I would suggest something like this:

Dear *friend's name*,

I am really sorry about your lost. (S)He was a good woman/man.  If there is anything I can do or if you just want to talk, I'm here for you. :)

Your Friend:

*your name*

It may be awkward or hard to talk about such things, but nonetheless, you need to … Read more

The best way to get a boy to like you is to be yourself. Yes, that is the big secret. You want to boy to like you for you, not someone else. If he likes when you are *not* "you", he like liking you for the wrong reasons. He should like you in whatever the … Read more

Have a "just-mommy-and-me" chat. Break the news kindly, but firmly - this is no time to be silly. Try not to freak out or cry intensely in the beginning, this may scare your daughter.

I suggest saying something like this:

"You know, there are many things in this world that we cannot control. Death is one of … Read more

It depends on the cat(s) and dog(s) who are trying to get along.

When I first brought my new dog home, she used to chase my cat like crazy. I tried giving her dog obedience lessons, but I was like it all went through one ear and out the other! He did not really care for … Read more

I, personally, love the mountain view so any mountain home. ^.^

I stayed at a mountain resort in North Carolina in the winter of 2013. Although it was COLD, it had the most breath-taking view I had ever seen. I loved watching the sunrise and the sun kiss the fog-filled mountains at sunset. At night, you … Read more

To subtract a fraction, you need a common denominator. In this case, it is 6.

1 1/2 = 1 3/6

2/3 = 4/6

Since you cannot subtract 4/6 from 3/6, you have to carry a 6 (the "1") and add it to 3/6.

3/6 + 6/6 = 9/6

You no longer have 1 3/6, you now have 9/6.

9/6 - 4/6 … Read more

Least to Greatest:

0.03

0.3

3.003

3.03

3.3

If greatest to least, it is the other way around. :)

There are twenty-four hours in one day, and thirty (or thirty-one, whatever you want) days in one month.

So:

24 (hours) x 30 (days in one month) = 720 (hours in one month)

720 (hours in one month) x 9 (months) = 6, 480 (hours in nine months)

No, 1,500 hours does *not* equal 9 months.

I have been riding over 15 years, and I still have not learned to jump. xD

You may start jumping whenever you feel comfortable.

Start by walking, trotting, then cantering over ground poles. Raise them little by little when you feel confident and comfortable enough. For your first "jump" (low), I suggest getting off the horse and … Read more

At a gallop, the fastest of all gaits, an average horse can run about 25 to 30 miles per hour. However, many factors depend on the speed of the horse.

Actually, if the horse's ears are slanted back or slightly slanted (pointing back), it could mean that it is tired, ill, listening, or content.

If the horse's ears are pinned (resting flat against the neck), it could mean that it is angry or fearful.

However, you cannot tell how a horse feels just by its ears. There … Read more

It depends on where you live. Where I live, you need at least one acre per horse. I am planning to move soon, and the place I am looking to move only needs 1/2 acre per horse. In my opinion, 1/2 acre is a little small.

I'm currently boarding my horse at a family stable. They … Read more
