    Yes! And besides, men have to pay for the important stuff. There’s nothing wrong with a lady earning a little pocket money to spend on fun stuff like clothes. And that way, he has no reason to complain about your shopping habits!

    I grew up on Quarterhorses and Paints, I did hunter/jumper for a couple years, but nothing beats the thrill of barrel racing and pole bending in my book. I love horses in general and support all forms of riding, except for those that abuse the animals themselves. Thats why I’ve never enjoyed saddlebreds. SLAM to all riders, who share my passion for horses!

    Um, what makes you think that every Saddlebred is abused? I know one who does dressage and he loves it.

    I guess I had a bad experience with a couple of high dollar show barns in SC that taught their Saddlebreds to pick their feet up by throwing fire crackers in the stall when they were foals.

    While that is sad, I don’t understand why that means you have to shun an entire breed just because some of them are abused. That would be like me saying that I’ve never enjoyed Quarter Horses because some of them are western pleasure peanut rollers or because I had a bad experience watching a video of Craig Schmersal abusing his reiner (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en_90D5TOKA).

    Horses of all breeds are abused. Obviously it should stop, but why discriminate against a perfectly good breed? A good horse is a good horse and should be treated as such.

    It’s “German Warmblood”. But I appreciate the sentiment!

    Another equestrian here! I also played tennis back in the day, but wanted to compete in horse shows more than tennis tournaments.

    Thank you SigmaSweet for this discussion! I have been wanting to hear what y’all have to say about all kinds of fads! And thank you Glitter_and_Pearls for the perfume question! I was wondering the same thing! I’m looking for a new scent but I can’t decide! There are too many to choose from! But I do love my Amazing Grace too, 1874SocietyGirl. So for right now I’m just sticking with that.
    Also, what are y’all’s favorite nail colors for Summer 2011? What do y’all think about the Pirate collection by OPI? Are y’all liking that or Essie’s Brazialiant collection better?
    And what size pearls do you all wear? Where I am from, a lot of girls love to wear huge pearls but I don’t know if that is just a regional thing? Are you all into the regular size or the larger ones? Maybe you all think that the bigger the pearl the more money you have, but I have never thought of it like that. Thanks in advance for the advice and help!
    Thank you all so much for creating such a great TSM community!

    I really love Smooth Sailing by Essie. So pretty. And I prefer regular sized pearls but it doesn’t bother me when other people wear big ones.

    “Knowing you’d be a better mom at 16”

    So, you’re currently 16? Because the past tense would have read “knowing you would have been a better mom”.

    Thanks for the support everyone. Healthiness = happiness, and women who are both are SO much more fun to hang around with. Beauty is so much more than a body and a face; it’s also the inner confidence that comes from taking pride in yourself and your appearance. Thanks for being classy.
