    For all those equines in need.


  • Hello,

    Very flattered at the mentor idea. Did you mean to say dementor as in Harry Potter? Oh no, that was my ex......
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Ha, at least it's your exes! It's what I call Mr GG sometimes. He sucks all the joy out of you and leaves you full of despair and dread :cool:. And when I call him a dementor he thinks it's a compliment :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
