But I love TBs! I think I'd go broke on the transportation costs from KY to CA though. Wish I were closer : (
I have a 1-eyed senior Morgan, 1 senior "crazy" Arab and young pony with locked stifle, not to mention my 4 dogs, 9 cats and a parrot; all rescues or "free" (although those of us who love animals know there is no such thing as a "free" animal - lol).

It's as simple as that.
Any horse people out there? I need
a website, similar to this one, for help and opinions about horses and their issues. I already subscribe to Equus and Horse Illustrated as well as a few online newsletters. Thanks!
We have 2 dogs and a horse
The dogs are Patch and Bud, and the horse is named Elmo.
Over the years we have also had a dog named Rascal and a guinea pig named Oreo.
Well, I'm as big as a horse lately - so it's perfect ! LOL (nm)

What a gorgeous horse!! sm
I am sure he is just as happy where he is now as he was with you! You saved his life once and he won't forget that! Bless you both!
Emily Ayn - my horse, Dog
You asked for pics? Well here you go! LOL
This is Blackjack, my 2 yr old stud colt. He isn't scared of anything!
That door is my garage! the front is closed, so the only way he got in was to go up those stone steps. As you can see he already terrorized everything in the backyard! Not to mention, when you walk in that doorway there are cabinets on the left and a freezer about three feet in, so there was barely any room to squeeze in! (Also a lawn mower is parked in there, and all kinds of other crap!)
He also likes to walk up trailers that teeter-totter (like the ones they use to haul tractors) and I believe he would come in the house if I let him!
I used to vacuum my horse! He loved it! (n/m)

I belong to several horse "boards"...(sm)

Feel free to e-mail me personally if there's anything I can help ya with! (just click on my name). Best wishes!
no, they don't ou ever see a *horse* change color?
Wannie: You have said you married and divorced your DH x3....I can just imagine what a roller coaster that must have been. So, how did YOUR *horse* change colors? *curious* ...via therapy? Intense therapy would have done it - that's the only way....
But then if I married the same dude x3 - I would never tell the world it wasn't working out (if it truly wasn't working out).....goes along with my belief of 3 strikes and yer out.......
perhaps not for you, but for most........perhaps you just *lucked* out...and that's GREAT if he truly turned the corner and remained turning the corner....it's just one never hears that any longer...
Best of luck!! 
Likening a spouse to a dog or horse...
imagine if a male doc suggested treating a wife like that; the outrage would be heard round the world. Maybe acting like adults and having a conversation like a married couple would help. How demeaning to treat a husband that way. Where do you women find these men that you have to "train"? Gesh, I always thought my DH was fabulous...now I am CERTAIN he is!
I visualized a horse, love to ride
and today I was given a beautiful paint gelding
Agree with that! Looking down from her high horse on the rest of us?!!!

Live CAM--watch horse have a baby (maybe!)
Too cool not to share is all...This is live feed from a farm in Texas and I guess this mare is due to foal any time now. Thought animal lovers might enjoy it.

oops, my response there was to mighty high horse..

Happiness is a heart thing; pleasure is a head thing.nm
When you said when you are BOTH free
tells it all. You have gotta be kidding! If this person is married or just in some type of relationship, he is a read jerk for taking up with another and you are just as foolish to carry on with something that happened years ago. We have all been through first loves but I grew up and was contacted by my first love (15 and contacted at 31) with his trying to get me to go out with him, he had a wife, and I would not even consider. It was a nice thought that he still would want to see me but I had very much moved on. You need a reality check.
Oh, sorry. It is free, but I know (sm)
registering for sites is a pain.
This one is free.

Wow, is it really for FREE?...nm

How about free AVS?
That is the only antivirus I have on my personal computer. Does anyone know if that would that protect me?
No free visit.
It was $75 to adopt her because they can't find a spay scar. I got a $10 certificate towards a rabies vaccination and $40 toward a spay.
I finally got her to eat some catfood, I know not the best thing in the world for her but I just wanted her to eat anything at this point.
I think she might be puking too from all the hair she's chewing off herself. I don't know how she's doing that. The bottom front teeth are broken down to the gum line and her top teeth are broken at different levels and she's missing one completely.
Hopefully whatever is going on is easily treatable.
Sugar free
My husband is diabetic and my oldest son is hyperactive. We use splenda. For Kool-aid we just buy the old fasioned with no sugar and add the splenda. I actually use is everyday. It works in everything except for brownies and fudge and things like that.
We are actually making pecan pie, pumpkin pie, choco-cake and even cranberry sauce for thanksgiving with it. Give it a try we did and it is the only "sugar" in our house now.
Good Luck
try going sugar free if you can - sm
no sugar made me feel 20 years younger. sounds strange but it is true.
if you are presently on sugar, it will be hard for a few days, but really worth it. i personally cannot do a gradual weaning off sugar but need to go cold turkey. same with white foods - white bread, white flour, white crackers, white whatever. i eat protein, protein, protein when getting off sugar. fish, skinless boneless chicken, every 1/2 hour if you are hungry. after a day or two, you will not want sugar or white foods. you will be satisfied with lean protein - the less beef the better - and vegetables. and no milk or milk products. sounds strange, i know, but i would be willing to bet my next paycheck that you would feel 150% better. eat like that for awhile and then start adding back in the foods you cut out. one at a time. gradually. maybe one food every 2 weeks. and notice how you feel. your body will tell you what it does not like. yogurt was the first food i added back in and right away my nose started running, clear drainage, knew that i could not handle yogurt.
that is just what i have done and what works for me. not medical advice at all. just my experience.
Do you work for free? What vet is going to work for free?
p
Uh...this is still a free country and one can--sm
participate if they choose to, negatively or otherwise. I see plenty of other discussions where people have differing opinions about different things, negative, not liking, etc., and no one says any thing to those people...well, sometimes they do, but I thought this was a forum for everybody to participate, negatively or not, not just for those who happen to agree with what is being posted. There were plenty of people complaining about the Anna Nicole Smith threads too, and they participated, but no one told them they were angry or ill.
yep it is a free country and
that is why i can post that i thought * nn * sounded angry, deeply angry.
and it is MY OPINION that you sound very young. maybe in 10 or 20 years, you will get the gist of what is going on here.
give it a rest. i know i am.
Free Concerts
The NYS Fair has a lot of free concerts every year. A lot of older acts or acts that used to be big in the 80's. It's actuall a lot of fun. Example - Billy Ray Cyrus last year and Rick Springfield the year before.

Wow..wish we had a nit free policy. sm
I agree she DOES NOT need to be in school. This family has been educated on lice and the health department came to help them clean last year. They are just LAZY. I do not need to embrace the family and help them clean up the lice like the above poster mentioned. I am with you...nit free policy and no school if they have them!
gluten-free
This would be a great idea for my daughter, who NEEDS a gluten-free diet but is young, very busy, and has a hard time finding/fixing gluten-free foods. . Not sure if there would be a huge market for it, but it would sure be great for her.
my shipping is free - you must have
found a different web site - it varies a bit with suppliers. mine is healthysuccessonline. If mac and cheese is not palatable (NS - was totally disgusting - I had to spit it out! breakfast is powdered eggs -gag!) and you have to throw things out, it isn't very cheap.
Suggestions for free fax
I need to have a fax number for about a week. Any suggestions? I started to sign up with e-fax for the free 30 day trial but they want credit card information, etc. and I don't want to be charged automatically. I think my computer has fax capability but I don't have to time t start learning how to use it. Thx
yep - and his victims are free to sue!!!
Tax Free Holiday
I'm posting this here and in the WAHM forums, this link shows which states are having sales tax exempt shopping, when they are having it and what items are exempt. Everyone (Especially MTs) could use to save a few bucks.
http://singleparents.about.com/od/taxfreeholidays/2007_Sales_Tax_Free_Holidays.htm
I know the link says 2007 in it, but its for 2008 (as in my case NC is this weekend).
Tax free shopping
Thanks for the information. I haven't checked yet to see if NY is included, but I know we do have them every year. We usually go, we have what I think is a higher tax than most states. I know the poster below equated it to shopping the day after Thanksgiving, but I love it. I find it challenging and for me it's the start of Christmas shopping for the family.
anyone want a free Tb racehorse
They would be suitable prospects for pleasure riding and/or eventing. My daughter in KY knows of 3 horses that the owner will give away to a good home, 4 yo gelding, 4 yo filly and 8 yo gelding. E/m me for more information. Thanks!
Free Scissors
Follow the link below.
there are free websites you can
download music from -- limewire.com and frostwire.com are 2 of the ones we use. You can also buy a membership to these as well, but it's not necessary.
No, never had free childcare
I did not live in the same town as my family and had to pay and it was hard because when inhouse if child sick then you have to find someone outside there. When the youngest child got in school only went half day, so back to a babysitter again for half day after school. My son about 8 years older so had latch key kids because my job was in a hospital, not sitting at home. I thought about what would happen if my husband died because I work part time now and I thought to stay where I am would probably want to take in some renters. I have a big home with 4 bedrooms (1 is my workroom). My daughter has her own house and she does the same, right now by her doing this is paying over 1/2 her expenses each month. I have always had the "what if" so I try to at least think of a plan just in case. I made extremely good money in the past and it is hard for me to understand why women sit around waiting for work or not making enough to exist on. I know women make less but in that case I just work more to provide. I do not need a "halo" or even a St. Amy for taking responsibility for the people I brought into this world, no one else. I had no more children than I could afford. More people should think about this before having kids unafforable. Have a friend similar situation husband dying. This friend not old enough to get either social security but in 50s and had to go back to a penny-ante job after not working at one for about 40 something years. Talk about pitiful. I have always believed women should work just like men and have something to fall back on if the need arises.
free museum day
We went to free museum day and saw the red hat ladies having tea.
fat free diet
I would give them some skin and some fat or their coats will dry out. I trim the meat and give my dog what I will not eat. That is still better than dog food!
Free Donut Day
Free Ebirthday cards?
Anyone know of a good free E birthday card site that is easy and you don't have to sign your life away? Blue mountain now makes you sign up for a trial but wants credit card.
google free e-cards
Hallmark and American Greetings I know for sure have free ones that you don't have to sign up for...just google! Good luck...
Respect or giving up your free will.
If she wants to go to church, and have that church a major part of her life, why should she give that up. He shouldn't have to go if he doesn't want to either. Sometimes divorce isn't a sad/bad thing.
is this the Flea Free your friend uses, SM
I have been desperately looking for an alternative to the topical treatments, as I do not want to put chemicals into by animal companion systems. Would like to know more about your friend's experience with this product and is it the same product, Thanks.

I'm valentine-free by CHOICE! That's because it .....
:P
It seems to me neutering/spaying should be free
If it would take the burden off the shelters not to mention to cost of euthanize and disposing of the animals, free neutering/spaying would be the answer.
At this point, I feel that the SPCA is a failure. Many leave tons of money to the SPCA (my grandmother did, I know for sure) and I just cannot figure out why the problem is as bad as ever. Yes, we are in ag country and many first generation immigrants here from Mexico do not spay/neuter; almost as if it never occurs to them it is important.
I have a call into the Rescue Group. I talked to her earlier in the week and she basically said they were full.
Yes, am at my wits end. Just separated two from the other three and things are quiet now. They dug out of the area where I had them. Found several areas where they were digging so that explains why they were so quiet the first few days (excavating full speed ahead.)
Thanks for your reply ERMT. I needed someone to talk to as this painful for me.
I believe we are still free to choose our battles here.
Just because you are an all-or-nothing gal doesn't mean I have to be!
