At what point does it become blatant advertising?

Despite the usual denials, I strongly suspect that Hempfling is the OP here.

Why not label yourself a life coach or, dare I say it, philosopher? What qualifications do you actually need?

“I am a philosopher, because I say I am. I minister to the rich and soulless. Oh, and I encourage stallions to rear.”

My conservative estimate is that about fifty percent of people who list their jobs as “Life Coach” or any number of equivalents are, in fact, chronically unemployed. We can thank Owen Wilson’s character in “You, Me, And Dupree” for the concept.

I’ve watched FB friends try to morph into the crowded “personal coaching space.” It’s adjacent to very questionable cultish groups, to competitive body building, to MLMs, and to the toxic convergence of all three when competitive body builders get involved in MLM “nutrition” sales.

I feel like COTH readers and horse people in general are the least likely audience for this bumped because we know how you need consistent hard work to get anywhere, and empty cheer leading gets you nowhere.

Hempfling on all evidence is absolutely pretty much the last person I’d go to for life advice.

Here are two clips I would like to direct your attention to. The first clip features Hempfling working with a Lipizzaner stallion in an unfenced area, demonstrating their interaction and connection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq06bmJLt-U&t=25s . In the second clip, Hempfling offers explanations about the ongoing interaction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMUOY0I0yt0&t=6s

After watching these all I can say is that I can’t stomach any more of his brand of horse-human interaction. Someone is going to play and get hurt badly.

There’s a Carolyn Resnick “liberty” trainer west of me. She got a hoof to her HEAD by her own horse. You should have seen the hospital pics on the mandatory GFM page.

For WIW, which I admit isn’t much, I can do everything with my mare that CR promotes on her site, only I do not need a stick. Just watched a lot of good cowboys in my past.

Oh wow, that’s a throwback to a different part of my life. I went to the premiere of that movie, at the Arclight. I sat behind Matthew Perry, who actually was quite friendly, despite whatever demons he was dealing with at the time. In fact, we bumped our popcorn boxes together.

And speaking of popcorn… carry on.

We sat behind the Village People when we saw Alien.

Don’t want to consult those bloody plebs…

Excellent. I hope Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk have his number.

I would consider your silence now as a knockout in round number 10. You have been an entertaining opponent in a fight that was never intended from my side. Nevertheless, I have chosen to participate and it appears that I have prevailed.

I would like to celebrate it with this picture that generated controversy even on Klaus’ Facebook page:

And here is a quotation of Klaus’ response to certain comments that expressed reservations about the aforementioned picture: “The sign of modesty in Chinese culture is depicted by an underground mountain. Humility is always associated with true greatness, not with showcasing one’s superiority or inner weakness. The mountain remains a mountain, even if it’s hidden. However, being modest does not imply dishonesty, but rather the opposite. It’s crucial to avoid falling into the trap of hypocrisy, manipulation, or seeking praise. I am who I am, and I clearly identify with it. In my consultations, I strive to impart this quality to my clients, who benefit greatly from it.

On this Facebook page, I speak for myself. I don’t go around talking about myself to my neighbors, but this page requires my genuine input. The statement in the picture may not be entirely correct, but it represents my views. I believe that people expect honesty and authenticity, especially on a platform like this. If someone like me fails to present their true selves, flaws, or qualities, what can be expected from the world?”

In order to further celebrate, add some music to this victory and showcase the quality and professionalism that Klaus embodies, I would like to share a clip of Klaus performing a cover of “Hotel California.” It is important to note that he does not consider himself a musician, but rather draws upon his early experiences of playing music as a means of survival on the streets. This serves as yet another testament to Klaus’ humility and the level of excellence he exemplifies in all his endeavors.

I would like to extend my gratitude to all of you for this unexpected yet entertaining conversation. I believe we can all agree that the outcome of this debate is undeniably in my favor, and I would kindly suggest that you refrain from attempting to rise after this knockout. I possess ample material to continue this discussion for weeks, if necessary.

Ya’ll is it time for recipes ? Maybe something to assuage our injuries . Maybe something light. I’m chock full of BS.

Haha. When I was teaching Vietnamese refugees back in the 1990s I got a request for the lyrics to Hotel California and was rather appalled to find out I knew all the words. The ear worms of adolescence are burrowed in for life. And no I don’t need to hear a failed life coach sing about mirrors on the ceiling pink champagne on ice of our own device.

I wasn’t aware that this thread was a contest, but if it makes you happy to claim “victory”, sure, great match, dude. What’s the prize?

[quietann]

This thread is starting to feel like the Hotel California.

I still think an AI is involved.

[ThreeWishes]

Post your favorite recipe then. Something yummy. Let’s ignore the BS. I’m hungry @quietann!

OP wins by TKO in their mind now I know it’s a troll

[quietann]

Hm… I’ve been making egg salad, Turkish style.

8 hard boiled eggs, chopped (we use the Instant Pot)
1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon dried sumac.
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)

Combine all these and serve over spinach or arugula. Sprinkle with pine nuts or chopped walnuts. We have found that it tastes even better the next day!

[ThreeWishes]

That sounds delicious!!! Thank you
