stray
I would ask the restaurant owner first just to make sure he is a stray and doesn't live nearby.
Stray
If you cannot keep him, then find him a good home. I had a Lab show up here about a week after I moved in. I thought he belonged to someone, and I would let him play during the day with my dog (in my huge fenced backyard, and then pick him up manually and put him out the fence. He would be back in just 30 minutes. Well, I named him Bud, and he is here to stay. I found out that he had been running all over the place until I took him in. He sleeps on the floor beside my bed.
I have taken in so many animals from racoons, dogs, cats, hawks, opossums, and even had a pet skunk. I am happy I can provide relief for the critters who cannot take care of themselves. I know you feel that way too.
Keep on doing such a fine job. You will be blessed for it.
Stray Dog question
For the last couple of days this stray dog has been coming around. Today he finally let me catch him. He looks like he is probably someone's hog dog, as we live next to 300 acres of woods. I called the people that own the land, because I was told they are the only ones who hunt on it, and they said they aren't missing any dogs.
He's a cute little fella, he's definitely got some pitt in him, so I really don't want to turn him over to animal control because they will just euthanize him probably. He's really skinny and looks like he hasn't eaten in weeks. He was covered in ticks and fleas, so I bathed him and sprayed him down with flea and tick spray and put him out back on my old dogs dog house for now. I would let him in by I have two other dogs and I don't know if he has any diseases or not so I don't want them near him.
There is no way my husband is going to let me keep him. Do you think I should keep trying to find the owner or just try to find him a new home? He's scarred up pretty good and like I said he's skin and bones (I've been calling him Bones :) ). I would feel bad if I gave him away and the owner came looking for him, but I called all the vet clinics and the humane society and no one has reported him missing. I would think if someone was worried they would have at least called the shelter looking for him!
This is the fifth stray we've had show up here since we moved here two years ago. Three I found the owner for and one I kept for a month before giving her to a good home. I don't mind caring for him, but my husband isn't a huge fan of my obsession with orphaned animals LOL.
She was a stray. I did not realize she did not belong to anyone
until after she was pregnant. We adopted her or she adopted us. I do plan on getting her fixed.
Stray animals and an animal lover
On Sunday, I was working when white fur flew by my window. On further inspection, I see neighbors in front yard observed ~five~ dogs running around the street, from house to house. I got them into my garage ASAP so none would be hit by a car. Placed ad in paper fully expected a response by an owner who had left the gate open - but, nothing.
Right now, they are in my backyard. Three males, two females, all under 10 lbs. None neutered. Two of the males are attacking a third, older male. Separating them has led to one howling in distress in my garage.
In the meantime, my 2 dogs and 2 cats are in distress from this. I feel so bad as I am now looking at the call to the SPCA and it is hearbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking. In fact, I am near tears.
I had a vision of us all living reasonably well together until I could find homes with them but I am faced with the realization that it is too much for me and I feel like a failure. There is an animal rescue group but even they are overwhelmed with stray animals. In fact, one that I have is a stray that I was fostering and kept as she fit right in.
RE: Me too - buy a ranch, take in stray animals and help orphaned children :-)

Indeed, why would he??? Hmmm...nm
s
hmmm
I haven't heard that he is going to come back as victor jr. i dont think i would like that either, but i wanted him to come back and be with phyllis. sharon gets on my nerves, and i think she will end up with brad, and i dont like him too. heck, why do i watch the show haha.
also if you havent check out www.yrnews.com. its a great website, and has spoilers sometimes.
Hmmm, another one? lol

Hmmm, will try again

hmmm, that is too bad...
I feel that way about my mother - I love her but I don't usually like her that much! She just acts so childish and selfish most of the time, but she took good care of me when I was younger, and I definitely respect her for that. I know she'll always be there for me too, which is a wonderful thing. I guess I do like her half the time, but she really drives me nuts!
How old is your daughter? Maybe you could sit her down and explain to her that while friends come and go family is forever, and you are the one she will most likely come to when her life falls apart or she just goes through hard times. Tell her you would appreciate it if she would compromise with you on the dog thing - tell her it is her business, really, but you just want to help and purchase a doghouse for the dog. Apologize for maybe coming across the wrong way, but let her know your heart is in the right place here, and maybe you can't save the world, but this is a situation you can help with and that's all you're trying to do.
She may just be hypersensitive when it comes to you and might be holding onto old grudges or trying to get back at you for controlling her when she was younger or something - I don't know. Obviously you know her best, and if you think she'll freak out about a doghouse then maybe you're right, but I think it would be sad to ruin your relationship over a dog (my mom didn't talk to her mom for 2 years over a dog, and it was hard on the whole family!) Sometimes I think difficult people are put into our lives to make us stronger, better people, and it definitely sounds like you two are pushing each other to change/better yourselves. Sorry, I'm rambling, and I definitely don't have all the answers, but I wish you the best of luck with the situation!
N/T - hmmm let's see
They haven't shown Kimber and/or Matt in a while. Kimber is on tonight's episode. She got involved in porno again and is divorcing Matt. She told him she never loved him. The baby is with her and her new boyfriend (Bo Duke a/k/a John Schneider, who is the head of the porn studio). At one point Christian said that he wanted her to give up the baby, and she agreed, but of course the next thing you know she changed her mind and no one is doing anything about it. Matt blew himself up in a homemade Meth Lab and now he's getting clean. Julia can't decide whether she wants to be a lesbian or be with Christian although they supposed now love each other. The only problem is, Julia hasn't told Olivia yet. She hasn't been on in a really long time either.
Sorry so long. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me. Oh, and next week is the last episode for a while.
Hmmm
"I always have the mentality of not having enough money although realistically this is not the case"
You know...most people who feel they don't have the money don't generally take three vacations in one year. Just a thought.
hmmm
Whether or not they have insurance, if I knew they were taking a trip under the influence, I would make a call the local police department. They could kill someone.
Hmmm
From this post, my reaction is that she doesn't sound self-centered to me if she offered to take him in her house. That can be some hard work to take on. It sounds like she has the way she would take care of him and you have the way you would take care of him, and both your ways are different. That does not make her selfish, IMO. She is contributing the way she sees fit, and you are contributing the way you see fit.
Unfortunately, this is a pickle. If he is unable to care for himself because of all his conditions, there has to be some sort of compromise with his situation, meaning he will have to change his living arrangements in some way with home health or something along those lines OR change where he is living. I am not sure what his level of disability is from the post, because while blindness is a disability, it does not mean one cannot live by himself. I don't know how far the RA or heart problems are from your post.
You can take him to his PCP and he or she may have some ideas for you and some decent referrals as well.
Hmmm
She usually drinks the sparkling water with lime if I remember correctly but she has been eyeing the alcohol lately. Catherine has seen her and is the only reason why she hasn't drank since this whole David thing so maybe she fell off the wagon again. I bet David tries to say she was committing suicide.
Hmmm....
I think that is a weird attitude to have toward your child. Unfortunately, he is going to be out there is society doing these behaviors that make him so intolerable at home. It is your responsibility as his parent to ensure that he is fit for society so that he can be accepted and successful. Kicking him out on the road when he's 18 is not the answer. I have a 19-year-old and there were days that I was counting down until he went away to college, but no matter what, he's still my son. He is actually starting to act like a human this year, so there is hope. Just make sure you keep your heart open to him and not just wish he was gone. He can feel that from you and will resent you for it. You only get to do this once, so do your best, not just enough to get him by until he's 18. I don't want to sound judgmental, but your post does sound a bit harsh. Beleive me, I have also had my moments that I was more than harsh with my son, but make sure you give a lot of love too. 
Hmmm
I read the book also and never thought of that but that is a very good point!
I would not call it life-changing for me more thought provoking.
Hmmm...there have been so many
In high school I worked for the summer at a greenhouse. I was hired to clean it. We all know how much dirt plants have, but would anyone imagine how much dirt gets up in the support beams to the roof of a greenhouse?
I used to be a dogsitter and a house sitter for about 6 months when I was 18.
I worked in a college cafeteria.
I worked in a laundromat cleaning machines...that was kinda gross.
I worked 5 years as a CNA/CMA.
Oh, my most interesting one must have been when I worked for a year driving an 18-wheeler. You see just about anything/everything doing that. I can't tell those stories on here.
Hmmm, let's try it
Frontwards: SIS
BACKWARDS: SIS
Upside down: SIS
Doesn't matter I guess unless you turn the S backwards too. Upside down S is still S.
Hmmm ...
I don't think there is anything wrong with questioning God. He did give us minds and feelings after all.
It seems you are also being a bit self-righteous in telling someone if they don't believe in God it is the least of their problems.
No one knows for sure what the truth is and plenty of "God-fearing" people have huge issues ... of course they get Heaven as their consolation prize, don't they? Well, if they believe in the Christian God that is.
Not that it matters, but I have been a vegetarian basically since I was 15 (give or take a few smokey links in the few years after). I am now almost 50.
The meat I do think sounds good once in awhile is bacon. Seems like an odd choice, but it must be the texture and strong flavor.
I must be lonely, as I want to tell a little story. Some friends once rescued an ill runt from a litter of pigs. The husband made my girlfriend agree they would nurture it to healh and raise it to eat. She agreed even though she would have rather kept it for a pet.
When it grew up, they butchered it and put it in a big freezer in their basement. One day they noticed something smelled really nasty. Come to find out, one of their sons (whose room was in the basement) unplugged it for some reason, and all the meat was ruined!
The really sad part is that one of their dogs had made friends with that pig when it was little. They used to lie together and play. It was so cute.
Let me see, hmmm
No sweetners, no soy products, use sea salt only, not the blue box lady under the umbrella type, have filter on the water. No weight loss, still hair loss, dry skin. Glad it worked for you.
hmmm... I'm right along with ya..
as if all the junk he's putting your daughter through isn't bad enough, the part about him asking for money before he could pray for this lady.. apparently he is doing this for all the WRONG reasons.. I think he has major problems in more ways than one
With a body like that, hmmm you could also do
porno but just not the way I would want others to see me. Sorry, I have family that I just would not want to shame them much less myself. Just not an exhibitionist here.
Hmmm.. what good is
being skinny if you are confined to your bathroom? Yuk.
Hmmm, disrespectful?
Maybe it runs in the family?
You post in one paragraph about your 2 cousins, in their 40s yet, dropping dead of MIs, one just last night?
Then in paragraph 2 you joke around about dating.
The least you could have done was make two separate posts.
Tsk, tsk.
Hmmm.... you and Jan have exactly the same picture and
scripture at the bottom of each page. Let me see- are you the same???
Hmmm,,,use the guy only for his money so...
one does not wind up destitute even if you don't love him...Wow, you've come a long way baby! How feminist of you...There are good guys out there, prince charmings too, Wow, you must have really got burned at one time. Life is too short to be unhappy.
Hmmm, some people really like them
NM
Hmmm, I'd say probably a thief...
I agree with what you said, too...that's probably how I would have handled it!
Hmmm, a Dexatrim candle?

Hmmm...shows up for me right under the MQ board. nm
s
Hmmm, could make some type of
shutters too like the white boards but have them open like the old fashioned shutters. thanks
Hmmm, I don't think that would work for my situation
because it's not a civil split. We both want the dog and I think it is going to come down to the Judge's decision, just not sure what criteria they base it on. Thanks for all the replies.
Hmmm, wondered why they had the cap on that baby
in the Bahamas? Did anyone else notice that? Baby mama drama continues.
HMMM, I would...Be HONEST and pay in full...nm

Hmmm, rather than warm weather, could it be
menopause? I don’t have the sweating during the night. As far as the weather, my grown daughter told me one time if she had been born where there was snow (as you are talking about) as soon as she grew up she would get outta there- it is just what you prefer. I have only been snowed in twice in the past say 15 years and that is fine with me. Oh, I do enjoy the soup and salad at Olive Garden- and eat without sweating.
Hmmm. they're her kids too...
she could have helped pay for college if she wanted to. All I can say is thank goodness his child support obligation is over...it was his choice not to pay for college, so be it. Too many ex-wives expect too much.
Hmmm... here's what the actors say about next season:
Found online, George may or may not stay:
Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight are both leaving “Grey’s Anatomy,” according to co-star James Pickens Jr.
“Yes, she is,” Pickens told Us Weekly when asked if Heigl is leaving the ABC hospital drama. “Wherever Katherine goes, I wish her nothing but the best.”
Pickens, speaking backstage after last weekend’s NAACP Awards lunch in Beverly Hills, expressed similar sentiments regarding Knight.
“He’s going too,” Pickens said. “He just wanted to pursue other career paths.”
Both Heigl and Knight have made no secret about their unhappiness on “Grey’s.”
The vociferous Heigl, who’s complained about storylines in the past, made even fewer friends on the show when she blamed her lack of an Emmy nomination last year on the “Grey’s” writers (for not giving her more to work with).
Knight has publicly complained about his lack of screen time and was reportedly threatening to leave the show earlier this season.
Ironically, ABC entertainment chief Stephen McPherson told TV critics last month that he expected Knight to return next season (although he didn’t say in what capacity that would be).
hmmm...interesting story..
i guess the crux of the problem is that i cannot participate or make $$$ from the enterprise, and i got laid off from my religious affiliated inhouse position and my psych position
I don't see what one issue has to do with the other.
I don't like the fact that he won, but he's a free to gamble, as are we all.
Probably because it's really a non-issue.
(She was great on SNL a couple weeks, ago, too! Her 'double-takes' etc. were cracking me up.)
My dog and my issue sm
I must have a lot of this chemical or something.
If I am unwittingly *glutened* I get the toots and they are...highly unpleasant, shall we say. Now, I understand that dogs generally enjoy this, but my poor dog does not. She hears the noise, whines and RUNS as fast as she can to other room. Not too long ago, she was being a terrible pest and I needed to get up to work. I made the sound with my mouth. She tucked her ears and tail, and made B-line for the bedroom away from where she thought was coming!
This chemical might be good for my blood pressure, but not so good for my dog.
I had that issue too for a while - sm
I "adopted" my dad's husky and he was used to being totally spoiled. I give both him and my lab dry. He was finicky for about 3 days but after seeing the lab finish up his food for 3 days he started eating no problem. He has started to get a bit picky again so we make up beef boullion for him and add some to the food and he is back to eating w/o a problem. Think he just got bored and wanted some more flavor. Boullion is cheap and easy to make.
I have had this issue for a while myself- sm
My DH will not do a vasectomy though I explained it is easier for him than I, etc. I would have possible heavier and painful periods, which I don't want. Right now they are heavy but I forget most of the time I even have it, which is bad as I have "accidents" then. But I have never really been affected from my period, no cramps or bloating, I do get headaches but that is about it. I have been leaning towards that IUD now, Mirena I think it is called. Figure I will hit menopause in 10 years so can wait it out in the meantime. He knows I am using nothing so if I get pregnant at 43 it will be a whoops, and we are having another child late in life. He would not like it but tough noogies.
Thanks but here is the issue
Living in a smaller town, although right next to a huge complex, not many here that I can locate anyway does acupuncture. The nearest one I found before was probably about 30 or 40 miles away. I can self refer as I have PPO insurance so a referral not needed for me. I just want to know how to word an I only want to use #1 as a pain clinic physician.
Hmmm, less sugar helps your pain? sm
Geesh, I'll have to try cutting back. Since the holidays when I way overdid the whole sweets issue, I find my pain has increased signficantly, but I assumed it was due to all the painting I have been doing in addition to all the stress. I take Relafen 200 4 tabs daily and have Darvocet for the more severe pain, but I only use that at night, unless of course I have a nasty daytime headache, then I take one. I only take 1 day ususally. Would like to be able to cut back on both but it hasn't been possible.
Humping the same bear toy he suckles on? Hmmm!
nm
Well, sometimes there is a medical issue
as there is here, not just eating and eating for no reason at all. Was always trim and slim until this but thanks anyway for the curt note.
Wiretapping is a whole different issue
You have an expectation of privacy when you have a phone conversation (although cell phones have pretty much burst that bubble). The government shouldn't be able to listen in unless there is cause for them to be suspicious that you are involved in criminal activity.
The other information - SS#, birth certificate, marriage certificate - is already on file with the government. You aren't telling them anything they don't already know.
There is also the behavior issue of (sm)
submissive piddling.
You can buy something called a Belly Band for him to wear in the house. If he dribbles with it on, he gets himself wet, so this can teach him not to let that happen. I've just heard that not all pet stores call it a Belly Band or know what that is, but you can Google something like house training, canine belly band, and you can read about it and maybe order on line.
Corgis are so cute. You can post pictures here on the gab board.
