Silver Lining

The goverment has finally devised the ultimate plan to suck up all our $$ into a superficial economy, while really using this $$ for evil purposes. Not hard to believe. What IS hard to believe is that they are doing it in the form of giant, disguised, $$ sucking vacums! This is 100% TRUE. I have PROOF. *runs arround with insane look on face*

First, they insert little microchips into little girls, infecting them with an irresistable obsession with “horses.” They beg until you get them lessons ($cha-ching$). Then, they want to flaunt their new-found skills in shows. You enter them in classes ($cha-ching$). Then, they want their OWN horse. Dad caves in ($cha-ching$). You buy the “horse.” You buy it tack. Your “horse” gets a sore back. You have a saddle fitter out ($cha-ching$) who tells you that you need new tack. Your daughter wants her tack to be edged in PINK but there is no pink tack available that will fit both her and the “horse.” You have to custom order ($cha-ching$). The “horse” goes lame in one foot. You have the vet out to take a look ($cha-ching$). The vet tells you that the horse merely has a stone in its hoof, removed it, and then tells you that your daughter should have been more carefull with her horse on rocky terrain. You ground your daughter for carelessness, so she can’t ride for a week. However, the “horse” must be ridden. You pay someone else to ride the “horse” for a week ($cha-ching$). Your daughter is back. She is now good enough to be in the next level of shows, which requre formal atire. You buy the velvet covered helmet, white gloves, creme breaches, black hunt coat, and black dressage boots required. ($cha-ching$)($cha-ching$)($cha-ching$)($cha-ching$). You credit card is smoking. Your “horse” goes lame and you are informed that he can’t handle this level of eventing. You need to upgrade to a better, more expensive “horse.” ($cha-ching$). ($cha-ching$)

 Guessed the vacume yet? And this isn’t even HALF of the expenses of owning a “horse.” The government is tricky. Together, we must come with a plan to thwart it! Suggestions, anyone? Meanwhile, I’m off to give bute (a drug) to my own “horse” because shes lame in her front left foot…
