I imagine so.
Just couldn't quite shake the feeling of the disapproving gazes from the gelding after they had finally shaken off the drugs.

«I was going to be an equine Casanova, and now... what am I going to do now?»
At least it didn't go to waste.
This is the kind of graphic story that I enjoy. I would have liked being a surgeon so...
I wanted to be a Historian, but that didn't rally work out, so now I'm working at a professional harness-racing stable ^^ .
I wanted to study Medicine, but the year I finished my studies the marks for entering the Public University in Santiago were very high and I couldn't even though I was a good student.
So I started studying Biology, but I didn't feel like studying after my mother died some months ago. So I lost interest and spent some years doing nothing at university until I decided to quit and study to be a Lab Technician.
Best decision ever. And I got so high marks in my studies as a Lab Tech that I can access to study Medicine in whichever university I want.
If someday I have the money to do it I still want to study Medicine in a future. I'd probably stay at a lab because I really like it but I'd love to be able to participate in Investigation as most of the Doctors and Biologists on my work place do.

Hmmm, just a head up, if you should ever find yourself with a blood/urine/whatever sample with my name on it, please discount any traces of horse tranquilizers...
What! I would never do anything like that!

I was going to be an archaeologist, but it turned out you had to go to college for that.
So I build s&&# and sell toys instead. :-)

And you have a Tiny T-Rex at home. Sounds like a better life ;-D
Yea life turns out strange doesn't it ^^
Although, I wish, I was as smart/wise as I am today, back then so I could have taken better care of myself, instead of chasing an academic career.
We are told that studying a career is the best thing we can do, but that's not true for everybody. I am glad with my life as it is and I regret nothing because it has made me as I am today. I lost a lot of opportunities so I could care for my grandparents, but jobs will always be there and my grandparents won't.
Another topic: I'm at the mart and I want yell at a woman for buying cheap wine in a brick. Wine in a brick shouldn't even be a thing! For 50cents more she could be buying a decent white wine that didn't ruin her dishes!
I can be so snobbish at times xD
Your Spanish, a land of quite fine wines, so I think your are in the clear for being quality conscious. As for wine bricks, I can take them or leave them, although I prefer a glass bottle for aesthetic (and snobbish) reasons :-) .
Speaking of which, I think I have a nice Rioja in a cupboard somewhere...
*mouth watering*
Rioja is a good wine. Just because it's from Galicia and for staying local, I like Ribeiro and Mencía better. As a white wine I usually use Albariño which is also a local variety.
But in La Rioja they have very good wine too, I have to admit it.
As a fun fact I don't like wine a lot,just for cooking. But I can appreciate the difference between good wines and bad wines.

I have to take a look, next time I'm at ye old Wine-merchant, to see if I can find any Galician wines, sounds like its worth a try.
Now I think I'll be going, I should have taken a bath an hour ago, and I getting a bit tried of smelling like a mix of horse sweat and blood. Might be some time, before I get back on the tread, as we are gaming tonight.
So see you later you little minxy changeling.

Sir! Language please!
Galician wines have a slightly more acidic taste compared to Rioja wines. They are also a bit more fresh and fruity.
Good morn' take 2!
*Comes out of the bathroom with a towel around his head*
Morning John.
Sorry gonna go again, just thought it would be rude not to say hallo.
Vitamin C lots of vitamin C
Lots and lots! You can't overdose on Vitamin C, and it's an important factor in immune system function.
So, it's the same as with cattle (someone had to help my dad and the elderly vet, and I was the only one stupid enough not to pretend to sleep in, which is always why I got to help when butchering season rolled around).
When that time rolled around for us I didn't get the excuse to sleep in. It was up and at it whether I wanted to or not.

I have 7 brothers, so my parents could be choosy if they wanted. :-)

In less than an hour, I sketched out my next three Mythic adventures. I love it when the ideas just keep falling out of my head onto my notebook!

We recommend you install a railing.
Eventually, one will miss the notepad and sue.
We certainly don't recommend keeping a metal pipe handy, in case it survives.
Great idea! And thanks for the metal pipe!

Grocery shopping today. Got a giant carton of wonderful sweet strawberries. They will be gone by the end of tonight. We're kind of fighting each other for who gets more strawberries. :)

Nighty night everyone
Good morning.
According to my clock it's still evening (11:07 p.m. as I type this).
Yeah thats about where mine was too but I just got to work a little while ago this is my morning and I shall force it on you all!
Good morning! How are you all?
I ended going to sleep really late last night (1.30 AM) and I am really tired today. *Yawns*

See kileanna gets it^
What I'm not getting is enough sleep xD
I can relate to that.
The person in order 66 that talked about the lack of medical insurance really gave me the creeps. It's a sensitive topic for me as I've seen my government trying to deliberately destroy our wonderful public healthcare to their own benefits. I work in a public hospital and that worries me a lot, not just because it affects me as a worker but because I've always thought that education and healthcare are the pillars of society.
I think it was accidental and I am not flagging. It just touched a soft spot.
My father was being treated by his private insurance because of some serious health issues he has. They knew he had internal bleeding but couldn't find where it was.
So they said they couldn't do more. He went into public healthcare and asked them to make a further exploration so he was interned that day. Next day he started vomiting blood. More than 1 liter of blood. If he hadn't been already at a hospital he would have died while waiting for an ambulance.
Now he is much better. He had an splenectony and many other surgeries. Public healthcare paid for everything.
Not that I am OK with it, I think it is a bad taste joke and it gives me the creeps. Unfortunately there are too many people in our world who'd be dying of treatable diseases because they cannot afford to undergo treatment.
Those who know me probably know that I love Medicine with a passion and that was just too much for me. Sensitive topic and an awful wording by the side of the poster.
But I don't know that person so I don't think there is a reason for harassing.
I could take something as personal if it was said by someone who knows me or that I care about but this is not the case. I'm not giving it more relevance than it has.

Yeah I thought it was definitely out of place. Not something I would of joked about.
Also couldn't agree more healthcare and education are essential to a free and effective society.
Back to food (we all came here to talk about food and we know xD), yesterday I had a lot of meat unused, some of them small cuts, so today I have made it into ground beef and making homemade burgers.
I seasoned the beef with some cream cheese (just a little bit), black pepper, and fine herbs: parsley, chive and tarragon.
I hadn't made burgers since a couple of weeks ago and I really wanted to.
Phew. School done. You folks have been busy!
Yes, we have.
A celebratory cookout? What sauce are you planning to use?
I'm thinking a BBQ this weekend. I'm in the mood for some grilled chicken and maybe some nice grilled vegetables
I usually just marinade.
This recipe is close , but I'd toss in some rosemary as well.

A bit iffy about the cream cheese (personal preference, add it if its your thing of cause), but rest makes my mouth water.
