The folks doing the trip are mutual friends, so I feel almost obligated to ask H if he would like to go. My opinion though is that he won't go, hunting starts next weekend and I heard him tell someone about that, it sounded like they were getting together that weekend. And, it's last minute for him and he'd have to do lots of rescheduling with his appointments, not impossible, but another challenge for him. Plus, in the last 13 months he was off for 6 months due to his injury, and then slowly building back up, then off for a week for a trip, then another week for his hunting trip, plus the days he doesn't work I don't know about........ he should just stay home and work his butt to the ground and make some $$$! Not that that's held him back from anything else he wanted though.
Opti - You've got me beat by 1/2". I haven't measured heigth for quite some time though. I still like 'em short and stocky, but that doesn't give you much time to pray on the way down! Wait, you were talking horses and not men weren't you? Now as for men, I like a little different style than horses.
Speaking of styles, here's a question. I'm tall and proportionate, but still carry more weight than 'the charts' recommend. I could lose another chunk and it would be good for me. Last year I lost a lot, and H actually did notice and complimented me. To be blunt, can a guy love a lady that is overweight and has some fat rolls? Is he embarrassed to be with me? Can he be too vain and tired of excess baggage physically and emotionally?
