I agree that the person is totally unrealistic with her desire of an 
almost  free almost perfect kid safe horse. "To  Dream the Impossible

But, that person is easy to ignore. The irritant to me is when that 
person shows up at my place and wastes my time.
That is when I feel a funny growl in my tummy.
