on air fundraiser
This message is from: Teressa Kandianis [EMAIL PROTECTED] What about establishing a goal for annual costs for the lists and have an on line fundraising - little administration - just keep asking for donations until the goal is reached. And do it just once a year. No point in having premiums etc - and people could let their names be known and issue challenges or contribute anonymously or not contribute at all. From what Steve said on last night's chat, the total amount is about $1 per current list member. So the total amount shouldn't be hard to raise amongst us all. And people could abide by the honor system - in that, once pledged they would have to send money without being billed. Does this sound feasible?

How Your Web Site can Generate Over 25 Times More Buying Customers in Less than a Year, by Michael W. Campbell GET RID OF EVERYTHING ON THE HOME PAGE Put what you now call your home page inside your web site and use it as a directory to navigate your site. Set up a new home page, its sole purpose should be to attract a major search engine and funnel the visitors inside, to your site's directory. The home page should not contain any frames, tables or scripts of any kind. Use plain simple html consisting of title, headlines, links and body copy, perhaps even a small graphic or two. You don't even need meta tags on the home page. USE MORE THAN ONE SITE Retailers do it in the real world so why limit yourself to one location in the virtual world. What is hosting going to cost you, $25.00 a month? That's a drip in an ocean compared to the enormous boost in traffic that more sites will bring. Start with six web sites, mirror the content, put slightly different headlines and meta tags on each of the mirrored pages. If your original site consisted of 10 pages, you now have 60 pages working for you in the search engines. Since mirroring is being frowned on by some lately, you might want to get around this by making each site into a different product category. Simply make each site highly targeted to one product line and tie the look and feel of the various sites together by using the same graphic design style and logos. CROSS LINKING Very important, make sure each page inside your site (not the home pages) links to all your other sites and pages. Each internal page will contain 59 links, the best way to do this is with a 1x1 pixel transparent gif. Doing this will beat the link popularity penalty that's employed by several search engines. It will also create a self

Re: Saying Goodbye :-(
This message is from: John and Martie Bolinski [EMAIL PROTECTED] Michele, Our hearts are with you in your loss. To lose 2 horses so close together is even worse. No-one can say anything to make is easier right at this minute, but with time you will be able to remember all the good things without quite so much pain. Everytime I read someone's post about losing an animal, I cry over my first pony. And all the others. We too have some oldtimers and are playing the waiting game. The vet just pronounced our 31 year old fit for light riding to keep her 'young at heart' but the 25 year old must be retired to 'pasture ornament'. His bout with EPM a few years back have left him with nerve damage that we just can't come to grips with. He is not in pain, but has a lack of muscle control on his right side. I just have fears of the younger horse not outlasting his oldest pasture mate. Our sympathies and best wishes, Martie, John in muddy MD

Re: loss
This message is from: Rebecca Mayer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Having lost horses, and dogs, grandparents, a father, and a sister ( at Christmas)and having an old horse (23) and dog (14) I share the sad feelings of all of you who have lost loved one. I like this poem. The Power of the Dog by Rudyard Kipling There is sorrow enough in the natural way From men and women to fill our day; And when we are certain of sorrow in store, Why do we always arrange for more? Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware Of giving your heart to a dog to tear. Buy a pup and your money will buy Love unflinching that cannot lie-- Perfect passion and worship fed by a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head. Nevertheless it is hardly fair To risk you heart for a dog to tear. When the 14 years which Nature permits Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits, And the vet's unspoken prescription runs To lethal chambers or loaded guns, Then you will find--it's your own affair But...you've given your heart to a dog to tear. When the body that lived at your single will, With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!) When the spirit that answered your every mood Is gone--wherever it goes--for food, You will discover how much you care, And will give your heart to a dog to tear. We've sorrow enough in the natural way, When it comes to burying Christian clay. Our loves are not given, but only lent, At compound interest of cent per cent. Though it is not always the case, I believe, That the longer we've kept 'em the more we do grieve: For when debts are payable, right or wrong, A short-term loan is as bad as a long-- So why in Heaven (before we are there) Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?

I found it very strange the way I lost my first horse. A trainer had left a halter on him (unbeknownst to me) and he broke his neck on a fence. Of course I was horribly upset. I called my best friend in tears, and told her to not ask how Neraff was ever again, that he had died. In tears she told me her grandmother and her cat had passed away the same day. Her grandma was something else. In the old days she was a dancer in the silent movies, and always seemed to play the part of the fallen woman. We figured this wonderful, classic, classy lady (who still had her dancers legs in her old age) needed a horse to ride and a cat to keep her company. It comforted my friend and me to think so. In some ways, 25 years later, it still does. Pamela

Re: fjordhorse-digest V99 #309
This message is from: Carl Sarah Nagel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Ceacy, I had heard of your loss, but hadn't even applied it here recently. Thank you for the wonderful reminder of how fortunate June Jean were to have lived long and productive lives. And we cared for them and loved them and appreciated them. It's just hard for us to let go, we always want more don't we? Both of my husband's grandparents lived well into their ninety's and we often said how much easier it was to accept their deaths because they had lived long, full and productive lives ... then for instance, when a young neice of ours was killed in her twenty's in a car accident. The shock of that will be with us for a great time. You are right, there are no guarantees. We thank the Lord for every day he gives us and enjoy and appreciate the horses we are fortunate enough to have now. I'm happy there was support for you in your time of great loss and thank you for the timely reminder to appreciate what we have now. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful ponies Oh!

To those of you who have lost old horses consider the alternative. To live a long life and to be loved and cared for is all any of us can ask for. To lose a loved one, animal or person, prematurely due to accident or illness, is a painful reminder that there are no guarantees. To live to an old age is a privilage, not that it makes the loss any less to those left behind. I love the image of the old mares pulling a wagon together. To die with dignity is all any of us can wish for. I know alittle about loss when it comes to horses, it was only two years ago that I lost six, including two pregnant mares. I still cry sometimes, but if it is any consolation to those of you who have just lost your fjord friends, the pain does lessen and the joy of still having the Fjords in my life has healed my heart beyond what I would ever have thought possible two years ago. I also want to add that it was because of many of you on this list and in the horse community that I was able to stay in business. Every new fuzzy Fjord foal that comes into my life is still a miracle, and despite the saddness of losing my beloved ponies, I would never want to miss having them to share in my life. So here's to Velsigne, Nina, Olivia, Reina, Soren, and Anika, and to all the other Fjords that have been part of our families and have gone ahead to wherever it is the souls of sweet animals go. May the New Year bring you all peace . Ceacy at home with her ponies in Colrain.
Re: List must move (re ads)
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regarding the ads that everyone has been mentioning...the ads are very small. OneLists ads are at the end of the email and you are never forced to see them. Personally I barely notice them now. When I do notice them it is an ad for another popular list on OneList. Then at the very end you get the same header/sender garbage that you get on all internet mail. So really I can't see the point of being concerned about the ads...they are FAR less noticeable than the ones on websites. They aren't popups either. Kate in CT where winter has finally arrived.

Lost Loved Ones
This message is from: Larson [EMAIL PROTECTED] My daughter, eight years old, read about Rainbow Bridge and Jensina. In July of this year, she lost her pony, Freckles. Freckles was a feisty old gal with a heart as big as they come when around children and an impossible attitude when around adults. She lived for children and only children. On the 4th of July, our neighbors decided to have a fireworks display...unbeknownst to us. The sudden explosions and screaming rockets so startled and frightened Freckles that she ran through the barn wall and crushed her front leg. Needless to say, Freckles was put out of her pain immediately. How do you tell an eight year old who lives, breathes and loves her pony? How do you explain Freckles can't be fixed? After all, people can be. And if she must die, will God take her to heaven along with Grammy and Grandpa? Nothing is more heart breaking than to see such a young heart so sore and confused. But, miracles do happen. And God imparts wisdom, even to the young. Actually, probably more often to the young since they are still willing to listen :-) So, according to Jodi, Jensina and Freckles were taken to heaven on purpose. There is some little boy or some little girl who always wanted a pony. They had to leave their Moms and Dads too soon. They miss their families. So God, in His infinite wisdom and mercy, took these wonderful friends of ours to live and love and comfort every child who had to go to heaven too soon. As I watch my children struggle to understand and accept the vagaries of life, I am forever grateful Man was given dominion over animals. It is among the greatest gifts given. And, whatever your beliefs, please accept Jodi's explanation for the comfort it is intended to convey. Merry Christmas - The Larsons
