Chancellor of many talents! Very kind of you to offer support and education. I can talk skin cancer all the time! I frequently tell people at work that there is no such thing as a healthy tan....and threaten to bring in the book I am published in showing HUGE repairs on skin cancers that were left ...

Was it a dark spot?

Poor Poor Bailey. This second day is really hard on her. She started crying on the way home from the vet. And it was a long trip made longer by road construction! She is resting somewhat comfortably right now and just moaning. But she was crying out this morning. Made me cry.

I guess we should ask, is this a melanoma type skin cancer or basal cell or squamous cell? The latter two are more of a pesky problem than melanoma

Ah, skin cancer. Something I know very very well. Before my career change to computer life, I was a Mohs Histotechnologist. This is a specially trained histotechnologist who helps to map out skin cancers while the patient is receiving surgery. Mohs is generally reserved for larger skin cancers or ar...

I never knew heartworm was painful.

The treatment for it sure seems to be. My heart just breaks for this girl. She has been through so much.

She is currently on aspirin. I am also giving her benedryl to just let her sleep through most of it, I hope. It is HEARTBREAKING. She reminds me of when I was going through chemo. Poor baby. She is just a little over a year old at this point. So, she has youth on her side. She is currently sleeping ...

Poor Bailey. This dog has been through so much. She came from a very abusive situation down south. And now she has been diagnosed with heartworm. She had her first shot this morning and she is crying a lot. Your thoughts, prayers, jingles are requested. And any ideas to help her through this are als...

Sorry that I was asleep at the wheel when things got a bit heated. When I am not working (like a four day weekend) I try to stay away from computers.

I hope Kelo stops by and weighs in! Looks like I missed most of this. Discussing dressage and cow horses is probably my favorite topic and I could go on and on, but I'm not going to get in the middle of people hating on western styles of riding. We all love our horses, we love learning new things, ...

Funny, I just did this. I got a call from someone telling me that my google business account was missing information and might need to be suspended. I know that 1. Google is not going to call me. 2. I manage a few businesses on Google and the information is up to date. 3. if the data WAS missing, I ...

Sometimes, it would be good to agree to disagree without making it personal.

Ten or twenty years later, I think the victims should be honored for sharing their stories, and if there is an organization that will pick up the case and investigate, I don't see anything wrong with that. And if they are sharing things that have been clouded by bad memory? What then? That is the w...

I'm not a fan of no tolerance as a blanket rule either, but our society's proven over and over again of late that it's unable to police itself. Just look at the Catholic church and Penn State abuses. Obviously self-policing is a bust, but whether the *perfect* solution is Safe Sport or not is above...

It's our collective duty as a society to protect kids. In doing so, we (again, as a collective) can't make random blanket exceptions for 14yo A who acts with maturity and agency v. 14yo B who need a parent to advise. I'm horrified thinking about the trauma so-called "trusted" adults infli...

I have started multiple responses to this thread and deleted all of them. Abby has said a bunch of my thoughts here. I do think there is a need to protect athletes. But I am not sure safesport is right. We need statutes of limitations. Let's face it, people's memories are not always clear after so l...

Hi Chance - the mass will be on June 22 in Vienna. Today's mass was small but meaningful. There were a few of Karl's students in attendance, and some lovely memories told by one of his Gloucester friends. Lynn played a lovely piece on the piano, with a wonderful clarinet accompanying her. Most peop...

I am in vienna now. I can't find anything which says there will be a mass here. But if you see something, please let me know.

My trip of a lifetime has started. IT was a bit rough as Boston traffic made us late. Air Canada wouldn't take our bags. So, we drove to Montreal for the second leg of our flight. But here we are in Vienna. Today is the Spanish Riding school. I'm so excited I could barely sleep last night. More pict...

Thank you Wicky for posting this. I will unfortunately, not be in the area. I am in Vienna.

Okay, Xan, how the heck do you see his hind pasterns hitting the ground. Not doubting you see it but wondering HOW you see it.

WHOA! He is GORGEOUS! Congratulations! We will need lots of video and pictures when he arrives.

Anyone remember the old Seinfeld episode where George Costanza thinks of all these comebacks AFTER the time had passed. That was me this weekend. But I was thinking of how I could have taken the high road (No, really I WAS).

I work with several of these. Good news is that they're not nearly as slick as they think they are; other people do see right through them, too. And there is absolutely no glory in trying to get them to admit they're wrong/don't know what they're talking about. You just end up looking like a terrib...

Things were just odd. This guy talks a really good game. One of those people who can sound like they know what they are doing....until you delve a little deeper and discover he is the wizard of Oz. I did not quit. Although I do still have two job interviews coming up. He is now going to go back to c...

For the foot thing: she tapped various places on the sole until I could feel the tap go up thru my leg. She placed that spot on the stirrup, then illustrated how my leg coukd flex thru the hip. She moved my foot slightly, and suddenly my leg was locked: zero flexion thru the hip. A definite eye ope...

I'm definitely not Miss Manners....but I don't see a reason not to cut the pieces of meat. Couldn't they take two pieces if they wanted?

This guy just takes the cake. He has all sorts of opinions on everything but can't really come up with anything tangible. Whatever. Two other companies have just called me for interviews. I think it is a sign to get outta here. I have almost made it. Just need to make it through today and tomorrow m...

I've been with him for 40 minutes. He is already starting.

This is NEXT week. You may well see me on the news.

Thanks. Yes, that is Chancellor!

You can't get into a Pi**sing match with this neanderthal, because as you are the only woman you will be seen as instigating, not retaliating. I recommend that you remain professional, be gracious in your replies and just move on with your life. Having been the only woman in a male dominated group,...

This is the man they have picked as my "backup" despite his knowledge being very lacking. So, I only have to work with him for four days in the same building.

And, now, my worst nightmare has come to fruition. They are sending said chauvinist here. And I have to work with him for four days

Several years ago, I had the good fortune of taking many lessons with him. In this picture, I am being longlined by the master.

Rest in peace Karl!

I was lucky enough to ride with Sally Swift herself. And it was an amazing experience. The foot in the stirrups thing was an eyeopener for me as well.

To put the coverage in perspective... KD moved to later in the day to also get left coast viewers. The stuff we consider "fluff" is stuff that is broadcast to try to appeal to the general public, not the horse savvy viewer (which is really a small % of overall viewers). Maybe by showing w...

Anyone watch? I am so disappointed every year in it. When ABC had the coverage it was earlier in the day for one. But it was all about the horses. I mean, do we really care where the jockeys are going to walk down to their horses? Seriously? And do I really care about which horse some stupid NFL pla...

OMG! Scruffy! I am so sorry. That just sucks sooooo much.

Tuddy, I am the same as you. We cooked this to medium and it was delicious. I didn't even mind that it was "just" medium.

I made this last night for my friend's 50th birthday party. OMG, it was soooooo yummy. The roast was incredibly tender and succulent. The caesar crust was very very tasty!

I have done this with my sister. She is toxic. Sadly, when we were young, we were more like friends than sisters. I just don't have anything to do with her. If she is at a family function, I choose not to be there. It's just not worth it. The last time I saw her was at my parents' 50th wedding anniv...

My boss, who was copied on the email, corrected him on the spelling of my name. I was happy to hear that. I am trying to use piedmontfields advice here. Just making sure I am competent and right before I speak. I don't think I could do ANYTHING to pad his ego anymore Rosie B. First, he isn't offerin...

I’m no help. I don’t even think there is a feminist card, just a bunch of women who have experienced similar (and sadly, much worse) on an ongoing basis forever and whenever we get fed up and point out the frank and blatant bull shit, the men call us bitches and insist we stop bothering them with t...

Sadly, I am the only one in this site with the programming knowledge. He is addressing a team of 6-7 men who are all in corporate IT....none of them is really on my "team" and are not even in this site. I MIGHT be able to get Hal to address him to say "let's ask Laurie who would know ...

I am not one to play the feminist card. I work in a male dominated industry as a software developer. I do not work for my company's IT department (THANK GOD). A fact which irritates the heck out of the old boy's club of our IT department. There is a guy down in corporate in NC who apparently has som...

Oh, sounds like a great trip! My parents loved Vienna, but I've never been there. IIRC, Zonderpaard lived there for a few years; she might be a good resource for insider info. She doesn't seem to post here but is active on COTH. I actually have a friend who lived there as well who is helping. But t...

Michael and I are finally going to do one of my biggest bucket list trips. We are going to Vienna in June for our 16th anniversary! A friend of mine who is a travel agent has an in with the SRS so we are doing everything that we can with that. Hopefully we will do some wineries and castles. Anyone b...

All I can do is commiserate. Houseguests are the worst!

Each of which is in one person's opinion... I like numbers too. Numbers can often be spun to fit the need or desired interpretation.

Ain't that the truth?
