I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Susie, gotta love those little critters deemed our intellectual "inferiors." Suuuuure. As I've mentioned before our yorkie had us completely under control within three days of our attempts to "train" her, hahaha.

Sad that the world economy is such that people have to resort to theft to survive. Plus, her children saw a very bad example, and unfortunately will tend to repeat behave similarly as adults.  

Sure hoping something gets a handle on your pain Blue.

Wishing a good and relaxing day to all! 

Good Morning!

Been busy - yesterday went to the barn and then got my hair highlited and trimed.  My hairdresser (is that PC now or is there another name?) is moving to Portland, Oregon.   If anybody needs a GREAT hairdresser in that area - let me know.  I love her because she is actually from Fort Worth and understands "Big Hair"   She has been with me through thick and thin - losing my hair and then growing it back and has taken special care of me because of my BC.  She has been doing this for 30 years.  I took her to dinner after my appointment last night.

In any case, the week is going to go very fast as I have another horse show next weekend and it is a 2 day show so I pretty much am going to live at the barn next week.

DH left again this morning to go work on a CT scanner in a small town - they only have one CT and it is "down" right now and there are no others for miles and miles.  Hopefully he will get it back running today but I think it is going to be a LONG day for him and then he has to drive 2 hours back home.

Hope everyone has a good weekend and will check in later.

Bren - you and I are on opposite sides of the weather enjoyability spectrum, for once. Today in DC was actually a day of great air quality with low humidity. It was, dare I say, tolerable. It always takes me all summer to get used to the heat. 

Glenna - The problem lies with our entitlement society. I don't mean that economically, but behaviorally, and that is why young people have such crappy work ethic and show no accountability. Teenagers and children here are taught "you are wonderful, you are great, I don't want to say you're not perfect because it will affect your self esteem" (add soppy violins), so if you don't want to follow the rules, it's OK....you are just being true to yourself, and that's what MATTERS."

...and other bunkum.

I sound like a republican. I am when it comes to personal responsibility. The little buggers should be kicked out OR the management should enforce its rules. I was taught to rise to expectations from day one. Today's helicopter-parented children are taught that if something goes wrong, it's a grown-up's fault.

Thank you for listening to my rant. :-)

Just did 9.79kms (6miles) on my bike - woohoo!!! Lots of bugs swarming in the air - so going out to buy some glasses or visor for the helmet. That will be my new distance for a week or so, then I'll increase it a bit more.

LOL - there is a Tour Down Under - held down where our daughter lives - definitely not up to that.

I am loving The Huffington Post's headlines on Ryan these days.

Athena -- Reminds me of little kids:  one kid thinks playing tag is a great idea, but when his "arch enemy" says okay, all of a sudden he'd rather play soccer.  And then when his "arch enemy" on the playground brings out a soccer ball, the first kid decides tag is the better game.

Chick -- lantana and esperanza are new terms to me.  What do they look like? 

Thanks Chick!  I love the look of the esperanza, as well as the name!

Train wreck is an awesome term for it...  What a mess...

Good Afternoon!

I read the altie threads you guys are talking about.  I just steer clear of posting on them.  It's very tempting though!

I used to use the "one, two, three" count on Luke.  He thought it was funny!  Maybe I should have threatened him with that spoon.

Hope everyone is having a good day.
