said to boil some water and vinegar on the stove and it will take the burnt odor away. I used about 3 cups of vinegar and 2 quarts of water and simmered it on the stove for 3 hours and the smell is totally gone. What a relief. Thought I was never going to get rid of that odor. Now all I smell is the roast I have in the oven. And no, it's definitely not going to get burnt! 
I'm so mad I could spit nails!!!
Okay, let me start off by saying, I'm writing this for the primary purpose of venting. I'm not asking for advice or expecting support, but I would appreciate no bashing on this one.
I have 2 boys playing little league this year on the same team. Last night they had a game against the 1 team I really wanted them to beat. I absolutely cannot stand 1 of the kid's mothers on the other team. She is at every sports function and likes to run everything. She is very pushy and will do anything to have her kid come out on top (suck up to the head coaches, offer to run the boosters, make ridiculous posters to hang on her front porch for the kids on the bus to see). You get the picture?
Ordinarily I keep my distance from her because just the sound of her know-it-all voice gets on my nerves. Last night I stood in the same spot I always stand in. My kids were the home team and I was near the first baseline (my kids play first and second base and pitch). She ends up 3 feet from me. The first couple of innings were fine. Let me say that I do not boo the other team or make any remarks at all about their players. I am there to cheer my sons' team on and my sons.
Now to the technicalities, the last 2 games we have been short an outfield ump. The only ump we had was the one behind the catcher. Usually when this happens, if there's someone in the bleachers who's willing to ump the outfield, they can make $10. Last night, this guy volunteers, who happens to be this other woman's dad (hence, the grandfather of a kid on the opposing team). As unhappy about this as I was, I said nothing. I figured he deserved the benefit of the doubt.
He made several calls early on that seemed fair, so I pretty much dismissed the bias I thought he might have. Then about halfway through the game, we have a runner on first and third and our kid up to bat. He hits it and the runner on first goes to second while the runner on third goes home. The ball made it to the infield and the shortstop tries to catch the runner going to second. Our runner makes it second base just before the other kid does and the other kid ends up on top of him and he drops the ball. Now, the outfield ump (gramps), calls our kid safe and we got a run in. The catcher ump turns around and calls the kid out, saying it was a forced play and he didn't have to tag the kid and he thinks the other kid made it to the base first. How he saw that from his distance is beyond me. Secondly, when he called the kid out after the fact, he gave no explanation for it. The coaches didn't even know.
Now this is when I got a litte irritated. I yelled out that our kid was on the base first and the other ump called him safe. I'll admit I was a little heated and was talking rather loudly to my mom. I was not talking about any of the kids. I was stating that the other ump's eyes (catcher's ump) must be pretty good to see that far away when the ump who was right there called him safe (gramps). I probably did go on a little longer than I should have, but it not only cost us a run, it also gave us 3 outs to end the inning.
At this point, the woman sitting 3 feet away, says "Enough already!" I turned and said "I don't think I was talking to you!" I then turned back to my mom and the 1 coach and asked what the call was and why. This woman then addresses me by name and begins telling me the rules of baseball. Now mind you, this woman has never played baseball in her life (we went to the same school) and the only kid she has in baseball a son younger than my oldest. Furthermore, later on in the game, she had no clue what the infield fly rule is (and even I knew that one), my point being she doesn't know the game that well. So after she starts telling me this, I looked at her and said "I've heard enough of out you!"
Needless to say, 2 bad calls later, we lost the game. I'm still fuming. I realize this is only a game and it's not our first loss. But this woman's know-it-all attitude really has me PO'ed. She's been picked up for shoplifting and I really wanted to explain to her what shoplifting is and why you shouldn't do it, but I didn't. I know I'm going to have to see her at every sporting event because she pushes her kid to play sports year-round. She had 3 kids before she even got married and milked the system for all she could. Now she's a daycare provider and I actually took my kids to her once years ago, before I really knew her, and my kids hated going there because all she did was watch TV. The kids had to be quiet and they had to watch her shows. They weren't allowed to go outside to play until her soaps were over.
Okay, I feel better. I just really needed to vent this one. I think the next time we play them, I will stand on the opposite side of the field from her and maybe wear earplugs, so I can't hear her either.
I just spit my coffee out...how much
can you get for trailers these days? Honey, grow a thick skin and quit trying to prove you're something you're not! How about a sense of humor.....I always find those that have to boast about what they have actually have the least.
Awaiting your snappy, defensive comeback...
sea salt and diluted vinegar
It burns at first, but really dries up and heals your sinuses. You can use an eyedropper and tilt your head back if you don't have an actual nasal inhaler bottle.
I am so livid I could spit nails! - sm
My daughter's both take dance at a local dance studio. Nothing fancy, nice people, etc, and have been going there now for over 3 years. Last night my 8-year-old left her coat there (denim jacket with embroidered butterflies --from Kohl's I think) and a pink scarf. I thought nothing of it, she'd let coats there before without problem, and I knew I'd be back there tonight for my other daughter's dance class, also I was too tired to go back (16 miles round trip) to get it....she told me she left it there when we pulled into the driveway. So get there tonight and no jacket or scarf. Someone there actually stole it (so it appears). I am so po'ed it is not funny. I made a sign asking for its return, saying "lost", etc, and if anyone had accidentally taken them home with them (though they were both pretty distinctive). I just cannot believe someone there stole them. I see these people 9 months out of the year. This is a very small community with hardly any crime and someone steals a coat and scarf. I called the owner and left a message for her, hoping against hope that she took them home for some reason (they have a lost and found box), but still waiting on her call. If no one coughs it up I am certainly going to make a lot of noise there next Tuesday night and talk to every parent and let them know that someone stole my kid's coat. 
Did Misha spit out the thorns?

"stepping over the body of the same child if it dies of starvation or child abouse after its been brought into the world?"
wtf does that even mean!
Lice prevention -- distilled white vinegar (sm)
After shampooing, rinse hair with 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water, protecting eyes.
My mom used this prevention faithfully on all of us and none of us ever had lice infestation, just shiny hair.
Just had to tell you that yesterday I bought the apple cider vinegar s/m
tablets for severe unrelenting hot flashes. I felt bad all day yesterday and was hoping it was not due to the pills. I only took two because of that. Went to bed early and today I have had a total of 2 hot flashes so far and it is 12 noon. I would have literally had dozens of terrible hot flashes by now. Thanks to all of you who shared your thoughts about ACV and for the dear poster who told me it was available in pill form. I honestly think this may be my answer. I feel like a new person and pray this continues. I can't believe the improvement after taking 2 tablets yesterday!  THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Would love measurements for vinegar pie, can you use graham crust?
Still time for one more pie!
Try scrub ing/mopping with baking soda and vinegar and keeping windows open as much as possible - nm

6 pumpkin pies, 2 vinegar pies and a chocolate chiffon pie sm
So now that I have caught your attention...just what is a vinegar pie, you ask.
In the south, they are referred to as transparent pie. You will sometimes hear it called sweet and sour pie. It is good real cider vinegar, the kind with the mother at the bottom, brown sugar, white sugar, butter and eggs, a bit of flour. It is like water when you put in the shell. You bake it for an hour and it comes out about like the goo in a pecan pie with no nuts. It is not sour a bit, nor is it sickly sweet. It is sweet with a bit of an apple bite. The kids love it and when younger son is home for the holidays, he will devour one of them at a sitting. He literally comes in and sees the vinegar pie, takes one and says: So...what is everyone else having? The other son won't eat pumpkin or vinegar, so he has the chocolate chiffon. The rest of us are pumpkin eaters.
