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

Good morning to all!

Suzie, I'm going to import you to my house so you can clean what I thought was already clean.  :-)  You are a tornado of energy!

PsychoChaplain - Aren't we already BFFs?  I *heart* you!

Sunny, I'll take it all and maybe share with my horse.  ;-)

I am still baffled by the biopsy results and angry for having probable false-hope in my head.  I'm doing my best to shut it out (You STOP that, brain!  You stop that right NOW!) but it's still there, whispering, holding balloons, and painting rainbows.

Lippizzaners are amazing!  They mature more slowly than other horses, and the demands placed on their bodies through training necessitate a longer "growth" period.  My horse, a warmblood, also matured slowly.  He's turning seven and was just started under saddle, but I'm fine with that.  I'm convinced he'll have fewer problems with lameness now that he's fully mature.

No, Sampson's a Hanoverian/Oldenburg cross, but he's more the Oldenburg "type."  Yes!  Come and visit!

Blue - can you ake musinex ( well, the generic?) that really loosens the gunk, also of course, sudafed ( generic) but some with high blood pressure can't use it...ANYTHING to drain ye ole head frull of gunk - I swear by my neti pot, use all the time

BLUE - if you're reading somewhere there's criticism of , I think you might mean "chemosabi" - you are reading JUNK JUNK JUNK - please leave the poisonplaces alone, nothing there to nuture, really, PUHLEEZE just let that negativity fester where it belongs, not here, NOT HERE, NOT HERE - you keep posting what you LOVE and we love - those flowers on a wooden screen are already in my TO BE PAINTED file....THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU...

hugs to all the Spangled Scooter Gang on Horseback!

ATHENA - send someone to update us on YOU....

I second Sunny's request to Athena!  It's hard to carry on without knowing what is happening to our lioness.  Hopefully she is just getting the treatment she needs and will be back soon.   I miss her.  Athena!!!!

E- that is the oddest biopsy results I've ever heard of.  I know the PetScan results in lesion signatures in the form of SUV uptake values (how fast the lesion uses glucose) and BC has it's own value range.  I remember, as there was no mistaking my 8.3 value as cancer.  Still, you want to know the characteristics...er+ etc.   Sheesh.

We're having beautiful weather here in California, which has been great for retirement, but I fear it is going to be a very bad fire year and lots of bark beetles killing our Pine trees, should the insect cycle coincide with this drought we are having.  It's supposedly as bad as 1977, which was not a good year for the forests, but with the overall increase in our average temps, due to climate change, even if only 1-3 degrees, we've gone from our average big fire being at most 100K acres in the 1990's, to 300-500k acres since the turn of the century, during our dry summers. Fires have a purpose, but at that size, they create havoc with air quality, wildlife and water quality.  Ok, enough of my soapbox.

My neighbour planted some lily of the valley near our mutual property line. She apologized when they wandered into my yard. No apologies necessary!! - anything that blooms lovely flowers is welcome wherever it decides to grow in my yard.

sniff, sniff, sniff, yeah, Lily of the Valley lovers -

gg - in a BIG pot, lotsa rich soil - bet they'd love it.  Lotsa shade...

I'm concerned about BOTH of Athena's illnesses -  very difficult to maintain stability during stree, surgery...

thinking FASHION thoughts for her - Kate Spade handbags, full of US and our goodies, candies, chocolate, WINE  -hugs.

sunflowers - no room for even a pot right now, but soon, hopefully
