Problems with computers and horses
Hello,
I use the computer a lot. I have
Facebook friends. Lois of them. But I
also delete many of them if they say
something that upsets me earlY in the
morning. I'm sensitive you know. So
many times, Shirley will holler from
the living room, "What are you
doing?" And I can tell her I am un-
friending friends.
I write my article on a computer
every Monday morning. I do some
banking via computer. And I occa-
sionally order something over the
computer. A left-handed rope for ex-
ample. Stuff I can't find locally. I
check the weather and radar often on a
Website. I check my bank account so I
am sure just how much I am over-
drawn on any given day.
So, on this Monday morning, as I
sit down, right up against the deadline
to submit this weeks article, I am con-
fident that the article will be done in
time.
But, on this particular morning,
Microsoft has decided I need to type
in the password to get to my e-mail.
Like someone would like to see the
junk mail I have'accumulated the past
several years. After several attempts,
it has locked me out for typing in the
wrong password. I have tried every
password that I ever used anywhere. I
even tried some that I know could re-
sult in prison time for me if anyone
reads them at the other end. Still, it
will not recognize that I am the real
Dean Meyer. Or deanmeyer. Or
Dmeyer. Or deanMeyer. Again I say it.
(Swear word!)
It's kind of like when I was
younger. And oftentimes rode a horse
that I was kind of scared of when it
was a little frosty. Well, more than a
little. Damned scared!
Fraser was that kind of horse. Dad
had purchased this nice three-year-old
colt out in Montana. Fraser, Montana
to be exact. At a ranch auction. He was
a big, leggy palomino colt that just
floated around a pen. I spent a lot of
time on him and was dang proud of
this colt. Broke with a bosal and he
had as light a mouth as I had ever felt.
I could lope him across a pen, pick up
the reins and he would slide to a stop.
To be honest, he was a better horse
than I was a horseman. He learned in
spite of me, not because of me.
But once in awhile, if there was a
little chill in the air, he was pretty
humpy in the morning. And if I didn't
eas% him around for a bit, he would
darn sure try to find out how I was
feeling that morning.
One morning Hal, Dennis, and I
were leaving early to gather cattle. It
was. a fall morning and pretty nippy. I
thought I would take the kinks out of
Fraser at home. So I stepped on and
was easing around the pen, with knots
in my stomach, and my heart stuck in
my throat. My mouth was too dry to
spit and my fingers hurt from gripping
the horn so tight.
He was just starting to loosen up
when all of sudden he let out a beller
and blew up! I was grabbing for the "
horn. I was reaching for saddle strings
or saddle horn or anything else I could
grab. I think I even bit a little off of his
mane. And I got him rode. Which did-
n't happen often when he threw a fit.
It wasn't until weeks later that Hal
admitted that he had thrown a halter
under his hind legs because "I really
like to watch him buck!"
A week later I put a small rat-
tlesnake under the bedspread in Hal's
bed. I really like to see a man snakebit.
What this has to do with comput-
ers is beyond me. Maybe you can fig-
ure it out. Hopefully, you get the
article.
Later, Dean
Take these lessons along to college
As I walked around a department
store perusing some items on my son's
college dorm room supply list, I
thought back to my college years. I
dould fit everything I needed for my
college dorm, plus my bike, in the back
of the small hatchback car I drove dur-
ing college.
Although my son's dorm room list
was fairly generic (sheets, towels, etc.),
the choices at the store were abundant
and wide-ranging in price and quality.
When ! was my son's age, I am
fairly sure that the colors of my towels
and washcloths did not "coordinate"
with the color of my bedspread. I had
no decorative decals to adorn the walls.
I used a plastic ice cream bucket to
carry my stuff to the community bath-
room, not a fancy tote.
When' high school graduates leave
home for further education or a job,
they get their long-awaited freedom
from parents and family rules. They are
free to set up and maintain their limited
living space as they prefer, often in col-
laboration with a roommate.
They are on their own to get upin
the morning, eat, do their homework,
arrive at part-time jobs on time and at-
tend to all their other responsibilities.•
Then there's the all-important social
life; We, as parents, hope that some of
the lessons we have tried to instill along
their path to adulthood "stick."
College brings new responsibilities,
opportunities to learn and grow as
young adults, plus many temptations
ulie Garden-
Food & Nutrition Specialist )
and some risks. Here are a few tips
about staying healthy for young adults,
most of which also apply to the rest of
us who aren't so young anymore. These
are adapted f'/'om tips from the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention.
• Have a medical checkup and be
sure your vaccinations are up to date.
Be aware of your family history and let
your health-care provider know. If you
know you might be at risk for diabetes,
cancer or heart disease, prevention
steps, such as a healthful diet and activ-
ity, should begin when you are young. ,
Know the campus health resources.
• Get your sleep. Yes, it's tempting
to stay up all night with your buddies in
the dorm or"pull an all-nighter" to pre-
pare for an exam. However, we all need
plenty of sleep (about eight hours) to
avoid beiiig idggishl and having diffi-
culty oncentrating. In the long term,
too little sleep is linked with obesity,
heart disease, diabetes and depression.
Be sure to limit caffeine and stick with
a sleep schedule, even on weekends.
• Get some exercise. Fitness experts
recommend, on average, about 2.5
hours of physical actiyity,per week, or
about 30 minutes of moderate physical
activity on five or more days of the
week. Exercise helps, reduce stress and
promotes the maintenance of a healthy
weight. For fun and health, college stn-
dent can join an intramural sports team
.or find an exercise buddy to visit the
gym.
• Eat a healthful diet. Campus cup
sine features ample buffet lines and
vending machines. The wide array of
foods can promote the overconsump-
tion of calories, and potentially, a
weight gain of 15 pounds ("the fresh-
man 15"). However, be sure to get up
early enough to eat some breakfast.
Your brain needs fuel, and a protein-
containing breakfast will help you feel
full longer and can help with weight
maintenance. In addition, eating disor-
ders also can become an issue during
college years, so be aware of campus
counseling resources.
• Avoid substance abuse. According
to the CDC, about 80 percent of college
students drink alcohol, which is not
only illegal if you are under the age of
21, but it also is linked with many other
risky behaviors, including smoking.
Cigarette smoking can have lifelong
health consequences, including cancer
and respiratory problems.
I could go on and on, as my son well
knows, but I will stop with those tips for
now. Although my firstborn is moving
out of our home, his dorm is only a
block from my office. I'm not sure he
realizes our proximity; maybe he will
visit me once in a while. I have a lot
more advice for him that is available
upon request.
