A year ago I lost a gold chain bracelet - looked all over the place for it. My wife was royally pissed since she had paid $$$ for it, and later she relented and bought me yet another one.

A couple weeks ago I was turning the compost pile and there it was!!! The lost bracelet - gleaming as brightly as ever!

I debated several minutes as to whether or not to tell HER -- but I did and all she did was laugh and comment, "You shouldn't wear your watch and bracelet while doing yard work!!!" My answer is, "Why not? I found it!" (heh!)

That's pretty neat. All my animals are spayed/neutered so I wont get to see any of their progeny but so it goes.

Heh. True enough. Reminds me of the horse communities in real life. It's the reason I lurk on the NG and the same reason I stick to riding the trails in the real world : )

Yup. He's not bad considering he's going on 25 or so this year. He was in the round pen for the first time 2 weeks ago after coming off an injury (stifle) and getting the Very Limited Work treatment. He was bucking and farting and doing crazy spins like a lunatic and the seven year old who was watching said "What's the matter with that horse?" Dad said "Oh he's just too young to have been trained yet." Go figure. I get the one who STILL wears his crazy pants on the outside. Most of the time he's a keeper, though.

My boys (and new mini girl) are

I could walk under that branch without ducking, too. Well, while it was still there, I mean. It didn't last too long under all that draft horse ass scratching...

I live on a old homestead with a 90 + year old house. I have found so many different things form tools, bottles, many beer cans, horseshoes, tiles, pipes, farm equipement and still finding things, Even after rototilling more that once time and years later things seem to appear. The needles use for giving injections to aninmals are a rather scary find but they have been found mosly in the barn.

Oh, lordy, I hope you don't live anywhere were I used to live. That's FLUFFY!!

BTW, the glasses weren't in the dog's jawbone, were they? Please don't tell the cops.
