It was so good today....

a ha! I'm sure the cups are out there somewhere

a decision has been reached in my dads case for disability.....gawd i hope its good news it would be the 1st thing to go right for him since the day he went into the hospital!

best of luck to yer pops brah

thanks.....

we all need it. we have been covering for him since may 15th and financially its killing us. we were not prepared. and in the meantime.....the $$ that i get paid for babysitting comes from the state...and the budget didnt get signed for 3 months and the program got suspended. so the little bit of money (485) a month that i had coming in..... went away. double whammy.

I hate gov. beaurocracy...I hope your Dad made it through the system and gets what he needs

That's what sucks about it here. People who need it, cant get it.. but people who abuse it, get it handed to 'em hand over fist. It's a fuckin' shame.

Ohh.. If I ran the world...

Good luck! How old is your dad? Just wondering how soon he could draw SS if the disability doesn't get approved?
My mom started drawing at 62. I was one happy chick when I no longer had to fund her nasty cigarette habit!

INVASION OF THE ANIMALS!!!
Pt1:

I found a mouse in one of the packing cases. WOW that little bugger could JUMP
It kept jumping up about knee-height but falling back into the packing case.
So I threw a little cheese and a slice of an apple in, duc't taped it shut, made some air-holes and the neighbor brought it to a mouse city with the little one (the little one loves mice).
It's called mouse paradise and they collect mice from everyone and let them live in some kind of little zoo

Pt2:

A black panther (the animal, not the activist) broke out of a French zoo half a year ago and has now been sighted on the border of my town
They permitted shooting the kittie cat due to great danger should it decide to enter the city
This is so cool, I feel a little like the B now

Mr Jingles

I love that you're a kind soul Stoney.

But that program is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of! It's not like they are on the brink of extinction. They do a pretty good job of propagating their species all on their own. They are disgusting, nasty creatures that spread disease and cause destruction (and yes, I'm terribly, irrationally frightened of them). Why don't they create a Club Med for cockroaches too while they are at it?? ick ick ick!!

Seriously!?!?!? They're going to kill a cool animal and they provide refuge for rats??!!??!?!? What kind of crazy town do you live in??

rats, roaches, spiders & snakes..

I can handle about anything else.

I can take snakes & spiders, but I'd rather face a zombie than a mouse.

This has nothing to do with being a kind soul actually.
I eat pork. Pigs are smarter than dogs in some ways. There's even pigs serving as "blind dogs".
As long as I eat pigs, I should not make a fuzz about saving a mouse.
It was only because the little one is a fan of mice.

I guess they make money with that mouse town, people can probably visit and watch them (I thought it was an Americ an thing...like, you know,
a Christmas mouse city...I once saw that in a movie...). I don't know since it's not here, the neighbor had to take a trip to where that mouse shelter is anyways.

Also, mice are not rats. Mice don't have those dangerous fleas or anything, and they are not aggressive either.
Rats are an enormous threat to humanity (plague, anyone?), which is why we are so utterly in need of cats.
Mice, on the other hand, are incredibly heart meltingly cute with their big eyes and fast beating hearts and all

boy, you would loved casa de wattage back last winter. I couldnt get rid of em. I caught 8 of em within an hour one night. Set more traps, and had 6 or 7 more that next morning. It took me about a month to get rid of em all. Now I think Ive got one or 2

Well....mice in your home suck, I'll admit that
All the gnawing sounds at night, the excrements and the frayed edges of everything made out of paper...
That's why I caught this one in the first place.


Btw I'd lie to point out part two of the invasion: The black motherfucking panther strolling through Trier.
Beats a mouse any time

yeah. I had the original build sheet to my 70 SS El Camino. (car geek stuff. I used to be a gear head / street racer). When I was going thru some of my things, the mice had gotten ahold of it. Some of my guitar mags from the early 90's on. Threw it all out

I hate when they get into food cabinets and get into food.

No. They're not. Really.
