Comments: If you want to attend something that will make you proud to be an American, go to www.warriorsweekend.org (They have a link to their Facebook page on the web site) If you have a boat and would like to take some wounded soldiers fishing, that would be even better. Port O'Connor is about half way between Houston and Corpus. This is a huge volunteer effort and you will get a lot more out of it than you can imagine. Mark your calendars now, May 21 and 22. Wounded troops come from military hospitals across the country and spend two days away from their daily routine of rehab. It is unbelievable how much they love our country, even after all they have been through. Hope to see you there and I promise there will be no squirrels!
Comments: Loves animals...Loves Fur..? Well , I certainly like the luxurious feel of fur, but now the 'thought' takes on another meaning..I don't think I could wear fur anymore..I'm not a Vegan either. My son does not eat red meat, but he will eat fish or chicken, but we do eat more veggies and fiber than anything else.. I can't do without dairy.. It's also harder being a diabetic, to do without dairy products.. Although, I do it, it is more time consuming and difficult, to make up meals with enough protein without using dairy products.. Animals should have rights...As one friend said, her animals bring her a lot of joy and have helped her work through a 'broken heart'...They give 'unconditional' love...

Comments: Charlotte, I accidentally hit the " post message": when I meant to it hit the "preview" and the only way I could make a correction was to retype the whole paragraph. So I just left it.
Comments: That is (my animals do) haaaaaaa!
Comments: What does looses mean? Do you mean LOSES? The bottom line is animals should have rights too9my animals do) . I am not a Vegan, but have friends that are.....whew!...no thank you!...did I say friends that are???? haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Maybe change that to acquaintances that are. Received a death notice of an acquaintance today.so sad that she is gone too soon...but .."loves animals, but also loves fur too" this was in the paper.............huh???? Also she was an avid hunter....huh again?! loves animals??? hmmm!????? I hope all is well tonight in Bear Land!
Comments: Go to the Existential Primer..( internet) Dostoevsky was obviously from a 'dysfunctional family'. Aren't we all...? He's argued as an existential writer and not an existential writer.
Comments: Dostoevsky is quoted on From All Creatures.org.. What he says 'rings' true.. In this world where we are trying to encourage..green...and protecting endangered species..
Comments: Ginger, Maybe Martha meant Dostovesky looses you in the history, the existentialists philosophy and the descriptive detaisl of his work/novels. I don't know if "sourpuss" is quite the word most people would use to describe him. Russian novelists always give you money's worth. Remember Tolstoy's novel WAR AND PEACE.
Comments: Now Martha, I thought he said some good things.. He was telling us to be good to the animals..and...Humans are the ones that pollute the Earth...I don't get Sourpuss out him..
Comments: What a sour puss Dostoevsky was. Wouldn't you just love being seated by him at a dinner party.
Comments: Here's the whole thing or paragraph..."Love animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Do not trouble their joy, don't harrass them, don't deprive them of their happiness, don't work against God's intent. Man, do not pride yourself on superiority to animals; they are without sin, and you, with your greatness, defile the earth by your apppearance on it, and leave the traces of your foulness after you - alas, it is true of almost every one of us!"
Comments: Love the animals: God has given them the rudiments of joy and thoughts untroubled.. Dostoevsky... (Love that quote)
Comments: Maybe having wild animals calm around humans is not the best idea for their sake..........take that shot gun of yours for example.....ahem...not a good idea. I know it is fun to feed and pet Buddy, but, well you know what I mean.
Comments: Barry, you probably should make cookies and take them to that vet. What a bargain squirrel visit!
Comments: Martha: And, it was only $53 at the vet, not $100.
Comments: There was a Buddy sighting last night. She was coming back from next door, but still took the long route to avoid me. She is walking a little better. I saw her by the deck when we were eating dinner and then she disappeared. There is always food and water on the deck, so sooner or later... And tell those women in East Texas that I am somewhat normal. The nice thing about a squirrel as a pet is that you don't have to make arrangements for them to be cared for if you are out of town. People want to take her picture at the vet's office. And, it's more fun to gain the trust of a wild animal than a domesticated dog or cat. We're working on the Aoudad sheep out at 7R. Now that would be a PET!
Comments: Barry, Buddy is out there secretly thanking you for feeding her and for getting her ailment diagnosed. We have lived with cats who'd shun us for a day or two after a manicure before they'd get all over us again. Fortunately, our current precious babies couldn't care less if we cut their nails. Forget to feed 'em? Then they care. Buddy will show up at your door soon. Trust me on this.
Comments: I don't like that printing 'font' you just used, Char..In fact, I can't figure it out...
Comments: So sorry that the Vet was unable to help Buddy. I sure hope she is able to recover by herself. I bet she will be fine. And I am glad that her babies were still alive too. Thanks for the interesting on goings about Buddy. Keep us posted about her this Spring.
Comments: Peter was very jealous of Mary.. They left a lot of books...out..when they canonized the Bible..One of these days...maybe we'll correct that..
Comments: Ginger, It seems Jesus did a lot to hep further rights for women and was one of our first feminists. If any of you have been watching the history channel recently, you saw the documentary on the book supposedly written by Mary Magdalene. According to this book, Jesus trusted her more than he did the other disciples. She was a founder and leader of the church, but later was negated by early church fathers because she was a woman.
Comments: Barry, I am glad to hear Buddy and her babies are doing well. I told the story of you taking her to the vet and paying $100.00 to have her examined at a brunch here Saturday in East Texas and the laughter could have been heard all the way to Dallas. Wild things are thought of differently here. But they did think you were a nice guy.
Comments: OOH....You guys are going to have a big party..! Hooray for the Presbyterians that ordain women... I served as the PT Choir Director in a small United Methodist Church.. We had 2 female ministers..while I was there.. I heard some left because the 'Bishop' appointed a female.. **Also the Methodists call the Communion Service..The Great Thanksgiving.. One of our ministers was also a musician and she 'sang' The Great Thanksgiving'.. The next female minister comes in and she 'doesn't sing the Communion/ The Great Thanksgiving'. Some people left because of that.. I'm constantly entertained by church members that get 'huffy-puffy' and leave..Some time they have good reasons, some time they don't.
Comments: Just a little update on the SOC Luncheon. We should have at least 125 people there. If you haven't signed up as yet, please do so by April 15th. I have to give the Resturant Mgr a head count so he can staff it so we can get great service. Thanks for your attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comments: Our church is Presbyterian USA and we do ordain women. I'm not sure about the Presbyterian PCA churches. We have both in our area. The history of churches gets very convoluted over the years. We left one church because they got a woman pastor. I'm not sure we left because she was a woman or that we just didn't like her. I hope it was the latter.
Comments: Presbyterians...Smesbyterians..I worked for the Independent Presbyterians for 5 yrs..here.. Did you know that Presbyterians up North...Ordain Women and the Presbyterians down here...Don't...! Well..you know what I think of that.. **I humorously assign groups of people..groups of animals, their own heaven.. ie... Al Capone would go to Mafia Heaven... It's one of my creative...facets..of my brain.. Now...I'm not saying just how 'enjoyable' Mafia Heaven would be.. I definitely think 'Fundamentalists' should have their own heaven...Maybe an Island...and soon.. *** Tongue in Cheek Humor....entertains me..I don't know about anyone else, but it entertains me.. Squirrel Heaven could be good...! ![]()
Comments: Ginger: I don't know if that is good or bad! Presbyterians don't believe that animals go to heaven, so I'm not so sure I want to go to squirrel heaven. Of course, that might be my only choice-squirrel heaven or hell. I don't like the sound of that.
Comments: All my 'smileys' went away..temporarily..I was about to have a 'panic attack'..Jason is reinstalling 'stuff' on my computer.. again...
Comments: Barry..They are going to accept you in 'Squirrel Heaven' because of your efforts... |
