I love to eat meat and have no guilt regarding it at all. I also respect someone that choses not to. I think certain animals were given to us by God for substances. Some would call me an animal. I think some of this anger comes from personal believes perhaps. Mixed in with the fact some like myself feel it is possible to worship the creation over the creator. Just my thoughts.

My input. To repeat we had two Pit Bulls and the boy started to show signs of getting mean so we gave him to someone that lived in the sticks outside Tampa Bay and he lived happily every after because he had acreage to run and it apparently tamed him from being like a caged creature which we think would have happened had we tried to turn him into a pet. His sister on the other hand was the most peaceful sweet animal I've ever had and I've had dogs my whole life. I could go on and on about her but I won't. I worked with a woman that had a dog save her life because she was trapped inside a building for 5 days after an earthquake and the only reason she was saved was because a dog heard her cries and was able to communicate to his owner who pursued once again an area of the building that they had determined was clear. This woman was so grateful to this dog that she became obsessive about animals and in fact told me face to face one day that if a dog and a child were drowning she would save the dog. I told her that was unhealthy thinking but I could understand her due to the trauma of being buried alive (she survived by cutting her arms with a pairing knife she just happen to be holding when the quake came and sucking her blood for nourishment) and I couldn't fault her for her devotion to animals but it was still not normal and healthy in response. She didn't care for my words but she remained a friend of a sort through out the job we were on because deep inside I think she knew I was right. I haven't seen Dot as I did this woman. The context of the thread was the abuse of animals by humans and I hadn't read into it as Dot's preference to animals over people. Also we never know the comfort an animal can bring to us unlike a human. Because they have no ulterior motives and their memory span is incredibly short when it comes to their masters of whom they love. Discipline them one minute and the next they lick and adore you. Not so with people.

Thank you David. That was very sweet. You could change my mind about the top of the page. (excuse what I typed prior, I didn't mean to post it, it was my thoughts out loud)

In my room.....far farming out song.....oh yeah! And Don't Worry Baby.....oh yeah on that one also. Sweet! I'm making some sounds I call surf music with my sudo lap guitar now. When we move to Florida and my dad comes to visit he is going to show me some tips on lap/steel playing. He has done so since I was a pup. Real sweet sounds he can make.

I feel like surfing now? I love it socksman, simply love it! And I apologize cause I got carried away going to heck in a hand basket somewhere else around here and forgot to come back. This one goes in my library...uh huh!!!!! Oh poop on a stick. But David if you weren't right. :unsure: This just ain't right.

Can we get an air conditioned hand basket perhaps. And what about snacks. We need snacks. And I hope they don't have a dang top of the page there.

To heck we all go in a hand basket. What does "in a hand basket" mean anyway I wonder. :unsure:

I just received this from a friend that has chocolate skin and served time in prison for killing her abuser and I thought it was worth a laugh or curse one: A guy walks into the local welfare office, marches straight up to the counter and says, "Hi... You know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job." The social worker behind the counter says, "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful nymphomaniac daughter. You'll have to drive around in his Mercedes, but he'll supply all of your clothes. And because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll also be expected to escort her on her overseas holiday trips. You will have to satisfy all her sexual urges. And you'll be provided a two-bedroom apartment above the garage. The starting salary is $200,000 a year." The guy, wide-eyed, says, "You're bulls*%in' me!" The social worker says, "Yeah, well... you started it."

Yours are safe dude!

Ala, I trust you are feeling better today. :) Socksman, I can't get that to come up here at the office for some reason so will listen tonight.

However I am prepared to go anywhere it's necessary and make a few men sing a higher note....but that's 'tacks....

peace...love...dove

Oh goodness no way have you offended me. I have enjoyed the heck out of it. I was just razzing you dude. The other stuff I mentioned is just life here at the office.

I'm going to get you! I've had an interesting morning retrieving calls and opening mail at work. From a man calling me horrible things and hanging up to a hand written letter from a judge in KY for how well I handled her. (they don't know I can't spell worth a crap either) :unsure:

Now you wouldn't be mocking my spelling ability would you dude! top of the page

YMMV=your miles may vary

I'm a normal person. I miss Song. I can write and spell better now. (I just had a blast reading this whole thing again...thanks David)

Wished I could help but not in that area.

Thanks for the update. He's quite a man.

BB King has to live much longer. He simply has to!

Socksman..... Excie.....way cool to see you here....way cool....not twi (the way) way either.....

Oh my.

How sad this news. I can't do better than what has been said already but he was a wonderfully fair man that came to my rescue in 'tacks more than once and I can only imagine the loss you feel right now. I will pray for your peace of heart and for the sweet memories you must have to carry you through this loss. :(

Has she been here and I missed it? Happy Birthday girl!

It's all in the pronunciation.
