Author Topic: Well, I guess a big heart counts for something? Leonard HMFIC Member # 2 posted July 31, 2012 01:01 PM                       Her cats dragged in a field mouse and when she first saw it, she thought it was dead. It scooted away and she could see that one leg was trailing, useless. She picked it up and it bit her. Her daughter attempted to pick it up and it bit her, as well. So, she did what any conscientious person would do and called the wildlife rescue who said to contact the Humane Society, which she did. They arrived a short time later, picked up the patient and told me that she hopes they splint the leg and return it to the wild....... This is a true story, told to me by my daughter, yesterday. She's 46 and my granddaughter is 19, you would think they would know better? I can't really explain my reaction and attitude but did mention that mice have plague and other things that could be transmitted by a bite; even if the poor little creature was trying to defend itself. It's hard to believe that such a lame zen type philosophy developed right under my nose. What could I say? Should have raised her on a farm or somewhere she might have learned something useful. Good hunting. El Bee The boys are all natural born killers. -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All. Don't piss me off!

I hope the bleeding heart Humane Society explained that danger, and are smart enough to keep a close watch on that poor little creature for ten days. -------------------- If you call the coyotes in close, you won't NEED a high dollar range finder.

But, when they have their mind set, it just causes too much conflict to argue the issue, so I adopt a serene attitude, like it could be worse. She's a very good daughter, good marriage, good kids, good husband of 21 years in August. On the other hand, I was talking to a long time school chum a few days ago and the subject came up. He voted for Obama and I was damned near speechless, told him I needed to go lay down for a while. He did say that it probably won't happen again so he has not totally lost his mind. Good hunting.

Seems like I heard a similar story recently. Can't recall all the details but the rescuer got bit and died from something the rescuee bestowed upon him. That's gratitude for ya. Sure hope your gals fare better. Posts: 940 | From: AZ | Registered: Oct 2010  |  IP: Logged Leonard HMFIC Member # 2 posted July 31, 2012 06:31 PM                       Yes, I know. But, this is the same daughter that had a damned eagle drop a fawn right in front of her car. She loaded it in the car and took it to her vet. It died shortly thereafter, punctured lung. You would not believe the money she spends on her dogs and cats, last cat had his cancerous leg amputated; I think she said $6,000 hospital bill. As far as I'm concerned, that's crazy. Good hunting.

She ended up spending several days in the hospital over it. Seems that `Cat Scratch Fever` is more than just a Ted Nugent song. She was pretty sick there for a while. Hope that your kin-folk are ok. Getting bit by anything can be bad. -------------------- And lo, the Light of the Trump shown upon the Darkness and the Darkness could not comprehend it.

Those "hot tubbers" are decidedly Liberal and "green". It's actually beautiful but the politics would drive me completely nuts. Nanc would have liked to move up there, to be close. I wasn't sure we could afford it, among other considerations, but you always want to take the spouse's opinions seriously. Good hunting.

I have been pretty much a cripple since I had bunions cut off from both feet on July 2nd, so my mood hasn't been too friendly I'm afraid. Although I am glad that I had it done, my advise to those over 60 who ask what they should do about their bunions is this.---Buy wider shoes and live with em. -------------------- If you call the coyotes in close, you won't NEED a high dollar range finder.

Leonard, considering your comments above, I sure hope you never see Admiral William McRaven's interview by Wolf Blitzer, where the subject of the interview was the Bin Laden raid, etc..

Except, it was a red fox and it dropped it in a field down the street from my house. I ran the eagle off, took the fox home, skinned it and sewed up the damage. Sold it for $20. We must come from different worlds. Congratulations, Rich. 52 years is something to be proud of. As far as the bunions, I can say the same thing about your gallbladder. If it isn't hurting you, keep it. If it's only bad enough that it puts you on the crapper every time you eat, you ain't seen nothing yet. You'll spend a year or more familiarizing yourself with the tile on the wall across from the the toilet every 20 minutes or so. Never have I read more books than I did in the 6 months after surgery. Lying bastards said it was an organ I can get along without. [ August 01, 2012, 07:31 PM: Message edited by: Cdog911 ] -------------------- I am only one. But still, I am one.

Remember J.F.K.??? Remember "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country"??? One doesn't hear that coming from the party of public welfare much these days. Remember Hubert Humphrey?? Go listen to some of his old speeches. He was a goofy bastard but he was more conservative than our recent standard bearer, John McCain. Before the democrats were taken over by the corrupt Daly political machine out of Chicago they actually stood for moral values, but somewhere along the line they adopted the 'Big Tent' philosophy and embraced every wacko fringe group, living or dead, in existence for the sake of votes & power. It's been a sad, shameful road downhill that they've taken. Ok, end of rant.......back to picking on the CDude. Lance, Regarding this crime that you've already confessed to; did it or did it not take place while you were on 'Tax-payer Time'??? What we need here is an investigation.
