Well said Lauralee! I've noticed a few of the same things too. Irronically they come to the forum with one story and magically the salesboard shows another(EDITED TO ADD, Not ALL people... just a very few that seem to repeat the pattern over).
Live and learn, I say.....this farm boy has sit back and learned alot lately by just reading.
I'm getting real good at weeding out the genuine true blue decent people in life from the few who always have that fishy feeling or is that stink on a monkey my gut says bad bad news feeling.
Carolyn, I was just thinking about you today even before I read this post. Ya know why? I saw a black nightshade plant growing along the barn. It is because of you.....that I, a farmer who has known the weed to be a pest in the fields for years but you taught us on the forum how deadly poisonous they are to horses when ingested. I am glad you were here to share your experience, how else would we learn?We all are a piece of knowledge in the grand scheme of a puzzle, thanks to those like you who are willing to share. You opened your heart in a terribly stressful time and educated many with your findings.....be it medical....physical...the whole thing. That is something you can't buy in a text book form. I thank you for that and so much more.
As for the junk anyone has put you through....in email or otherwise. Blow it off, not worth it......there are some people in this world I am convinced that could make God or even Satan cry. They just are mean spirited! Don't let them run you off.......we all take breaks and I certainly understand.....but,,,,if you enjoy the forum and most of the people......don't let a few take it away from you.
