@susandenise, I'm sure you're not the only person who can be confused about the notifications and how they work. You're question gave me the opportunity to explain not only to you but to recent newcomers to the group and even long time members who may be surprised by the sudden increase in volume of emails.

Barn chores must keep you active, whether your body likes it or not, I assume, especially if you're dealing with animals. They must be fed, right? How do you manage on days like today when the pain and fatigue want to get the better of you? Do you take more breaks? Rely more on help?
