Re: Are you going to vote for Hillary? Why or why not?

If we can apply that to all the conversations here where people feel insult and not limit it to the board owner then that might be legitimate. I'm sure lots of misreading and misinterpreting goes on but fingers are always pointed at other posters as being the meanies while those that do much of the ...

Re: My Horse is a Wimp

Ha, any horse that can go full bore down a fence and turn back a large steer is not a wimp. He is a prince.

Mine don't mind the cold so much but a couple get squirrely when it rains to hard (yeah in the wet PNW).

Interesting. There's 3 or 4 arenas within a 3-4 mile radius of mine and we all allow haul ins. I do understand that the minimal income doesn't really offset the impacts.

Re: Do you "like" your own posts on Facebook and here?

I think for those that have business pages it is a exposure-marketing thing. Probably has some merit. Personal stuff, no. just creepy.
