That end would be easier to deal with. In a previous existence I was a dab hand at AI, and much to peoples surprise that is the orifice the arm disappears into.

(Is that too much information?)

Hubby use to do that when he worked with cattle. and, not TMI for a old farm girl like me.

Came in safe and sound late yesterday. Drama on plane before we left the ground = passenger being escorted off, she was sitting right in front of us. Will tell all later but her "belligerent behavior began in WA state before we got on the plane.

As much as I love being in here with you all, weather and company and...and...and... is just too nice for me to even think about catching up during the day. Maybe tonight...or maybe not. *shrugs*

Heading back outside to watch for any vessel from the USCG.

Good to know you arrived in one piece! Can't wait to hear about this drama woman.

Hey, I just got a request via my new website (that really hasn't been activated yet...how weird) for some of those coast guard shots I did last year. From the pilots wife.

Very kewl!

Afternoon all...I'm happy to report that the senior rep thing worked out very well. Her mom was quite gracious and everything worked out quite well. I wish it could have been handled differently all around, but that's as much my fault as anything.

Glad everything worked out.

Here is something to ponder:

Us Americans fuss about paying $2.89 per gallon of regular gas. But we are willing to pay $1.89 for a 16.9 fl oz of water. Now does that really make any sense?

I don't agree on the price. But, it does make sense to buy bottled water if your own water tastes horrid! The water in this RV park is soooo horribly yucky tasting you just can't drink it.

Seriously, do we need to talk about this? Unless you have a photo of this I don't think it's photography related. lol

Obviously you aren't a farm boy.

The straw and the applicator go up the correct one your hand goes up the other one so you can feel that the tip of the straw is in the right place before you press the plunger.

Many people seeing it for the first time find it strange,

Gotcha! Makes sense.

Now, let's change the subject.

Hey Paula, how's the lens sale going?

Dasani is purified water, made by coca-cola, I love fiji water but it is pricey. We just got a water dispenser here at work, I'm in heaven!

We use Kirkland, Costco's brand.

Oh it's not bad depending how you do it. Our dentist heavily sedates, puts a big metal thing in their mouth to hold it open, and goes at it with a specialized drill with a grinder on the end. Much faster that hand filing and he is good with it. The down side of the job is the side job that goes with it. During sedation horses will usually drop their penis from the sheath and let it hang. Dentists often times offer sheath cleaning as this is the perfect opportunity to do it. To the non horse people, horses do best to have their teeth occasionally "floated" This keeps nice even griding surfaces for efficient eating. Geldings also need a good sheath cleaning occasionally because their junk starts to get crusty, look really scary, and can get infected. In a natural environment it gets cleaned occasionally during mating. Now is that TMI?

When I was in grade school, one of our bulls got the crusty junk infection. I watched the vet work on him, and prayed fiercely that I would never get what the bull got.

HAHA! Reminds me of a boyfriend I had in highschool. He was originally from Seattle and had moved to our small community to live with grandparents and go to school. One spring we were walking through our local park, which had a pond with ducks. The male ducks were doing their thing and fighting over and on top of a girl duck. My boyfriend FREAKED out that they were killing another duck. We also had milk cows at that time and had fresh milk. Boyfriend wouldn't drink our milk as it "came from a cow"
