Like many little girls, I loved horses. I read horse books, watched horse movies and dreamed wild horse dreams. My favorites were the Black Stallion and Black Beauty, tales of kindness and courage, of heartbreak, defeat and triumph. I’ll never forget when my neighbor, Renee Croog, got big Red. Red was a big gentle quarter horse gelding that turned the head of
Some of you might be surprised. Some of you might be shocked If people are suprised or shocked, it is only because they are not honest about themselves and they do not have relationships with people who are honest with them. Thanks, your honesty makes me respect you more. Tractorman
I read you, dharma. Cant say I'm on enough to read all your blogs, but I generally find them of interest when I read. Tractorman (I feel a little bit like stalker after being called a "lurker")
You don't take one like that to the field because it's waaaay to easy to mess it up really bad. What if you have money to burn? Probably all his guns are too pricey to take in the field.
I'm NOT saying it's right, but how is what Bush said is any worse than whats coming from the democrats? It's not--in fact it's not as bad, but I expect more honorable behavior out of President Bush--I guess that's what Trinite just said. Tractorman
Tractorman, GW is not the one who said it Cheney did. I heard him make a comment such as "He can run, but he can't hide.......even in camaflouge". Given that it was the day of, or the day after Kerry's hunting trip, it appeared to make little sense except in the context of that excursion. Even if he w
I am really sick of this campaigning crap. Even though my vote is solidly in the Bush camp, I am displeased that he stoops to these sideways jabs, such as regarding Kerry's foray into hunting yesterday. It seems so childish, and despite the fact that it works, I think he should remain above it, it so, so...non-presidential. Tractorman
Thanks T-man. It would have taken me days to figure that out without your direction. Tractorman
Bush and Cheney. Tractorman
I have recently change ISPs and need to change my e-mail on my account info at JU, however, the line that has my e-mail address is the only one that can't be changed, am I missing something? Thanks Tractorman
We'll--I think he won because he landed more blows and blocked more shots, IMO. From a very biased viewers perspective, I watched and felt a little embarassed that he didn't respond with better answers. I happen to know that he HAS better answers, but for whatever reason, they didn't come out. I thought he would have just knocked Kerry out with the facts of what He, Bush has done, and what Kerry has done (mostly flip flopped). I was
Kerry clearly won the first debate. One down, two to go. If he wins all three, he is certainly the better choice for president. Being president has at it’s core a need to communicate well and think on your feet-–or does it? As a psychologist, I am pained to realize how much this debate exercise plays into the decisions of voters, when it bears little rese

Thanks Trinite, like I said, I suppose I will still poke my head in from time to time, and may even contribute if I need a place to vent a thought or feeling. It's just not the same as it used to be--the honeymoon is over I suppose. It may be that I will write more once the snow flies. Right now there is so much to do outside, I don't want to be in and writing anymore than I need to. Tractorman
Paul: You're awesome. I think out of all the comments, yours was my favorite. I missed hearing from you...what happened to your articles? Did you read my last article? That really tells the story. I just poke my head in now and then to see who's still kickin! I'm glad you started contributing again, e
You're a sweetie, Trinitie, I've missed reading you. I have to admit that I did cry when i read you saying you hate yourself. I don't have any wise words for you, just a hearfelt appreciation for who you are. Tractorman
I miss Dan's presence here very much. Please send him my best. Thank you so much for mentioning me. And I can safely say, we'll meet some day! I will pass it on to him. He is on a youth missions trip right now in Brooklyn, I expect having a grand time. See you later <img src="../images/smiles
It occurs to me that checking the responses appears to invalidate my blog. I guess it just goes to show how self centered I can get--here I am all anxious to see if anybody cares that I'm leaving. Somewhat pathetic, but I suppose no different than most. T-man
Thanks Shades, I appreciate your compliment. Tractorman
in all your time here, we never really had a direct dialogue... That may be true, but I came to appreciate people by hearing what they had to say, and the spirit with which they said it. I don't need to agree with people to enjoy being around them, but there are certain attitudes that make it more dif
I think it is time to formally admit that I am no longer a Joeuser. This is a sad occasion. I enjoyed immensely the time I spent at JU, but I havn't visited for several weeks now, and when I thought about checking in tonight, realized that I’d rather be doing other things. When the realization hit me that it could be a good long time before I visited, and certainly
i guess its fairly safe to conclude that none of the three of us have anything resembling a life? I wouldnt exactly say that, but I would say at times I am amused by simple things. Tractorman
Sorry to hear about you shitty ass day, Dharma. If I had something really wise or funny to cheer you up, I'd say it now. Tractorman (I suppose it would have been worse if the tornado hit you! :sniff!
I read this a few weeks ago, but still chuckle at times when I think of it, so I thought I'd share it. Tractorman Subject: In Remembrance... With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person which almost went unnoticed last week. Larry
I should have used cluster. I completely agree with what you're saying when you use the word cluster. Tractorman
