Concealed carry is like ICBMs. You don't know what silo it is in. I open carry at times. It does make you the target. With conceal carry it makes people think twice before bopping granny on the head and stealing the apple pie. Granny may be armed. I know some that are. The choice should be there for everyone. I argue that everyone in Chicago and California should have to carry a live pineapple grenade. Sure there would be a spike in the death toll at first. Oh, but what a polite society would blossom from it. All grenade deaths should be buried in a free mass grave on public lands. | ||

People who don't take care of their pets bug the living s!#/ out of me! I got "family" that treat their pets really, really poorly. It's gotten to the point where I avoid being around them entirely for fear of causing a scene. | ||

I'm with ya Whisper. A couple of decades ago, I was visiting my parents and saw my dad use a cattle prod on the family dog (I raised her and trained her and I KNOW she never needed no damn cattle prod). I snatched that cattle prod out of my dad hands and used it on him about a dozen times, then broke it in half and threw it in the trash. I was not welcome in their hose for a long time...

Years ago I visited a work friend. Nice guy. They had a small dog that was immature. Nobody had noticed that the dog had grown so much his collar was literally choking him. I loosened the collar and mentioned it to him but he didn't seem to concerned. Made me kind of sick. | ||

"family"? Why be afraid of causing a scene? You might talk some sense into them, help the critters. If they're "family" with quotation marks, are they really? OK, my turn. I've got idiot renting neighbors who seem to collect new dogs and flophouse folks all the time. Seen six or more cars in the driveway, yard, and down the other side of the street. One of their dogs, a friendly pit mix, got loose when nobody was home. I spent some time trying to bring the dog back home, had no way to put it back in the property, left it... as I came back inside my kitchen, looked out into my fenced yard, the dog had JUMPED my fence and was suddenly communing with my two smaller dogs. Luckily my Basenji didn't feel the need to go Alpha... Plus, they seem to have a loud garage party every other night. One of their friends TALKS LOUD ALL THE TIME, TALKS ALL THE TIME, and has the most annoying laugh. They're on the bubble. If they piss off my Dominican honey, bad news. And we know their landlord. We think the primary renter is a baby daddy who needs the address to send his kid to the better schools here, but the kid gets off the bus, walks next door, and then I'm pretty sure he stays elsewhere, as their parties go into the early AM hours. I also generally know what they pay for rent, and what the two primary renters do for work. Not sure how their $$$ adds up. At this writing we're friendly, but... Don't make me, or especially the Dominican  | ||

Squids, Good questions. I've let my feelings be known to them. Personally and via word of mouth. Their response is: 1. They can take care of themselves, they can eat wild critters and such. 2. They don't have souls. -The implication being they don't deserve to be treated well. But all three households are good, righteous, church going folks mind you. Two of the three are Police Officers, and one is a CO at the local prison. I been asked to take it easy and not cause problems by some of the family members. My brother and aunt have taken to feeding them, so at least they are getting fed. I'm bringing some flea and tick medication to them on Saturday, but can not afford to give them heartgard. | ||

I had a girlfriend that treated her dog horrible. Locked it in a cage in the garage for ever. That is where it stayed. Belonged to her ex-husband who had cheated on her. She talked him into using the same lawyer for the divorce. Divorce paper work was an inch and a half thick. Thing covered him paying for their 2 year old's wedding dress at X amount of dollars, etc. I escaped and should have took the dog with me. I wound up with her because my favorite song was Cambodia performed by Kim Wilde. When I got out of the service I started actively seeking for a Kim Wilde look alike to make my girl friend. She looked just like her. It was on like Donkey Kong. Remind me to tell you about it sometime. | ||

Tried to follow you RD, kinda got lost. In my childhood there was the original Donkey Kong, but my arcade had "Krazy Kong" too. It was a programming knockoff of DK, but there were weird hacks. I know how to kill the pterodactyl in Joust, btw. | ||

"good", "righteous"? Do unto others as you would do unto yourself. Animals have souls. | ||

Wouldn't it be a mess to get to Heaven to find out that the animals that were your pets on Earth are now your masters. And the first thing they do is lock you in the trunk of a car for a few hours to check how you greet them when they let you out. | ||

Squids, Maybe you should "remind" these "good, righteous, church going folks" that god put man in charge of taking care of the animals on this planet and that they belong to god, not man. Psalm 50:10-11 “For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the hills, and all that moves in the field is mine.” We might think we own animals, in particular our pets, but the Bible teaches that these are not actually ours. We are only stewards of what God’s given to us. God owns “every beast” there is, including your cattle or sheep or oxen or whatever else it is you own, including your pets. In fact, everything “that moves in the field is” God’s, so that included everything. The point is we better think about that when we are caring for God’s creatures, whether great or small.

AirB, very good post, but Whisper is the one with the a$%hat relatives.  "His eye is on the sparrow"... I loathe anyone who abuses children, animals. (Message edited by 86129squids on September 13, 2018) | ||

Brad has another kind of good righteous neighbor. Sounds like they are animals. He has the task of the second greatest commandment, Loving his neighbor as himself. Comes right after Loving God with all. We sure are preachy lately. Probably a lack of BBQ. Maybe the Lord is speaking to me? I need to go to Jim's Smokin' Que and bring some back for my neighbor? I'm listening Lord. Bikes got a cop motor in it. Twos is just one month and one week away. | ||

Sorry squids, 2 weeks of 12 hour days and CRAPPY WEAK COFFEE THIS MORNING! (at least this prototype server rack is shipping tomorrow) Oh yeah, that is another of my pet peeve's: If you are going to make coffee, put enough grounds in there to actually do more than color the water. | ||
| 86129squids |
RD, you've been on a roll lately! Maybe some 'cue on a roll would help... ...and airBZB, GAWWD I HATE weak coffee. | ||
| Crusty |
Probably a lack of BBQ. Now THAT'S a serious situation. However, that can be remedied in a month. Less, if you're meeting up with a BBQ cook off Judge on Friday (Tomorrow!) evening! | ||
| Ourdee |
Just RUB it in. | ||

Awright; Don't get saucy with me. | ||

Weak coffee is a travesty to wake up to. I almost always have some from my thermos to nuke while I wait for a fresh pot of French Roast. Sometimes you can't cut corners. Z | ||
| Crusty |
If a spouse makes weak coffee, that can be considered as grounds for divorce. | ||
| Airbozo |
Guess I am doing good then Crusty. The SO sometimes makes coffee so strong the neighbors get the shakes. | ||

 My Dominican sweetie has a Cuban coffee rig, with Café Bustelo handy... put so much hair on my chest I'm a Squatch now. | ||

Signs at stores and restaurants with prices posted with the cent sign on the left of the number and/or the dollar sign on the right side of the number. Did the owners or managers not get past 2nd grade? Duh! | ||
