Think you just happened upon a site populated by amazonian women!!!!
I love my horse like that, and it's not illegal. Pets are often much more sympathetic than people (members of this forum excluded). My horse has got me through the death of my father, and my grandmother, and the break up of the one bloke I could really see me settling down with. He's also helped me through my panic attacks, and listened to all my problems.
The main reason I joke about the bit pasture in the sky is because of his phenominal age - 32 (he's about 128 in human years). My theory is if I keep it in my mind now, it won't be so traumatic when the time finally comes (and it is fast approaching, bless him).
Bryan - I think you should stop being so selfish. I'm 6 2 in my going out boots, and for some reason most of the local blokes are midgets. I have developed a curvature of the spine trying to get down to their level and avoid conversations aimed solely at my chest. And before you say it - I like wearing heels, and I ain't going to stop!
With your sense of humour and outlook on life, you don't sound past it to me Bryan (even if you've passed the half way mark for the cemetery!! LOL)
