I have a dilemma.  I am an animal lover and have something I cannot come to a conclusion about.  At a restaurant where I eat lunch every Friday with a friend of mine, I have noticed a young male kitty hanging around outside looking for food.  This past week he ran up to my friend and rubbed her legs and quietly meowed.  I purposely did not try to pet him because I knew I would get attached and ignored him.  Well, ever since then I find myself thinking about him and wanting to rescue him.  Meanwhile, I already have 4 inside cats (2 rescues, 2 Maine Coons) and hubby really does not want another cat in the house because a few years ago I promised we would  never have more than 4 (had up to 5 at one point previously).  I actually have a huge screened deck he could stay on indefinitely because I do not believe in letting cats run loose for their own safety.  I could provide plenty of food, a warm place to sleep, and veterinary care.  At some point I would even probably work him into our household, but I just cannot do it at the moment.  Just not sure I would be doing right by that kitty because I am sure he would be upset and confused for a good while as to where he was and what was going on, but is that better than being hungry and cold?  I know there are lots of animal lovers out there.  What does everyone think?? 

after I found HUGE holes in the walkway between my house and barn.  I thought they were just little mice stealing grain, but then I spotted one and it was a HONKIN RAT!  My poor olderly cat was out there with me at the time and saw it, and he hissed at it and ran away! 

I asked for advice on what to do at a local agricultural board, because I have other animals and didn't want to use poison and conventional traps weren't working.  They advised putting a large pale of water out with some seeds floating in it, figuring the rats would go for the seeds and end up drowning.  That was a no-go because the water just froze up solid.  I wound up reluctantly going with Decon because I just can't have my house destroyed.  I haven't had seen any more rats or evidence of them stealing grain, so I'm guessing they have died.  The guy at the grain store promised me the rats would not die in the building and stink the joint up, rather they would crawl off and die outside.  I don't know if I believe that, as it is still winter here and decomposition would be holding off until it warms up.  We'll see, but at least the destruction has been halted.

Good luck and I too say have no mercy, because you just don't need them destroying hour house or causing a spark chewing wires and burnin' the place down.  It is war!

and this worked very well for me.  I also felt a little out of it for the first week or so, but give it time to work as I didn't notice any changes until about 3-4 weeks after taking it.  I'm sure you know this, but don't stop taking it altogether without weaning because I actually ran out of it once for about a week and I had really bad symptoms of withdrawal after the second day. 

Hope it works for you!  It really did help me a lot, and I got to a point where I didn't need it anymore. 

I took that 1/2 a tab this morning and fell asleep on the couch after lunch.  Ended up oversleeing for my 2:00 shift.  Don't want to do that anymore.

I'm sorry about what happened to you.  That would be freaky to have someone jump out in front of your car like that.

At first when I went to bed I was freakin' out!  I did not sleep that well, but them drifted off. I think maybe when Hermie comes home at night (He works at home, but has a job a few evenings second shift) when he check his mail he leaves the front door open. I think that is how they get in! He said he had three in about 5 years!!  See my post about Hermie. I'm havin' some unsavory thoughts!  HAAAA!

Yes, the party was a smash hit. My precious growled at me when I acted like I ws gonna take her new rope toy. I heard this little ERRRRRR under the table and cracked up. She loves to jump up on my lap about 500 times per visit, but last night those  jump-ups were rather limited. She was GUARDING HER TOY! Every time she jumped up I could see her looking to the side with her big eyes watching the toy on the floor! 

I will try to enjoy my day. Some days I am not really up for just being alone and doing errands, but today I am. I need to relax. I have had so much pain lately again. I am glad we are email friends and sure wish we could get together sometime. Do you enjoy watching the agility trials and dog shows? I wish I knew of a place when it gets cooler to do to just take a lawn chair and watch these fabulous dogs perform for the crowds!  I don't know if I told you before, but I went to Westminster with my niece and friend in 2006! What a thrill!  I wrote a song and sang it on CD and took along and gave it to David Frei. I sure wish you could hear it!  About a month ago I wrote another song about a dog show, but I really don't want to go to the expense now to find someone to play for me and put it on CD.

Have a great day, and read my Hermie post. You might smile. IT IS ALL TRUE, so help me TYNE! 

Loved it, but poor Christian, feeling so left out.  But still up to his old ways.  I didn't like what he did at the end.

We've been married for 16 years.  I don't know what the average is, but I guess you have to really want it.

...one of our previous pastors was called on the carpet for putting up a few Halloween decorations on his own propery.  Not by anyone in our congregation, but by a stranger.  They told him he should "know better."

I also don't know what decorating for Halloween has to do with those poor Amish girls, either.  Weird.  I decorate for fall more than Halloween, especially since my kids don't like to carve Jack-o-lanterns anymore, and Halloween has never been my thing since I was a little kid and the neighborhood teenagers had me scared out of my wits, but it sounds like you have fun!!

I get what you're pointing out - makes no sense (esp the teacher-child molestation issues)....

On TV last night was a program on the Miami Drug Cartel from the 1970s thru the 80s and into the 90s.....it was so interesting to see how this city was built up......and so much of it was from the drug business, laundering money out of country, and returning it back to Miami in the form of constructing new sky scrapers everywhere and the cigarette racing boats

.......it's going to be on several times this week on Nat'l Geographic TV but worth checking out.......all appeared to be white collar crime too....most of these people (who are now quite elderly or getting quite elderly) were sharing their drug-running stories and not from jail.  It was riveting to see how it all came about, how it evolved, and how it changed drastically during the Reagan era....and how *crack cocaine* came to be and how that particular drug has taken down so many from so many walks of life.

Drugs are a big factor in why people make these bad choices that they do - what you were pointing out..........studying, getting degreed, and then thrrowing it all away...and that's what was shown on this TV show!!! 

Very sad, indeed!!!

in Africa and in the Adirondacks in this country and NOLA.  This was not the usual american idol - no one got booted off the show and they collected MILLIONS of dollars during this 2-hour special.

Unless you watched it last night, best hold your tongue because you have no clue.......last night was not a REALITY show American Idol -

AGAIN, IT WAS A TELETHON.......

I do believe Laila Ali or Apollo are going to win, although Laila toned it down last night because her father and mother were sitting on the sidelines (her mom is always there but first time for Mohammed).  He didn't look great but he smiled on one side of his mouth, had that eternal twinkle in his eye, and pointed at someone he recognized.

love Ali, and not bragging or anything but I met him when I was 18 and he was known as Cassius Clay...

ut-oh - age giveaway *lol*

The guy and his dad are talking about their circles on the cell phones and the guy realizes he isn't in his dad's circle, just a bunch of senior citizen women.  And his dad asks, Do you want me to hook you up?  My husband and I couldn't stop laughing.  That was so cute.

We also like the ones on ESPN with the Nascar drivers in driving school with the grouchy cop.
