At first I just bought animals straight out

and had them vetted including neuturing or spaying and then we gave the animals to good homes. Without licensing, here you cannot sell animals. As rescuers we can just get any animals from shelters, no cost to us. Here in the south you have an overabundance of animals and so many just put down. I hear up north exact opposite. I had wanted to do something like this, like you, for quite some time and rescued a dog for myself, no where to keep, met the lady I work with now off Craigslist, stated she took in all doggies and kitties and would find them home. I gave a doggie another try at good home and I found a good home for myself! I can hardly wait for our rescuing to expand more.

I think I have this straight-
you took a job without the new job knowing you had a vacation set up and taking right? Bad time to have started UNLESS upfront you discuss the fact you have had set up for this and that length of time. The job I am with now was started right when I had planned in advance for some time a vacation. Before hired, I told them of my plans and asked any problem? No and I have been at same place now since 2006. I never would start a job and then spring on them the next week oh vacation time. As far as advice, just find another job. If you put in your notice at first job, I probably would ask for that back until you get something else.
That's a straight lie
Last Christmas our church bought toys for the kids in the neighborhood for their parents to give them KNOWING that the chances of them ever actually participating in the church were slim to none. We didn't screen, we just made sure those parents got to give their kids a decent Christmas.
That's just one example, I can give you many more.
How about Brother Charlies, a "thrift" store in Georgia who usually just gives away clothes to anyone who can't afford to pay a couple dollars a shirt. Or the Brother Charlies shelter, who takes in any and all men (because most shelters are for women and children)
We have a conference once a month at our church and a budget list is passed out. About 70% of our funds go to organizations and food pantries. We have needed bathrooms and a new A/C unit in our church for about five years now but we are waiting until we can afford it WITHOUT taking money from the charities and pantries we support. Til then we will just put up with leaky toilets and hot summers and cold winters. God never said we'd get to be comfortable!
I'm so tired of everyone always ragging on the churches. Why don't you stop spitting the same ol' rhetoric that you hear and go do some checking out for yourself.
And before you come back and say you already did and they turned you down, then you need to check out different churches. Those that are OF GOD and FOR GOD will turn away NO ONE.
so let me get this straight. If there were a blizzard outside (sm)
and you have to go to the store (or anywhere for that matter) you're going to bundle YOURSELF up in your nice warm coat and let your daughter go with NO coat simply on the basis of principle??? And a FOUR-year-old sent off with NO LUNCH simply because they forgot it?? That is totally unbelievable and uncalled for. There's a fine line between stating a point and neglecting your children and I think you'ved crossed it!!
Straight into the arms of someone to
support me!!!!
You really are not thinking straight
beause it is your daughter but first of all, what is the age of consent in your state? You have no more rights to knowing about his jail as you do in asking him to take test for sexually transmitted diseases nor in seeing his medical records. You are going overboard against him- what about your daugher- what kind of punishment have you dealt out to her? You are blaming only him- not her- I know when I had sex early it was me and him. You have told her you are disappointed. Well, you want to wring his neck- punishing her also?? You are seeing her as this small child when actually she is past that now. You talked - that did no good - you thought lines were open with both of you - that was not true- think about how you are going in a rage against this guy. He may be the worst there is but it was not rape, now was it?
When I get those, I "forward" them straight into my
*
gee hard to keep all you guys straight..sm
if you can assume, so can I. In all actuality, the torah came from all of our ancestors, but I still think you should read it again...wouldn't hurt. but at least you got the ROFL right this time. :^)
have a good evening. see ya. bye bye. nitey nite.
I loved "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" - nm
?
Straight or gay phone sex line?
Just asking because you said he turns you down, maybe it was a gay chat line.
Should I just come straight out and ask if this is like a weird sex thing?
My mom and I both were like, maybe they are busy doctors etc. etc we always try to see things in the good light... so should I just email them now and just say hey look... is this anything involving sex or games or anything like that? what if it wasn't and they then thought I WAS the crazy one and I lose an amazing opportunity! :)
You need to read the post again and get it straight
I said the place where we get the animals from do not "allow" adoption of this breed but having said that, I read and hear about their "sweetness" all the time on the news and papers and I tend to believe what I hear- you can go for it but I would rather stick with other breeds, thank you. Lots of pits not available through the shelters. Watch animal channel sometimes and you will see when they get pit bulls (I know in Detroit this is the case) they put them down, not able to rehome.
i didn't see the Straight Up Latte today :(
good luck with your search
straight up latte girl see inside
hey I know you said below that you tried your own version. I was going to reply but was afraid that you wouldn't see it way down there. Anyway....I like my coffee with 8 tablespoons of light cool whip. Nothing else. It's very good that way and may be similar to your latte. Let me know if you try it!
Sorry about the typos, been up all night and can't see straight or spell it seems. nm

OMG! My mom told me that too! I ate the crusts and still have poker straight hair. nm

soak w/Windex, use straight-edged blade....
I hate this place. I really do. No snow. It's over. It was coming straight toward us and then
BAM! It went straight north! Atlanta was snowing like crazy. I'm only 2 hours from Atlanta!!!!! I am sick over here. Really. I had everything lined up at the door waiting to take my boys outside to play! Of course, we heard from friends in Tuscaloosa, AL, who had inches of snow and it was falling and sticking and THEIR kids were playing in it! I'm frustrated. My husband could care less about our kids seeing snow (he's lived in this area his whole life and has seen it maybe twice).
I on the other hand lived in NY and VT, so I am well aware of snow. I just want my kids to see it so bad, you guys.
Okay. I am having a major pity party. PLEASE, please, someone remind me (who is blessed living in a place where it DOES snow), remind me of how lucky I am to never see snow - EVER. Keep those lists coming because I need to be reminded of how lucky I am. Right now I feel punishment from God!
ADDENDUM. Just trying to get some straight answers and not sure what to make of this whole mess. nm

For me it is not about gay/straight - it is about government taking too much control of our children
That is a really sore subject with me!! I want everyone to live their lives and teach their children as they see fit. As far as the gay/straight issue, I have taught my children who are 8 and 11 about homosexuality, about people being different, acceptance, not to be judgemental. I just have an issue when public school teachers want to use the school as a public forum for whatever reason. In school I remember a teacher who had strong political views and she taught us daily her way of thinking. I don't think that is fair. I think certain things should be reserved for parents to teach their children.
Getting the stick sounds pretty straight forward to me
You could talk to someone at the school, tell them what you know, what you plan on doing, and see what kind of support becuase they may suspect problems but don't have facts.
I admit sometimes it seems easier just to look the other way, but what if there was someone that could have helped Caylee Anthony and "looked the other way". Follow your instincts.
If your suspicious prove unfounded you are out nothing but a "friend". He doesn't seem like someone I would want to be friends with and if his child acts the way you say, I wouldn't encourage a friendship between the boys.
get your facts straight. Rosie signed a school year
that was when her original contract was supposed to expire, June 2007, a school-year yearly contract. ABC wanted her to sign a 3-year contract for the amount of $$ she requested.........and she only wanted to sign a one-year contract.......
I will miss her as I had given up the View due to Star Jones' fiascos....and now, once again, after June, I will never watch it again. Rosie brought the ratings up because after 9 years of Star Jones, people were tired of the show.
Ta-Ta to The View and ABC.....
Crazy curly in the summer, poker straight in the winter
My hair changes with the weather and it is impossible to get a good hair style because it looks so different from one day to the next. But I like the color, natural blond with reddish highlights.
I used to get up and go straight to work - didn't even bother to brush my hair until after noon.
I had a holy faded T-shirt with Tweety bird (you could barely see him anymore!) and a pair of baggy sweat pants that I wore with big pink fuzzy house slippers! Until I got caught several times with a little old lady from my church stopping by to say high, salesman knocking on the door, and the final straw was my nice looking neighbor stopping buy to borrow my ladder. I finally decided perhaps I should brush my teeth and come my hair just in case!
Now, I get up every morning, take a shower, fix my hair, and put on my makeup. Then I get the kids off to school and I sit down and work. I have found that, believe it or not, I am way more productive than I used to be. I'm not distracted thinking about when am I going to make time for a shower. I still wear jeans and a T-shirt and my house slippers, but now no one can catch me looking like a worn out old hag anymore.  And now that I'm single, well ya never know when you might bump into Mr. Right.
Just a tip about animals
As I am getting cleaned up from Christmas and heading towards the New Year, thought I would pass on something that I do and if you don't know about it and can do the same, here tis: I get the newspapers each day (along with lots of subscriptions to different magazines), save them up and when I get a big bunch I take them to my local animal shelter. They cut them up and use for bedding for the animals. Pass it on.....
Well at least they like animals...
I'd take them for neighbors over someone who *shoots at* animals, any day!
Animals
Dogs and cats are good! That will be a fun job and animals are so loving and grateful for anything we do. Good choice too since you get free vet care you can get another dog! Or two. You can never have enough dogs. I only have three. I need a bigger house so I can have more dogs! They are our "babies" and are spoiled. I would hate to transcribe without my dogs who sit next to me and "wait" - what have I ever done to deserve this? I just accept it and feel loved.
animals
If she could have someone else feed them honestly it would save her a bunch. The minimum I have seen places charge and I have moved around alot was 16 a night per animal. Sometimes if you can put 2 in the same cage they give you a small discount on one animal per cage.
what we will do for our animals. .
One year my cat just kept jumping up into the middle of the tree. . we came home from work several times with the tree in the floor. . we eventually anchored the tree to the floor AND ceiling. . . as he got older he got calmer. . I'm sad to say last Christmas was his last - he died in January at age 17. . . He was a good friend. .
Yup, just like animals, neither can they. LOL

animals
I would do the samething, have two dogs that I love dearly which one is blind and has lived in the same house since she was a puppy, and still runs into the walls and things. It is so sad to see, so I would never do anything to make it any harder on her. Bless you for being so caring.
raw animals
The wild animal the dog kills wasn't raised on a factory farm under conditions favorable for salmonella epidemics, and wasn't force-fed antibiotics to cover the many diseases hens get when they live in such tight quarters.
Then again, the raw chicken is actual chicken, rather than "animal digest" or the other euphemisms the pet food industry uses to cover the miserable quality of their food (even the premium brands are just awful).
And just look at how animals
almost always hook up with another animal friend ... even natural enemies.
I guess if you are very social, you can get enough from other people and activities. I get drained too easily and so would rather have my mate than be alone.
how do you know that? Unfortunately animals
cannot tell us how they feel, not before and not after.
Poor animals!
A ''crate'' is just a nice term for a cage. How sad to cage a dog or cat.
You can only try. That is what we did with my son. His stuffed animals SM
were his worst nightmare allergy-wise.
I've had dogs with dry skin, but never were they were that miserable. I wonder if they make a doggie lotion that could help or if there is some type of herbal remedy like who knows what but some type of oil safe for doggie skin.
I have two black labs now and one puppy Yorkie. My older black labs gets some dry skin on his belly, but nothing too bad.
Don't give up. You'll find it!
All animals, pets or not are most definitely
.
Thanks for that one. Animals rule!

What is it with old stinky animals!
My old dog and old horse really do "smell like old people." They have a funk of their own when compared to the younger animals of same species, even though they are all completely healthy. I think it's just what happens, the why's and how's though, I am completely clueless about. I really have an especially soft spot for the ol' senior critters though.
Animals in heaven? NM

social animals
Rodents, rats especially, are very very social animals and are intelligent and desire human contact. I've had 6 diff rats, all are passed away now cause they only last a few years, but they are very playful and will play with you and like to be held, petted and carried around. The more you do that the more friendly they get!
Have fun!
wild animals
My fiance used to live in a subdivision in our small town. . every night, possums and racoons came up on his back deck and looked through the sliding glass door at us while we were watching TV in the living room. . We enjoyed seeing them and sometimes we would put food out for them. .
I have to share this also because I think it is a once in a lifetime thing - yesterday we were walking on my fiance's farm and saw a deer giving birth. . we got to within about 35 yards of it. . We only watched for about 10 minutes because we could tell we were making it very nervous. . I hope they both do okay. .
for my animals -- YES absolutely!
i don't think its a bit crazy to CARE for your animals, and take care of them. Bless your heart!
fostering animals
Does anyone foster animals? I've been thinking of fostering a dog or cat and wonder what exactly is involved.
There are those that believe animals have souls-
I doubt they would find it ridiculous, though I do agree that this whole thread is ridiculous. The OP wanted to start a fire and she got it.
Animals very much desirable,
in your own homes, not running loose in the neighborhood. I have inside pets, they live longer inside anyway.
Like I said, I love most animals and have more than...
my fair share of them including a horse that is losing her teeth and anyone else would put down because it is very expensive to keep her around and very cheap to replace her at this point, but I just can't do it, as she is very healthy. I am just not such a cat person and I really hope that my husband does not bring on home, but if he did, I would expect it to stay outside. Terrible, I know, but that is just the way I am.
Antidepressants help some animals, too.
I do appreciate life and have respect for animals.
I just don't think they should be shoved in my face.
I agree - there are many children in stores who should be taken outside to be handled. However, people are NOT animals.
Unfortunately, most doglovers cannot appreciate this difference.
So even animals help decide our fate???
Where did you read this or learn about this? I've never heard that animals will speak for or against us on judgement day...interesting. Guess I'm in the clear, I don't do animals, don't own them, don't abuse them, don't like 'em!
You don’t have to love animals, that is not the point
although I find them much more rewarding that most people I know, you have to be really sick to hurt one.
I like how you called your animals *somebody*...that is cute
If *somebody* gets sick on the weekend....
Animals ARE people too!
You sound like a good mother :)
