  • Figuring out something to send you now Maria

    Here's my boy that I'm hoping to share.

    I'm really excited for him, but keep getting distracted by GMT projects to save up for his planned boost.... But he is old enough to breed this year so as soon as I get his boost I'm going to have some foals of a gene I haven't played with yet.

    I'm 15552, and I can take straws and eggs

  • would I send you something as well? :)
  • Nope, think we're good. Whoever comes after this can get me something though

    Sent you an egg to my snowflake mare.
    Breeder of any and all crazy colored drafts and RH horses.
  • I think the way the other one worked was to send the person after you a gift so that the last person to post doesn't get left out (and the starter of the post gives to the first commenter) so if you want to switch to that you can since you already gave something to Maria, or if not it can keep going the way it's going. I'm willing to send something to the person after me and to both of you to set this on track that way if you want :)
    Otherwise, if you want to keep going the way it's going, let me know. Either way, I'll send to you.

    I can accept eggs and straws. Sending ZefSoFresStables their gift now.
  • Here’s my cry of the season. She’s one of the first 3gen filly’s I’ve bred. I saw her and got super excited since she’s hom DP, and she passed BA so I was thrilled. Then her PT score was inconsistent, and she papered yellow. I don’t allow inconsistent mare’s into my breeding program. I still haven’t gotten up the nerve to spay her yet.

  • :x I guess I’ll just talk about random things on my mind rn:

    the fact that I’ve been sick lately being pregnant so I’ve been pretty distant from the game. I honestly hate how pregnancy makes me feel. I’ve already had one baby before and it was essentially the same stuff I’m going through now. I never expected to dislike being pregnant so much because for so long that’s all I wanted in life. I guess it’s just got me down. I’m 20 weeks pregnant and so far every single one of those weeks has been a challenge to get through without a hospital visit. Sometimes I even fail at that.... (I have Hyperemesis Gravidarum)

    Anyways, I do have a brag but it’s not about the game. My husband finally let me look at everything at Hobby Lobby — he didn’t rush me! Lol! The entire time we have been married, that’s never happened. So that really lifted my spirits.

    :)

    Oh and my ID is 34737 and I can except straws & eggs
  • Thank you @Burbon I love the straws!
    Thanked by 1Bourbon
  • OOoh I'm so glad to see you're back Patterson! Sad to hear about the tough pregnancy. Sending good thoughts your way! And some straws :)

    My brag: I've finally got my herd going in the direction I want. All my foundation mares are red (except for my rank specials). I'm starting to get a better idea of what I love (het nexus on grullos or black based coats?! :x) and with the auction I just did, I've got plenty of barn space and extra hb lying around to help bolster my herd. Can't wait for next breeding season! I'll actually use my pastures like I should this time :))

    ID 48215 and I can accept straws and eggs :)
  • Thank you Cadie! What keeps me going is the fact that I can’t be pregnant forever... or ever again after these two! And your straws certainly made me smile! And my day got so much better just now ;)
  • I think I need to go again.... this time a cry. We are having a mock, and just for fun presidential debate. I just had an idea, wasn't set on it, but it was debated, which was fine, that's the whole point. Except I couldn't understand what the other person was trying to tell me. They wouldn't stop insulting me long enough to listen to what I was actually saying and not what they thought I was saying.... Then finally ended on her yelling at me that we would all die if I ever became president..... I know that I'm not a popular person at school. I get along with adults more than other people my age. And usually it doesn't bother me that I'm not their favorite person. But it actually got me pretty upset. And I'm not that person that gets overly worked up over someone's opinion.....

    Finding a gift for Cadie now...
    Breeder of any and all crazy colored drafts and RH horses.
  • Sent you one gift in the swap Cadie. And feel free to pick out a couple from "HUSG" too. Going to look for other things to give you, but I don't breed warmbloods so I was having a hard time finding one for your requests!

    I might be able to help you with $ for barns tomorrow though after show bonus comes through.

  • My brag and cry! I finally decided I want to breed hom SNF, KP, AND Nexus. I’ve made it to my 2g’s and I’m really happy with my results so far. I have serveral possible het snf and kp mares and Nexus studs. I’m super excited to see how my nexus pairings do! The cry, I can’t seem to find and even 2g SNF studs. I found one, but none of his foals have been hom. I’m still workin on it! Not to mention I was breeding level even by paper until my basic ran out. He’s the pretty guy!

  • RocknS, I'm not sure if you sent horsey2 a gift so I sent you both something. :)

    And HunterUnderSaddleGirl, that's horrible! I'm sure your idea wasn't terrible, but the person who was supposed to debate it just had layers of associations with it. Remember, if you aren't quite presidential as a kid, you still have lots of time. :) Even if you aren't planning on becoming President one day, I'm sure it stung for other reasons. You can lead very well as a young person, but leading a country is something only the best can do. It takes half a lifetime of honing expert skills to get there, so if your opponent expects that of you, for one thing, sod them, and for another, maybe hey actually think you're more mature than they are? Maybe. What's more likely is that they're remembering everyone else (the exciting ones) who's ever had an opinion like the one you gave and the reactions (the exciting ones) of everyone who they admire or just the sheer volume of the same kind of reaction and then, thinking of both extremes, being horrified...whatever the case, politics are a miry bog of emotions right now. People start with assumptions and are immediately defensive. Everything rests on the shoulders of the smallest matters and everything is a reflection of a person's character. Everything is so blown out of proportion and opinions are part of identities now.
    I can't say it would be a good idea to bring up your idea here, because as great a community as it is, it's just not the place, particularly on a gifting thread. I think all of us would like to encourage you to put yourself forward and talk about things with others, even if you feel they might not be received well, because it is a really important part of life and even education.
    People talk about it being a problem on Both Sides, or that saying that is a problem in itself, but it's not even that simple. Everyone has their own side, and people's opinions are a lot more complicated than we think--even if we have to consolidate things into just a checklist of beliefs, one way or the other on issues, the reality is that they won't all be on the same side of the ballot unless our communities think there's something wrong with that. Community has a lot more influence on our beliefs than we think, too...I just heard in a Tedtalk? I think? that some confidence in an opinion is based on how many people have agreed with us recently. There was a study where scientists made up a word, put together random pictures, and then asked participants if the subject of the picture was like the made up word at all, but whether the word matched the picture was completely random. The participants grew more confident in their opinions when they apparently got it right a few times in a row, and would be convinced they knew what the made up word meant after about 6 times. This leaves out whatever connotations might come with deciding whether you should think one thing is like the made up word or not, since political stances are so often connected to moral views, but for the sake of science it's simplified to the one thing. So the people you discuss things with make your mind up an awful lot of the time, too. Seeing that the people who hold those opinions aren't monsters is something else, but I think the person you debated didn't notice.
    What a ramble. I'll stop there on the political side of things...
    I'm sure you won't bring down civilization in any leadership you might take on. :) I went to therapy for a month or so some years ago, and one of the big things I took away from it was that you can't judge yourself by the way present you would handle future problems. You're not thinking about all the growing you can do from now to then and all it does is make you feel like a failure when you're nowhere near trying yet.
    That's maybe not the point of your cry? I just--

    I guess I'll count that as my Cry, since it's taking up so much space. :P See, this is what happens when I get going late at night...whatever, I hope this helps, goodnight. :P

  • @rocknSStables put a reject pony up for 187,500 hb (1/2 a basic upgrade) and I'll buy them. I don't have enough for all 30 IVs but I'll get you half way there!

    As well, I have a 2g SNF stud that has 1 live breed left. I've taken him down off public breeding and I'll send you a PM - you can have his last live cover of the season and as many as you want for next season if that'll do? And when you get basic again, you can have as many straws as you want from him :)

    I would like a cry - I'm a nurse in Canada. This year we legislated Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in certain circumstances. I'm 100% for this and I think it's a great idea. However, this week I had my first MAID patient. I took care of her the night before her set day to die and it was... well it was really heavy. I hadn't thought about the burden it would be on me to take care of someone in their last hours. She had known about this day for the last 10 days or so, and was 100% prepared and at peace and had no regrets, but I just felt like I should have offered her so much more. I did offer to order her a steak or anything and she declined. It was just... well it was tough to come back in again the next day knowing she had chosen to die and wasn't going to be there. It was tough to fall asleep knowing her assigned time (1 in the afternoon). I have taken care of palliative patients and had patients pass away on me before, but this was so very, very different. She was the most courageous person I've ever met and I'm so glad I got to share in her experience but it was also very tough.

    (edit: I see I posted after RoseFlute so I'm also going to send her something!)
  • @cadieness i just put up something for you in my chat... and sent a couple straws...
    I love this idea!

  • I will play today!

    Today has been exceptionally difficult, but I really want to remain positive despite everything. So I figured I’d force myself to post a brag.

    First Brag is game related:

    This dude:

    Lance Corporal Patterson


    I bought him from HiddenCreek and I love him! He’s my favorite stud I own so far so I named him after my husband.


    Brag outside of game: My husband also brought me home some sushi :) Sadly this weekend my husband is working (he’s an officer) so he’s gone very often. In the free time he does have though, he spends it with his family and doing little things that make us happy. So I can’t help but brag about him.

    Edit: Angelacres I will send you a little gift as soon as I can! I’m about to nap since the little one finally went to sleep but when I wake up, I have lots of goodies for you <3

    My life boast is that i’ve Fallen in love with someone, and it’s turns out he loves me back. The situation is complicated, but I’m floating with happiness <3
    Still fumbling around this awesome game :)
    I want to make a line of Grullo Splash Appaloosa Rabicano, any help would be appreciated :)
