Small note: he’s not Catholic, he’s evangelical protestant. It was because of him that most Americans outside of the Bible first heard the term “born again."

He is an NSH. He was a halter and color champion many times over. Now he’s just my arena buddy. He was a 9 yo, unbroke, stallion when I bought him but it was love at first sight. Got him gelded, then we bonded while I was doing the daily exercises. He let me ride him bareback before he was broke to saddle. So much…

So I feel the need to share this with other Martha fans. Anybody else remember Martha By Mail? Long before the internet and such, she operated a business via catalogue and phone. Anyways, Saturday I was at a thrift shop and found her yellow ware three piece mixing bowls. The entire set priced for $8. I nearly screamed…

Real talk: infant clothing is incredibly rewarding to make as a knitter. Works up quickly, finished product is hella cute, and even if you use top dollar yarn, usually not that expensive. And then, when you gift it away, you are the boss of that baby shower.

What IS it with that? I rode horses when I was 10 though 12 and literally my favorite part was at the end of the lesson when we had to wash the horses down. Not that I finally mastered a skill, all I cared about was taking my horse over to the washing area and hosing him down and scrubbing him clean and brushing his…

This is my boy. No fancy modeling, he was running like a crazy horse and then stopped. Just a twist of luck the camera had been following him.

Probably the much simpler technique of braiding the hair while it’s wet and then undoing it when it dries.

Libertarians are a menace to society.

To be fair, that is the Libertarian party’s basic political platform in a nutshell.

The stories they told at Edgar’s Mission made everybody cry. One of the pigs had come to them stinking of weed and curiously mellow, but covered in graffiti. He was found in a laundry covered in his own excrement. Left to their own devices pigs will walk a mile from where they eat and sleep to go to the toilet because…

Casting a celeb of some sort is pretty standard these days for Broadway revivals that would otherwise lack buzz. Gotta get those tourist butts in the seats at the half-off TKTS booth!

I also read way too many of those seventeen/YM mag embarrassing stories as a kid. I haven’t had my period in 3 years but I know it would pop up the second I put those pants on.

Just, in general, as a rule, don’t order Domino’s.

Yeah, once you stop noticing it, it becomes less of a thing. Sometimes, I do look at my “zipper” (best of 1976 suture technology there!) and wonder what that must look like to other people, as I’m strolling around in a tank top. But if anyone is like “Ew, gross, what happened?!” THEY’RE the rude one, and so I don’t…

I’ve had a gigantic scar down my chest my whole life. I grant you, I’m used to it because I’ve literally had it since I was 2 years old, but it has never occurred to me to cover it up. People don’t even ask about it much anymore.

I hate one-pieces for the opposite reason: LONG torso means I’m always pulling the suit out of my butt crack. I’m all about the bikini top and boardshort combo. And if anyone doesn’t like seeing my corpse-pale mom belly, they can look somewhere else.

You’re my hero.

The whole “just wear a black one piece” thing still haunts me. I was obese until I was about 25. 70 pounds off* and almost 33 and I can’t bring myself to wear anything other than a black, “slimming” one piece. It follows you.

I see a lot of pregnant women wearing bikinis. Apparently they fit better.

That “full figure” woman looks damn normal.
