Hitler the Vegetarian

I saw a video this morning and it was comparing Hitler to Einstein. It was another video about vegetarianism. It is a known fact that both Hitler and Einstein were vegetarians. The vegetarian community accepts the idea that Einstein was a vegetarian, but they reject the fact that Hitler was also a vegetarian. This is a common argument among vegetarians, vegans and non-vegetarians. So let's look. Einstein was indeed a vegetarian, but only for the last year of his life. Though he promoted the idea that a vegetarian diet is healthier than a diet that includes more meat, he himself did not follow that diet until the last year of his life, and that's hardly long enough to have any impact on who he was.

Now, Hitler was another story. He began his life favoring liver dumplings and ham sandwiches. But as he grew older, it is confirmed that he was a devoted vegetarian. The only people who say Hitler was not a vegetarian, are vegetarians. Yet they don't mind admitting that Einstein was indeed a vegetarian. They will just not tell you that he only turned vegetarian on the last year of his life.

So why is that? Why do they deny Hitler was a vegetarian and not Einstein? It's simple. Hitler was evil, and Einstein wasn't. Vegetarians want to deny Hitler was a vegetarian because he was an evil person who killed people and lacked compassion. So, it's bad publicity for their cause to tell people "Hey! Did you know Adolph Hitler was a vegetarian?" People looking at them from the other side would think "Wait a minute! If Hitler was a vegetarian, then that's not a good thing. He killed people!" But vegetarians do not tell people that. Instead, they tell people that he was a failed vegetarian. Or that he was not a vegetarian for long. And I am sorry, but I've seen enough vegans (all fanatics) who acted just like Hitler. Denying something does not make it "go away", nor does it dissipate facts. The facts are there, they happened, and there is no denying them.

If you want a long list of vegetarians/vegans who have committed crimes that have hurt people, look at ARA groups. There is one guy who is a member of some Animal Liberation Front who has killed several people. People who support those groups, like PETA, condone such acts. Just like Hitler condoned the killing of thousands of Jewish people during WW2. Also, look at some of the fanatical vegans who have commented on my videos. You can never get me to believe those people are vegans because they feel compassion, I don't care how often they say it. Actions speak louder than words. I always say that, and I always mean it because it's true. A person is NOT compassionate if they are poking fun at other people and calling them names just because said person does not follow their lifestyle. I can honestly say I have never done anything like that. Well, at least not since I was in my 20s. But that's a totally different story. 20-year olds are always going to be 20-year olds. I don't think I've ever met anyone in their 20s that did not get pissed because someone else didn't agree with them! LOL!

I think the first course of action is to remind these fanatics what the word "compassion" really means! This is what Dictionary.com says about it: "a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering." Nowhere in this meaning does it say "unless the person is fat" or "unless the person disagrees with your lifestyle". And I've never heard any true vegans affix those into the meaning. So these fanatics, like MsPearlsGirl and mockmcmuffin, may be vegans, but don't try to get me to believe they are in it for "compassion". Because they're NOT. I say, don't even try to go there with me! Well, mockmcmuffin is in it because he likes to have sex with animals. LOL! MsPearlsGirl is in it for ALL the wrong reasons! She was the epitome of what a fanatical vegan is. If you look up "fanatic" in a dictionary, there would be a picture of MsPearlsGirl, probably holding a knife in her hand and the decapitated body of a non-fanatical vegan by her side and she'd be thinking "I wish I was more like you, but I'm not. I'm a retarded, obsessed wacko!" LOL! She'd be right, too! She could never get me to believe she has any degree of compassion. Not even a little bit! I'll tell you this, I practice much more compassion than MsPearlsGirl, mockmcmuffin, and all those other fanatics all put together. Because when I comment on a video, I try to make friends. I don't start off picking on other people or harassing them. Now, I'm definitely not saying I want to make friends with fanatical vegans! I'd sooner make friends with Adolph Hitler than them! But I'm just saying that my example is how a truly compassionate person works. Everyone has their own journey in life that they need to follow. I let them go their way, and I go mine. I don't interfere, and as long as they are not hurting me or my friends or family, I do not harass.

Geez, if I was really to get a dollar for every time I "used the word fanatic in some form in my posts", I would have cleaned-up with that last paragraph! LOL! But like I said, I will always call them out. But yes, judging by the actions of these uncompassionate dumbasses, I would much sooner believe Hitler was a vegetarian, than not. Because these people I mentioned act just like he did.

UMG Productions Site Temporarily Down

I had to take the UMG Productions site down for a little while as changes are being made to the site. You can no longer download any of our e-books and I am trying to fix that now. It was not hacked into or anything, I just have to set up for the site to accept digital payments and give digital downloads from another site other than PayLoadz. I have no idea how long this will take, hopefully no longer than a week or so. But I will make an announcement once the site will be up and running again.

On another note, I managed to finish 2 stories this week! That has been unheardof since I started this project! I finished the story about the twister, and I also finished a story that is a twist on a classic. The story is called The Lemur and the Mouse. It's a twist of the story of the Lion and the Mouse. But instead, I made the main character a lemur, because lions are ugly. And I also made another twist to the story. It has a totally different ending than the story about the lion. You all might be surprised! It's not a sad ending, in fact, it's a very happy ending. I was thrilled when I wrote it how good it came out, if I do say so myself! LOL! I'm not saying that to toot my own horn either. I'm saying it because one, I have to. LOL! And two, because it is true. I don't rate my stories based on what I believe. I rate stories based on what other people have told me in the past. Remember, I used to share these stories with the general public. And I am still looking to get more opinions. I'm still looking for volunteers to read each story and rate. I mean, true ratings! Not false ratings like what Hobofart gives! What I need are random strangers to look at each story and give their absolute, most honest opinions. I was hoping to find that here. Maybe I still can.

My partner and I are working on a whole new site for the UMG Productions project, and this will allow only people who are members to download each story, and only people who have bought that story to rate each one. It's more secure than what there is now. My supervisor asked me to take off the rating system because Hobofart and his stupid cronies kept going in there and giving each story negative feedback, and he's never even read any of the stories. So, the new site will only allow members who have bought each story to rate. Thusly no more false-flagging. If Hobofart wants to downrate each story, he'll have to pay for the privilege. But he needen't worry. He's a rich little mama's boy. Or so he admitted! LOL! BTW, Hobofart, when did you move to Newark? Or did you lose your job in the other place? Well, membership is totally free. He'll just have to pay for each book before he can rate. As soon as he buys the book, he can downrate all he wants to! No one pays any attention to him anyway. I even told my supervisor all about him and his little dream-world. hehehe!

Do Sane People Keep Blogs?

LOL! I remember a long time ago, when the delusional mods forum was up, a person who called herself "incognito" (it was really Vicki, ya know, the girl who had the big tattoo of the men of INXS on her arm) asked if sane people actually keep blogs. hehehe! I was probably the first person she ever "met" that kept a daily blog back then. The funny thing is, I wonder what she is saying now? Everyone keeps a blog! Big businesses keep blogs, so do a lot of news sites, television stations online, etc. etc. etc. I knew this blogging was going to become a BIG thing! That's why I started keeping them. Even Google it's self keeps a blog. Everyone uses Google. Even if "incognito" doesn't, I don't think Google would miss her! Google has many other followers! It's the biggest search engine there is. I personally think if you don't keep a blog, you're insane. Either that, or you're still in the dark ages. My sis even has a blog. She doesn't write in it much, but she still has it. I still see it there.

I don't write everything in this blog, but I do write a lot about some of the more interesting thoughts, happenings and ideas I have. Not every interesting idea though. Story ideas I tend to keep to myself for example. Or I only share them with my comrades. Only stories that are already completed and put up on the site will I share every idea with. Then there are some things I don't care to discuss anywhere. Like my medical conditions. Though I had one fanatical vegan troll ask me yesterday if I was on medications because I talk slow. I told her I never thought YouTube was some kind of verbal race or anything. My boyfriends always found my slower speech sexy. I just told her yes I am on meds, and they may have had a hand in making me talk slower. I did not tell her what kind of meds, or what they are for though, because I feel that is none of her business! Especially since she's nothing but a troll. I think she was in some way connected with this guy who calls himself "mockmcmuffin". I blocked him because he's weird! He finds Gary Yourofsky sexually attractive. And he has sex with his cat too. So he's a vegan because he finds animals sexually attractive, as well as a psycho, skinny wimp like Gary Yourofsky. Well, he can have him! He can have his cat's dick too, I don't want it! I love animals, but not that much!!! LOL! And I don't want to see him doing it either. So, I blocked him. And I blocked his little friend too, because I believe they are in some way associated. She also said she wished she had a dollar for every time I use the word "fanatic" in any form to describe the nutty vegans that get on my videos. I told her "Shoot! I wish I had a dollar for every fanatical vegan who has come to this channel to gripe!" Even if I just got a nickel for every fanatical vegan I've encountered, just on YouTube, I'd still be a rich woman!

I really do not like blocking people. Although people who practice beastiality, it gives me pleasure to block them! I don't want to see or hear about that! LOL! I can tolerate gays, but I don't tolerate any form of beastiality! As for my slow speech, I don't know how I got that, if it's just something I picked up, or if it really came from taking those meds. I can talk faster, I just choose not to, and I think it stuck in my mind from practicing it all these years. Truly, the meds may have had a hand in making me talk slower. But I think it was more learned than induced. I used to watch a lot of Lorne Greene, and he was also a slow talker too. I used to find his voice really sexy. MUCH sexier than his looks!

OK, I am not trying to convince anyone that I am more sane than anyone else, because as an artist and a writer, I am not supposed to be sane!!! And in fact, I like being a little bit crazy. Makes me feel good! But at least I don't do anything like try to kill people, or have sex with animals, or repeatedly stick my fingers in a light socket while submersed in water. LOL! I believe in living my life the way I want, but those are the places I draw the line.

Songs on my MP3 Player

I thought this would be a cool subject. One of my friends on Facebook asked what the most surprising song is on our players. Like if we were to show off our music, which songs would you be embarrassed to have one of your friends hear on your player (assuming your friends know what songs/singers you like or don't like). I actually have several songs that people I know would be shocked to know I have. Among those, Michael Jackson. I was never a big fan of Michael Jackson's. Though he used to be kinda cute when he was younger, and I don't deny he was a good singer. He has a few good songs out there. The songs of his that I have is Bad and Black or White. But I always told my friends that I don't like Michael Jackson as a person or a performer. He looked nice when he was a kid, but then he went and had all them surgeries, and then he was ugly. He danced a lot, but I guess I'm just not into his kind of dancing. But looking back now, I must say he danced a lot better than these modern kids do now.

Well, really that's just one singer that I have on my player. There are really many more than that. My MP3 player is basically a collection of songs that I loved throughout my life. Some I admittedly have not heard since I was a little kid. I have a LOT of INXS. But that should be no surprise! Each and every song on there is there because it brings back some kind of memories, whether it is a fleeting memory of the 3-story duplex we used to live in, or the memory of Anna and I having our musical playroom where we always listened to music, or the memory of that old family room we used to have and I would go back there and play music every day, even on sunny days, which is rare for me now. Sunny days I'd much rather go walking, and I don't have my MP3 player with me when I go walking. Some other highly surprising songs I have on my player are Sugar, Sugar by the Archies, I Can Feel Your Heartbeat by the Partridge Family, and some other songs from the 60s that were childish in nature. But again, each one brings back some memories. I used to love the Archies when I was growing up, and I had another friend as a child that also loved them a lot. There was a character named Veronica in the series, and this kid's name was also Veronica, so she was a big fan of the Archies, and used to collect the comic books every week as well. So the song does bring back some good memories.

I can't explain why I have a song by the Partridge Family though! LOL! I had a crush on Keith as a 5 year old child. LOL! I used to have the album, and played it constantly, and that song stuck out as one of my favorites, so I downloaded it. Some of the more surprising singers I have songs from on this MP3 player are Kenny Rogers, Faith Hill and Johnny Cash (considering I don't really care for country music). I have a couple songs by Faith Hill, only one each by Kenny Rogers and Johnny Cash though. The songs are good, even though I don't really care for those people as singers. It's not them, it's just their style. I normally don't like country music. That's for old folks! LOL! Though moving here to Montana, I noticed even the teenagers listen more to country music than to rock n roll. That's one reason why I feel I don't fit in here! I only like a few songs in the country music genre. I'm mostly a rocker girl. Though I prefer old fashioned rock as opposed to the mess you hear today.

Well, before the snow hit, we went into Billings and had some last-minute fun!! I went to this pet shop in Billings that I always go to because they are the ones that carry the most unique freshwater fish. I was hoping to find more pencilfish, but no such luck! There were like 2 pencilfish in a tank mixed with neons, and they were the only 2 left. One looked healthy, and was swimming around, the other looked sicker, and stayed by the filter. The guy said they just got a load of bad pencilfish with that shipment, and they had all mostly died off. Those two were the last ones, and 7 others that were in the tank that morning had already died before we got there. He said if I wanted the last 2 pencilfish, he'd just give them to me, so I said OK. So he bagged them up and I pointed out some other fish I wanted. They had marbled hatchetfish, and I haven't seen those since I lived in Olympia!! Of course when I lived in Ocean Shores it doesn't count because I didn't have a fishtank then. So I got some of those. I started off just wanting about 5 of them (a decent-sized school), but after he gathered that many, there was only one marbled hatchetfish left. Since they are schooling fish, just one individual would not sell. So, he just gave me the 6th one. I also saw a farlowella in the same tank with the hatchetfish. I have not seen those ever before! And usually when I do, the stores want $15 or more for them! This one was selling for only $10, so I got him! I wanted some other kind of algae eater in there, besides these boring-looking chinese algae-eaters! Farlowellas are very long, thin relatives of plecostomus, they are super strange-looking, but that's what I like.

Well today I still have the farlowella, all the marbled hatchetfish, and one of the pencilfish. And yes, the one remaining pencilfish is the one that I noticed looked healthier than the other. Well, at least he will keep my other well-established pencilfish company. All his other comrades died as well, soon after I got them. But he survived, just like this new little guy. And the new one is even eating good. It's a shame I lost the other one, then I could have had 3 of them, instead of just 2. 3 individuals would have made a much better school of pencilfish.

The Monster of Montana

Well, I've been hearing for a while about this monster, exclusive to Montana. It comes creeping out of nowhere, masked by the midnight sky, ready to strike without any hint of a warning. It can be dangerous, deadly and ferocious, and will smite you without any mercy if you are caught in it's path. You think you are safe from it, but you're not. No one is! And guess what? It came to my area today. Just yesterday, everything was fine and dandy, though I had gotten the warning of it's approach. I just brushed it off as "Ah! It can't happen here! Not now!" But it came. I woke up this morning and looked out my window, and there it was! OH NO!! And I never suspected for a second it would come today!! The monster made it's way here just today! You want to run away, but there is no place to run! No place to hide! Grab your children and get inside as fast as you can! The monster is here!! Yup. That's right. It snowed last night! I'm getting my first glimpse of Montana snow. Everyone says it's snow like you won't find anywhere else. I believe them! It's cold like I've never felt before. And the locals say today is nothing! It gets much colder as winter approaches closer. So far, we've got about 3 inches of snow. Some has already turned to slush, but it is still very cold out there!

Yesterday when I was at the dog park, everyone was saying it was going to snow tonight. I could not believe it because it was so warm outside at that time. I told them there wasn't a cloud in the sky, it could not possibly snow. Besides, where ever I move to, it never gets that cold. Ocean Shores never experienced 90 degree days until I got there! That's what I miss about Ocean Shores. 90 degree days were almost unheard of. But last year we had about 3 days of 90+ degree weather. One day it got up to 93 degrees. But always, after a day like that, the following day would be cool and cloudy. And I miss that! Well, this morning I knew I was going to get a razzing from my buddies at the dog park, and boy! They never let me hear the end of it! LOL! They kept mocking my saying "It's not cold enough to snow!" Well! It wasn't yesterday! I did get pissed though when that guy Andy started teasing me. I don't care if my buddies do it, but I don't appreciate Andy putting in his two cents, which I never did, and never would, ask him for! He's not my friend and I'm not his. He blew that himself! I almost smacked him with the dog crap scooper. Karen may be able to forgive him, but I sure as Hell won't! Not for something he started himself. If I was rude to him first, I would be different, but I never did anything to him, I was always nice to him, and he was rude to me for no reason. Not only that, but he sets my sis up and I hate that! Then he turns and growls at her. Dissing my family will get anyone on my bad side quicker than anything! And once they are there, they stay there! Takes an act of GOD to get me to feel otherwise.

Well, 3 inches of snow out there now and it's still snowing. I'm going to have to try and go shopping today because I need some things that I am almost out of. I haven't driven in the snow in a long time either! This is going to be quite an experience.

Too Much Negativity?

I have touched up on this subject many times! I have tried to make things more positive. The thing is, my blog, and most of my videos, are designed for me to come in and rant. It is due to my ranting on my blogs that I can be a positive person in life. Over the past couple of days, I've had some people tell me that in one of my videos I say I am a positive person, and it's true. I am! I take most negatives and am able to turn them into positives. But they say my attitude on some of my videos is very negative. I just want to once again clarify that that is what my blog and videos are there for. I do all my ranting on here, because for the most part, I don't want to take it out on my friends and family. Well, some of my friends are good for ranting at. Katrina especially is a darn good listener, like me. And she always gets me laughing again if I happen to be feeling down. As you know, I like happy people. I have no trouble making friends with happy people and keeping them as friends. That's because I value those friends more than any other. You hang around positive people, you feel positive. So that's what I do. That's how I can be struck by some of the worst trolls on the internet, and still keep a smile on my face! That, combined with several other factors.

Well, I've been getting comments like that all over the place, especially from vegans who view my Vegan Myths videos. To them, I was being negative. I was not trying to be negative, I was trying to give them both sides of a debate they believe to have only one outcome. I got another one yesterday saying I am "closed-minded". The sad fact is, I've never seen anyone more closed-minded than fanatical vegans! And believe me, I've seen a lot of kinds of people! I've dealt with every kind of person imaginable, and even through all that, I've still never met anyone as closed-minded as the fanatical vegans! In another video, I actually stood up for the real vegans. One guy was dissing vegans, comparing them to nazis. I agree with all he was saying, but only in speaking about fanatical vegans. I told him there is a big difference. True vegans are in it for compassion. Fanatics are in it for egotistical reasons and nothing more. I could not believe I was actually sticking up for vegans! But ONLY for the true vegans. NOT for the fanatics. Well, anyway that's progress. After all, the true vegans are people too. Well, I have friends who are vegans. But I don't have (and don't want) friends who are fanatical vegans. If that makes me seem negative to them, then so be it!

I was looking at an old post on this blog the other day, and it had a comment by someone who came in for a while and called herself Freckle Face. I promised back then I was going to make a complete turn-around, and not act so freaky anymore. I think she's disappointed in me because I haven't seen her in years. Of course now, I only hassle trolls on YouTube here. I don't even mention show breeders by their real names when I am talking about them. I try not to fly off the handle, though sometimes it is difficult not to. Because my blogs are my venting portal. Sometimes I can see, that because I do a lot of venting here and on my videos, that I might seem negative. But believe me, I am not. These blogs make up less than 0.1% of my daily life. I don't even post enough blogs for these to make up a major part of my life. I don't normally post daily. Although for the past couple of weeks, I've posted quite a bit. More than usual, because it's actually been quite exciting around here. And yesterday I had my fun poking at TheAwokenMind. LOL! Really though, I don't make posts like that often. As for my videos, I make even less of those. It takes a lot of work to make videos. Though now that my videos are able to be monetized, I might do it more often. As soon as I can think up another subject. That's the real challenge, thinking up subjects. I've been thinking pretty heavily about what I mentioned the other night, about filming myself actually losing weight, if it's at all possible.

If I did that, it'd mostly be to show off to those dumb fanatical vegans that a person can have a mixed diet and be beautiful too. I used to get compliments all the time when I was thinner, people saying I looked beautiful. And I used to have boyfriends coming out of my ears! The fanatical vegans however believe that you cannot be beautiful unless you are a vegan, and I think that's stupid. That's what makes them stupid! That's what makes them all seem like nazis in the minds of non-vegans, or even true vegans. Of course I've got to remember I am also a lot older now. I could not possibly look as good as I did when I was 25 years old and 100-108 pounds. And even if I don't lose the weight, I'd like to show the fat-haters that a person can be fat and healthy too. As I will prove that running up and down the stairs every time I go out.

Fanatics For Everything

Well, there are definitely fanatics for everything out there. There is a difference between just loving something and being a fanatic. I love INXS. I love all music in fact. I love lemurs. I love my dogs. I love having a mixed diet. I love drawing, illustrating and animating cartoons. I love creativity. I love going on my walks every day. That is loving something. I don't care if anyone else loves those things or not. Those are the things that define my world. Put together, they are things that are unique to me, and only me. But some people love their favorite things TOO much. So much so that they will shit on anything or anyone that does not agree with them. I don't mind people loving what they love. It's when they try to force their beliefs and opinions on others is when they go too far. Those are the people I like to refer to as "fanatics". You notice I talk a lot about my encounters with vegan fanatics. Well, sometimes fanatics can be so FUNNY! Because they try sooooo hard to push their beliefs on others. But there are not only vegan fanatics, there are also religious fanatics (case in point: The Westboro Baptist Church), there's INXS fanatics (I see them all the time), and even panther fanatics. There is a difference between loving something and being a fanatic. Fanatics are nothing short of lunatics. I always laugh at them. People who just love something, as I do, do just that. They love that something, and that's the extent of it for them. I stopped pushing my opinions on others when I realized what I was becoming. And I didn't want my life to go that route. So, when I was in my early 30s, I made a complete turnaround. I used to get angry when people said they hated INXS. But no more. I haven't gotten angry at people for saying they don't like something I do for about 10 years now.

Here's an encounter I'm currently having on YouTube with a panther fanatic. He claims he's more of a dog person. But the more he posts, the more he sounds like nothing more than a cat fanatic. He calls himself TheAwokenMind. I personally think animal fanatics are idiots. Seems silly to me to fight someone over something like what their favorite animal is. I just tell people what animals are my favorites, and for me, that's the end of it. But this guy, TheAwokenMind, he not only tells what animals are his favorite (although he lied about it), he has to try and push his beliefs on me. A normal individual would have asked "Why lemurs and not panthers?" and I would have answered them, and if they were smart, they'd just let it go. But this guy is obviously not that smart. But then fanatics never are!

It started off innocently enough. He responded to a post I made on a video where a deer beat up both a dog and a cat. The cat got less than the dog because for one thing, the cat was smaller and could maneuver better than the dog could. Second of all, the dog was not facing the deer, and did not see it coming. The cat did see it coming. The deer was simply defending it's baby in the video. Both animals got licked either way. Both wound up running from the deer. Anyway, this is where it gets interesting. This was TheAwokenMind's response to someone else's post that mentioned dogs attacking snakes and bulls:

"Cats do have better reflexes than dogs, and are far more agile..
That derr was never gonna catch the cat.
I'd have ran out their and fought the deer bare handed, im not joking/lying or trying to sound tough...i'd have gone out their and attacked it."

Now, I never denied that cats do have better reflexes than dogs. I study animals all the time, I watch a lot of nature shows. This dude can barely write a good sentence! Obviously he'd lose in a battle of wits with me! LOL! Of course his grammatical errors could be there because he's beginning to get hot-headed, like any fanatic would once they are cornered with facts. This was my response to this post. Notice I keep my cool, as I am not an animal fanatic:

"Cats are agile, but they are not infallible. I've seen (and heard of) cats get killed by coyotes, wolves, dogs, hawks, eagles, even big snakes."

And it's true. In fact, my friend yesterday at the dog park and I were talking about coyotes. I told her how I don't care much for coyotes, because I've known people who have lost small dogs to coyotes. She said she's also lost a lot of cats to coyotes. It's a sad fact and it's true. I personally have never lost a pet to coyotes (I've been very lucky), but I have seen what a coyote can do to a small dog and even a cat! And back when I was in high school, I was visiting another friend and she had this black and white cat that she LOVED, his name was Shadow. Well, one day we were sitting in the living room and talking and I could see her cat sitting in the yard outside. Well, almost right in front of our eyes, we saw this red-tailed hawk take the cat in it's talons. I screamed that Shadow was being attacked, and we both ran down the stairs and out to the yard, but by the time we got to where the battle had taken place, Shadow was dead. And somewhere on YouTube, there is a video clip of a python that had killed a family cat in Florida. So no, cats are definitely not infallible.

Anyway, this was his response to my post:

"Yeah, if it's cornered.. (Really? Shadow was NOT cornered)
But if the cat is at threat and cannot win, all it needs is a tree nearby and its safe.
Show me one video here on YT or anywhere else where a domestic house cat is getting beat by another species..
You will struggle, trust me.
I know their not infallible, but everything germane to a cats physical abilities is awesome and must be applauded, even if you dont like cats.
Me, im actually a dog person, i prefer dogs because i connect with them better, but cats..wow."

He's a dog person, but as the posts go on, he keeps bragging about in the video how the cat got away and the dog "got it's ass kicked". LOL! Shadow was not cornered when attacked by a hawk. And the hawk was the same size as Shadow. There were also plenty of trees all around. Shadow just didn't see the hawk coming. And his last sentence: "but cats..wow." makes him sound much more like a cat fanatic. My dogs are smaller than most cats, and if the deer had been attacking them, they probably would have got away too. Deer cannot see in 3-dimension like we can. They don't have binocular vision. A smaller moving target would be harder for them to hit. That's why the cat got away with only a couple of swats from the deer, and the dog didn't.

Well, I began to feel a little bit of a connection to this guy. He seemed nice up to this point and he said he was a dog lover. I emphasize the words "he said". But like I always say, actions speak louder than words. This was my response to him:

"There is a video somewhere of a snake that had eaten a cat. I think there aren't more videos of cats getting licked because the cat fanatics get all crazy and ridiculous, flagging them off and calling them animal abuse. Dog people aren't like that. LOL
BTW, I love dogs too. Cats don't really impress me that much, because anything a cat can do, a lemur can do better. :) That's my real favorite animal!"

Yup! I used to be a cat lover. That was when I was a kid. It was actually lemurs that saved me from this cat-craze. I had a cat when I discovered lemurs. I saw the cat jump and I saw lemurs jump, and compared to the lemurs, the cat's jump looked pathetic! Cats can jump 3 times their body length. Lemurs can jump nearly 10 times their body length! And lemurs make it look so easy and effortless. They literally seem to glide from one point to another! Cats, not so much. When a cat jumps, they seem to put a lot more effort into it, and don't make it look as easy as lemurs do. And lemurs don't even have curved claws to help them climb! They just seem to glide up tree trunks like they are nothing, and most lemurs are about the same size as cats! Bushbabies are even better! Bushbabies are only about 7 inches long (not counting the tail), and they can leap 15 feet across without losing too much height. That's more than 20 times their own body length! They too seem to do it effortlessly. I love watching lemurs and bushbabies in action! But I don't deny cats do have their own awesome abilities. I'm just not as impressed by their abilities as I am with those of lemurs.

Well, suddenly we switched from talking about cats to talking about panthers, which I do not like at all. And you all know by now what I say about people who stick up for panthers. LOL! Apparently, size and strength seems more important to TheAwokenMind than it does to me. Me, I prefer animals that I can enjoy watching, either on TV, or in a zoo, or the wild. This was his response to my last post:

"Really?
Well, Cats can grow to 900lbs...the Siberian Tiger?
Dont know a Lemur alive that could take one of those cats...lol
Cats dont impress you because you dont like superiority, Cats are the supreme carnivores on this planet and it's about time you respected that.
How the hell can they not impress you?!! Are you freaking insane??!!
Oh wait, you were traumatized by a cat swipe when you were five right?
LOL"

More and more, this moron is sounding like a cat fanatic. LOL! Up to now, I never even mentioned my having a cat before. But just like a lot of fanatics, he tries to put words in my mouth. I don't have to respect anything that I don't want to. But in reality, I do respect the panther's place in the world, but it is no more than I respect any other animals' place in the world. He wants me to treat panthers like they are some kind of royalty, and I won't do it. I can respect their place, but I don't have to like them, and there is nothing this idiot, or any other, can say that will change my mind about that. But I'm loving how he is losing his temper! hehehe!

This was my response to him again:

"Sorry, but that is not how I pick a favorite animal. I used to have a cat, and it was about that time I discovered lemurs. I saw the cat jump and I saw lemurs jump. Compared to the lemurs, the cat's leap was pathetic. Cats can leap approximately 3 times their body length. Lemurs can leap up to 10 times their length. If that doesn't impress you, then you must be insane. :) Either that, or you're lying about not being a cat person."

I think he just lied about not being a cat person. I think it's pretty safe to say that. Well, this was his response this morning to my comment:

"You're an idiot.
And if you choose creatures on how friggin high they can leap, why dont you prefer Fleas to Lemurs?
A Flea can leap 200, yeas 200 times its own length dummy!!
I bet you dont even like Lemurs, you're just trying to diss Cats, well i just dissed your dumbass Lemur.
Go Fleas!!!!
And i'll say it again,almost any cat can kill a lemur.
Cats are successful, Lemurs are not, theirs a REASON for that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Once again, he loses his temper. LOL! Oh, and get this, he says "I bet you dont even like Lemurs" BWAH!! No, I don't like lemurs. That's why I have every lemur documentary on DVD that was ever made. That's why I have all kinds of plush lemurs all over my house. That's why I have all kinds of books about Madagascar wildlife. Yah, I don't like lemurs alright! hehehe! And what's this, he likes fleas??? Oh well. Oh and I just LOVE how he tries to piss me off with comments about cats able to kill lemurs. Actually fossas (pretty close to cats) are the lemur's major predators and I have nothing against them. In fact, I think fossas are gorgeous! I love how they are able to actually persue lemurs through the trees, instead of just waiting until they come to the ground like panthers have to with monkeys. And really, more lemurs are killed by dogs than cats. So, using this guy's logic, I should be hating dogs more. But I don't. So, I gave this guy kudos for trying to piss me off. Too bad for him it didn't work. And the reason it didn't work is because I am not a fanatic, like he is. Well, this was my latest post to him, mostly meant to piss him off:

" I still love lemurs more. :) Screw you if you don't agree with me. Just gives me a better reason to hate panthers. :) hehehehe. Lemur jumps put any cat's to shame. "

I bet I succeed in pissing him off! LOL!! I'll keep you posted! :)

****************UPDATE!*************************

I did it! I made him crack his crock! LOL! This from a guy who at first said he is a dog person:

"No, humans are at the top of the food chain...dummy.
Erm, Tigers kill Crocs way more than the reverse, theirs mountains of evidence throughout history and online for that.
No, it's not even worth arguing, and you make yourself look silly bringing it up.
Watch this...and not the power in his legs....omg, id love to see him eat you...watch it."

I don't get it. In a comment before this, he said panthers are superior. Now, he's admitting humans are at the top of the food chain. There is ONE video of a tiger (it's been circulating widely) killing a crocodile. The only reason the tiger managed it is because the crocodile was smaller than the tiger (it was about 8 feet long) and it was on land. But had it been bigger, like a 15-footer, and in the water, the tiger surely would have lost the battle. On land, crocs are not in their element, like a fish out of water. In the water, if it's hungry enough, any panther would lose to a crocodile, and I've seen it happen before! Well, at least he knows now he doesn't have a prayer of converting me, so he covers his own idiocy by saying I am not worth arguing with anymore and gives up. :) So, the Timmyfan overrules again.

**************CHAPTER 3 UPDATE*********************

LOL! He's still pissed off! He's trying so hard to find corruption in my posts, but he cannot, because there is none. So what does he do? He makes some up. Well, if that makes him feel better to make up perversive fabrications, let him do it! I don't mind. Check out this latest post from him:

"I just love how your emphasis on grammatical errors seem paramount on YouTube, you even mentioned it in a previous debate on your blog regarding Veganism.

First of all, pulling people up for typo's and grammar on YouTube seems incredibly infantile and counter productive, seeing as i am not writing an essay!

But, considering that you wish to broadcast this trivial encounter on you blog, i'll assume that you don't live the most interesting life.

We both know you started it."

In answer to his first paragraph, I always say I only look for perfection from people who think they are perfect. Yes, I stand by that. As for my life being interesting, actually it is very interesting. I keep it interesting by going to new places and meeting new people. As for his last sentence, about me starting this whole argument, well, let's look back and see. About here is where it got started, when I said this:

"There is a video somewhere of a snake that had eaten a cat. I think there aren't more videos of cats getting licked because the cat fanatics get all crazy and ridiculous, flagging them off and calling them animal abuse. Dog people aren't like that. LOL
BTW, I love dogs too. Cats don't really impress me that much, because anything a cat can do, a lemur can do better. :) That's my real favorite animal!"

I see facts, and observations, and my own personal opinion. I don't see where I pushed any of my own beliefs on him. I don't see where I called him names. If he were truly a dog lover, and not a cat fanatic, he'd know I was not talking about him personally when I said cat fanatics get all crazy and ridiculous, which is true. I've known many a cat fanatic, and they all act the same way on YouTube. Not only on YT, but all over the internet, and even this woman I used to know (the one I went to LA with) was something of a cat fanatic too. If TheAwokenMind doesn't believe cat fanatics can be like that, then it's obvious he has never met any. Or hasn't met many. And remember his response to me? It went something like this:

"Well, Cats can grow to 900lbs...the Siberian Tiger?"

True as that may be, I sense sarcasm in that quote.

"Cats dont impress you because you dont like superiority, Cats are the supreme carnivores on this planet and it's about time you respected that."

Now, I see he is trying to push his beliefs on me. Nowhere in any of my posts did I do that to him.

"Are you freaking insane??!!"

There's the name-calling. Again, nowhere in my posts did I do that to him up to this point.

"Oh wait, you were traumatized by a cat swipe when you were five right?
LOL"

And again with the sarcasm. Not only that, but fabrication as I never even hinted about that. A person does not have to be traumatized to just not like something. A fear, yes. But I have no fear of cats of any kind. So tell me, who really started this argument? Doesn't look like it was me. :) I just matched his tone with the same thing in my following post.

Anyway, he continues:

"Remember?

Because, you were the person claiming that i thought cat's were 'infallible', never did i even insinuate that they were, i just expressed admiration for their athletic prowess.

Nor did i say that cat's were indestructible, or anything to that effect. However, you assumed that i felt that way, and you then embarked on ridiculing the exact cat ability you previously agreed with (agility).

The invective monologue on your blog is a feeble attempt to mask your sheer idiocy."

As for my "insinuating he said cats are infallible", yes he did. And I quote again:

"That derr was never gonna catch the cat."

"Show me one video here on YT or anywhere else where a domestic house cat is getting beat by another species..
You will struggle, trust me."

"Tigers kill Crocs way more than the reverse"

And some I haven't even quoted yet on this blog:

"cats have great acceleration and are rarely caught by the animals you mentioned.
A Coyote will rarely catch a cat, and the cat needs is a tree after its spotted the coyote, dog or wolf. ("Rarely" my ass! I've heard of far more cats getting killed by coyotes than even little dogs!)

Hawks and Eagles usually go for easier prey.

Snakes?

lol"

"i've come with solid points, you've came with nothing, no proof of cat ownage...nothing,"

"they are such a successful species and put Lemurs, Hawks, Eagles, Wolves and Coyotes to shame."

Again, I don't love animals based on what "owns" them. I like what I like and that's it. Yes, I said cats have agility. I also said I am not as impressed with their's as I am with the agility of lemurs. That's MY views. I still stand by that statement too. Should I tell him about the time I was mountain hiking and I kicked a cougar's butt? LOL! I had some minor scratches from that encounter, all of which healed well, but the cougar lost it's front teeth. I found them on the ground after he ran away. LOL! Nah! I don't think so! Anyway, I still see him as a liar and a wussy. I'd have actually had a lot more respect for this guy if he had come right out in the beginning, and said he was a cat-lover, instead of saying he "connected better with dogs", and left out the name-calling, which he still continues to do. :) hehehe!

Fat By Choice?

Are people really fat by choice? Or is it just an excuse fat haters use to justify them continuing to judge and gripe about fat people? I think it's a little bit of both. Some people are fat because they choose to be, and I will admit there are people like that out there. More often than not. But I found this article that also talks about dieting and the impact it has on people who use that method to try and lose weight. Here is the article: http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/26/health/post-diet-weight-regain/. This explains why so many people go on diets and fail almost right away. It talks about how dieting makes your hormones go haywire, and that causes weight-gain. I know going on diets is what actually made me get fatter and fatter. Now, I know it's directly associated with hormones.

I am not fat because I chose to be. I eat no different now than I did when I was thinner. The difference now is that I have a much slower metabolism than I did before. For me, my weight gain is not attributed to illness. It was the cure for an underlying illness that made me gain weight. If I don't take these pills, I'm dead. And while I know the fanatical vegans would love to see that, I won't give them the satisfaction! Besides, I'm too busy to die right now! I have too many things I need to complete before GOD calls me. I'd love to get it all done, but I'd have to live to be about 200 years old! But anyway, I hear (and see) it all the time, some thin person says "You're going to die early" and griping and complaining about fat people and blah-blah-blah, and especially saying "You chose to be fat!" Perhaps I did. I chose to get that surgery, and I chose to get the cure. I could have just let the surgery go, and died from the ailment that almost claimed me before. But I couldn't. I have too much to live for. I actually think it's funny when some thin person, who has never been fat a day in it's life, says to me "Just go on a diet! Lose some weight!" I tell them it is not that easy. And for men, it is actually true that it is easier for them to lose weight than it is for women.

Well, since I have lived here, I've lost 10 pounds just in the move, and I have actually begun to climb the stairs instead of using the elevator. I am also back to going to the dog park with my friends. It's better than going to the side of the building, where Jeri is still not picking up after Bella, and I don't want to step in Bella's droppings. LOL! It's actually a lot of fun using the stairs than using the elevator! Like I said, I love walking. I also like jogging, but I haven't gotten to that point just yet. It'll be a while before I can go jogging like I used to. But jogging up the stairs is a good start. And yes, I do jog up the stairs!! LOL! I'm out of breath though when I reach the top, but I don't let it stop me.

This kinda gives me something of an idea. If I really tried, in spite of the fanatical vegans, could I really lose weight even with the diet I typically follow, if I just became MUCH more active? I always thought that you don't have to change your eating habits to lose weight. At least not that much. All it takes is being active enough to burn off the calories of the food you eat. Like if you consume a 200 calorie sandwich, you have to find an activity (like climbing stairs) that is strenuous enough to burn 200 calories. I have no desire to become a vegan, I want to keep my complextion!! I just want to see (and possibly show them) that a person can eat meat, eggs and dairy, and still lose weight.

I recently got a comment from another fanatical vegan saying that a healthy diet that includes meat does not include eating double cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets from McDonald's. Well, I told him that I never said that. I never eat at McDonald's. In fact, I don't regularly eat any fast food. I prefer to do my own cooking. I enjoy it! And the McDonald's crack, no one would have ever thought to say that before the movie Supersize Me came out. Notice they rarely mention Burger King? That's because kids live what they see on TV and in movies, and Burger King was not attacked on that movie. Just McDonald's. And I never eat there anyway. But for me, eating out is very rare. I did talk in here about eating at Fuddrucker's, but I had a bison burger there (a lot less fat than beef), and it was just once. I don't go there every day. I've been here for 5 months now, and I've only eaten there once. Have so far never eaten at the local McDonald's, and only ate once at Burger King, and that was just after we moved here. So that is how often I eat at fast food places. The rest of the time, I prefer to do my own cooking and baking. So, using the logic of the fat haters, losing weight should be a snappo! Well, we will see. I'm just beginning to realize, at my age I cannot eat like a teenager anymore. I cannot even eat a whole PB sandwich anymore!!!!!! I have to make it and cut it in half. Consume one half and wrap up the other half and save for later.

What I should do is make a video of this. Like some kind of daily diary. It'll either prove or disprove the ideas the fanatical vegans have of being a thin omnivore.

Forums Failing

I remember a long time ago, I created a forum basically for INXS fans to go to if they got sick of the drama going on at inxs.com. I invited people I felt to be my friends (and some I didn't feel were real friends but just wanted to have them around and get to know them better). The forums at inxs.com were so full of drama, and everyone always complained, saying "if there was another place I could go to talk INXS without all the drama going on here, I'd go there." So I decided to try a little experimental thing, and get another INXS forum going. I said that no drama was going to be allowed there. I knew that the forum would fail. There was almost no question in my mind about that. You know why? And let me tell you, I've found this to be true all over the internet. I don't care how many times a person says "I hate drama" or "I hate negativity", I can tell you honestly, they're LYING!! People LOVE drama! They love to hear about another person's problems. Why do you think reality shows are so darned popular now? Why do you think the most popular people on YouTube are those who actually speak their minds? It's because people LOVE drama! It always draws them back.

I've seen so many forums and websites put up and then just a couple months later, failed. That's because the forum owner did not want drama posted on there. You take out the drama, you take away a person's rights to free speech. I remember on the Craigslist forums, I used to occasionally go into the arts and crafts forum. People there used to complain because things got so heated in there and so much drama. Well, one member, probably with the same thing in mind as I had when I created my INXS forum, went and created her own forum devoted to arts and crafts. I remember the forum was active for a couple of weeks, and then eventually people stopped coming altogether. The big mistake the forum's owner said was that there was going to be NO DRAMA and NO FIGHTING. Well, you gather a bunch of people together, there are bound to be some opinions clashing. I'm a person who loves to speak her own mind. I may piss a few people off in the process. But that's who I am! But what is drama to one person, may be to another person their rights to say what they feel. You take that right away, you're going to have some problems, and nobody is going to want to return to your site. I've seen so many forum owners with good intentions fail because of this. The most successful forums and websites I've seen are those that are only very slighly moderated. Some heavily moderated forums may be used for a few months, even a few years. But they eventually fail. It really takes a LOT to make a forum successful. Good advertising helps, and light moderation as well. You have to allow some drama to happen. Some people will get offended, but a lot of people will continue to hang around, some just for the drama.

I say all this because there is another site I am a member of, but I rarely go in myself, because the site owner does not like drama. Well, I got a notice recently that they are struggling with the site because so few people are visiting very often. I don't go in because I am afraid if I do, and I say something that someone else perceives as "fighting words", I'd get kicked out. And all I would be doing is just being me. You know, Katrina called me last night and I told her about the incident I had with Jeri the other night, and Katrina said "Poor you! You make enemies no matter where you go!" And we laughed. I said to her "Well, if I didn't, I'd be wondering if I was really being myself!" We both laughed some more. I've made a few enemies here, but I've also made quite a few friends. And while I can be a bitch, I can at the same time, be very friendly. There was a time, before the internet became widespread, that people actually got to know each other, face to face. I am so complex of a person, it makes me laugh when people, like these fanatical vegans, think they can tell all there is to know about me just by looking at me. LOL! It's funny because they are so far off base. They think just because I am fat that I cannot (or do not) move around at all. Well, the truth is I love walking. But they'd never be able to tell it just by looking at my Vegan Myths videos and analyzing my diet. They think every time I do have to go out that I use some kind of motorized cart. LOL! Again, nothing is further from the truth. Even though they may not show up on my videos, I do have legs and feet. And I use them. I've never even sat down on a motorized cart before. Let alone, use one to do the walking for me. That's why it makes me laugh when some dumb fanatical vegan thinks they can tell all there is to know about me just by watching one or two of my videos on YouTube. But I usually just let them have their fun. Only other fanatical vegans would believe them anyways.

Well, I've been hearing for months that it was going to snow on Halloween. Everyone who lives here said that it was going to snow on Halloween because for the past 3 years, it's always snowed on Halloween. I kept telling my friends, it's NOT going to snow. One of them asked "How do you know?" I answered "Because I'm here now." The sun loves me. I don't know why. I don't love it! I like it occasionally, but I don't love it. I surely don't love it on these cold, dry, sunny days! I'd rather it be cold and cloudy. Then my sinuses aren't so darn bad!

Weird Eastern Weather

Well, so far people living on the east coast have been having a rough year. I have some friends and family that lives there now. I hope they are getting by. Although I phoned Eva, a couple of weeks ago, and she said she and the family are OK. That was before this snow storm hit. Now, I cannot get ahold of her again. She lives in a big house and they are hard to heat. I know she said she has a fireplace, and I know she will know to use it. LOL! I'm talking like I am her mother! LOL! She also still has that big dog too. She can cuddle up to it. But Eva doesn't really like dogs. As far as I know though, she hasn't gotten another cat. I don't think. I didn't ask her last time I talked to her though.

You know who is to blame for all this mess happening this past year on the east coast? I'll bet you anything Hobofart is to blame! It's karma. So they got all the snow we were supposed to get here in Montana! Well, I am glad we don't have snow yet here. That means I can go back to putting my dogs in the dog park, and I don't have to worry about going to this other side of the building and try to avoid stepping in Bella's piles if Jeri isn't going to pick them up right away. Besides, I'd much rather run into Karen and Kim (our friends here) than run into Jeri. LOL! Well, Jeri's not all bad. She just acts like a teenager too much.

Jeri's friend, the other woman in this complex named Karen, came up and talked to me about Jeri after that incident. She helped me to understand Jeri's side of everything a lot better. She told me the reason Jeri doesn't always pick up Bella's droppings right away is because she has a very bad hip, and she does not always feel like going up and down the stairs to do so. Jeri never told me any of this before! And I don't know her. I thought she was just an irresponsible person. I told Karen even if Jeri does just go out and pick up Bella's droppings later on, I still run the risk of stepping in it. Even if Jeri is just making things harder for herself. But I am used to only irresponsible people getting angry at me for asking them to be more responsible, so it's not a surprise that I thought Jeri was just being that way. She's such an angry and overly-sensitive person!

Well, after Karen's explanation, I felt the need to apologize to Jeri because Jeri told Karen she felt like I was harassing her. And I surely did not mean to make her feel that way. I took it as me just being helpful, and her refusal to take care of her dog as her being an irresponsible pet owner. I didn't know if that last time she actually saw Bella dumping in the yard or not. But Karen said she always sees it. She just doesn't pick up right away. I was like "OK. If that's her MO, it's her business." Of course if I step on the mess, then it becomes my business. So now, I owe Jeri something of an apology. But she's such an angry and bitter person (she only has one friend that I know of) I know what her response is going to be. She's going to say "That's bullshit!" But I don't care. If I do apologize (and I will), I won't be doing it for her. I'll really be doing it for my own peace of mind. I don't care if Jeri hates me. I don't want to be friends with her. I like happy, cheerful and playful people. I don't like angry, bitter, or overly-defensive people like her. I don't hate her. I just don't care to become friends with her. I am glad she and Anna get along though. Anna is so unoffensive, very opposite of me! LOL! But Anna is going to be living here a Hell of a lot longer than I am! I want her to get along with everyone. Well, I take that back, I know that guy Andy does not get along with Anna, but that's his doings.

Yesterday when I ran into Karen (my friend here) and Kim, Karen is all of a sudden now sweet on Andy. First she didn't trust him, now she is sweet on him. I love Karen a lot, but I wish she would make up her mind! I told her Andy is the only person in this complex that I know I don't like at all. She said to me there is no reason for that, and I said "Oh yes there is" I told Karen how he growled at Anna one day when she went to the laundry room. Karen looked puzzled and said "He growled??" I said "Yeah." That was strange to me too, but I didn't do it. Karen asked "And who did that hurt?" I answered, "It's disruptive." I know how Andy "growls". It's not a cute little growl like Curly did on the Three Stooges. Andy is loud. Let me rephrase that. Andy is L-O-U-D!!! I'm surprised Karen didn't hear him. I'm surprised I didn't hear him!! But I have heard him growl at me and Anna in the dog park. I just wish Anna would quit responding to him! As long as she does, he's just going to get louder and louder with her. I totally ignore him, and it drives him fucking CRAZY!!! LOL! I don't look at him, I don't respond to anything he does, I never say 2 words to him. I just totally ignore him. I wish Anna would do the same. Yesterday when I was at the dog park, and he came in, he did just about anything to get me to respond, but I wouldn't. I just looked away, and made out like he wasn't even there. It drove him nuts too! LOL! And that's even funnier than any verbal response I could have given him.

Round 3 With Bella's Mom

I finally found out Bella's owner's name! Her name is Jeri. I should have guessed it would be some masculine name like that! LOL! She's not at all lady-like. I've actually known several women named Jeri and they were all like that. Well, I ran into her again this afternoon taking my dogs out. There is a huge window on the staircase, and I saw Bella from there, and I didn't want to put my dogs out with Bella for fear she would attack them. I stopped on the stairs when I noticed Bella was out there, and Jeri called up to me and said "could you wait a minute?" I told her to take her time, and I waited with my dogs there on the steps. Well, I happened to look down and I noticed Bella took a big dump in the yard. I figured Jeri would go out and pick it up, like she said she always does. But she didn't. She just realed up Bella and started heading for home. She said "Thank you" to me and I said "No problem." Then I said to her "Just to let you know, Bella took a dump in the yard." At first she did not hear me, so I repeated myself. Then she asked me to repeat it again, and I did.

Well, this was where she flew off the handle. She said "Thank you very much for telling me." I said "You're very welcome." Mind you, I was very polite to her, and I was just letting her know. Well, then Jeri said to me "I really wish you would stop worrying about it, because you're really making me SICK!" I told her, "I was just letting you know, in case you didn't catch it." Then she points her finger at me and said "And let me tell you something young lady, if you continue to harass me, I'm going to have you reported and kicked out of here." I matched her attitude with one of my own. I said to her, "You know what, you need to lighten up! I was just trying to help you." Jeri then says "Whatever!" Then she goes on about how she's having surgery (I suppose to play on my sympathies) I told her "I'm sorry you're having surgery, but you still need to take care of your dog..." I was going to add "Or get someone else to take her out for you." But she interrupted me. She kept going on calling me 'baby' and 'bitch' and telling me to shut up. Every time she told me to shut up, I kept telling her to get over here and make me shut up. She said "Oh I'll make you alright!" I told her "I'm right here! Make me shut up!" I wish to GOD she had tried to lay a hand on me! I'd have ripped her another butthole!

Well, she clambered down the stairs calling me every name in the book, and I just stood there and smiled, and I told her "Just so you know, I will be telling Lois that you are not picking up after your own dog." She answered, "Oh you just go right ahead!" And I told her "Don't think I won't!" I saw it with my own eyes, Bella took a dump and Jeri did not pick up after her. She shouted "Go and tell whoever you want, bitch!" I said, "You bet I will!" then she said "Good bye, bitch!" I reminded her that I would be telling Lois about her. Then she repeated "Good bye, bitch!" I just laughed and said "good bye!" LOL! Then she said bye one last time and slammed the door. All that time I was wishing I had my camera, this would have been great footage! Damn!! I never have it when I need it. Should I have told Jeri that I love being called a bitch? hehehe! Bitch means "beautiful, intelligent, talented, charming and horny", so I love being called a bitch. That wasn't the only thing she called me though. But notice I never once called her a name. Never!! I refused to stoop to her level of intelligence. I won't say that some monikers didn't cross my mind, but I refused to call her names and lower myself to her level. I actually had to stop myself from saying them a couple of times. LOL! And I was genuinely trying to be helpful. She just got angry because I was reminding her that she did wrong.

Well, then I put my dogs out in the yard. Shortly afterwords, Anna came out with Odessa and put her out. I told Anna about the incident with Jeri. Another resident, Karen (not the one I used to meet at the dog park, she owns Shadow) overheard what I was saying. So, I told her too. I knew she and Jeri were friends. Karen said "I wouldn't worry about it." I asked her "Why? Is Jeri not right in the head?" Karen amusingly said "Aren't we all?" LOL! I told Karen I was only trying to help Jeri, but Jeri is an asshole! I hated to say it, but it's true. She's as bad as that guy Andy. I'd love to see her report me and have me thrown out just for telling her that her dog took a dump out in the yard. I remember Sharon tried exactly that same thing once. I remember one time, Cora, who is Sharon's german shepherd dog, took a dump in the dog park. Well, Kim saw her do it, and Sharon was not in the park at that time. So, when Sharon came to pick up Cora, Kim told her that Cora took a dump in the park and pointed out where she had done it. Well, Sharon got pissed off at that, and threatened to file a restraining order against Kim for harassment. Well, Kim telling Sharon that her dog took a dump is not harassment! I think Jeri needs to learn that too. LOL! But let her try reporting me! I told her to go for it! LOL! See how far she gets. I'll file a report against her for calling me names and telling me to shut up. LOL! Which I cannot really, because it's free speech, but Hell, if she wants to persue this, I'm ready. I think I could get her for [close to] threatening me when she said she'll make me shut up. LOL! BWAH!!

I wish she had put her hands on me! I really wish she would have!!! I just hate though arguing like that with such an old woman. I sometimes feel like I'm arguing with my grandma! She must be in her 70s, and she acts like a teenager. Or a 20 year old. And she did start it. I was just being helpful. I had no idea if she knew Bella had dumped or not. I was perfectly willing to be friendly. Well, I won't try that anymore! Now, whenever I see her, I'm going to keep giving her Hell about her dog. Especially if I see her not picking up after it. And yes, I will tell Lois that Jeri was the one not picking up after her dog.

Now This Is What I Mean!

Last night, I was feeling especially creative. I finally figured out how I can do caricatures the right way. I decided to just try doing them all on the computer. So I opened up my Paint Shop and went wild with the shapes! If I do say so myself, I say they came out pretty darned good!!! And this method is actually easier than sitting down to draw each individual picture. Took a long time though to get each picture just right, but I managed it, and I didn't have to waste any paper doing them. Leastwise not until the time comes to actually print this book.

Anyway, as I was taking a break from drawing, I looked around the internet at my e-mails and messages like I usually do. I went back to YouTube, it's usually the first place I go to check messages because I want to get my visit there overwith for the time being. Well, I noticed I had 2 messages. One at least I can almost always assure myself will be posted on one of my vegan videos. Well, this time there was 2. One on each segment, both by a person who calls himself ddcasil. He claims he is from the USA, but I highly doubt it! No one from the USA, except me, would have been up at that hour. More likely he's one of those teenage bellyachers from the UK. They are so common on YouTube. Well, he wasn't all bad, he was kindof creative. But even a fanatical vegan at his most creative is nowhere near as creative as I am. His first message on my first vegan myths video was this:

"who looks healthier the vegan or the obese clown?"

I thought this was kinda funny. I mean, it's the first time someone has ever called me a clown. I like it. Clowns are supposed to be funny, and I think I'm right in saying I'm a pretty funny person when I want to be. So, I decided to jab back at him:

"Answer: The obese clown. LOL!!"

I personally have never seen a vegan I thought looked healthy. Fanatical vegans though are brainwashed. To them, pale, bald and wimpy is healthy looking. But not to me. I'd rather look like I look now than to be a pale wimp with no hair. I have no problems for someone my age who has been obese for the better part of 8 years. I admit though I could stand to lose a few pounds here and there. But I am happy with the person I am. These vegan fanatics will never succeed in making me think otherwise. Besides I just never care what vegan fanatics think anyway. The reason I am writing this blog is because I want to show you all what happened next. hehehe!

On my second vegan myths video, this person made 2 comments. His first one was once again directed at my looks (as they usually are by all fanatical vegans):

"why would anyone listen to this fat mess"

Notice he never uses proper grammar skills. I always felt if you want to be taken seriously, then write like an adult. Though I usually ignore grammar unless it's from someone like ddcasil, who no doubt is out to show others he is somehow better than me. Like I once told someone else, I only look for perfect grammar from people who think they're perfect, and the people who especially match that description are fanatical vegans. That's why none of them have any friends or subscribers on YouTube. Or they don't have but a few, and usally all of them are other fanatical vegans. Well again I decided to have some fun with this chap. I responded:

"Because I know more than you do. :)"

Yep! ddcasil is dumb as dirt! Just like all other fanatical vegans. He was a little more creative though. Just a little bit. But as usual, I am even more so. And I don't need the help of TV shows or movies to give me ideas like most of them do. I sure as Hell don't need Pokemon's help! Well, it was this next comment from ddcasil that triggered possibly the most ingenius comment I ever thought up. On my second vegan myths video, his last comment was:

"did she say that an apple is bitter? hahahaha"

Now, mind you once I put up a video on YouTube, I almost never watch it again. Because I want the number of views to be those of other peoples'. I wish YouTube only counted original views, instead of repeated views, but it doesn't. So, I don't watch my videos once they are put up. But I don't remember saying in that video that apples are bitter. So I watched it. I remember around the time Gary Yourofsky talked in his video about putting an apple and a bunny in the crib with a child, and before then had talked about how humans are naturally strict herbivores, I was talking about why vegetables are bitter to children. And many of them are because they started off in the wild as toxic. There is no denying that. The vegan fanatics do though. Vegan fanatics are much worse than pet people! That's because the fanatics are always in denial. Anyway, here is where the genius comment comes in! My response to ddcasil's last comment was both standup-comedy quality and well-thought-out. If I do say so myself:

"What's stupider than a NON-vegan NOT saying an apple is bitter? Answer: A vegan calling an apple a vegetable! LOL! Hello pot. Meet kettle. ;) :P"

heheheehe!! Well, he said it! I never said an apple was bitter, but by him making that observation, he was indeed calling an apple a vegetable! LOL! That's one fanatical vegan who could never truthfully claim to be smarter than I am! LOL! That is always so typical of fanatical vegans. I've come to recognize fanatical vegans by these simple little phrases:

"your stupidity" (sometimes they spell 'your' like 'you're').
"do research"
"fat and ugly"

LOL! And other such kinds of phrases. For those vegan myths videos, I did a lot of research. (OK, maybe not for the speciesism thing! But for that I made another video). The trouble with fanatical vegans is no matter how much research you do, they are going to keep saying it's not enough unless you actually mention something they want to hear. And it has to be told their way. They don't want you to tell people that we need meat. They don't want you to tell people that dead animals cannot feel themselves being cut up. They don't want you to tell people that veggies like cabbage, broccoli and brussel sprouts were toxic until we domesticated them. They don't want you to tell people that beef farms do not keep cattle penned up 24/7/365. They don't want you to tell people that more animals get killed each year through the harvesting of vegetables and fruit, either directly or indirectly. They want you only to tell people that animals are being tortured, that we don't need meat, that a cow is at the same level of importance as a human, and more important than a wild animal, and that we did not have to domesticate some varieties of vegetables to make them non-toxic. That is why I never listen to vegan fanatics. I got one guy the other night commenting on my video and griping about what I said, and demanded to see proof of what I said in the form of websites and written material. Well, I went to his channel and I noticed he is a PETA supporter! LOL! How ironic! I basically said to him to look at my blog, I have links here to those places I researched to make that video. He kept saying my video was based on opinions only and that nothing I said was based on truth. I told him that if he believes PETA is honest, and I am not, then I KNOW I am doing something right!! LOL!

Too Many "ism"s

I just saw and favorited a video on YouTube, and it's a cartoon from 1948. It was a good cartoon to watch, it talks about us having freedom to do whatever we want, and to make whatever choices we want. Nobody appreciates that as much as I do. I am a total free spirit. You'd be pretty hard-pressed to find someone who takes as much advantage of freedom as me. The only people who come close are the Westboro Baptist Church. The only difference between them and me is that I actually appreciate those people who died to make this country as free-willed as it is. I bless the soldiers in my prayers every night. I thank them for giving their lives for this country, and hope they return to this world to have another good life again. See, I believe in reincarnation. hehe!

One of the things that is pointed out in this cartoon I saw is that there are too many "ism"s. I so agree with that! And these days, people have carried them too far! When I talk about ism's, the first one that comes to mind is racism. We still haven't licked that one yet. Moving here to Montana, I find that a lot of people are full-blown racists! Look at the Craigslist Rants and Raves! Especially in Billings. There was one guy who went ballistic with a black guy that posted. It was crazy!! Of course having been to Billings, I can tell you honestly not the friendliest people live there. The people are a lot more stand-offish than they are here. Well anyway, racism was just the beginning of all the ism's. It goes all the way up to the latest (and most useless) one, speciesism. And yes, I found out "speciesism" is real. I still just don't think it's necessary in our culture.

I will admit that the hatred between humans should not be going on. I do wish to see a day when racism is eradicated completely. In fact, ALL hatred of certain groups of people should be ended. I'd like to see racism end, or homosexualism, or feminism, or even obeseism. People need to start just treating other people like people. And if you don't like someone, or a group of people, stay away from them! That's what I do. Animals do it, why can't we? You don't see deer approaching wolves. That's because deer don't like wolves. Deer know to stay away from wolves, and they do it because they don't like them. People can learn a great deal by watching animals.

Well, the thing is, we need to let up a little on these ism's that take away our basic freedoms. I'm all for ending racism, but people have carried it too far! Such is the case of this classic Tom and Jerry cartoon from 1940. Here it is in it's full form: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nEZwSZrbUw. The last time I saw this cartoon was back in 1995. You would not see this cartoon today. Know why? Because of the weak-minded crybabies that believe the woman in this cartoon is a stereotype of black women. I guess they think it paints the picture of post-slavery black people still working like slaves. I like this cartoon. And I think the woman is great! People who would take her appearance in this cartoon as offensive need to learn to get a grip and just have fun in life. She's also "painting a stereotype" of obese women, but I'm not griping about it! It's just a cartoon! It is cases like this where I think people are carrying this "racism" thing TOO far!! This would be where I draw the line at. That woman made several appearances in the early Tom and Jerry cartoons, and I thought she was funny! I don't even watch these cartoons anymore because they cut her out of most of them now! I just think that's dumb!

Now, people have made an "ism" about everything. You can't walk or breathe anymore without someone making an "ism" against it. I'm not asking to eliminate all of them. Just eliminate those that are taking away some of our rights. I think we should begin with the most useless "ism" of all: speciesism! That's the one the fanatical vegans like to throw around too much, and it's part of their ploy to get people to stop killing animals for food. I love animals, but some animals were made to be eaten. That's the law of nature. No reason behind it, that's just the way it is.

Round 2 of "I'm The Boss"

Well, this morning I took my dogs out to this field again, and this time I took my camera. I fully expected to run into that woman with Bella again. Well, I did not see her out in the yard. But I ran the camera and talked a little bit about her. I told about how she went all ballistic because I confronted her about the piles of dog crap in that yard, and when she did it told me I must have struck a nerve with her. Made me think perhaps she was indeed the one who has not been picking up after her dog. Well, I was going to capture her bitching at me again (as I am sure she would have) and I was going to have it on film. Well, I got something even better than that! A lot juicier. She did not come out into the yard, but when I was about to bring my dogs back into the building, I noticed Bella at the door looking out at me and the dogs. I didn't see that woman at first though. I did notice the leash attached to Bella's collar. The other end of the leash led to the stair case. Then, I noticed that woman peaking from behind the wall and drawing her head back, like some kind of turtle. I thought to myself "Oh this is perfect!" and I whipped out my camera, and caught her and Bella on film.

Bella's a cute little dog, but she's mean as Hell!! Don't let that cute face fool you! When I saw that woman hiding behind the banister, I laughed so hard. It was so fricken funny!! She's scared of me now! LOL! Now I know for sure I struck a nerve with her. But I will always call out irresponsible people! I don't care how pissed off they get at me, or how scared. Irresponsible people hurt everyone. If our landlord could have seen the piles of dog crap left out in that yard, she would never allow us to use that area again. And I don't want to go to the dog park when it's -30 degrees out there, and possibly blizzard conditions, which is very common here in Montana during the winter. So I don't want that privilege taken from me. At first I had no idea who left their dog's droppings out there. Now I know for sure.

I really feel sorry for this woman. More than anything. She must be in her 70s, and she acts like a 5 year old the way she hid behind the banister. I don't know if she thought I could not see her or not, but this was funny! At the same time I could not help but feel sorry for her. I'm about half her age, and I don't hide from her. I walked out on her and Bella in the yard yesterday, I never hid from her, and when she started bitching at me, I bitched right back. Personally, I thought that was over with, but she has held that grudge like some teenager who has nothing better to do. Me, I have bigger things to worry about than her. I'm still in the process of trying to finish this story. Like I said earlier, I am not that great at drawing caricatures, and this story requires it. So I have that on my mind now. Not what some wierd-ass woman who cannot take responsibility for her own dogs thinks of me. And besides, I cannot stand irresponsible people! I've said it before, and I will say it again and forever!

I've had nothing but trouble because of irresponsible people. A lot of apartments and rental homes do not allow dogs because of irresponsible people. It's been Hell trying to find an apartment back on the coast! Walmart does not have layaway anymore because of irresponsible people. Although I am glad they brought it back just for Christmas this year! Show breeders are always so hostile because of irresponsible people. Believe me, if show breeders were to be actually the nicest people you could ever meet, I would not loathe and disrespect them so much. But very few of them actually are nice. Everything bad in this world has happened because some idiots did not take responsibility for what they did or whatever decisions they made. So, I will always call out on irresponsible people.

"I'm Checking On You"

There is this old woman who lives in this complex, on the first floor. She's usually an OK person. Well, about a week or so ago, I went to put my dogs out and I noticed there were piles of dog droppings in the yard. With winter approaching, I don't go to the dog park anymore, so I take my dogs to this corner field to let them relieve themselves. Now, mind you I have no idea who left those piles of dog droppings out there, but when I see them, I get pissed because it tells me that someone is not being responsible for their dogs. And I hate irresponsible people! I believe all irresponsible people should be horsewhipped. I was not accusing anyone, but I saw that woman out there with her little dog, Bella, and I asked her (as I would have anyone else) "are you going to pick up her droppings?" I was just making sure. She answered "If she was going to do something, I would definitely pick it up." I was like "OK." For me, that was the end of it. Then she looks at me and asked "Why? Are you checking up on me?" At first I thought she was being a little bit sarcastic, I watched her face and looked for any hint of a sarcastic smirk. I decided to play along, in case she was being playful. I smiled and answered "Well, yeah maybe." Well, that made her angry and she said "I don't need anyone to check up on me." I just told her "That's fine!" And happily went about my business. I supposed she thought I was accusing her, but I could not because I didn't know who had been leaving their dogs' mess and not picking up. But judging by her reaction to what I was saying, I think I struck a nerve, deeply! Perhaps it was her who had been leaving her dog's droppings out there. I just didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to accuse. After she went back in, I just burst out laughing at the whole situation! You all know how I am. :)

Well, the other day, Anna and I had returned from a trip to Butte. I told her to go ahead and put the dogs out, and I would put our stuff we bought away. So she did, and after I was finished, I went out to meet her in that same field. Shortly after I got there, that woman with Bella came out. The first thing Bella did was attack and bite my Vegas, causing him to squeal. I was angry, and I shouted at Bella to leave my baby alone! She did. LOL! I had just told Anna about my incident with that woman a few days before. Anna knows how I can get and she also knows that woman. She said "usually she's not that bad". I said "I know." Some of the people who live here are pretty messed up. So, I just take what they say with a grain of salt, which is why I didn't blow up at that woman. Not even when Bella attacked Vegas. I've been told that you cannot trust either Bella, or her companion's dog, Shadow. They both tend to attack out of the blue. My friends told me they do not trust Bella or Shadow. Now, I understand why.

Well, this morning when I took my dogs out, that same woman was out there with Bella again. I don't run into her very often, really. Maybe about once a week I might come across her, but so far, that's been the only average. This time, Vegas started to go for Bella, and I told him a very firm, "NO!" I told Vegas to stay away from that dog. He did. Minnie started to squat and take a dump, and that woman said to me "Are you going to pick up your dogs' droppings?" I smiled and said to her "I always do!" She started rambling on about how I was checking up on her, so I believe she was trying to piss me off with that question. But she failed in that endeavor. I'm not as sensitive and messed-up as she is. I quit getting pissed off at the little things when I was in my 20s. LOL! She kept mumbling and going on about how I was checking up on her and all. She said "I don't appreciate being checked up on! You mind your own dogs and I'll mind mine." I reminded her "I was just making sure!" Again, I was not trying to accuse anyone. Then I said to her "And speaking of things not appreciated, your dog bit my dog the other day!" She said "Oh really?!" I said "Yep." Then she mumbled something else, I didn't really hear what. The whole time she was talking, she never looked me in the eyes. I was waiting for her to so we could have an intelligible conversation. I could barely make out what she was saying with her looking away and mumbling. All I could make out was "I don't like being checked up on" and blah-blah-blah. So I just laughed at her.

Afterwords, her friend came out with Shadow, and Shadow immediately started to go after my dogs. Thankfully her friend was able to hold Shadow back. The two of them got to talking about me, I was sure, because I heard the older woman say something to the effect of I'm the boss, and I was like "Oh yeah, give me that position!" LOL! And the younger woman was looking my way. Then as they left, they were talking about being the boss and supervisors and stuff. I just laughed and I shouted at the older woman "I'll be checking up on you!" and I laughed some more. I was being sarcastic, as they were, which was fine with me. I'll say one thing about my encounters with the fanatical vegans, now I've learned even better how to deal with people like that. I just laughed at the whole situation, I said to myself "Ehh, just a stupid old woman who can't take responsibility, and she's getting pissed off at me because of it." I think I will ask her everytime now if she's going to pick up after her dog, just to piss her off more. She was actually kinda fun to piss off because of the way she just flies off the handle. I think maybe I should make a movie of this.
