Hi, :wave:
I just though I would ask,but there does not seem to be as many replies to post's at the moment?! i.e.35 views,zero replies,one had 271 views and only a handful of replies.Has everyone lost their tongues or are all those super experienced professionals away on their hols? ??? ;D

Maybe they're all out chasing escaped randy Kune Kune boars (and his following hareem) in the dark like I have? ::) :D
I'm still here just not got much to say (for a change ;)) :wave:

I love to read as many posts as possible - but mostly to learn - don't feel experienced enough to reply to anything I've not actually experienced - if i's pygmy goatie I'm ok

It can feel like that sometimes, there's always an ebb and flow on the forum.
It's actually been a busy month on here - already more posts and new topics than all but 2 months last year.
If you want to see the boring details there are all kinds of stats here:

So sorry about your pony, PP. I gave Ellied a big hug yesterday to represent all the ehugs she got on here when she lost Run.. Hope you have someone near you who can do the same for you.

u certainly know who ur friends are when things go wrong. the best ones are there to hold ur hand, wipe ur tears and mop up blood. the 2 faced slime balls disappear like snaffled eggs!
anyone going to the thainstone spring show? we might take a stallion - who weighed in at 600kg today and i can feel his ribs!!! he was off the scale for the pony weigh tape and hes only 14.2hh - now that would make a few sausages...lol
I'd have loved to have gone to Thainstone, but we're up in Aberdeen the weekend of the 11th, (I'll do the virtual hug representation then if you're around ? ;) :-*) don't think the budget's up to two weekends away in one month :(
Is the stallion the one you hade the painting done of ? He's a stunning looking cuddy :thumbsup: (not that I know anything about horses 'cept most of them are bigger than me and a tad scary :D)
Chin up chick - things will get better :bouquet:

For a new career in banking?

PP so sorry to hear about your pony {{{ hugs}}} :bouquet:
I haven't disappeared. I've been answering posts like mad (can't shut me up) but I have noticed there haven't been so many. Not in the sections I read anyway.

Broadband has been down all day in S Lanarkshire, Edinburgh and Darlington - just back. There are loads of messages to read...... :)
I love the tumbleweed 8)

So sorry for the loss of your pony,
few years ago we imported an arab mare who had won the Dutch national Championships 3 years running, we only had her about six weeks whe she got salmonella poisoning from drinking out of the river Severn, I cried like a baby , It's horrid sitting with a dead horse waiting for the mort waggon to come.

Yes,so very Sorry to hear about your Pony. :-[ :'( and I agree,so many so and so's disappear into the woodwork when you need them most.at least you find out whom your real friends are.Just remember you are better than them. :thumbsup:
The question I hope was inoffensive,I know we all work very hard and out all hours of the day so I do hope nobody took it personally.I think I felt there are not too many answers to questions in some categories,I must admit even I am spending time in the coffee lounge etc ;) whilst I have been smallholding for 2-3 yrs now-well full time,I don't see myself as a body of authority or professional by any means,we all learn things every day but I feel there are many of you whom have been doing it so much longer than I,so I always look up to those who have more experience. :)
I too love the tumbleweed ;D
Dan,I have to admit and I do apologise,I have never seen that page before-but then,it did not occur to me to look. :-[
I am happy to see you are all here ;D xxxx

Sorry to hear about your pony PP i know how i felt when i lost mine :'(
I can't keep up with all the posts sometimes so i tend to go for the ones i can answer or reply to quickly. It gets very busy at work, so i can only post to quick ones there, then there's demanding hubby at home who cry's " are you on that bloody forum again, where me tea" :D
So i throw something at him and carry on typing ...... that's the other thing i'm naff at typing and some of you put such long posts on here i would be exhausted if i typed that much!!! :P

some of the posts are time related (time of day) others are day related for responces good or bad
it is addictive when we were without internet the unread posts just piled up some posts you have just got to reply to (they are so way of the mark) others all you would be doing is working the bale counter
i have said before i don't do tea and sympathy so tend not to get involved with these ones on a large scale
some people there life changes for better or worse and so does there postings either none or on constantly
the stastictis what can i say 66 days at present most of that is Lillian she will come on and leave a page up with the meter running i tend to come in log on catch up and out again :farmer:
PS Dan i know the dodge that was pulled with the bale counter Lillian expected a reaction from me it did not happen also is that the ban on moving avatars lifted now ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Well, it's SUNNY out there 8)...............MoH finished trenching in the water supply to the polytunnel at the weekend................. and I'm digging over and mucking the beds in the PT ready to plant my onion sets and start sowing carrots................, and cleaning out the vacant turkey/chicken/duck houses ready for the ones I'm gonna hatch this year................................, and...............................

Very sorry PP its the one thing I dread every time I go to the field on my own and the ponies think it's funny to lie in the sun and play sleeping lions not moving a muscle until you are stood over them.
I try to read most post each day to learn from them but as I am very new to this I'm not able to reply very often.

I have to have my hour's TAS 'fix' every day. ;D
