you know what, thats so unbelievable its actually believable..
insurance companies, credit card companies and banks.. we are all just numebers on their screen, not real people... my grandad still gets bank statements to this day... he died over 2 yrs ago.. we're sick of ringing them and tellin them.. so we decided if they enjoy sendind things out to a dead man, sure why spoil their fun...
well luckily i havent had that experience... the girls in my dole office are lovely, and there used to be this old guy and he was always helpful about tellin me other things i could look for...
just finished a new novel by philip meyer..."american rust"... was expecting so much more from it, but the pace was slow, the plot was tight but it failed to deliver in the end...
whats wrong is that we are completly disconnected from ourselves..
we are immeresed in a culture of greed and self-righteousness.. we dont care about our fellow man anymore, just what can we do to look after ourselves.. we want everything this instant and at whatever cost..
this feed over into people who are easily led, and live in deprived areas of the world.. if the leaders of the world were to make an attempt at changing the way society behaves at the top, it would trickle down eventually to everyone..
thats still a bit harsh... u dont know theor situation.. some people arent strong enough to look after a child like that..
maybe they are a single parent.. maybe they coldnt cope financially..
its cool to hear u do such a wonderful job and you enjoy it.. but maybe people who give up their kids with special needs, wants that child to have the best care possible, and they cant offer that..
i dropped out of college when i was 26... my next door neighbour rang round one night when i was home, lookin for my da.. she's like 90.. she asked me how was college goin.. i told her i dropped out.. she asked why.. i told her i didnt enjoy it.. and in a serious a voice as possible.. she said... "good man, life's to short to be wasting doing something that doesnt make you happy"....
but just going on my pwn experiences, i dont think love after the first heartbreak is the same as love without knowing what heartbreak is.... there is a beautiful innocence to falling in love for the first time and not knowing the pain that will come when (if) that love ends...
falling in love (for me) the second time round is not the same. it can be good and whatever, but never the same..JMO
you can race them everyweek if the trainer thinks they are ok to do so... most money in greyhounds is made on the first 7 or 8 races from betting... only a tiny percentage of dogs make it to the big sponsored races where money is high...
you can get a low level dog (if ur lucky he/she might be a flyer) and just pay 50 a week for training, and make a few quid on good odds in first few races.. some mates of mine bought a dog 9 months ago.. thousand euros... won its first seven races in a row... two of its races it was 4/1... one the part owners has cleared over 10G on her already... but he was willing to gamble a good few quid...
