Don't remember how we got the Magpie. But we took in a baby Magpie and raised it. It was the best pet we ever had. It ruled the nearby paddocks. It had a habbit of sheltering in the Dog kennels and sharing their meals. Will one day one of the dogs took offence and Maggie lost a leg. We nursed Maggie over that ordeal. And after awhile he was ruling the Paddocks again and Sharing Dog Kennels except for one dog who had taken a dislike to Maggie. Oh the heated exchanges they used to have. The cats never touched Maggie; Or Should I say they were never successful. The Magpie became a great mimic. Especially dog Barks. But He could mimic voices as well. Swear with the best. When we moved to town we bought Maggie with us because he depended on us for food and he was a family pet. At first we caged him in a rabbit hutch. But after a while we let him out. He adapted to town life quickly. The best damn Guarddog we ever had. You didn't enter our Property with out us being home as Maggie attacked Barking like crazy.
Imagine this Black and White bird hopping and gliding along Not much bigger than a large rat coming at you as fast as it can barking like mad.
Well it was funny to us and those who knew us. That beak hurt I tell you. For we generally caged him up at nights and he didn't like that idea much. I think that is why we lost him. I think he got too aggressive / protective and we got some complaints from the council. But he was an awesome pet.
We all have a conscience. Lets not pretend otherwise.
It is just buried deeper on some than others. And some are triggered differently.
For example they have have no compunction of brutally murdering someone because they thought they were helping them. But would fight the world for a little bunny with babies.
Insane by most standards but he still has a conscience (Or code of ethics that they guide themselves by)
Lets go trekky for a sec. A Klingon has a different conscience to us humans for example.
And i go with the majority. Touch and caress are what lets you know you are still cared about.
With all the stress and two working parents it is hard to get intimate loving time together. Cuddling watching TV, Holding hands Shopping, A peck Goodbye or Hello are what lets each other know and outsiders know that you are a couple and care for each other.
The long answer is far more indepth and has many background factors.
But those that seem to have no remorse have learnt to hide themselves deep deep inside. Trying to get true and balanced reactions out of them will be extremely difficult. And if you wish to push that hard I suggest you wear body armour.
As from a previous thread. Commonsense has passed on. Been murdered by Health and Safety.
Manners and Courtesy aren't far behind it being destroyed by Political Correctness.
I agree with you. There is no point about bandying words about. 90% of the time you are preaching to a closed mind and just pissing yourself off.
Its like me listening to talk back radio. It really jerks my chain. Before i know it I'm ranting to an empty room about some idiot who doesn't know I exist because he said something i disagree with on the radio. I hate talk back radio it always makes me look stupid.
If i'm in charge of the station i quickly flick it to music.
You know the ones i really hate are the ones that start off with "Hi Long time listener first time caller" Its like they want some big medal to pin on their chest.
At anyrate your post was well written and I completely agree. Too often we watch a thread spin out of control. Even caused it to happen a couple of times. My Bad. I wish we could have an auto sensor that would cause us to freeze until we got our thought process's back on an even keel
About 4 months ago. Would of and tried got mixed messages. So left it in her court. Nothing. Realised though that I wasn't ready for dating scene yet. Still putting the past to rest.
Did you notice what those ladies looked like who wear the dolmio grin. I wouldn't want to see any of them in Playboy never the less People magazine for many many years yet.
I regret the passing of Comics. They are just too damn expensive to be viable. I miss Hot stuff, Mickey and Donald, Lil Dot the whole Hanna Barberra crew. But mostly i miss Casper and Wendy the good lil witch and Archie and the gang.
I want to Change how i play Golf. It would be nice to actually walk off the course just once and be able to say I played golf. Not i hit the stupid white ball lots and lots of times.
Yes Lovely long legs set off perfectly with those sleek long boots and a lovely short skirt. If I only knew where to look that wasn't going to get me slapped stupid.
I think that is suppose to be a Nano Nap. Its hip and trendy and doesn't make you sound old like a Nana nap.
Thats Something old People do in the chair and then wonder why they get wet patches on there shirt from the saliva that has leaked out of their mouths while napping in the sitting position.
A Nano nap recharges the Batteries. A Nana nap is something you do when your too bored and lazy to do anything else.
Yep I think i understand HY. I hate that splashback as well.
Also (and this is the problem of having an overactive imagination and too much movie watching) The fact that your sitting there in a very vulnerable position with your pants around your Knees or ankles you can't move very fast. And a spider or Cockroach from underneath the seat or something coming up through the pipes. You can't escape quickly can you.
Your not going to know though. Your attention is fully on your movement. Or the fact that the door has no lock on it. (Nothing worse than someone disturbing you in mid movement) You no like "yes dear, scones would be nice for lunch". Or "hold on son Daddy's just in the middle of something" with this look of strain on your face and the gas rising up and permeating the air
So who is going to notice the attack on your vulnerable butt.
The Pies are our local Rugby team. And this year they have caused quite a stir. This the second year of the new revamped NPC Competition and we are in the top four and look good at retaining that position for the last couple of games.
We have caused some major upsets.
Not bad for a team that hasn't seen 1st division Rugby for over 15 years. Thats Professionalism for you.
Yep found the needle but am now stumped. How do I make the spider stand still so I can take a sample without hurting him/her. Its not like i can say now hold still this won't hurt a bit. And they really scamper when you get close.
Then I had one that jumped. Nearly had a messy accident. Plus almost stabbing my foot.
