Recipe for Homemade dog food: Homemade dog food

Say, John - I'm from NY so the term "guys" is the equivalent of "y'all" to me. And if you think that statement is a "clubbing into submission" then I'd say you need to get a thicker skin. It seems to me that it's somehow wrong to throw out insults and then cry. "Foul!" when a response comes back. So - since Waysider is a guy and he agreed with me and Rascal - you'd consider him "clubbed?" I'd say that speaks volumes. Is is weak to agree with a woman? Does it empower her more than she deserves? I don't believe that's what you were going for - so I'm going to chalk that one up to being a word misspoken. See....? I can play nice.

Rhino......Why whatever do you mean? (blink blink) I don't go bear hunting.....I do like having fun...

Is there really a "winner" or "loser' in a thread like this? I've never really considered that the goal of any of these threads. That makes the subject of "teams" moot. People all had their own experiences. In my opinion, it's not for me to say that what they claim did or didn't happen - unless I have specific knowlege. Otherwise, I need to be respectful and listen and allow the other person to speak about what happened to them. Then I can judge my response. Then I can form an opinion. Then I can learn from that person.

This would be fun if we could all just have a big party, dance and celebrate in general. I'm making leg of lamb and relaxing with the kids with a glass of wine in my hand. My favorite thing to do.

Two hunters are out in the woods on a hunting expedition. They spy a bear and take aim. Both men miss and the bear pursues them for a long time. One hunter escaped and swore off hunting because that was just too dang close for comfort. The bear caught up with the second hunter - Carl: The bear stops and says, "Hey! You shot at me! The way I see it you have a choice between two things. Either I maim and kill you now and feed on your carcass for a while, OR you lean up against the tree stump over there and let me have my way with you." Carl considers this and decides that as unpleasant as this is, he'd rather live to hunt another day. So, he does as the bear instructed him and lets the bear "do" him. Afterwards, Carl starts to become enraged over the events of that day. He determines that he is going to kill this bear and get some sense of dignity back. The next week he goes to the same spot and goes bear hunting. He spies the bear, shoots and misses. The bear walks up to him and just points to the stump. Now Carl is fuming. Next week, the same thing. The bear says, "Assume the position, Carl." Carl is now so angry he just can't stand it. Another week passes. This time Carl is determined to get that dang bear. Once again he takes aim. Once again he misses. The bear walks up to him and says, "You're not coming here for the hunting, are you Carl?"

I made my own cat food for years. The cats were extremely healthy and disease free and lived to be 16 and 17 years old. The price was comparable to Science Diet and it took me about two hours once a month. I had to stop when the kids got older - because time became a bigger premium - but I just might start again. If anyone wants that recipe (and the recipe for an amazing vitamin mix that is good for both dogs and cats) I'll be happy to post them. There was a recipe for homemade dog food in a book by Dr. Pitcairn - it seemed to be reasonable.

That was my first year in rez. I ended up graduating with the 11th - so we may have ended up knowing each other.... That survival thing - YIKES! Br*tt L*nn got usl all prepared - and it was skeery! I didn't hear any rumbles of any WOW's committing murder. (and some rumors did get through the cracks on occasion.)

Now that gives me an idea: If Rosie O'D met Rosie the Fox They wouldn't be discussing all the jocks. Perhaps Ms O'Donnell would change the locks So as to avoid the Ohio pox. While the TV woman would be interested in blocks Donna's woman would talk about all past Rocks.

Funny - I never took your words to mean anything the way you expected them to be interpreted. Emotionally out of control - First emotions are a part of the human condition. We have them. They should not rule our lives - but everyone lets their emotions get the best of them from time to time. I'll submit that constantly controlling ( as in supressing) one's emotions is just as bad as not controlling them at all. BTW - I don't see emotionally out of control women here in this thread. I do see women allowing themselves to work through their emotions on some painfull subjects. IMHO - that 's healthy. And Yes, I've seen emotions out of control in both genders - sometimes it's a good thing - other times not. The sugar and spice/ snaps, snails contrast. Hmmmmmm - I never put much weight in that poem - what it meant to me is that boys liked to play with gross ( in reality COOL!) stuff more while some of the girls liked tea parties, and frills. ( Although I was always right there with the boys catching frogs and bugs.) Sticks and stones.... YOU read that as a male/ female commentary???!!! When my Mom taught it to me she was trying to teach me how to just shrug off words. It's true that words do a lot of damage ( witness the last comment in your post regarding how your mother misquoted that sentence.) but - I was taught that you walk away from words instead of using your fists. Here is what i did find on that quote - FYI: While many attribute the quote to William Shakespeare, it actually comes from a play called the "The Mourning Bride" (1697) by William Congreve. The complete quote is "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned / Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned." (http://ask.yahoo.com/20051108.html) I'm a sucker for context..

Kathy, The only proper place for a sexual predator to interact with any victim - his own or another - is in the relative safety of a professional's office. I say this completely unhardened. I have gotten slammed in the past for wanting to offer forgiveness when it wasn't asked for. I have said more than once that I see forgiveness in two different "slots." There is the forgiveness that comes from God and the forgiveness that comes from the person wronged. I never meant to imply that any one in particular was validating Anothen - simply that the mere discussion of this has a validating effect. He hasn't posted in days - yet here we are discussing all this. Imagine him sitting back and "watching the show." so to speak. BTW - has anyone considered that there have been at least three new posters recently that have started threads, caused some flurry, and then never returned? Frankly, unless I have met this person face to face, seen the whites of their eyes, then I have no idea if this person is real or not. I have no idea if the story is real or not. Just suppose we there are some here "forgiving" for something they didn't really do. Suppose the real offense is the banter and angst that is being caused here. Forgive? Sure. Trust? Earn it, Buddy! It isn't being hardened to protect one's heart. Wise as serpents and harmless as doves, is my motto. I'll be kind and listen - from over here where I can't be cornered, Thank you very much. If you do corner me or one of mine - I'm striking! Now, do what you need to do for you and your heart. I would like to not see this emotion dragged up unless real healing can be accomplished. I'll stay away from this thread for a while - at least no more posting unless a red flag presents itself. All I can say is that my radar has been activated and the sirens are going off.

Ask anyone who has endured a sexual predator - they will tell you that a story like Anothen's drags up their own past and experiences. I'm saying that this post smells of yet another attack - this one more subtle because it feeds on painful memories. THAT is wrong! A person truly seeking forgiveness will most like find it. The second half of your post answers my first statement. Why post here for forgiveness??? I wasn't implying that he needed to seek forgiveness here - I was only speaking to his desire for forgiveness. Ask yourself....why come HERE to find forgiveness?? I wasn't that nine year old girl - were you? (speaking to the crowd here) I'm not God - are you? The answers to those two questions should make it clear that this discussion doesn't belong here. I'm more likely to say that the warm fuzzies that come every now and then are validation - and I'll have no part of it. I will not be pursuaded to the contrary. With all due respect Kathy, neither you nor I are qualified to render aid to this person. It's not being hardened to keep yourself safe.

One Ohio night that was dull and dreary, As I pondered weak and weary, I came upon a tent with a muddy floor. I sat and listened to the droning, Wondered what was all the groaning, Coming from behind a door. I followed the sound, behold the Fox Was scheming how to control the flocks Kept on saying, "I want to score." When she was asked to explain, She said, "I want more than a plane." Then one word: "Evermore." The night grew darker, the shadows longer, Her evil voice it grew much stonger. Another drink she did pour. She lusted after ole Loy's wife, She didn't care about the strife One word she uttered, "Evermore." D*nna was the object of her affection. Her voice would always change inflection. Her name she would say, and nothing more. Now she runs the Cornfield Cult. Her sweetie's ex is a dolt. She wants this to go on, "Evermore." Oh! That she would say this and nothing more......

Frankly - It all depends on the feel of the fabric......

I'm going to weigh in here and be gone. IMHO there is something here that just doesn't feel right. I dont know if the word I'm about to use is quite right - it may be too harsh. There is a voyeuristic tone to this thread. What is the solution for a person that is truly repentant? I wouldn't start with a thread in the Open Forum. You want forgiveness? Fine. If you want validation - go somewhere else. Let me clarify - I'm have no grievance with those that are victims. Nor do I have anything to say about posters that are putting things in perspective. My beef, as it were, is with Anothen. I'm just leery about the motivation behind the thread.

I for one do not agree that forgiveness MUST include forgetting. Forgetting would mean that trust would be re-instated again. I firmly believe that trust must be built one action at a time.

Are they Baling??

Good looking kid - with or without the braces! You know Ron, now it'll be easier for him to kiss girls..... ;)

Perhaps Jean is talking about God when she refers to only ONE and HE. May I submit that God doesn't need to talk if there are others talking. And if they were there, they have the authority to speak. Now Jean I realize that you doubt whether or not these folks were there. (At least I think that's what you've been saying.) If VPW were alive and he were guilty - do you really think he would admit to these wrongs? I've never heard of a sexual predator admitting to his acts. I realize that you want to remain non-judgmental. I'm not so sure that means that reason doesn't apply. IMHO - it is not "judgmental" to call a thief a thief. Now, saying that he can't change - that may be judgmental. In this case though, VPW can't change because he's dead. Many of his followers and supporters can change.

The good news is that Firefox won't get stuck on those pix....

Ed Wood Now please delete those pics - my browser gets all bogged down with them....

I don't need you to agree with me. I don't need you to say I'm right. I asked you to consider and you said you would - 'nuff said.

You're correct the first photo was an eye with the iris having an american flag pattern on it "American eye"

Jean - I was just letting you know. I may have misread - but that last statement came across as sarcastic. Was it meant to be? I think I've been fairly calm and even toned in all of this. I will tell you that that paper was used to figure out which women had a better chance of being manipulated sexually. I'm glad you didn't have to write that paper. I'm glad you didn't go through a lot of what has been described.

The Corps were all required to write a paper "The Way for Me - From Birth to the Corps"
