And thanks for dropping by. I stopped by your blog and it is a group blog, is it not?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I think that hunting has a place - maybe in the way you mention. However, for 99% of hunters in the US, it is just a blood sport. No where else do we use killing as an excuse to benefit the group as a whole - except for maybe abortion. How's that for an incendiary remark?Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060441484392165488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26615740.post-37295469374498264472008-03-18T08:35:00.000-05:002008-03-18T08:35:00.000-05:00Brian: Yeah, I am a sucker for animals - which is...Brian: Yeah, I am a sucker for animals - which is better than eating animal suckers.<BR/><BR/>Sayre: Well, the sister is in the nursing home.

Go with the path laid in front of you and you'll be fine. <BR/><BR/>Sorry about your dog, poor guy :( I'm not a fan of hunting for hunting sake but I've worked among the native populations and the old ways treated the creatures with respect, used every bit of them for meat, clothing and art and wasn't at all Ted Nuggent. Can't STAND that guy! Yuck. So I've become a little less anti-hunting than I used to be. Especially when the hunters throw at me how they'd rather eat their free range, grass fed, chemical antibiotic free deer than anything found in the market.Hannah Specterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06465196465523984634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26615740.post-86803361165798037102008-03-16T19:35:00.000-05:002008-03-16T19:35:00.000-05:00You're a doer.Doer suffers from doing too much.

Sometimes that stuff rubs off. One year at his birthday party, he was calling EVERYONE dude. Even my mom. It was hilarious! So every once in a while, when I know I need to lighten up, I call someone "dude". You got to be the guy.<BR/><BR/>As for your sister, I can understand how she might fight if her idea of nursing homes is as a place to die. It is an unfortunate mindset, as nursing homes are also there to help someone get stronger and more able to live on their own. It's not necessarily giving up independence for good - just for a little while so that you can actually KEEP it. Of course, I don't know her whole story, so I can't really say how that applies to her situation.Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350593991157139017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26615740.post-87564244308978871252008-03-13T21:50:00.000-05:002008-03-13T21:50:00.000-05:00It makes me sick to hear about animals being in pa...It makes me sick to hear about animals being in pain like this.

Recently, I saw the video of those people who abused the cattle in the recent beef recall. There were guys that kicked and beat the cattle and made me sick. The only reason I can eat meat now is because of the disconnect. Still, eating already slaughtered meat is a bit different than going out and killing beautiful, defenseless animals.<BR/><BR/>The nature of our political system in this country is to use every little thing as a weapon - unfortunately.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060441484392165488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26615740.post-28972386764745081252008-03-12T18:57:00.000-05:002008-03-12T18:57:00.000-05:00Are you waiting for me to defend the hunter? ;-) ...Are you waiting for me to defend the hunter? ;-) Ok, this particular one is most likely an imbecile; but overall I support hunting. I mean, are you a vegetarian or something....because beautiful animals get slaughtered everyday. But seriously, my dad and brothers used to hunt a lot, and we always ate what they brought home. And they're not your stereotypical hunter-type; they are educated, well-bred, and civilized individuals. Now, hunting is not some hobby I would ever take up, but if others enjoy it, then so be it.<BR/><BR/>Sorry about your dog though. Poor thing.<BR/><BR/>I think you're right about the Obama thing. And isn't it sad when candidates get so, political? Why can't they just be themselves and not worry so much about offending?<BR/><BR/>As per the flu....I think there's just some nasty bugs going around. I was hit with a doozy this year.

I hadn't thought of B but have some. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Sayre: You can sound a little rough all you want. ;) I don't mind. I'm doing all I can do. Trust me, I don't LOOK for more things to do. :)<BR/><BR/>I don't begrudge my sister for fighting for her independence. People tend to believe that nursing homes are places where people go to die. I am glad that she isn't giving up. It would be too easy to do that.<BR/><BR/>You are right about God. I am not even asking for anything but to be aligned with and to have peace with his will. Surely, He isn't saying "no" to that. lol<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to hear someone defending the hunter. :)<BR/><BR/>You called me "Dude". LOL You don't seem like a "dude" person.

Find something that works for you and DO it. You will be happier, your lip will be happier and your wife will be happier. No one likes living with a martyr - and the stress of your life seems to be pointing you in that direction. Take something for yourself. Time. Space. Attitude. SOMETHING. You need it because if you don't, you won't last and that would be a shame.<BR/><BR/>Your sister doesn't want to go into a nursing home? Well, who does? It's an admission of needing help. Guess what? She probably does - the kind of help that it's too hard to get outside if that's what's being recommended. Can she do it on a temporary basis? Who pays? There are lots of questions to be answered there and sometimes the right answer isn't necessarily something she will like. <BR/><BR/>God seems to work the same way. A lot of times the answer to a prayer is no. Not because God doesn't like you or think that you need whatever it is you're praying for - but because you need the lesson of working through whatever it is yourself.<BR/><BR/>Poor Marley!!! I dislike hunters already - now I have even more reason. I hope the next vet has some ideas of how to ease his pain.<BR/><BR/>Sorry if I sound a little rough - I guess I got up in a pragmatic mood today.Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350593991157139017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26615740.post-53718605718361499422008-03-11T17:38:00.000-05:002008-03-11T17:38:00.000-05:00Poor Marley!

They hunt the pheasants (that eat the bread in our garden), the fox (that nips through the garden now and then) and probably the deer and bunnies we have nibbling the lawn on spring mornings. I hate the sound of the gunshots. :-(<BR/><BR/>Re cold sore - They occur when your body overheats - as in a temperature (being ill) or even if you go to the beach and tan. It's all in your body going over a certain temperature and being run down.<BR/><BR/>ince you can't slow down and rest try taking vitamin C and Vitamin B to boost your immunity. Echinacea helps too. <BR/><BR/>I used to get sick every Christmas in Africa - due to similar family work overload at that time (grandparents in and out of hospital and assorted other family illness and stress) I had bronchitis twice, throat infections regularly and pneumonia once. The Vitamin C taken with Echinacea helped me fight back.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284595314525240584noreply@blogger.com
