All rightie then. Caught up. Got a bit more to do and the rest of the loading bits and then it's off to Points South to see the weasels.

Safe trip...

How do they not take care of their horses?!?

I will preface this with not all Amish are the same. I dont think being Amish is a precursor for not caring for animals..I was speaking about the rescue alone.....they rescue a lot of previously Amish owned animals.... there are a lot of equine animals ( horses, mules, donkeys etc. ) that are neglected by lots of different people... my bff was president of the humane society in her county for 15 years and she has told me stories of blindness from head strikes, overgrown or traumatic injuries to hooves where the horses can barely walk, overuse injuries (too heavy loads for too long) that have caused arthritic changes to joints. Untreated cancers that cause horrific pain, unfloated teeth so they can't eat...horses teeth grown so they can get sharp points that cause pain so they won't eat, malnourished because of poor quality or not enough food. Whip mark scars ( you don't have to beat a horse to make it work and if you do you are the problem and an asshole) etc.....

I dont think animals are people...they don't need to be treated like people.. but they deserve basic care....and kindness

I amuse myself that oats are still made the same ol' way.


They may not be.


I may start buying horse oats from the Amish and cooking those.

I had a doc friend whose dad was a vet. When he was a kid he got horse antibiotics..... when he told me that I was like ...whaattt?!?

She does manufacture a lot of what's not going right with her(self).

Mine does too...the constant reassurance is a lot for me to handle

I changed the burned out lightbulb on my front porch yesterday. I had to climb onto a chair to reach it but I got it done! I'm ridiculously proud of myself!

May I suggest a small step ladder the next time. It is safer. After all, it’s hard to get a feather massage if you are in a cast!

 

[Missk_2022]

They do, at a basic change-the-oil level. They also work them. Horses wear out. Those are the ones we see. Like Boxer on Animal Farm.

Yeah.... I get the worn out part..... I am not talking about that... there is a large difference between worn out and neglected/abused

Good morning MissK and Wat. Spring like weather for the week! I hope everyone is adjusting to the time change.

I do love the 2 walks with my old dog yesterday.

Giving these sweet poodles a pasture to retire too....

I like steel ground oats and make them by soaking them overnight. They have a wonderful nutty flavor.

You're supposed to be the timekeeper, S!

NOW? You tell me! Good Monday morning to you!

I take it, maybe, you soak them in milk? I have done that but have not recently. It is nice to have to cook it. I would usuall add some nuts.

You're being too nice!

Yes milk and sometimes half and half

See you folks tomorrow as getting grandpa’s taxi warmed up.

Doesn’t time speed up or slow down in a black hole??

Askin for a friend of course….

Relativistic effects change time with speed and gravity field, yes. Actually atomic clocks that in go satellites need to run at different speeds on earth to be correct once they're in space.

Then there the effects of how time slows when you're a kid traveling to see your relativistics in back seat of your parents car. Otherwise known as the "are we there yet effect"...

If Fed Ex and UPS merge, would they call it Fed UP?

This reminds me of the joke:

I heard Netscape and yahoo were both acquired by an Israeli company.

They’re going to rebrand it, Netanyahu.

You are here by officially instructed to get a 4' stepladder - a proper one, a good one - and to cease using chairs, inverted five gallon buckets, or a box of dog food - as a Vertical Enhancement Device. Please, desist forthwith and hereinafter.

Agree. Safety first!

I haven't eaten processed cereals since I was a kid. I'm fairly certain the processing is MUCH different now than it was 50 or so years ago. If I eat grains now, it's things like brown rice amaranth, and quinoa.

I still eat some processed foods, but I try to be selective about it. Chocolate is my downfall!

The wife will very occasionally buy a small box of lucky charms. I may or may not admit to stealing a bite or two when she has a bowl. I may or may not load the spoon with the marshmallows when I do...

I like them too. Old-school steel cut oats.

Took a trip into the woods today. Pretty sure we won't see pussy willow until late April at the earliest.

That stream looks cold.

I’m going back to all the threads and posts that I missed over the weekend.

This looks awesome, and promising that the stream isn’t frozen over. Spring is on its way, brother.
