    An Old Man and His Dog, Charlie

    “Hey Mister, “ he said, “ could you take my dog? He don’t eat much, just feed him whenever you can. We been together a long time but I’m not gonna be here much more, much longer, you know? He’s not ready to go, it’s not his time yet.” Though I had never actually been homeless like the old man...

    My mom is Insane -.-

    Is it possible your mother has entered that time of life when things change? You could also try showing up with a guy you know she will disapprove of, tell her you're dating or engaged, then offer to break it off if she lets the rest go. Or just wait it out and deal with your dad. Good...

    BOI to be Shut Down 1-1-2010

    snowgyre, I may be misremembering, I am terrible with names, but weren't you on the recieving end of a bad guy thread? And I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that the poster who said he's seen 10 friends jump on someone just because they were friends and not because they were jumping on a bag guy...

    Trust and Naivete'

    IF a person agrees to something, IF they say they will or will not do a certain thing, and then they violate their word, go back on what they said, LIE, how can it be libelous or slanderous to publicly say so? The truth is the truth. Speaking/writing of the truth for the SAKE of the truth...

    so sad!!

    Maybe it would be worth it for your husband to take a 100.00 a month paycut if it enabled you to get the help you need. If it would, have him talk to his boss.

    Trust and Naivete'

    You know what works to weed out these people with tender hinies and flapping mouthsies? PUBLICITY Let the rest of the world know that these people CANNOT be trusted, that they HAVE broken their word, that they ARE the turds in the bowl, that if they ARE allowed in the pool the will not...

    Trust and Naivete'

    I don't know Kelli. I suspect your heart is just wounded, sorely perhaps, but I doubt its purity is changed. The fact that you feel as you do is a good indication your heart is solid, just not as available as it once was. I can't fault you for it either. Dealing with all the crap that you...

    Trust and Naivete'

    A noble sentiment if ever I've heard one, and not a drop of estrogen to mess up my shoes. Good luck, seriously. I'm not much for blame games, but I'm not much for people either. You reap what you sow and sometimes I'm the guy with the scythe. Sometimes I'm not.

    Pit Bulls are Evil

    Ya know, I was thinking about the Pit that lives here and he IS a killer. Not snakes, he ignores those. Not the cat, they eat out of the same bowl. Not the other dogs though the dobie does try his patience when she sticks her butt in his face to get him to play. He is HELL on rodents though...

    Trust and Naivete'

    While I have been a member here since Kelli started this place up, I tend to wander off for long periods of time. During my last bit of not being here I missed the entire start and finish of the fight club but I would like to make a couple of comments about people in general that I hope will be...

    Pit Bulls are Evil

    Well......there are some breeds that are more rambunctious and prone to aggression than others. I've got a wolfhybrid, a pit and a dobie. The hybrid is 13 years old and not much for being aggressive nowadays but in his prime he never backed down from anything, never really started stuff, just...

    The ugly truth about the Leo market...........grrrrr(rant)

    Are you a carpenter? If not, give it some thought. You hit the nail hard and striaght and right on the head. It's about the money not being made because of competition created by those complaining loudest. They got theirs, liked it, want more, but don't want to compete with anyone doing it...

    The ugly truth about the Leo market...........grrrrr(rant)

    My guess is that your ASSumptions about me were not the first of yours to turn out erroneous. Perhaps it's difference of definitions. While it is "nice" to cover costs for you hobby, you are not a hobbiest. Correct? If you are not a hobbiest then you are a business. Correct? If you are a...

    The ugly truth about the Leo market...........grrrrr(rant)

    Yes, of course, I am not understanding the complexities involved in the reproductive enterprises of leopard geckos. You are a business. My post was not directed to you, but to the hobbiest who is complaining that they cannot make back the investment or costs of their ''hobby" My...

    The ugly truth about the Leo market...........grrrrr(rant)

    LOL. Really? Shame on them for getting a good deal? Seems quite easy to forget that just because one person feels one way others are free to feel differently to the point of diametric opposition. ANYONE who breeds with the intention of selling to recoup any part of the investment they have...
