They do?
To: Overtaxed
Yeah.... people bring them right to your door.... piping hot!

My daughter and I love the picture of your horsies! It looks so cool with them running in the snow!
To: HairOfTheDog
Yeah, well mine has tomatoes on it and spices....not that old bland cardboard stuff.
To: SuziQ
The thing I love about the two of them is that they are always in perfect cadence. Soldiers are not in more precise step. It isn't a fluke, horses are really quite rythmic. Look at the pic on my profile too... Whenever they run together they are in step, which is quite a feat for the pony with her much shorter legs!
Well, if you like ponies in snow... Here is one more of pony running that day!

I don't eat the cardboard that comes with the delivery stuff, but I am sure yours is better anyway! ;~D

we have a picture book called "Paddle to the Sea", I loved that book...Mom read it out loud to us, after which my brother and I immediately made little wooden canoes to send off...unfortunately ours never made it much farther than a couple hundred yards down the creek...
To: Corin Stormhands
Corin, glad to hear your son is OK...yeah, I guess we didn't show much mercy on ya while you were off helping him. Can you forgive us? ;-)
To: SuziQ
Your brothers sound like cool guys! If we can get a White Mountains hike set up, be sure to bring them along! I could probably find at least one brother to drag along. ;-) I just wish time wasn't slipping by so fast - hard to believe October is already almost half over!

OK, you guys wanna hear the latest news on my office project?
I went to the hardware store and the paint store yesterday afternoon, and told BOTH places what the situation is and asked their advice. They both said that it didn't sound like I needed to do anything major, but that I SHOULD try getting that last old layer of wallpaper off. I asked the paint store folks how to go about that, and he told me it SHOULD just come off with hot water, and that I could mix in some vinegar for the tough spots. I applied it with just a roller, and it WORKS! Old wall paper scrapes right off, easily. And they said all I have to do after that is spackle and paint. I don't really have any major holes, so I don't think I need the joint compound. The drywall is in pretty good shape, actually...a few scuffs, but nothing major.
I did get some primer, as the paint folks said it's really best to put on a coat of primer especially if you aren't painting over anything but bare drywall. So that should help as well.
I probably won't get around to painting for a few more weeks...I still have two walls to strip, and then I need to go over all the walls again with a sponge to get off old paste before spackling, sanding, and priming.
To: SuziQ
Suzi, I can't recall...was your dachsie a standard or a mini? I've heard standards are more likely to have back problems, but I guess some minis do too. I'm don't know how I'd handle something like that...sounds like you guys made out OK, but I would be heartbroken...
Fiona's family background (pedigree, I guess I should say - she's a DOG, not a person!) seems to be pretty healthy that way. But EVERYONE has to bring up back problems when they hear I have a dachshund...it's aggravating. People don't react the same way to Labradors, for example, though there are FAR too many poorly bred Labs around here with hip problems. I know of a whole litter where multiple dogs had to put down before they were two...but no one brings it up the instant they hear someone has a Lab.

Wondered if y'all had seen this thread... I have now! Hair pinged us, too...thanks!
To: Overtaxed
Hi Rosie. Just listened to the clip. Sounded good to me! Now why do you have mike fright? Glad you enjoyed it! As to the mike fright...part of it is just that I'm not as good as Jim and Bill, so I'm already a bit self conscious. And then...I start paying attention to what notes I'm playing instead of just playing without thinking about it...and I get tangled up and lose my place or play the wrong notes. If I relax, I'm fine, but I tense up! I'm a lot better than I was...I guess performance is another skill to practice - it's more than just playing.

I think it was called "Hitty." It was about a doll ("Hitty") that was made I think in Colonial America. It follwed the dolls travels over about 200 years. I think you're right about the book title - I'm sure the doll's name was Hitty. Another great book! I think my sister still has that one.
To: 2Jedismom; SuziQ
I like my hobbit name from that site - Angelica Gardner from Dwaling.
I like Rosie Cotton better, though...
To: RosieCotton
I think they just look like they would have back injuries because of their long structure. You don't think they look vulnerable?
My friend's mini ended up with increasingly bad arthritis in her back, but then, you are right.... so does my cocker mix, so that is not a doxie-only problem.
