A donkey simply accepts the human for what he is and moves on.<br /><br />Sometimes I envy the equine's ability to whip around and deliver that double-barrel hoof kick. IMO that would give me the most satisfaction of anything in certain situations!billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-20437383298355943272011-03-22T21:48:27.537-05:002011-03-22T21:48:27.537-05:00billie, good lord, you've been reading my mind...billie, good lord, you've been reading my mind! Just today a perfect stranger in a delivery vehicle jumped out, walked to the fence and commented rudely on my body shape. At first glance I could see that he toed-in rather badly, was pigeon-chested, had a small pig eye and his ears didn't match. I said not a word but simply turned on my heel and exited the area. Breeding will tell every time - not that that cretin would know.ponymaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996833096239732307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-31643994384678762122011-03-22T21:45:49.133-05:002011-03-22T21:45:49.133-05:00Thanks, Arlene - that is perfect.

But that's besides the point. What I usually say to someone who comments on something I'm doing or who is annoying me with their know-it-allness (and this is slightly obnoxious, which I've been known to be given the right situation)is " if you minded your own business you'd have less time to mind mine." Try it next time it works wonders.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-3331784162114045312011-03-22T20:04:25.040-05:002011-03-22T20:04:25.040-05:00It was appalling - it wasn't even a horse I kn...It was appalling - it wasn't even a horse I knew and I felt upset hearing the comments.<br /><br />I was so tempted to turn to the commenter and do a quick assessment of physical attributes that were sub-standard. <br /><br />Gak. <br /><br />I am probably getting more sensitive now that I'm working on the nonfiction book again. This might be a chapter! But not much zen in critiquing the bodies of partners... sigh.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-83924727842747403392011-03-22T19:54:18.829-05:002011-03-22T19:54:18.829-05:00I'm glad I wasn't the conformation comment...I'm glad <i>I</i> wasn't the conformation commenter!! ;)Calm, Forward, Straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360276614916635500noreply@blogger.com
