i guess my worst job was working in a movie theater -- it required no skill whatsoever.

that i used to ride race horses,
that i've been a crime victim more than once, that i'm a descendant of Eric the Red and Leif Erickson...gosh, lots more!!
and those horses are out there now, 10:54 a.m.
love it!!!! Love seeing the animals out there!! And what a beautiful sky this lovely morning!!! Lots of pink in the sky there. *S*
I think Hayseed's piglet and her horses....
are her CHILDREN.....and so she takes care of them like one takes care of their children....SHOOT - YA GOTTA GIVE HAYSEED TREMENDOUS KUDOS for all she does on her farm/land. I get to see the animals on her webcam and they are out there everyday several times a day. It takes me away (CALGON - TAKE ME AWAY) and I begin to feel like I'm in Maine (New England where my paternal family is from), which takes me away from summer and more summer in Florida where I currently live.
KUDOS TO HAYSEED!!!! 
Wow! How nice, really beautiful, you are lucky to have horses!...nm

Does he show the horses or trail ride?
We have horses. There's ALWAYS something you need or want. How about a gift certificate to his favorite tack store? Or something special he wouldn't buy himself for riding? There's a lot of catalogs that cater to horse owners that have some really cool gifts. LOL, one of the gifts my 12 yo neice has on her Christmas list is a gift certificate to Tractor Supply, yeah I know, you might be a redneck if . . . .
Amazing Race! - sm
And Saturday Night Live, (at least on those RARE occasions that they actually have a NEW show, and not something that's been rerun for the 5th time that season.)
The Amazing Race. - nm
Good luck but horses don't change colors
I so get not wanting *to leave with regrets* - so do your thing and don't waste the same amount of time you might have prior!!
The Great Race. Anyone else even heard of it?
 A really goofy movie, I admit, but I like Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Jack Lemmon, Peter Falk. Like OP's choices, too. (Tell me more, tell me more... )
... I gave up! Watched Amazing Race, instead. ; )
.
i disagree somewhat. i don't think this particular issue needs to become a race thing, but sm
i sure think if the government would crack down tighter on all the non-Americans coming into our country, some of this violence would be cut down. yes, americans are violent too, but why allow more? look at 911, if those guys were never allowed in our country, it would not have happened. same thing here. my mother works at a prison and she says hispanics are 90% of the population and majority of them are gangs. i know there are good and bad in every race, it isn't necessarily a race thing. i am only referring to the illegal, violent non-americans here, not the race in general. i am not racist, but i do believe in protecting our nation as a whole. i am just saying tighter security measures and background checks should become priority before letting some in our country because obviously they aren't doing a good job at security measures as a whole.
Larege amount of horses at packing plants/feed lots
coincidentally happen to be TBs. They are a huge throw-away market. Once they are done racing, unless they are one of the incredibly lucky few to be adopted out to knowledgable homes for other careers or are of breeding quality, they usually don't wind up in too good of a place afterwards. I'm a nobody, and I've had 3 of these throw-aways land in my lap. Yes, there are some responsible owners/breeders who ensure these animals are taken care of for the rest of their days, racing career or not, then there are an awful lot of others who see them as the cash crops they are and nothing more.
We had our sixth graders do a sack race and we also had a game ..sm
where they were divided into teams and they had to put on gloves (nice thick winter ones) and open up a Hershey's kiss. They had a lot of fun with both games, but they had a ball trying to open that candy!
I wouldn't do Wife Swap but would LOVE to do Amazing Race!!

Doctor races in Dayona Rolex 24 hour race.
The doctor I do transcription for just got done racing in the Daytona Rolex 24 hour race for The Children's Tumor Foundation. How cool is that.
My morning
My 9-year-old son was late for school and had to run upstairs and get his homework. He was running down the stairs, which he has been told a million times not to, when he slipped on the carpeted steps and proceeded to glide down about ten stairs. I heard the ruckus and went running towards the sound of disaster. There lay my son in a heap on the ground holding his side and moaning as loud as he possibly could. I kept asking what happened and my daughter was more than happy to give me the play by play (with every adjective possible), but her words were muffled under the sounds of his moans. I thought he must of hit the banister, as he was holding his side in the fetal position, but no one could actually hear my questions over my daughter’s story and his moans, so as loud as I could I bellowed, “What did you hit?” All of a sudden, my daughter’s rendition stopped, as well as my son’s loud moaning, and all got quiet. My son looked up at me and very seriously, with a look of utter disgust, said, “The ground!” In a little under 2 seconds I realized what a silly question that was, but what a great answer!!! I have just chuckled over this all morning and thought I would share it with all the mothers out there!
P.S. He is absolutely fine, thankfully, and I do believe making his mother feel like a dimwit was the cure-all!!!!
She ate a little this morning sm
I got her to eat this morning when I handfed her (which made me late to start working but I figured what the heck). Then I thought I would try the cream cheese trick and she took it in her mouth but dropped it and then got mad at me and ran away then tried to pee on the entertainment center. *smile* But no pee came out - so she was either just showing her displeasure or has no pee (which isn't good). Anyway, that is the update so far today. Thanks you all for your support.
Morning, oh most definitely morning!
I'm one of those tools that's always chipper in the morning doing the ol' "daylight's a' burnin" thing and annoying the heck out of the partying folk who don't get started until noontime.
Definitely morning...
I start at 5 a.m., take a break from 6:30-7:40 to get the kids up, ready and off to school, then work until I get finished for the day, usualy in time to watch GH before I have to go pick up the kids, but sometimes not!
It was on GMA this morning...
?
How many of us are up this morning? (sm)
It's 4:45 am!
I know!! I saw that this morning!!!! Wow, how sad is that??? nm
x
Thanks, this morning it was gone sm
didn't look like any disturbance in the area but I wish I could have known 100% for sure that the bunny is back home!! I think he or she is, but wish I knew for sure.
GMA this morning...sm
Did anyone catch Boyz II Men on GMA this morning? They were great! Did the oldie *I'll Be There*, sorry don't know who originally did it, but they did a great job, including all the moves...really good little concert!
They said to me this morning
"Well, why didn't you call us?". My response was, "With four of you in the room, NONE of you thought to say 'Hmmm..I wonder if she got the text'?"
Take it in the morning
I am currently pregnant. I took a test in the PM because I didn't want to wait either. I was certain I was pregnant as we had been trying. That test was neg. I waited 2 days and took another test in the AM and it was positive. If you really want to be sure you can call your doctor and see if you can come in for labs only and get the blood test. That will tell you for certain without any questions and most will do that without a problem and they can run it STAT if you request.
What a morning!
I have spent the last 5 minutes trying to get a "hair" off the side of my coffee mug. Turns out it is a crack. Then I tried to scratch my back with my pen and the pen fell into my shirt and I can't find it. It has to be in there somewhere, right?
Do I need new glasses? Is Alzheimer's setting in? Oh wait, it's Monday...never mind.
My morning's no better --
My husband took today and tomorrow off to get the trimwork painted for our new house. It needs to be done by this weekend -- about 10 bundles of 24 pieces each.
Anyway, we get up this morning and find out the kids don't have school today -- something mechanical at their school needs fixed. Then, we were expecting a delivery today for the new house from Lowe's around lunchtime. The guys called this morning at 8 o'clock and said they're at our new house waiting for our signature. 
Anything else? Oh yeah, I really don't feel motivated to get my lines in -- UGGGHHHH!
Morning Sickness
With my first daughter I didn't have any at all. I guess I was lucky. With my second daughter I had evening sickness. LOL. The only thing that would help with a cup of decaffeinated tea. It lasted I believe just a few weeks. Good luck with your pregnancy.
Third report of the morning...
Doctor starts to spell patient's name...D - i - g, as in Zebra. Yes, he's an ESL and it's too early in the morning for this!
I saw this earlier this morning, as well--sm
and on my start page, they actually showed a picture of the poor puppy! I was appalled at what I consider to be a lenient sentence for inflicting nothing but anger and hatred on a poor defensless animal. Unfortunately, treating these types of people the same way they treat other beings constitutes a crime and violates *their* rights, and would instill a punishment on us far worse than what he received. However, if it was possible to inflict on him the same as he inflicted, I would be the first in line to do so!!! I highly doubt one of his punishments of 48 hours of counseling is going to undo what is screwed up in his brain! But I would surely love to be his *counselor*.
Neither did DD who asked me this morning (sm)
Didn't even know what to tell her exactly. She's a rich brat who is going to beat the legal system, that's all I know.
This morning before my first cup of coffee
"the cat threw up in the kitchen" right behind my chair! I guess sleeping in on a Saturday doesn't pay off. The cat ate too fast. I guess she was famished. Well it could be worse right?
yes, she's still in jail this morning . . . nm

Definitely morning, one of those people who can get
going even before the first cup of coffee is done brewing....unfortunately, circumstances dictate that I work an evening shift.... so I'm pretty much a zombie while I'm typing.
Morning person
This sounds exactly like me! My eyes pop open without an alarm clock at 4:30-5:00 a.m. in the morning. I have trouble keeping my eyes open past 9:00 p.m. It's nice to know I'm not the only one in the world. I get so many "that's weird you get up so early" statements, I was starting to believe them!
did someone pee in your wheaties this morning?
Yes, it was supposed to be funny, sorry you missed the humor.
We had a few flurries this morning
But as soon as it hit the ground it melted. I absolutely hate winter. I actually go into my form of hibernation. I don't leave the house (thank God for working from home) unless it's absolutely necessary. I hate snow and cold. I don't for the life of me know why I live in the snow capital of the Northeast.
Morning star
Wow! Seeing a morning star was worth all of that. I think that is awesome! Yeh, I was tempted to go to Kohls with all those commercials yesterday, but my MT nature kicked in, I was home all day, but rested and got lots of laundry done, even cleaned the garage. Now, I don't feel guilty about neglecting a chore here or there. I'll think of something fun to do tomorrow. I hope it's as good as seeing a morning star. :)
Wow! Where are you? We got 1/2 an inch this morning
s
I never do this. But if you want to be beyond blessed this morning, please sm
email me and I will forward you this amazingly adorable thing about DOGS. I am not really a dog person, but after that, I am now! sniff sniff
I would love to share this with everyone. I rec'd it from my aunt this morning. Looking forward to hearing from a lot of you!
This is the email to use:
I saw this on the news this morning.
Wasn't this at Marshall. My niece is a freshman there. I am in Bluefield, VA. We are all praying for her.
Morning Thunder
I'd like to kiss whomever came up with Morning Thunder tea. Yummm!
Morning Radio
In the U.S., this is the most stolen over the counter medication. Name it.
Do you have a morning slump?
Here lately I have been. It hits around 9:00-10:00. I get so sleepy. I'm sleepy now, but if I take a nap or try to sleep I'll just feel icky when I wake up. So, I'm trying to find things to do until I over come the sleepy feeling.
I saw it on the news this morning
at around 8:30 EST. What a shocking tragedy for the family and team at this time that they expected to be the most exciting of their lives, probably.
That and the story on John Edwards. He sure is an odd one.
What the news this morning said -
That as of this year for sure one of the girls was in another competition and was listed as 14 and now she is 16 because that is what her passport says...I heard there are 3 in question who are said to be 14. I can *say* I am 19 and get a passport from somewhere to say as much, but does it mean I am not really 44??
Crying all morning.....sm
I have been married 15 years....this morning my husband came in and said, "Eric said your storage building is ready!" You might think I would be happy. He thought I would be. The problem is that in 15 years of marriage I have been able to pick out nothing. I mentioned a few weeks ago that I would like an outside storage building. I mentioned a couple I had seen. My husband did not discuss it with me at all but went to the neighbor and had him build a storage building. I have no idea what it will look like, no idea what size, what color, anything. It wouldn't be such a big deal but I honestly don't get to pick anything out.
11 years ago I had just had a baby and my husband picked out our house while I was home recovering from a c-section. He told me this was where we were going to live. He had refused to even look at any of the houses I had liked during my pregnancy. He told me we would remodel this house any way I wanted, get any furniture I wanted. I was so anxious to get out of the rundown noisy apartment building we were in that I agreed to move here. Then of course, no remodeling, no new furniture.
Three years ago I really needed a new car. My husband said he would start looking for one. HE would start looking for one for me. A year later HE had still not found one. I found a used, reasonably priced car and told him I wanted to buy it. He said no. I told him I really needed a vehicle. It was less than $10,000. He finally agreed but was mad at me for a year over it and told his parents that I had gone out and bought myself "a new car". It was actually 4 years old. A year ago he bough a boat for $10,000 that I had never even seen and brought it home and announced we had a new boat. Six months ago he bought a $30,000 truck and took me to see it at the dealership after he had already bought it.
So now I am a b*tch for not being happy about the new storage building. woohoo
I had a wonderful morning and
I stand by what I said. You are not the only one who has worked in pediatrics/endocriology field, others have as well and like I said before, this is a normal age for a girl to start her period WITHOUT having them checked out. Some African American females start much younger than 12- but I guess you have all the knowledge there also, right? Only someone who knows zilch about a young girl would bring up having them checked out about a normal bodily function and listen you sounds like a school marm.
LOL. Thanks. I needed that after the morning I just had. nm
I am in Kentucky and as of this morning in
my area there are still over 10,000 without power since Monday night/Tuesday morning of last week. People use car radios, battery radios, anything they can to find out what is goign one. I sat in my car every hour the news came on and also used my car to charge my cell phone so I could stay in touch.
