    So, I think dh is going to buy a very ugly horse tomorrow.

    What sort?
    How big?
    How old?
    What has it done?
    What is he going to do?
    Has it been vetted?

    We will need a picture.

    My son is looking for a homeopathic job. One where he gets a full salary but works one day a year.

    Surely for a proper homeopathic job you'd get the full salary and only have to work one day per million years.
    Lydia....no rush to respond, but did you get my email? . Not sure if hotmail is working at all you see.

    Yes, I got it. Sorry -I should have acknowledged it straight away. I'll talk to the relevant people and get back to you. :)

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    I just remembered there are some pearl lovers in the nice people...I wonder if they can offer guidance.

    These http://www.vandashop.com/Gold-Pearl-Stud-Earrings-RF10F/dp/B00BPX6PWI?field_availability=-1&field_browse=1765426031&field_product_site_launch_date_utc=-1y&id=Gold+Pearl+Stud+Earrings+RF10F&ie=UTF8&refinementHistory=subjectbin%2Cgeneric_text_9-bin%2Cgeneric_text_1-bin%2Cprice&searchNodeID=1765426031&searchPage=1&searchRank=salesrank&searchSize=12 reminded me I am looking for some new pearl earrings, a very slight drop, rather than studs, and not too small a pearl. For those sort of things in the day time that whether in a restorwrong or at home ;) one needs earrings for. I generally only wear my wedding ring these days, and earrings, maybe a bracelet and require something lady like. I am not in love with my pearl studs. They are a bit....boring. A slight drop might just perk em up and add a bit of movement.

    My wedding ring is not traditional and something that compliments the style would be good. Think looks like it was an Etruscan ring buried and found in the garden under someone's bonfire. Or very. Very modern...it sort of falls into both camps.

    Hi Pastures, call Denplan and speak to them about your predicament tomorrow. It's good news that you have it, you should be able to transfer to another dentist. DH and I also have Denplan, they are pretty good with queries.
    Oooh transfer. I'll try that. Cheers.

    Easily made.... once you've got the bits, tools and right light.

    I've got: the tools, the right light if I sit in the garden :) With everything lined up and ready to go .... depending if the top parts were hand forged (20 minutes), or not (5 minutes).

    Always annoying they don't [1] show you the back [2] tell you what sort of pearl it is.

    How big? Just shy of sixteen hands...dh is not tall.
    How old? 4
    What has it done? Absolutely nothing
    What is he going to do? Hmm, that depends on it and him. Theoretically dressage (clinics rather than competition, we're classic not modern) he also fancies medieval reenactment a and jousting and mounted archery. ATM, getting it to accept a brush and hopefully a bath will be an accomplishment.
    Has it been vetted? No, and can only two stage.

    We will need a picture.

    No chance.....I'll get laughed outa town. u.g.L.Y. Upside down neck and a pigeon breast. Dishes on one foot and is slightly pigeon toed on the same, I think I can fix to some degree with some physio and correct work, but that neck is always going to be UGLY. I hate an ugly neck.

    Nono, no sorry. Just would have resent if it had not arrived. Btw, the kiwi is also on a Facebook page for the groomer...if I can find it I'll send it...looks like a different dog back then to the one I sent pics of.

    Really? You are very clever! I love my ring, but I don't really like the same jewellers earrings.

    I used to show:D. Beauty is in a correctly conditions and conformed animal that can work functionally to its optimum with least chance of injury through conformational defect. And being plump helps of you are a horse.

    This is.....skinny and not brilliantly put together. I hate bad necks, but you don't sit on the neck....and it's not mine. If I thought it would cost a fortune in the way it's put together I would stamp. It's a very, very nice person of a horse though.

    As it is only 4 it is a baby so be nice or it will get a complex.

    What breed is it or colouring and why does he want something that needs physically fixing?
