:lol: Ladies, please. It’s knickers in a twist.[/QUOTE]
I guess I’ve been using the Americanized version “Panties in a wad”.
That hits the nail on the head. Cultural sensitivities aside, there are differences in different languages, lingo, and meaning, upbringing, etc. This board no exception.
I’m a loser, I Googled it.
wag·gon (wgn)
n. & v. Chiefly British
Variant of wagon.
Noun 1. waggon - any of various kinds of wheeled vehicles drawn by an animal or a tractorwaggon - any of various kinds of wheeled vehicles drawn by an animal or a tractor
Knickers in a knot. Knickers in a twist. Panties in a wad. Bloomers in a bunch. G-string in a gnarl. Skivvies in a snarl. Undies getting uppity. I once asked someone if the velocity of my post relocated their underwear to an uncomfortable crevice on their person. Does it really matter how we say it? Boxers up the butt-crack. Not too hard to get the general idea

Now back to your regularly scheduled postings… and I will get back to writing this magazine article that is coming due…[/QUOTE]
Maybe you should save your irritable editorial comments for yourself in your professional setting and not so much this hodge podge of thousands of people all with their own writing styles and habits.
There’s a time and place for everything and this wasn’t the place for your crabby comments.
Ooooo. Talk about crabby! Geez, honey - take a pill and chill…and stay far away from the Dressage forum. This is COTH, after all.
[QUOTE=HillnDale;6579083]
Your friend is correct. In veterinary circles this very extended process of an injury manifesting as clinically significant pathology is referred to as “aging.”
Eventually a treeless saddle may lead to loss of muscle mass, stiff joints, infertility, loss of visual and audio acuity, slowed hoof growth and tissue replacement and a number of other issues. Sadly, “aging” is always fatal. All treatment is palliative and there is no cure. [/QUOTE]
OMG!!! I think somehow I have been wearing a treeless saddle!!!
Except for the hoof issues…
This thread reminds me why I like to ride alone.

I always thought it was " take a chill pill"?

I was just thinking the same thing. . .:yes::winkgrin:

So take a moment to look over your post, spell check, and then hit enter. Then you don’t have to plead careless and get your nickers all in a twist when your errors are pointed out. The correction was more for the education of the reading audience in case they weren’t aware of the origin of the old saying…and the correct word “dye”. The words die and dye are rather dramatically different in meaning.
And it’s Google, not google if you’re referring to the internet vs. this::eek: . Like Xerox vs. xerox.
Considering the number of posts you have vs. mine… enough said. :rolleyes:
Oh, meant to add: I’m too busy to spend time researching something that I have zero interest in researching on the net. But thanks for the thought that I would anyway…[/QUOTE]
Go The Distance, you win this week’s award for Nitty Picky Bitchy. This was not, and is not, a thread about colloquialisms and other such nonsense. The rest of us were chatting about rude riding partners. Now we’re going to chat about rude writing partners.
I’m off to bed. I hope your MAGAZINE ARTICLE WRITING ( Look, she gets paid to write, or well, umm, maybe she writes and it’s printed! somewhere, an ink cartridge is weakened by her prowess with a keyboard) went well.
Look y’all, she kin rite. Pey attension.
PS: a few commas were harmed in the forming of this blast. For that, I am not sorry. Their common as water (they’re :D).
OK, back to the main point of this thread. Did you ever have your “agree to disagree or ride alone” convo with your treeless-hating buddy? Am I the only one who want to know how that went?? Update please…
I, too, am reminded of why I like riding alone.
I’ve ridden with any number of people as described above. Once. Life is just too short. Feel no guilt about this divorce!

:lol::lol::lol: Love it! So true!
I love hacking out in company. I spend less time convincing Fella we can go out and the horse eating monsters won’t get him. Don’t get me wrong -he isn’t spooky, he just needs the company of other horses to relax. When I do insist he goes by himself but has this, “Okay, but don’t blame me when we get eaten” kind of attitude. Besides, it’s fun to ride with other people -we ride, we talk, we relax. It’s like therapy.

I don’t want to see her for a while. Maybe it was just the straw that broke the camel’s back but it really rubbed me the wrong way her coming to look for me in the very area I told her I was going to pee, and with a man in tow. I do like to tell myself she wasn’t doing it with any bad intent so much as not thinking. I don’t care, though. It’s done.[/QUOTE]
Ermahgerd, I missed that part in your earlier post!:eek: I think you’re probably right, though - she sounds like one of those people so caught up in her own agenda that she just doesn’t pay much attention to other people’s. Either way, now would probably be a good time to take a break from her.
Have you tried ear plugs for your horse? Maybe she’s better when she rides with Chatty Cathy because she can’t hear things that go bump in the woods over all the yapping.
A friend at my last training barn let me borrow hers - the same as the linked ones - and they do seem to help.
I ran into a gal I used to ride with…she remarked that she missed seeing me, riding, etc…and I thought- swallowed- and just halfway nodded/smiled. I do not feel the same way, at all. It was a divorce, LOL, and I’m glad it’s behind me. Riding with her was just an energy and life-suck: she took what she needed and offered nothing in return. I was an ear and a source and nothing at the end of the day for me- she had no ear to lend, no shoulder for support, just suck suck suck on my soul- well, C Ya.
