CHIT CHAT in VOLTVILLE

[Renolizzie]

Good Morning Volties! Have some Sumatran coffee. Hubby just handed me a cup

Well, lots to do today. Maybe get someoutdoor stuff done before it turns windy. Need to head to Fallon and take care of business and do a little shopping.

Took my little horsey for a walk yesterday. He did really good until the neighbor stopped and he got bored. When I got to the corner, he could see some other horses and was gazing and gazing at them. I'm going to work on finding him a horsey friend

Have a great day.

Here's a good night clematis growing on a neighbor's fence. Not growing now, obviously.

Off to do exercises. Groan! I really hate getting myself gathered to do them. Anyone have any ideas how to make them exciting, interesting, something I'm eager to do? Yes, I tell myself this is the way to regain full range of motion and strength. It sounds good, but it doesn't make me any more eager to do the exercises day after day.

Since you love all types of music... some calming music playing in the background while exercising could make it more pleasurable for you.

Love these purple flowers by the way. That takes my mind off the fact that a major snowstorm is headed in my direction...

Received my vape mail yesterday, disappointed again

I purchased some Smoktech 510 cartos for my tanks so that I could use them on my Vamo without an adaptor. They are not NEAR as good as Smokless Image cartos. I even tried slottng the holes bigger to get more juice into the cartos and still got a burned taste.

Thus far, Smokless Image Cartos have been the best for me. They last a long time if you keep them moist. I have had three going steady for three weeks in my tanks and they still taste fine.

Mixed up some more RY4 and Cinnamon Danish yesterday to keep me stocked up. Nothing more happening around here, too cold to work outside, some rain mixed with snow coming. Thats about all folks.

Enjoy reading about your adventures, catch you all later.

Wabbit.

If you want to get another horse, you should get the round pen first. That way, you can keep them separate but in sight of each other for a while to get used to each other before putting them in the same pen together. And you'll want lots of room because there might be some kicking and squealing at first till they work out who's the boss. So you want an area big enough that the weaker-willed one can move out of range if need be. You can introduce them over the fence before actually turning them out together. That might mitigate some of the fireworks.

Music is a good idea. I haven' tried that. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yep, one ting at a time. Plus, I only have so much money to spend/save up for wants a month

Good morning and thank you for the coffee Lizzie. That would be great if you could get a new little horsey friend for Wiseguy. We love our animals but need the companionship of other humans so I would think he also needs that same type of company for his well being. The goats have each other but he's by himself... just my opinion. Have you thought about a little donkey?

 

[SandySu]

Good morning. I'm giving you a photo today that may seem sort of odd, since these plants are weeds, and they don't really have flowers, but I've been fond of them since I was a kid. We used to curl the stem around itself and slide it up with a jerk to shoot the heads of the weed at each other.

I think Lizzie wanted a bigger pony that could pull the cart more easily. Another thought is to get another mini and drive them both. Would they be able to pull the cart better if there were 2 of them? I bet driving 2 horses at once is more challenging, though. Have you ever tried that, Lizzie?

Nope, don't want a donkey. They are a whole nother critter.

I don't think I am up for driving 2 since I have enough to think about driving one. I would like a somewhat bigger horse since Wiseguy is so tiny. Wiseguy is 31 1/2 inches. I heard a 34" horse is a lot more horse to handle but it wouldn't be a large horse by any means. Maybe 300 pounds compared to Wiseguy's 200 pounds. Michael might learn to drive but maybe not.

A bigger horse could pull two of us easily. Wiseguy can actually pull the two of us on a flat smooth surface.

Sorry they didn't work for you Wabbit! I know you like carto tanks but maybe this is something to consider as an alternative if you want to use a tank with 510 threading. The VapeOnly... PBusardo did a review and loved them.

I love them on ego's and spinners and I'm sure the Vamo would really pack a wallop!

I've not tried the smaller Smok Carts, but I can say I really like the mega version. Those hold a lot of liquid and last a good while. Coupled with the plunger to fill and clean, it's great!

I haven't mixed any juices up for awhile. I need to start tasting those that are steeping to see if I want to make those, or experiment with something new.

I'm using SmokTek Ressurctors 2 laser hole punched XL cartos and they have been working good for me.

I'm with you all the way with this too. This is the ONLY carto that I like, especially with the plunger for filling and cleaning. Thanks so much for recommending that plunger kit.

You have a special talent SandySu for making such ugly weeds look beautiful! Great picture.

Mornin Volties!

Sandy - picturing the goal (riding/easily lifting a saddle) helps keep my fire stoked on exercise. Boy am I sore! They worked on knots in the glutes an just below the occipital (sp?) bone. Burnin pain (not love) but now I can tip past the 1/2 cup point of the cup! !

Lizzie- www.oewequinecenter.com click "Library" - found their horse body language to be the most detailed. I found the parts on eyes helpful. Know how yah "know" something but can't quite put your finger on it...

Congrats on the year anniv TK! Funny how quick the time SUDDENLY flies!

Grandparenting - always heard its great to spoil 'em and send home! ;-) Going back to the 'Waltons' lifestyle can't help but be a benefit to youngsters emotional security! Hope y'all have supportive parenting styles! Foster kids were pretty vocal about "mom abscence".

Bummer Wabbitt! Sharing your pain - newly replaced coil - every so oft hot burning instead of tasty vapor....

Raynes- LOL! Bill is my favorite! I have both VHS & DVD of Himself!
Not sure which is absolute favorite part: uphill barefoot in snow; the lifestory for a dime; kill the kid or making breakfast!
You must like Jeff Dunham ... Achmed ...

Further thots from catch up escape me ... 3 hours on Bob (snow removal) were plenty yesterday. Before finishing need to be sure hubbys phone is fully charged - today just may need his help to get the bar up to get out of it. Rassa frassin crappy safety designs ....

I try to picture the goal, but it's been so long! I wanted and expected to be fully functional by now. Sigh! What is, is. All I can do is keep working toward it.

Are they doing trigger point on you? I really respond to this technique. Yes, it hurts when they press on a sore spot, but it's a good kind of hurt. And a moment before the muscle releases, I breathe in a different way, like the kind of breathing you do when you're sleeping, you know? Deeper, more relaxed breaths. This is not something I do consciously, it just happens, and a moment later, the muscle releases. I've copied what the PT does when I'm home, and it really helps, especially after the exercises, when the muscles are sore from moving them as far as they'll go. The new PT suggested rolling a ball over the muscles, and that really helps and is more gentle than the pressure I was using, though sometimes I think I need to use the pressure, too. I just go with what feels right. I can't reach my back to work on it, and I was just saying to the old PT, who I saw for the last time last Thursday, that I needed to invent some sort of device to do that. A couple of days later, I got a catalog in the mail that had such a device! I started reading reviews and discovered another that got slightly better reviews, though nearly everyone liked the first one, too. Here they are, in case you're interested. Amazon.com: Thera Cane Massager: Health & Personal Care and Amazon.com: Body Back Buddy: Health & Personal Care but shop around for better prices, since I just referred you to Amazon for the reviews. Another purchase I'm thinking of is the book, Amazon.com: The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief, Second Edition (9781572243750): Clair Davies, Amber Davies, David G. Simons: Books which seems to be the classic on this technique. Before I buy anything, I'm going to ask the new PT, who I'll see on Thursday, what he thinks, but I probably will at least get the book if not also the Body Back Buddy. Or maybe I'll see about what kind of firmer ball I can put under my back and roll around on it. The one I have, which came with my sling, is softer than a tennis ball, and it just squashes when I put it under my back. I even tried putting it between my back and the wall, thinking at least it wouldn't have my body weight squashing it, and it wasn't firm enough. The new PT suggested a tennis ball, which I don't have, and I was wondering if even that would be firm enough.

Any feedback or suggestions? What do you think of all this?

Much better kico as long as I stay off of them! Sometimes doing housework, I'll get down on one and BOY do I get a reminder... "Don't do that idiot..!!"

Thanks for asking.

I'll be glad when my grand kids are old enough to take fishing,hiking in the woods,and be able to be around the horses.I'm hoping when they are old enough to bale hay that they still love riding the tractors.
You all have a GREAT day
