Thank you, these are the thoughts I'm looking for. As far as Pets Vs. Fetus Places like planned parenthood preach abstinance, use of birth control (ost give it away), and adoptions, but have other alternatives. What I meant was I've seen people the same people with flyers for spay/ neuter as holding picket signs against giving teenagers birth control.
I've noticed that the prolifers are evenly ranged for and against the war, but your point remains. Just remember that at the moment every American soldier is still a volunteer. not only that, but if we were allowed to fight the war the way our enemies fight it, we'd have won years ago. {But that's another thread!}
I do appreciate the input and it gives me more to think on. I wish EVERYONE the very best this holiday season.
The angel Gabriel came to the Lord and said "I have to talk to you. We have some Texans up here in heaven that are causing problems. "They put a cattle guard under the pearly gatesm,y horn is missing, but they left a guitar, they are wearing Wranglers and Luccesse instead of their white robes, their driving one-ton 4x4s instead of the chariots, and they're roping each other's halos. "They refuse to keep the stairway to Heaven clear, since they keep crouching down midway eating sunflower seeds, spitting their dip over the side and smoking Marlboros. "And all of them are saying that it was better back in Texas when they were alive!"
The Lord said, "Texans are Texans. Heaven is home to all my children. If you want to know about real problems, call the Devil."
***
The Devil answered the phone, "Hello? Damn, hold on a minute." The Devil returned to the phone, "OK I'm back. What can I do for you?"
Gabriel replied, "I just wanted to know what kind of problems you're having down there."
The Devil said, "Hold on again. I need to check on something." After about 5 minutes the Devil returned to the phone and said, "I'm back. Now what was the question?"
Gabriel said, "What kind of problems are you having down there?"
The Devil said, "Man I don't believe this.......Hold on." This time the Devil was gone 15 minutes. The Devil returned and said, "I'm sorry Gabriel, I can't talk right now. Those damn Texans have put out the fire and are trying to install air conditioning!!!
I was working today with a client who works at planned parenthood, with one of my dogs in my lap and had a thought.
Has anyone besides myself noticed that some of the biggest advocates for spaying and neutering pets are also some of the loudest supporters of the Pro-Life campaign?
Just something to think about and I'd really like to see what others think. I'm not looking for a pro-life/ pro-choice debate, though. We all have our views and all views, right, wrong or indifferent should be respected. But I just wonder about the strange double standards some people set.
Happy Holidays ya'll.
PS If it matters, I'm pro-choice and my dogs aren't spayed, they just adhere to forced abstanance.
You're not the only one that gets them. Just stay away from them and try your best to move along. (And if it's actual harrassment, you can get a restraining order.) Take it day by day and try to enjoy not hving to deal with her ALL the time. Good Luck!
We are very little creatures; all of us have different features. One of us in glass is set; one of us you'll find in jet. Another you may see in tin, and a fourth is boxed within. If the fifth you should pursue, it can never fly from you. What are we?
Ummmm...Sometime when I watch my dogs, I think they're telepathic, but only with each other. It's not like they talk to me or anything....which is good, have enough trouble sorting out which voices are real and which aren't in my head.
I live in south Texas. It gets a little warm down here. I had been out building fence all day and had run out of liquids. Digging around in the back of my truck I found a renegade beer that had been rolling around back there so long it was just a silver can.
A bloated, hot, silver can, I hoped that had once been a Bud Light.
It was not the worst beer I've had, but it was up there.
Now I don't drink often, but when I want a drink, I want one.
A can of beer out of a cooler that had fish go bad isn't very good either, by the way.
This is a silly, and hopefully embarrassing thread to show everyone what you've put up with or have gone through to get an alcoholic beverage.
And to get it started...
Just a little while ago I could not find my corkscrew. My friends are really good about using things and either not putting it back or just pocketing them.
So I have a bottle of wine I want into.
I am still remodeling and decorating and moving into my home. so it is a wreck.
I tried to 'cork' the bottle, but I can't get it jammed into the bottle. Looking around I see a rather long screw. I've been trying to use a screw driver and hammer to knock the cork into the bottle. So i screw the screw into the bottle and use the hammer to get at my wine... Oak Leaf Pinot Grigio, not that great, but not bad. The first half-bottle was better than the second.
So, what have you done lately? This isn't the worse I've done, but it's a start.
Disturbing to think he {Stallone, the Itallian Stallion, lol} got his start in 'adult film'. I dislike most of his movies, but a couple weren't bad. Don't like him enough to know if HE actually wrote anything yet, though.
Here are a couple more...
Mrs. Doubtfire, Haven't read, but looking for. {Alias Madame Doubtfire}
Hellboy. {One of many comics made movie.}
American Psycho. {Everytime I get order business cards I think of the movie.}
The Amityville Horror!
Hoot {Not great, but I have it.}
Payback {Loved it! The book is called The Hunter.}
That's enough for now. {Would have enjoyed the Mad Max series as novels, I think, but don't think it ever happened.}
The Bourne series. Bourne Identity, etc. {I like Matt Damon, but he'll always be Ben Afleck's goofy friend to me. Hell, Ben will always be Matt's goofy friend, too. Hard to take either of them seriously after the Kevin Smith movies they played in. Which I loved, of course.}
Louis L'Amour had several Books made into movies. The Sacketts, Quick and the Dead, and Hondo to name a few. {Was not just a western writer, for a good read look into his stories about other apects of his life.}
Finally, the guys' side of the story. (I must admit, it's pretty good.) We always hear "the rules" From the female side.
Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules!
{Please note... These are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!}
1. Men are NOT mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon Or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem. See a doctor.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
1 If you won't dress like the Victoria 's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us .
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of them makes you sad or angry, then we meant the other one.
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1 Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color . Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle, besides we know you will bring it up again later.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

Man's Best Friend
Why is a dog man's best friend instead of his girlfriend?Lock them both in the trunk of your car for 3 hours and see which one is happy to see you.
