Thanks, Bob.  Those are two traits I aspire to be!  

It was also
"Civil" engineers that made me swear off of being a field geologist.
I think they were jealous that they couldn't spend their days with
the salty drillers and be uncouth and get away with it. They would
sit in the office, repressing all their angst until I come into the
office.  Then I was fair game since I was the only woman professional
in the office at the time!  They figured out they couldn't pinch me
like they could the office staff and it bugged the *____* out of them.

Hey, on a horse it doesn't matter, does it! That's the wonderful thing
about endurance riding - it's a totally equal opportunity sport!

Now we know the real reason! EE's are known to be irrational and
shocking to
say the least. To bad you are not Civil like me.

Which is a REAL interesting point.  I have used two woman farriers that
I
think were very nice and somewhat competent.  They just were never
available
at the right time for me and I found the farrier that I could work with.
Never had a disagreement with either of them, but most of the other male
farriers I worked with were grumpy and took things sooo personally.
(After
all, why should a woman have brains and question their
authority?.......)

Yes, I know, there are a thousands of exceptions to every rule and there
are
wonderful farriers of either sex and grumpy farriers of either sex.  I
just
felt like dishing it out.

Okay Salim - flame on.  I know you're out to get me.  I'm just soooo
paranoid. (ha!)   I would really like to meet you in person and then we
could give each other a hard time face to face.  I would enjoy that a
lot
better. It is much more fun to argue with a smile and agree to disagree.

I just find it real amusing that you would bring this up!  Bob Morris -
ya
gonna join the flame war?  I've just spent the day being a woman in an
electrical engineering office.  I'm game to take on anyone now that I
just
got warmed up.

(Except maybe Tom Ivers, I'm scared of HIM!)

Okay - so much for my emotional outburst for the day, folks. That
"hot-button" has now been desensitized. I need to ride my horse - after
all
this is Ridecamp - not Gloria Steinem's website.  You can hit the DELETE
button now!

K.

P.S.  I stuck a sappy "pat on the back" note to my farrier in with the
check
and called him after my first endurance ride this year raving about his
shoeing job.  I'm hoping a little honey will go a long way in keeping a
good
relationship with him.

This is a farrier that I want to keep for a long time.  I just hope that
he
doesn't get crusty as he gets older and more experienced!  I guess being
a
farrier can turn a man sour....

Works just as well on women ...
