One more Rant...

60 minutes picked-up on the story...because the case was receiving national attention at the time...All attacking my brother for being a preacher and shotting a dog...in front of police...after a simple dog bite...they were crussiffing him in the press...

He would not explain his story or defend his-self...because he was trying to keep the severity of the damage done to his son...away from our mom...My nephew looked like the monster in Hellraiser...I still shutter thinking of the photos...It still amazes me that they were able to reconstruct his face...Not a hint of a scar...It had to be the quality of the surgoens involved...

I guess my rant is...One part of the press can...sensationalize and create a story that really was not there...They did not talk about the danger that all dogs possess...regardless of size or breed...All dogs are carnivores...

Definition: straight from American Heritage Dictionary
Carnivore:a flesh eating mammal,esp,one of a group including dogs, cats and bears...

I guarantee most people do not include there family dog when thinking about what a carnivore is...The inherent danger of all dogs...was the true story that was never picked-up upon by the press...

60 minutes ran it more as a human interest story...

I guess I hope people reading this...never think of their Dogs in the same way again...It may seen harsh...But it's the truth...

And NO...I do not hate Dogs, or Fear them...I just recognize them for what they are...

And YES...Any Dog that comes after me...Is Dead on the Spot...Period...

Colorado woman selling snow on eBay

LOVELAND, Colo. - Call it a winter sale. Jim and Mary Walker are selling snow on eBay. Starting bids were holding steady Friday at 99 cents for samples from "Blizzard I and Blizzard II."
ADVERTISEMENT

The Walkers got the idea for selling snow after shoveling mounds from two storms a week apart that together dumped more than 4 feet along the Front Range.

"I figured eBay has ghosts and all sorts of weird stuff, so why not snow?" said Mary Walker, who teaches business workshops on employee communications.

How much snow 99 cents or whatever the winning bid gets depends. Walker's auction notice suggests avoiding shipping and handling charges by stopping by their home and picking it up ? in a dump truck.

Only 10 offerings of snow are available and the proceeds are earmarked for a used snowblower for Jim or a pair of shovels.

She says she doesn't really expect to find a buyer for their blizzard overstock.

"We just wanted to just give some folks a laugh," she said.






Ark. man discovers 2.37-carat diamond

MURFREESBORO, Ark. - An Arkansas man has found a 2.37-carat white diamond at the world's only diamond-bearing site where visitors are allowed to search for and keep the gems they find.
ADVERTISEMENT

Gary Dunlap of Jefferson named the diamond he found the Star of Thelma to honor his wife of more than 10 years. Dunlap's find was the fourth-largest diamond found in 2006 at the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro. In all, 486 diamonds have been found at the park this year.

Dunlap found the gem Sunday while looking near a Bois d'Arc tree on the park's 37.5-acre search field. He said he felt certain the shiny stone was a diamond when he picked it up off the ground. Dunlap has visited the park about a dozen times but this was his first diamond find.

In March, a state trooper from Nowata, Okla., unearthed the 4.21 yellow Okie Dokie Diamond. In September, a Point, Texas, couple found the 6.35-carat brown Roden Diamond. The following month, a visitor from Ripon, Wis., found the 5.47-carat yellow Sunshine Diamond.

The largest of the 25,000 diamonds found at the park since it became a state park in 1972 is the 16.37-carat Amarillo Starlight. A visitor from Texas found the white diamond in 1975.

Pit Bull Attacks Child In Modesto

A toddler is recovering at University of California Davis Medical Center in Sacramento after being attacked Sunday by a pit bull in Stanislaus County.

Paramedics who responded to the scene in Modesto said the 3-year-old girl lost a critical amount of blood during the attack, which left bite marks and scratches on the girl's face and upper body.

Sheriff's deputies said the girl likely survived thanks to the quick actions of her father and the dog's owner. The Sheriff's Department said the same dog also lunged at a deputy who was responding to the incident. The deputy was forced to shoot and kill the animal.

The dog's owner will likely not face any charges, the Sheriff's Department said.

My bitch of the day:

My mom is sending me mixed signals about getting a girlfriend. Yesterday I spent most of the day hanging out with my soon-to-be girlfriend. We went bowling, played some video games and watched a movie.

My mother however, when I got home asked me "Did you kiss her"? and I said "No, it didn't feel right tonight" well my mom then said "Why not, she is a real cute girl and you two would be good together" She then said "At least your not rushing things". Then just before I went to bed she brought up the kissing thing again. That time sounding like she wants me to kiss this girl.

Eh, who knows, I figured I will wait until her B-Day (approx. a week away) and take her flowers and give her a kiss.

What do you think? Should I go for it or not? My heart a time or two has told me to try and kiss her (like when I left her house last night) but I just am not sure.

Peace

If you feel like she is giving you the signal...then go ahead and give her a kiss...

Waiting till her B-Day is not a bad idea either...I have found that restraint can be a good thing as well...I wished I had practiced it a little when I was young...I was the ultimate hound...I was a very...very...bad boy...

Regardless it sounds like it is time...If she will allow you to kiss her next week...she will allow it this week...

First Girlfriend?

Everything Estuansis said below is excellent advice...take a chance!!!

You're 18 I presume?

Go for it! If I learned anything from my time with girls it's that they love surprises.

Maybe sometime during the week(at school/at her front door) bring her flowers and kiss her. Then ask her to go with you to do something on her birthday.

Then on her birthday take her a rose and take her out. Like a nice evening at the local country kitchen, then a movie. Make it a chick flick and cry when something sad comes on.

If you have/can get the money that might be a decent idea

Or you can ask what she wants to do. Might just end up being the above idea.

Some girls like simple things like dinner and a movie. Other girls like concerts. Find a local hall and hit up a performance. Even if the music is bad it could still be fun.

I've done both and it has worked wonders for this sixteen year-old. My girlfriend was found screwing another guy and we broke up. But when I was with her I was truly happy.

Take chances early in life while you can. Someday chances could screw you over instead of just getting you rejected.

hey guys,

its been a while, but im glad to be back. I felt really unwanted on AD for a while because
1)I love xbox and halo 2 modding and almost nobody else here does or even has a modded xbox
2)When I was looking for actors and voice talents, none could be found. All talent was sucked dry
3)most people here are into computers, not consoles, so i feal extremely left out.
_____________________________________________________________________-
Thats about all the reasons I was gone. Are all the same people still here?

Thanks Lp531 and Estuansis! :)

@Lp531, nope this will be my second. First one was my junior year and I just graduated last June. I am not much of a "go out and get them" type of person.

@Estuansis:
Yep, I am 18 and she will be too on the 11th.

That makes me feel very good because I actually had that same idea, its good to hear that someone else shares some of my thought process. :p

Yeah! :) If she isn't busy with family stuff then I will probably do something like that. If she is then dropping her place and giving her a rose and some chocolate or something might be a good idea too. :)

Peace and thanks for the 'feedback'

@Pop_Smith,
figure out which one of your classmates is going to grow up and be a lawyer, bribe him/her with lunch goodies. It'll come in handy 12 years from now during the divorce proceedings. =)

Its true, I might wait until it feels like she is giving me the signal, rather then just my heart telling me to do it. But I will keep everyone here "in the know" when the kiss occurs. :p

That is one of the things that makes me real angry, people who blame others for their mistakes when in reality the person being yelled at had nothing to do with it.

So true. :p :)
