On the lighter side...

Well, I'm at the emergency room 😩. This day has kinda taken a turn for the worst. I got the chance to go horse back riding, something I haven't done in a while. Big mistake. I got on the horse and started out slowly, but I got cocky. So we started going a little faster and before I knew it, we were going as fast as the horse could go. And when I tried to stop the horse, I couldn't stop him, he must have gotten spooked or something. He was out of control, so I decided to try to jump off the horse, and instead, I fell off, but as I was falling, my foot got caught in the stirrup , so the horse was dragging me. And he wouldn't stop. Every time I screamed at him to stop, the horse went faster. Thank goodness the manager at Toys-R-Us came out and unplugged the machine. But he had the nerve to take the rest of my quarters so I wouldn't attempt to ride it again. How many of you actually read what I posted? If you did, copy and paste for someone else to get a laugh.

How do you know he isn't Amanda? I can just imagine him doing something like that! Especially if there was ice cream involved!!

Tim are you serious? I don't believe the Toys R Us bit so who saved you and have you broken anything?

Tell Trish she has my total sympathy! 😊. You are what we would call a nightmare! I was getting ready to say a prayer until I read about Toys R Us!! Still kind of wondering are you really in ER. Don't think they could cope with you though! πŸ˜‚

Marie (now aged 100) πŸ˜…. At least you know you are loved? X

Oh daddyt, that’s the funniest PSP story I’ve heard for ages. The trouble is, when I was reading it I was getting more and more worried with thoughts going round my head like, why did they let him go on a horse, he could have broken his neck, my husband did some dangerous things but nothing like that. Then I got to the end and laughed out loud to myself. I hope you didn’t end up in the emergency room. Keep safe and keep laughing.

Aren't we!!! Hi Anne....good to hear from you. I am doing well, a few grief attacks but not any where as often as in the past. I am HEALING....hurrah.

BTW, I finished Tim's book.....EXCELLENT. For me, It's was not a HOW-TO for caretakers, very insightful. Tim is a VERY good writer.

Blessings, Margarita

Of course we read ALL of your posts, Tim!

You had me going too till I got to the Toys'R'Us bit.

Hope you landed gently and did not break anything.

And keep pushing those boundaries! You are an inspiration to us all!

Now, where did I put my Jodhpurs...?

Big hug with icecream!

Giggle Giggle . . . Sure wish I knew how to copy and paste . . .

Someone needs to give you a cowboy hat and boots for Halloween and take a picture of you on that wild pony and post it on this site.

We would all love it!

Don't forget the rope... a whip might be nice (: xx

Motts in reply to daddyt

Question: is the rope to tie you onto the wild pony so you don't fall off . . .

or do you plan to lie down on the ground and pretend to be dragged behind the wild beast . . .

Thanks Tim we all need a bit of silly business once in awhile. Still Giggling - Granni B
