A little Dutch proverb concerning your presents: "You can't look a given horse into it's mouth." It means something like, don't whine about your presents <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I think that saying goes, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth." And that's exactly what it means. Don't complain about your presents. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Thanks, Salty. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> I'm at middle age if you go by what they used to live to before the advent of the car (at least 40), and over the hill if you go by today (often less than 30). <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

How come everybody seems to think I hate what I got? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> I put up a link to the picture of the statue because I really like it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

As it turns out, I got another statue from the same company - this one came from my Dad's side of the family. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> It's called "Equus Onyx": <a href="http://www.mtrushmorenationalmemorial.com/shop/equus-onyx-friesian-horse-statue-0s-0c-258i.html" target="_blank">http://www.mtrushmorenationalmemorial.com/...0s-0c-258i.html</a> . It's also a pre-2009 casting, so this one is also a little over 19 inches tall.

Well I hope the younger ones aren't on PA. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

That is pretty wild. Makes you wonder what else is being hid from you until you reach the right age. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" />

You mean like maybe you're adopted, or something? I've seen stuff like that on the news. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

 

[morgan terror]
