Checking in is rough when it is so hard to get to the end of the thread.
I'm going to start volunteering at a horse therapy program. I went to orientation today and helped my first client. They have about 15 horses. The volunteers groom and saddle the horse and then walk them around to warm them up. When the appointment starts, the instructor helps the client to mount up, one volunteer walks on one side of the horse while another leads the horse around the ring. The instructor walks on the opposite side and provides the direction. Then a volunteer unsaddles and grooms the horse before returning him/her to her stall.
I'm pretty excited. K-Bug started there a month ago because she needs volunteer hours for her school program. But she likes it and wants to stay after she meets her school goal.
I'm resisting calling roll every morning when I log on.
Ginger's comment and Beverly's response made me wish for a radio button in my message center to click for 'I'm okay, more later." One for "I'm elsewhere and okay" and one for 'Send help."
1. I wasn't going to post again, but the muse that is Allyson's lovely hair -- well, it enchanted me and made me. Damn your pretty hair, AB.
2. Is a person with a different name who is now in Europe but was from Maine -- was that person formerly known as Cyber Vixen?
3. Maria.
Topic!Cindy, yes, that's the same person. She's married with a kid now!
Thank you, both, I sorta remember when she was expecting, but then I had a hard time matching name to name.
Cindy, #2 sounds familiar to me. I remember there being another Maine-ista and Cyber Vixen rings a bell. Or I could be totally wrong.

Suzi, this sounds wonderful. Horses, plus helping people!
Yesterday was ALL THE LABS day, so I just managed to catch up in here and utilize the PayPal info.
Allyson's hair? Mere words cannot describe it.
Just say the word if more is needed from those of us who can't help in meatspace.
Yeah, I'm feeling quiet on account of...well,apparently how I cope. I haven't called my parents yet because...well, a lot of reasons. Like I need to hold it to myself as I accustom myself to it. More in that in a minute.
Sounds like the volunteering might be a good and timely thing, Suzi.
So one of my sensible aunts (as opposed to the ones who get all interfering) saw one of my fb posts and asked my mom about it. Who I haven't told yet because not doing in email and I'll talk to them Sunday and I'm not ready before then. Im just not. But somehow, she's not logging into fb (?) so she can't figure it out (or read the explanation.) IDEK. Her SIL commented, maybe she mentioned it. But mom emails me with Sue's question-my parents aren't on fb- so I have to reply to Sue with an explanation and my mom with " I'll talk to you sunday." And I emailed Sue earlier this month! Why didn't she just ask (or call!) me? Ahrg.
But it's interesting, I have to tell this to my parents and I've put it off, and that's gonna take another chunk that tellng my friends didn't. Part of it is that their sympathy.. They'll hurt because I hurt and that makes it bigger.I'm not making sense.
I ate strawberries for dinner.
