about rocknhorse
I've been a GOLO member for some time now and thought maybe it was time to update my profile.
As stated before, I'm a happily married mother of two wonderful kids. Life doesn't get any better. I am truly the luckiest person in the world to have my wonderful family! My husband and I are self-employed and have been for 10 years. We've had our struggles in the past, but it's the strength of our love that supports us through the tough times.
I am fortunate to have 4 horses, which I train using gentle methods. I believe that you have to see the world through their eyes. When you can successfully do that, then you can understand them and train them accordingly. This philosophy works equally well when communicating with people.
I am an optimist. Even during bad times, I seek the silver lining! Every event, every mistake is a learning experience. Rather than dwell on the negative, focus on the positive and don't waste the lesson!
I have been accused of being very opinionated and stubborn - neither are negative traits in my opinion! I believe what I believe, but I'm open to other opinions. While I may respect your opinion, that doesn't mean I'll agree. Likewise, just because I may disagree, that doesn't mean I cannot still respect your right to your opinion.
I believe as Americans, we have been afforded the same opportunities. Some of us took advantage of those opportunities and some did not. Those who work to excel and to better their lives should not be held back for the benefit of those who do not!
I believe in a hand up but not a hand out!
I believe in accountability/responsibility for your actions! Life is about choices and every action involves CHOICE! If you make the wrong choice, you should be held accountable-no excuses!
Beauty comes from within! It is confidence in being who you are and liking/loving that person!!!
Topics that are extremely important to me are drunk driving and anything that involves kids. Wrecks that occur because of drunk drivers are not "accidents." Kids need to be protected. People who abuse kids should be dealt with in manners that I cannot state here.
Finally, I believe in honesty, but diplomacy when interacting with each other.
Welcome to my profile. I have many pictures in my Image Gallery! I welcome comments, thoughts, discussions and debates!

You're blue-collar blog was totally awesome! House is looking good. I'll bet you're so glad you actually helped. What a great feeling, huh?

I agree. The stairs are an immediate showcase as to the quality of the craftmanship in the house. Of course, back when many of the grand staircases were built, men worked for pennies a day. I agree, extra molding really "kicks it up a notch."

There are about 3 items on my profile that will clue you in to pretty much how I think. The rest is fluff and stuff... and if you've noticed what a mouth I have and how much flirting I do, that's not all me, either. Lolly will vouch for me. I think.
I had a look at your comments about yourself and some of your photos. Looks like a great family and homelife. I live in the country and have horses all around me, but I don't own any. And my baby is 22.

Our dishwasher has a name and is has a long life expectancy- the KIDS! lol
HOws your house coming along? We are moving this week and it is looking like a tornado blew through here! My kitchen is stacked with boxes. I think theres a table somewhere buried in the corner under all the boxes.
Although, my room (or the kids) has never been as clutter free as right now...lol
We start hauling boxes and whatever else we can shove in the minivan tomorrow night. saturday culminates with a pickup for the big big things (which isnt much)

You should try and catch one of those Lake gaston stripers. They're 100% pure muscle fish and will make you work to get them to the boat!!! I've never been to Lake Gaston, but always wanted to. When you go this weekend, let me know if you caught any fish. That might just be all the urging I need to head that way soon!!!!
Have a great day tomorrow!

My reply, "I catch 99% of my largemouth bass on offshore structures such as roadbeds, gravel points, and humps." This only works well during the summer months.
As far as my set up, here goes....
The baitcaster reel filled with Spiderwire Stealth 30-pound Braided line.
Next comes a one-ounce bullet weight (Bass Pro 25-pack)
Next a plastic red bead.
Then a swivel tied to the braided line using a Palamar's Knot.
Then on the other end of the swivel a 2~3 ft. leader of Stren's 12# mono line.
Then a Lazar Sharp #3 worm hook (Wal Mart)
And lastly (my secret weapon)...Gulp's 7" Turtleback worm in Cherryseed color (red)... hooked as straight as an arrow with the point just under the skin of the worm.
I never "set" the hook, but merely keep a tight line. The bass will hook himself.

Hope you enjoy this leading up story. It tells of Lucky, Lukey and Me as boys growing up country. Well it's not too far into the country but you willl get the gist of it. Mararet is in there somewhere.
