it's me tcat

Happy birthday dear Radar!! Hope your day was wonderful and that you ate lots of birthday cake! Love, tcat

For the most part I like most dogs. My favorite are labs, we've had around all 21 years of our married life. The present one is a black one named Isobella, named by the kidlet while she was learning about Christopher Columbus. We also have a Yorkshire terrier, Maggie, my first and last small dog. She is funny because she bosses the lab and our 3 cats around. I love her but she barks way too much for me. As Maggie is getting up in years and starting to have big time arthritis in her back, we are starting to have to think about putting her to sleep. :( We will cry for her and miss her. When we next get a dog I would like a Great Dane. I have always wanted one and would like to get one before I am too old to handle it! The only dog that I am unsure about are pit bulls and only because people are inbreeding them way too much. And here in Texas (I think they are the Texas state dog) almost every week somebody gets bitten, owner included. I don't so much blame the dogs they are bred for fighting. But I do blame the owners for not thinking about what the breed is for and for not checking the breeding, and for not teaching them obedience. I guess I bring this up because about a year ago an elderly lady was mowing her yard on a riding mower and her neighbor's 2 pits pulled her off the mower and killed her. The trial was just this last month. The pit bull's owner was held accountable and owes the lady's family quite a bit of money now. There are also new laws about if you own a dangerous dog you must keep it restrained where it cannot hurt anyone. The 2 pits were kept in a chain link fence and climbed over. Was too awful to hear about.

Great pics Ron, reminds me of when I lived in the Ozarks. Really miss the place sometimes. And didn't your son get that gun from Texas?!?!? Looks like the one they issue with your birth certificate here.

Hey MO! Glad you sound good!

And last but not least, happy birthday my dear friend. I'm so glad you were born! Love, tcat

Hope ya'll had a happy anniversary!

Sorry it's late but happy birthday! And Danny wants to know if you'd like to go check the tires?

I used to love spring. But that was back when I lived some place where it exsisted. Here spring might last a whole week before the temps jump up into the 80's, shortly followed by the 90's, then the 100's. So please forgive me for being the person that wants "winter" to linger. Winter here means temps in the 50's.

Yep I am one of those who left for awhile. I had too much going on in my life to be here. I did come and catch up every now and then. And now I am back Bwahahaha! I was never much of a poster and still am not. But folks here are my friends, even if they don't know me I feel as if I know them. :)

Ratz! Cloudy as usual. But one year we just sat in our backyard, in the city yet and saw 146. It was great!

Thanks for this. The courage in the heart of a man or woman or boy or girl is truely an amazing thing. It always leaves me in awe and make me want to do better in my life.

I'ts so good to hear about your father! As a nurse I have seen things that seem hopeless turn into miracles time and time again. So I feel gladness for you and your family!

This is a cool site. And as I have no life I donated 17000 grains of rice.

NO! NO! NO! MAKE IT STOP! I hear the sound of jingle bells getting closer and closer... :blink:
