    I cant tell if you're just being funny but anyone who rides knows that saying "ho" is a very common way to try to calm down ones horse. To me that felt like Rinna had ridden in the past because I've not ridden in years but I'd know instinctively to say that if my horse was getting out of hand on me. Mind you, the only two who seemed comfortable on horses were Teddi and LVP, and LVP always looks so fake on her horse, like she just barely rides. To be honest, I wouldn't take a group of people riding ever, too much can go wrong when people who dont know horses try to ride 'just for fun'. Oh, and Kyle looked ridiculous on that pony. She showed how short she is in real life, it was so odd looking.

     I agree with Teddi telling her to sit back on her pockets but I was also surprised she didn't have her do a one rein stop.  I am a barrel racer and I despise when people use "ho" or "whoa" when going to turn a barrel. "Whoa" or "ho" means stop not slow down. I always use the word "easy" but you could use any word except one meaning stop! LOL LVP thought it was funny but I have seen some horrible wrecks on horses. In 2005, I was warming my horse up at a show(a barrel race to be specific) and there was supposed to be a CLOSED gate for each competitor when one woman asked the gate guy if he would leave it open because her horse would not stop at a closed gate. First big clue she shouldn't be competing on this horse! Well, he kept the gate open and she could not stop her horse and that huge paint horse t-boned me and my very well trained horse. She flew off of her horse and her forehead hit me in the base of my skull and I hit the ground, out like a light with a severe concussion. My horse took off and suffered a career ended neck injury.  I could have easily been killed that day had I been a small kid or an elderly lady(there are some very tough cowgirls in their 70's that still compete)and I have ridden and competed all my life.  Anyway, horses should be taken very seriously as they can easily killed or severely injure people.  We have many horses on our ranch and I only have one that I would trust with a non-rider, but even then I still am very watchful when they ride. 

    I also agree with you that LVP does not sit a horse very well but Teddi rides verrry well.  You can also tell that Teddi was the experienced one in that she didn't lose her cool while giving LR instructions.  People have got to remain calm no matter how scary the situation can get with horses.

  2. Can anyone help find the old Purina Dog Chow(I'm pretty sure it was Purina) where the girl is trying to get her puppy to climb the outside(brown balcony) stairs and his/her name is "Casey"/"Kaycee"?  They then show the dog able to leap up the stairs as an adult and then barely making it up them as an old dog.  This commercial has to be more than 15 years old because I remember seeing it and thinking it was adorable and I would name my future dog, "Kaycee".  I did get my sweet black and tan Dachshund girl and I named her Kaycee. She turned 13 in Novemeber 2017 and is still going pretty strong. I have never forgotten that commercial and would love to see it again. I see where, I think it's Subaru is using the same type of ad with a Lab named "Duck" trying to get into the car as a puppy, adult and then an old dog. Nice try Subaru of stealing Purina's old idea! LOL  Can anyone find the old commercial for me? I would soooo appreciate it. TIA

     

    I found it on YT and it is an Iams commercial with an Irish Setter. 

    I'll try and ad the link

  4. All i could see was a true PCOS patient in Sarah and her mom. Buffalo back-check. Skin tags,especially on neck-check. Severe weight issues, obesity-check. I am shocked she didn`t have diabetes but maybe she has not been diagnosed but surely she is insulin resistant. I have several friends with this metabolic disorder and it really needs to be addessed by the healthcare industry. My best friend committd suicide 20 years ago and had all the signs of the disease. Now I don't think that is the reason for her suicide but she suffered from bi-polar disorder and I think many mental health issues can be traced back to hormones gone out of whack. It's simply a theory and ymmv. Unfortunately, I had to have a hysterectomy with ovaries removed and the balancing of hormones is truly for real. I have learned more than I ever wanted to about hormones but I can see so many diseases and problems that arise when they aren't fine tuned. I guarantee if they checked Sarah`s hormones her estrogen would be low and her testosterone and possibly her DHEA would be high. The world really needs to care more about women`s health because it is the bottom of the barrel.

    I feel bad that Sarah's first experience with the ocean was Galveston. Pick. My husband was born and raised there and we both agree it is just not an appealing place. If they weren't going to leave Texas they should have gone to South Padre Island, much prettier beaches.

  5. "Ooooooh I love that summer feeling...." The welcome to San Diego commercial makes me smile because our Dachshund puppy came from San Diego and now  lives in Texas with us. We call her our SoCal girl. I'm not sure where this commercial airs around the country, so sorry if some y'all haven't seen it.

  6. Oh the scene with Lisa and Ken broke my heart, too.  Poor, sweet Pink dog.  My heart goes out to any of you that have lost a sweet furbaby at any point.  I am in my early fifties and I can still remember my first loss of our family dog. I was in the 4th grade and I was crying over her and a boy laughed at me.  Obviously to this day I still remember how much it hurt.  I have lost a lot of animals through the years and it is just so incredibly painful but the joy they bring me is worth it to have even known them.  I lost my best friend when we were 31 and I always tell my doggies that she will be there to take care of them when they go to heaven(All Dogs Go To Heaven) and I will be there someday.  Speaking of past lives, I actually think I was a dog or some sort of animal because my love and compassion for them is boundless.

  7. I get a kick out of the Progressive commercials where they accuse people of turning into their parents. The one where the wife thinks her husband has turned into his mother is my favorite.  "You see it, right?" Bwah

  8. I see where others have brought up the Subaru blind guy commercial. I loathe this commercial with all my being. The blind guy seems like an asshole and the premise is so ridiculous. I agree with others that think he takes them to the woods and muders them!  I get stabby at most "hipster" commercials.

    The other one is the plaque psoriasis commercial. I hate when the so called friend shows her the computer with information on the drug. She says, "You should ask your doctor." and  I always scream at the tv, "You should fuck off and mind your own damn business!!"As if! Her poor skin is inflamed and you think she hasn't seen a doctor or at least checked "Dr Google"! Damn know it all.

    When I do have  beer I like it on the rocks 

    That is so interesting.  I am not crazy about ice in my soft drinks so maybe that is why I think it would water down the beer but hey, don't knock it til you try it, huh? Whenever I drink a soda, not too often, I will drop it in the freezer for 10-15 min and let it get icy cold. Yum!

    Every time I see a family of three or four kids and it's all one gender and then the last one is a different gender, I always wonder if that last gender was the one they wanted when they made that second, third, fourth try lol. It was the same with my parents - he wanted one of each. I came, then my sister came and they were convinced she was a boy, and when my mom got pregnant again my father refused to even go to any the appointments or talk about it until my mom confirmed it was a boy. And funnily enough, my brother and him had a terrible relationship and he was closest to my younger sister. Some men are super weird about having boys and then when they have them, they don't have good relationships with them at all. It's crazy.

    Missnoa, I feel the exact same way when I see those type of families. I guess we can empathize with those others that weren't the right gender.

    I wonder if his sisters have any issues from being so disappointing that Dad had to go out and fetch him a boh.  In the pic we saw of Mom holding LB as an infant, surrounded by delighted little girls, Mom looked very very dead-eyed and unhappy. Maybe she was just sleep-deprived but I wonder who really wanted to adopt?  I sure hope it was Both of them. 

    Ugh, I know how it feels t be a second daughter to a dad that wanted a boy.  My parents had some infertility issue trying to conceive their first child, my sister, and then I came along fairly quickly but my dad just needed that boy so 4 years later my brother was born.  My dad and my brother don't really get along that well and my husband took over the family business but I think deep down my dad would rather have had my brother take it over instead. My brother tried to work at the family business but just didn't care for it so he left and is now running his own company in a completely different field and is very happy.  There was no adoption in our family but when parents make it known that you were born for a purpose it puts a lot of pressure on the poor child(ren).  Coincidentally my sister had two daughters and she pushed the youngest to play basketball and basically chose her college for her. I don't think my niece is all that happy with devoting her life to basketball but she is just too "soldier-like" to refuse my sister's wishes.  I am a rebel so it makes me cringe when I see her not have a mind of her own.  She is definitely my sister's mini-me.  My sister was the one in the family that followed my dad's lead and still does to this day.  As for my older niece, she gets ignored by both her mom and my parents(her grandparents) because she didn't do what they wanted her to do. Family dynamics can be quite screwed up.

    L.B. needs to stay away from that toxic family and only visit on occasion.

    One more thing, what the hell is up with ice in beer? I had never heard of that and it sounds disgusting!

  12. I am in central time zone and I was asking myself, "I stayed up for this?" So many things going through my head as I watched this "cheese in a can".  If the house is on fire this badly, why do they all wait for St. Jack to save them?  Why wasn't the dog a worry as soon as they show St. Jack and Kate?  I'm a huge animal lover so maybe everyone does't think this way, but if Kate loved that dog so much she would have immediately said something about saving the dog.  Isn't St. Jack too healthy to go from sitting on the hospital bed making painfully corny jokes to being dead? I'm with Dminches, highly unlikely.

    however, it sounds like the birth mother was very morbidly obese, not just like 300 pounds range for the adoption place to say anything.

    She was born around 1963 or so and back in the day it was very unusual to see a morbidly obese person heavier than say, 350 lbs so yes, I'm sure her mom was heavy just not the weights we see today.  I had an elementary school teacher in the 70's that seemed absolutely huge(300 lbs-350 lbs range) at the time and today I doubt she would even get a second look for being so heavy.  People are SUPER SIZED nowadays!

  14. I am so waiting for this house of cards to come down. Wig just doesn't deserve any success.  Those kids are total brats and Ariana seems depressed.  She is so lost in that sea of kids that Kim barely knows. 

    I, too, was shocked at how terrible Brielle's skin looked.  

    Kim can stop the boo hooing about her parents as she is just as gross as her own mother, actually she is probably worse.

  15. As far as hormone testing for women, I can attest that the numbers rarely show what we REALLY feel like and it is well known by most clinicians that symptoms rule not test numbers.  Unfortunately, I had to have a full hysterectomy with ovaries removed a couple of years ago and I have seen many(way too many) doctors and all run labs and sure as shootin the numbers are all over the place so now my doctor only treats for my symptoms.  Sex hormones can change by the minute so it becomes quite useless to do blood, urine or saliva testing to try and get to a balance. Hormones are so very hard to get balanced but once you do life is soooo much better...but then something throws you out of whack and here we go again! Grrrrr, I want off of this damn ride.

    WONDERFUL nod to MST3k!!! Love it!  I only needed to see the previews last year to know this would be a show straight out of a can of Cheez Whiz!  I absolutely love to hate watch it.

    So sorry to read about your pup, Raider. Considering the sensitivity about your own situation, it would probably be upsetting and disturbing for you to  watch the video. You don't need to see it to imagine the scene. 

    Aww, Happy Camper, thank you for the warning.  My sweet girl is doing really well and is still running and chasing the other dogs.  The seizures happen so seldom now that I sometimes forget that she suffered from them so often and so severely.

  18. I am just now seeing this about the vid and chose not to watch because I have an 11 year old Dachshund that has had seizures since she was about 5 and is pretty well controlled now but on the rare occasion that she seizes it is so very heartbreaking. I can barely call my husband from another room because I am dying inside and trying to be calm.  The room needs to be dark and quiet and I need to keep my wits about me when it happens...very hard to watch and it still hurts my heart to go through it.  Who videos a sweet animal/dog having a seizure???  Oh, Beth, that is who.

  19. I think Siggy is off her block but I will stand up for her when it comes to the hormones because she had a hysterectomy and I assume ovaries removed. I never suffered much from PMS except migraines and I had to have a total hysterectomy with ovaries removed two years ago(premeno at 47) and it has been pure hell trying to get my hormones straightened out. I have tried to go without and I became suicidal. Even on a low dose of estrogen I am just not my old self and it is scary and sad.  I do think that the pellets are a very tough way to get hormones because if the balance isn't right, especially too much, you are suffering for many months before they wear off.  You can NOT remove them once they are in.  I wish more women would speak up in the surgical menopause dept and even the menopause dept because I had NO idea what would happen once I lost my ovaries. Hot flashes are the least of my problems as sleep went away for a long time and I am just now starting to get a whopping 4-5 hours straight. I never had anxiety or depression before the hysterectomy and now I do.  HRT is very important for those of us that have lost our ovaries. My heart breaks for those women who have lost their ovaries due to cancer as they usually can not take HRT and if they are premeno the drop in hormones feel is like falling from a cliff with no parachute. It is brutal.  I know not all women go through this when they have an oophorectomy  but a large percentage do and it is kept a secret from those of us that come to the scene after the fact and doctors are usually no help when you just can't get your estrogen balanced on one or the other route of delivery.  I don't care for Siggy but I do hope the pellets help her because your f-ing emotions can be all over the place. Sigh 

    Sorry for the soapbox rant. ;)

    LOL I was sooooooo late! Supposed to be born on the 5th, born on the 25th! To a 41 year old Mom and that was 59 years ago!  My Dad came home for the birth (in 1958!) and I was so late he built a beautiful coffee table that my parents had all their lives. I have it my home now and I'm so proud of that table and my late story that brought it into being. 

    Have fun guys!!!!

    What a very sweet story. I was supposed to be born in late Sept in the the late 60's and was not born until Oct 25th! Monroe's birthday!  I was actually hoping that she would stay in there until my birthday. My mom always thought they got her due date wrong but did think I also just didn't want to come out of there. LOL They did finally induce.
