I haven’t posted here in quite some time. A while ago, I noticed digest versions of the forum in my inbox and have been meaning to check it out (since I never had this place set up to email me anything.) So has there been a change of ownership? (I don’t see Lil Beginnings anywhere.) Not...

There was a thread last season about gardening. I can't find it, so... What are you all doing??? In prior years, I always got started too late. So I tried to do better this year. I've planted cool season flowers (like pansies, snapdragons) and cool season veggies (lettuce, onions, brassicas.)...

My husband is a sweetie. The delivery guy screwed up the husband's XMAS present. ...so I was right there when the new Apple music machine was delivered. I'm supposed to be figuring out how to get my songs onto the new IPOD. ....love the husband; love the thought. But I'm rather frustrated...

I've been twitching over the cost whenever we take the husband's truck in for service. It's in there now, and this time it also needs new tires. So we were checking out new trucks. I don't like to make payments so I was hoping we could downsize a bit. Maybe go for an extended cab vice the crew...

We've had Coco since Jul 2011. To date, I've never been able to walk up and halter her in the pasture. She's pretty good with a lot of other training, but she refused to calmly allow the halter unless she was in the stall. I taught her the command of "INSIDE" and then she would go into one...

Any opinions on how many inches a horse tail grows per year? Poor Nicky; his new nickname is "Bucktail Bob." Nicky acquired burrs in his tail and mane; I thought we had ridded his pasture of them all, but after a recent windstorm he rolled in a bunch of them, plus rolled up a bunch of fallen...

My topic was supposed to be: Wolves and Bears and Guns, Oh My! (but I finger-fumbled it and hit enter by mistake.) So... I was reading that a half dozen of the reintroduced wolves have been spotted in Northern California. Good. I hope they wander on down to San Francisco and eat a couple...

If Trump lasts that long, I just may vote for him. He's hilarious. He's upsetting everyone's apple cart--from media pundits to career politicians. I'm not sure if I enjoy more that he's upsetting media types or the politicians; they all need a "shake-up" in my opinion.

So where's that Bowe Bergdahl report? It's getting close to a year now and we have zip, nada, nothing. As a prior service member, this one interests me. I was Navy, so perhaps things are different? ...but I golly-darn-guarantee you that if I'd missed ship's movement, I would have had to pay...

I don't know squat about driving. To keep Baby entertained I got her a pack saddle (with no intention of packing.) She's about wore that one out; took her two months. So I think we've made a good start, as in she's accustomed to having all sorts of strappy things all over her body. I'm rather...

I hate the Geico pig. I hate the Progressive lady ... to the point I cancelled our insurance and (made a mistake) ended up paying a little more. oh well, I still hate seeing Flo ten billion times a day. I hate the shiny green, phlegm character advertising some sort of cold remedy, or whatever...

After our first two minis came here with really bad shave jobs (and the accompanying razor rash) I was adamantly against any type of hair cutting/shaving. But I think it's time for me to relax and "do it." Nicky's and Coco's tails are starting to get rather long. Both of them sometimes walk on...

I've been reading the thread on how much hay to feed a mini. And I'll try not to be sensitive, because if I'm doing wrong I need to know; our Baby deserves better than my dumbness. So I have a couple photos and would like honest opinion if she's still too fat. Last winter/early spring, we were...

If you haven't been keeping up on our neck of the woods, the voters of WA state have just made all our lives safer by passing a gun control initiative regarding background checks by about 60/40. I was part of the 40 percent voting against this initiative. In my opinion, the vote would have...

I've been doing some upgrades on my computers. I'm trying to figure out whether I broke some forum features in the process of upgrading or whether there are some known issues with the forum software. Right now I can no longer quote. Example: I tap the Quote button, nothing shows up in the...

On another thread (about free-feeding alfalfa and/or grass hay,) I mentioned Baby's laminitis episode last spring and was reading the comments regarding shots/sedatives given all at the same time and their effect on laminitis. In the spring, they'll all be due again and I'm really not feeling...

I thought quite a while before writing this. There are some proponents of free-feeding on this forum whose opinions I respect. And I have no wish to offend them. Jan 2014, we took Baby (our little filly, born end of May 2012) to the vet hospital for laminitis. Prior to her vet visit, we’d been...

So, I've been working on getting a pack saddle for Baby. I've been trying to figure out when a young horse finishes growing. I'm not concerned with height; although, I've noticed that one of the mini horse registries "sets" the height when they're 3 years old; the other makes you wait for 5...

Every now and then, when reading on the main forum, I see mention of GMO; usually it's couched in terms that indicate GMO crops are BAD!!! Then, in other posts, the same person may say that they feed some sort of supplement like Omolene or Triple-Crown or beet pellets or sweet feed drenched in...

Does anyone have any input regarding propane heaters appropriate for a greenhouse (or sometimes used in people's workshops?) We have a Modine Hot Dawg externally-vented greenhouse heater that took a dump. I think it's a 45 (based on cubic footage of the greenhouse) but not sure since I have not...
