Guest guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 , They have their own stockings too. They keep warm with specially made horse blankets. My design company {susanmeccadesigns.com} embellishes them,monograms,adds sparkle....I make bridle charms,halter charms {Doerte and Oliver have St. Francis charms with hearts and crystal} Purses for the mommies, saddle pads, custom brushes,organic sugar cubes, saddle covers in designer fabrics...... Check out my web site. I have a lot more things on the way. Including a new web site. You cannot believe how spoiled my babies are. However they have perfect manners. As a trainer my horses have to be gentle and well mannered but they are very doted on. I do so love them. I will share pics of them with their Christmas doors.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 , Your designs are beautiful. I grew up with horses on a small farm in Massachusetts. I've missed them for years, but now I feel too old to take it up again. Anyhow, I wish I had had such beautiful accessories when I was riding. You have lucky babies for sure. I know how easy it is to fall in love with a horse. Pam H Re: Re: unhomogenized milkdominie@groups .comDate: Thursday, December 11, 2008, 10:16 PM I bought some unhomogenized organic milk.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Sue I couldn't agree more with Staci, and thank you Staci for finding the words for what I was thinking and feel for you . I stopped spending Christmases with my family over 10 years ago and am healthier for it. You have to remember those of us who are sick are the nurturing, loving, gungho kind of people, which is why we're sick. I know how you feel though when I first spoke up to my family and didn't give in I thought I was going to have a heart attack. It seemed like the scariest thing I would ever do at the time, but of course, found our later, it was not. I couldn't breathe, heart pounding, sweating, stuttering, dry mouth, and on it went. I am the baby of 5 girls and than my brother is younger than me, but he was the GOD of the family and let me tell you, nobody but nobody said From: Stacie Buckle <sbuckle1@...>Subject: Re: warm horsesdominie Date: Monday, December 15, 2008, 10:48 AM Sue, truly you are underappreciated. You did so much for Christmas and they complained you were sick and ruined Christmas. I would have been so mad that I would have cancelled Christmas with them this year and told them to fend for themselves. I'm spiteful that way though. I used to be really caring and always worried about making life great and wonderful for everyone around me and now I have learned that they don't care about my life so I'm not worried about theirs. It was my survival kicking in that made me turn on them. I actually skipped Christmas a couple of years back because they were acting so hateful towards me. They had no sympathy that I was sick with 104 temperature. I stayed home and they got the point. All of a sudden everyone was a lot nicer to me. It wasn't just all of that. I literally had to stop being so nice and pretend to be selfish whenever they were around me. It is paying off. I am getting a lot more respect. I suppose I wouldn't have been able to do it if my father was still alive, because I am Daddy's little girl. I would never have purposely tried to be that way in front of him and sacrifice his image of me. He is not though, so I have the advantage. I feel bad for your sister in law, but please take my advice when I say that if she does not learn to be stronger on her own without the coddling then she may not be able to function later on. She could always depend on you. Maybe that is why the whole family expects you to do so much regardless of your condition. You over protective and over care, and constantly give without regard to your own health. They do not consider the sacrifices you make, they just expect you to keep giving. I had learned the hard way to just stop. I had been giving 210% for years and suffering greatly for it, and one day I couldn't do it and everyone was so mean to me over it. They judged and ridiculed me when they never bothered to lift a finger to help or even offer their help. All they ever offered was their negative opinions. I couldn't take it anymore. So, I skipped Christmas and left them to fend for themselves. They learned to appreciate me and all that I do. I hope this helps you become a little less stressed this holiday season. We all do too much because we want life to be great and wonderful for everyone else, while we end up miserable for the sacrifices we make for others. I know we want to make our time and effort cherishable and meroable considering we have very few great moments left, but it is about quality not quantity. Without quality of health we diminish our quantity of holidays with family. Stacie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 , I'm sorry for some reason it was sent before I was done. Nobody said NO to my family and when I did, it was as if I commited a crime to them. I'm so much better for it today, but do still miss it sometimes when I really think about it. Stay well and if they act up this year, please for your sake, just say NO!
