Compaired to the rest of the TAN crowd.  I'm the one that always says "never did that before"...

I have plenty of items on the bucket list!

I had a horse for 23 years. This week is 2 years since I had to put him down. Part of my insomnia has been due to melancholy about that part of my life being gone.

Out of the clear blue as we're driving for coffee, my son draws a picture of a horse and starts telling my daughter about how soft Dust was and how she would like him too "except he died".

How do kids do it? Like a special sense.

What pray tell is in Dragoon on Thursday?

A guy two cubes down is walking a tech through a module software update and I know what he is saying but I still laugh at his words

"No no no. You have to force it in, have you forced it in yet? No, ok force it in"

They do have that spidey sense don't they

I am sorry about the horse, it is truely a special relationship between horse and rider.  Miko one of my mother's horses really saved her life after my brother died.  He will not be with us much longer I am certain and it is a sad prospect.

People in general and children in particular about their parents pick up on a physical context.  Even if you never spoke about it, you may have had the same sighing and displaying the same sadness that last happened when the horse died.  The child associates the event with that emotions that you are displaying.  It is communication through emotion and is more fundamental than verbal communication.  Dogs for sure sense emotions even though they cannot speak.

Any of the parents ever catch yourself watching a kids show than you realize you kids have been out of the room for a while and it's really just you watching the show?

Awwww, that's sad to hear - Sorry to hear that.  I didn't know they lived that long.
