All is well! Spent a week in Tampa with her and returned here over the weekend. Had a great time grilling out and eating by the waterside under the skies. Couldn't be better!!

Horses get me every time Oh, not that anyone probably cares, but my girls weathered Ida okay. No injuries, just shaken up and pissed off they weren't allowed in the barn.

Oh, I care! I’m glad yours are ok! I grew up on a 1,500 acre ranch and trained Peruvian Paso horses for a long time. Developing a relationship with a horse is like developing a relationship with a person.

Oh wow, very nice! Where is that? It’s beautiful there! I have some more pictures on my cell phone. I’ll have to message them to you when I have time.

Yeah, he’s a palomino Peruvian Paso. His mom was a creamola. I think I have a picture of her, I’ll have to send you.

No worries. Ocean Prime, Eddie V's and a great Italian place in the old part of Tampa as well as Maggianno's for a late-night snack.

Edit: Grilled out at her place on the water, as well.

I suppose this is relative. I'd much rather have a broken heart, that's all mental, but then again, not everyone is mentally strong enough to pull themselves out of a bad situation.

Time heals MOST things.....broken bones, broken hearts, broken trust, etc.

I'm kind of a preventative maintenance type guy. Protect your heart and it doesn't get broken. One of my favorite quotes "A frozen heart never bleeds." As with everything, this logic is flawed too. In order for one to love, they must themselves be loved. F*ck it, take some hydrocodone and take the damn plunge anyway.

Yessss......I like the way you think.

This is one of the reasons I don't have horses - I've never missed one, or lost one.

When Blackie knocked me out I had my head split open, lost all memory of the accident, had stitches in my head, and was in agonizing pain during the recovery along with a fractured arm.

I’d much rather have another physical horse accident than lose another horse. You get drugs for physical pain. I still think of Ferrasol every day. Knowing I’m never going to see her again messes with your mind, your inner peace.

I get it, I have kids and have had pets. You can get drugs for a broken heart too - Abilify, Wellbutrin, prozac, etc. I've also owned horses. I don't have to involve my insurance provider over a broken heart though.

You are justified in your feelings though. Not trying to say that you aren't. Just discussing our d'rather's.

My reasons are strictly financial. Horse's are damn expensive to buy, own and maintain. I simplified my life years ago. I'm actually laughing to myself as I type this. I haven't simplified shit. I only simplified my stessors.

Everyone thinks that. They really aren’t expensive.

Uh bullshit. Land, boarding, feed, medical expenses, tack, not to mention the cost of buying one. These aren't exactly gold fish we're talking about.

Tack : $1,000 (one time purchase)
Feed: $100 -150 a month including supplements and wormer
Hay: $100 a month
Feet: $60 every 8 weeks
Shots: $50 annually
Teeth: $100 annually
Board: Free to $1,000 a month depending on location

Happiness = priceless!!!!!!

Now, that isn’t so bad, is it? It’s completely doable.

I'd rather spend that amount on a car. Still happines. PotAto....potato....
