*grabs Owl and*Rerorerorero.

Hey everyone.

So, I do some survey's for various websites (in the hopes of winning money and vouchers) and one of them often has questions about computers and games.
And every time they ask what devices I own to play games on it lists all the various consoles and handhelds, PC and, as a separate item, Steam... :/
Which confuses the hell out of me, because if you use steam you are a PC gamer so presumably it's there as an option for those people who use Steam and don't even realise that that makes them a PC gamer... 0_0
Admittedly they could mean Steam Boxes (or whatever they call them) but they don't say Steam Box and they don't list consoles like the Ouya so it doesn't seem likely...

Anyway, just thought I would share that with you all. Continue with your business.

:-D ... Fine, I won't eat it... I do have <i>some</i> [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/b7/41/6b/b7416b4f9a5457ef443f2970947e3938.jpg]dignity, after all...

Hope you have a good evening, Owl.
** One more extra-special hug **

I'll be off for the moment. See you all later *big hugs and waves*


Moin :).

Yeah have seen this before too. It's rather odd indeed. I ignored that even when i mainly used steam...

Is there no where close that will allow you to enjoy some horse riding again? Perhaps when she is older, you and your Owlets could go horse riding together, I am sure you would all enjoy it.

*Big return hug*

*Big welcome home hug*

I bet you are glad to be home after such a long day? How did it go at work?

I should be finished in another hour or so, then I can get home for a nice hot bath and enjoy sitting in the warmth.

*extra big hug* So glad to be home. It was annoying to work this day and in addition this depressing weather. It has been raining all day really strong, so I arrived home with wet shoes...
But at least now it is weekend *yeah*

*energizing hug to last you through your last working hour today*

Thank your for the energising hug, I needed that. :-)

It has been raining a bit here as well, but luckily not all day. There is a very strong cold wind though, and I can't wait to get out of it and be home. I am just hoping the weather improves over the weekend, as I am hoping to go horse riding with my partner on Sunday, just as long as the weather is not too bad.

I hope the rest of your evening is nice and relaxing. You deserve it after your week of hard work.

*big happy hug*

Sounds like you have a nice plan for your weekend :-) I hope the weather will be good! Have you been horse riding for a long time?

Thank you. I used to ride a little when I was younger, but not too much. But for the last few years I have been riding a lot more, mainly due to the fact that my partner works with horses and she always likes me to go riding with her. My partner has always enjoyed riding, even when she was very little - she had two horses of her own when she was younger.

Have you ever been horse riding?

Random fact : Elephants are the only wild animal that understands pointing https://vimeo.com/76596749

(Special thanks to my cat, who prompted me to look this up after staring at my finger like a cute little moron when I tried to point at something behind her :-))

Nice to have an activity you can enjoy together :-) So do you have your own horse?
I have never been horse riding. I am not really good with animals ;-)

No, we use some of the horses at the stables. The stables are used as a training centre for people of all ages who want to learn how to ride and care for a horse, so the horses there are very good to handle. The stables also looks after privately owned horses, but they are the property of the owners and definitely not to be ridden by anyone except the owner. My partner mainly deals with the horses and also teaches children how to ride them properly, and if they are advanced enough maybe some show jumping as well.

Maybe one day you could try some horse riding, as long as it is a friendly horse it is usually a lot of fun. I am sure you would be great at it and really enjoy it.

Did you also know at they are the only mammals who can't jump? :-)

(They have also been known to murder, kidnap, and rape. Not just with other elephants, but other species as well.)

Maybe. First I would need to convince myself to go near them :D

Makes sense :-D

and... holy pluck o__o ... I didn't know that other stuff. I'm reading an article about how they show empathy. When another elephant is in pain, they will try to comfort that elephant by caressing it with their trunk and making chirping sounds. They also try to "bury" their dead by covering them with branches...

I want one!! :-D
