There are horses ...

Then you must visit Woodstock; it's just lovely and very near Quechee.
Some fantastic horsey stuff around there, too, especially if you're a Morgan fan.
And don't forget Ben & Jerry's!

Re: Trader Joes Recommendations

They have this soup that comes in wax-paper cartons that is just divine. My favorite is the organic roasted red pepper and tomato soup, another fave is butternut squash, and there's one that corn and pepper too, I think. Whenever I go to TJs I stock up on these, they're great to take to the office ...

Re: (swim, not riding) Lesson etiquette advice?

I think you should proceed just as you said, Moonshine. Keep it friendly but make it clear the course you wish to take: have Coach 2 teach butterfly (tough stroke to learn!) and reassure Coach 1 that you'll be back once DD's 'fly is solidified (if that's what you ultimately decide). Like chantal sa...

Re: Clinic organizing 101?

As someone who has organized clinics and shows for close to 20 years, my most important piece of advice is: after you ascertain what you are going to charge (taking into account all expenses), make sure that everyone who signs up pays up front. EVERYONE. No exceptions, no excuses. Otherwise you get...

Re: You go girl...errr, Your Majesty

I wish she'd wear a helmet too but she's been riding for probably over 80 years (!) and I seriously doubt they'd put her on a pony that's any kind of a yahoo. I'm sure that pony is well schooled on a daily basis just in case Her Majesty feels like going out for a spin. I'm also sure that just out o...

Re: Simple pleasures. The grilled cheese sandwich...

Good gawd, I've been obsessing about grilled cheese lately and lo and behold, a whole thread about it.

Must be the weather :)

I recently stumbled across this list and I want to make and eat every single combination! Make sure you have a napkin ready to catch the drool.

Re: How do YOU define Intellectual Property?

I did my best to delete all pics and personal threads from UDBB, what's left is what I don't care so much about if it gets into the wrong hands . yes, this was all a wake up call and why I don't participate much anymore. Wake up call? Among other things, what on earth do you expect someone to do wi...

Re: bathroom remodelers?

Air jets are the most sanitary, as no water or dampness remains in the supply lines or jet area, to grow mold and other yucky things :mrgreen:

Re: bathroom remodelers?

If you really want a jetted tub, get one with air jets. They are quieter, cleaner, and you can add stuff to the water and it won't gum up the works. Some of them even come with chromatherapy :)

I've always like the Bain Ultra brand tubs.

Re: New horse, need help with a name

Looking in the thesaurus, a couple of cute words related to 'Rosette' come up.
I like 'Twist', 'Bow' and 'Prize'.
And of course you could always call her 'Ribbon' :D

...a favicon for DDBB? I am so used to keeping my BBs tabbed, having a recognizable graphic would be much appreciated.

And, it would seem a little bit like home <sniff>.

PS - it seems after the initial whirlwind, traffic on UDBB ob Facebook has dropped off considerably.
