  • Grocery Store Checkout Lines?

    Does anybody get frustrated with food stores having 3 or more "no clerk" check out lines and NO assisted lines? I have waited 20 min or longer for a clerk assisted line to open along with a dozen or more others (melting Ice Cream in cart) etc.and when used most of the non clerk lines required assistance to complete the transaction,it seems all of the big chain stores are doing this now.what do you think.

  • He was just a kitty wet and hungry?

    when he first came into our lives..abandoned by his owners in a neighboring apartment complex.He was mostly Siamese along with who knows what else, dirty and smelly like the Tom cat he was,we fed him when he came around and he would sleep under our bed now and then,but never staying long.

    When it came time for us to move he was out doing Tomcat things and we left him behind,but one of our friends soon told us that he was with her and had been injured in a fight so we came back and found that he had an abscess on his cheek. Well anyway $375.00 later we had a "snipped" bathed and somewhat angry ex Tomcat living with us.

    For about 3 weeks yowling constantly "Harpo" as my wife named him adjusted to becoming a inside cat,the vet said he was about two years old when treated.

    Harpo became a loving friend to both of us and got along well with our cats that came later.Age though catches up with all of us and it caught up with him..first came thyroid problems which we were able to treat and old age which we were not,we watched him get older ,weaker,losing weight,but still a happy kitty.

    Finaly though we knew his time was close as he stopped eating and just slept all the time,there was no pain at the end we just awoke one morning and he was on his favorite blanket and it was over,we had him for Fifteen Years.Our vet kindly is holding him in cold storage until we can have him cremated (alone) and we will put his ashes along side Squeeky who left us in 2004,also very old.

    I write this not for sympathy...but to simply say that this is the price one pays for having the love of an animal ,being as responsible towards that animal as one could be financially and morally be...giving love and receiving love and trust in return...but sometimes i selfishly wonder if it's worth the pain i feel at the end.

    We have two other cats and God willing will go through this again..we are old two now (sixties) and pray we out last them ,as they are so spoiled we fear no one would take them.

    What i ask and wonder about is this..how many of you out there care enough to face this kind of loss over and over again..just to receive the love a pet can give you?

  • Have any of you had or have a Marriage like this one?

    Why don't you wash those dirty little feet

    Why don't you comb yer hair

    You look like the pitchers thet they use

    When there try'n to raise money fer C.A.R.E.

    Why don't you soke those dishpan hands

    Why don't you clean yer nails

    If i'da known you were fallin' apart

    I'da never gotcha out on bail

    Why doncha burn that shabby little dress

    And burn thet apron too

    The cows'll go dry an the hens won't lay

    If they ever git a look at you

    Why don't you put some makeup on

    When we go out on a date

    When you gotta use the scales at the cotton gin

    You can bet that yer over weight

    Why don't you try to smile now an then

    So the kids'll stop leavin home

    If yer ever spotted by the guvermint

    They'll declare you a disaster zone

    But no matter what yer the best wife ive got

    And i love you i must confess

    It's true thet you have a fault here an there

    But nobodys perfict i guess-nobodys perfict i guess.

    All misspellings(he he ) intended.

  • This is a song/poem i heard in vietnam while waiting for the "freedom bird" to take me home?

    Well--here i am,waitin' for the bird,

    That will take home,

    It's been a long long time,

    I'm goin' home where i can live again,

    All i left behind,is waiting there for me.

    I hope it still will be the same,

    When i get home it's been a long long time,

    And things can change--re-arrange

    Oh be so strange to me. I won't forget,the place i leave behind,

    The pain and misery will never leave my mind,

    I hope it still will be the same,

    When i get home it's been a long long time,

    And things can change, re-arrange'

    Oh be so strange to me.

    I hear the sound, of that freedom bird,

    Com'in down the way,

    It won't be long now til' i'm in the world,

    It's been a long long time,

    It's been a long long time,

    It's been a long long time. This is for the lads still fighting in another war ---and waiting for their " freedom bird"

  • I read a lot of questions asked by young people about the meaning of love?

    May be I'm old fashioned but this song made sense,if you want it to be real and last (married 25 yrs.) As i was out walking one late lonely night---looking for something like love---a beautiful lady appeared at my side with loveliness dreams are made of---she looked in my eyes and she saw through my mind she said i know what you need---she held my face in the palm of her hand and whispered these words to me---i will love you completely with all that i am--i will love you without restraint--i will love you because of the love i can give --not for the love i can take--all for the love i can give and not for the love i can take---she drew me down softly and held me so close--it was almost a dream coming true--but as we lay closely in each others arms--something was missing i knew---then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said--if you want all that love can be--just as i have given myself up to you --so you must give yourself to me--and i will love you completely with all that i am i will love you with out restraint--i will love you because of the love i can give --not for the love i can take--all for the love i can give --not for the love i can take--I woke with a start in the depths of the dark--and i found it was only a dream--and i realized as i looked in your eyes--that you were right there beside me--and we were all linked in a loving embrace--you and the vision and i--and i swear by the lesson i learned in my dream--i'll love you like this till i die---i will love you completely with all that i am-- i will love you with out restraint--i will love you because of the love i can give --not for the love i can take--all for the love i can give --not for the love i can take_________________This song is called The Dream By Mike Cross. and the question is does anyone see the lesson here and how it could relate to your own relationship ?
