Everyone got dumped.

FarmWife dumped everyone—EVERYONE—on facebook today. Even her husband. Her mother. Her best friend.

Everyone but me, Fenway Bartholomule, because she manages my very important fanpage and because I am stupendously fun.

If you were FarmWife's facebook friend, please don't take her disappearance personally. She still likes you! She feels like this about internet use: It can be purposeful, and wonderful, and of tremendous usefulness, or it can be an addictive, life-sucking drain on time, energy, and attention span.

Luckily for me, she feels that working as my transcriptionist falls into the purposeful category, and she even feels that maintaining my blog with me has helped her become a better person, with better connections, better skills, better focus, and above all more Muleness.

We are not going anywhere! Brays of Our Lives has blossomed into an important part of our shared day, each and every day, and both FarmWife and I are grateful and excited by the positive attention from all of you, our beloved readers. Please keep coming, keep reading, keep commenting . . . and keep carrying the message forth. The world needs more Muleness.

Love,
Fenway Bartholomule

    it is a good move.

    Facebook is becoming a bit too invasive of privacy as well. I am sure your Mum has a lot on her hands and wishes to protect you and preserve your character.

    perhaps this will free up some time and she can spend more of it with YOU!!!

    hey that is a good thing

    I agree, Facebook is kind of scary. I don't visit it much.

    Good for FarmWife! Mother has long ago stopped using her cell phone for anything but calling people and voicemail. She doesn't do Facebook (although I have an account so she can look at people's pictures they post)... But we certainly enjoy your BLOG, and hope FarmWife enjoys translating for you as much as the readers like reading it!

Here are the Cloud Dog's X-Rays

Here, for your edification, are the X-rays of dear Paisley's leg. There is, apparently, no new break (since his Monday siezure) but there is, of course, a great deal of abnormality caused by years of living with a shortened ulna. His pronounced lameness, the vet says, may temporarily improve. Unlike me, Fenway Bartholomule, poor cloud dog can't expect much in the way of a full recovery.   Not having the $$$$ for surgery to fuse the joint, we are working on making some sort of rigid splint to support the limb and prevent further degeneration. That is, the humans (with their space-age material inventions and their opposable thumbs) are working on making a splint; I am working on giving cloud dog brayful looks of support and encouragement every time he totters into the yard to relieve himself. As always, he fears me (me?!) and keeps his distance.  Ears to you,  Fenway

Saddle fitting nightmare

I wonder if they had to pay a saddle fitter to tell them the Schleese didn't fit. FB http://www.besthorsestuff.com/ShowAd/index.php?id=4deed0d102f85 For Sale: 18 inch Schleese Jes Elite dressage saddle with Flair Air panels.  This saddle is in exceptionally good, like-new condition with the exception of needing repairs to the front left air bag.  Our Schleese saddle fitter (at the May 28, 2011 fitting) quoted the repair cost at $75-$150. The tree is currently set to "wide" and can be fully adjusted by a saddle fitter.  See the Schleese website for more details. Asking $1200 OBO, a significantly reduced price compared to the current market value of $2000 for the same saddle in pristine, like-new condition. NOTE:  The "saddle rack" is not for sale.  Heehee! Please contact us for more details, serial numbers, questions, or pictures of the saddle.  This is very nice, quality, comfortable and correct saddle for a fraction of the cost, even after the r...
