One of the dumbest arguments that vegans and vegetarians have against eating meat is that animals think and feel like we do. I say no they don't. Cows are just plain dumb animals. They're cute, but they are dumb. Not saying that at all to sound mean, and I do like cows, but cows are indeed dumb animals, and everyone knows it. Well, everyone except the fanatical vegans. They continue to push their beliefs on me, and I just won't give. The harder they push at me, the harder I push back and say NO, I won't change. Meat tastes too good to give up!
Well, yesterday I got into it with a dumb and delusional fanatical vegan who calls himself ahivemind. LOL! I still say he is delusional. But I managed to keep my cool with him, which I am proud of. :) I let him throw his little tantrum, I just sat back and smiled the whole time! LOL! Each time he lost it, it was a big victory for me. It's always fun to watch fanatical vegans lose their head and argue, as if kicking and screaming and calling me names somehow validates their argument. It doesn't. In fact, when a fanatical vegan loses his temper, it just proves further that my opinions are correct. I have books and scientists to back up what I say. All ahivemind has is the assumptions of a psychotic man whose argument still does not make any sense. Yourofsky completely (and conveniently) leaves out the fact that humans are natural omnivores. If we were herbivores, we would not be where we are today. We wouldn't need to be.
Well, I didn't read all of ahivemind's last response, because I skipped down to the end (I didn't have any need or desire to read the rest of his mumbo-jumbo) and I noticed he closed his argument with a big "FUCK YOU"!! LOL!!! The exact same thing can be said about people who use cuss words as people who call names. I knew he had to be a man, most likely a teenager. Either way, I just stayed calm and cool, and let him go off on tirades of his own. I was actually very proud of the way I handled him! I never lost my temper once, didn't even feel the need to. And I truly believe it was my calm demeanor that led him to become even more angry. That makes me happy! It also proves that those of us who eat meat are not as aggressive as the vegetarians/vegans like to make us out to be. Not to mention we are much more creative!
I find it funny how vegans say those of us who relish a mixed diet are "brainwashed". I see that come from their mouths all the time! LOL! All we are doing is behaving the way Nature intended us to behave. Real people are not vegan pansies. Dogs eat cows, cows eat grass, and humans eat a combination of both. Well, not really grass, although I guess sugar cane can be considered grass. We eat that. But we're supposed to eat both meat and veggies. We're not supposed to care if it involves slaughtering a cow to get that meat. I mean, I feel as bad for the cow as anyone, but at the same time, I also know we do need meat. And meat is delicious! If the meal does not have meat on the side, it ain't a meal! And cows do not think like we do. Only the hippies say that. Cows do not have dreams and hopes like we do. They don't say "I want to do this someday". People are people, cows are cows. They're 2 totally different family groups. That's why I say these fanatical vegans like ahivemind are delusional. They want cows, chickens and pigs to be equal to humans. But they're not. They never will be.
Well, in all honesty, I rarely eat pork. I will eat it occasionally, but it's rare. Pork is too tough. You cannot cut it with a fork, and not much you can do to tenderize it, and that's how I like my meat. I like it to melt in my mouth. I eat bison meat more than I do beef, and usually my meat of choice is chicken. Hey! Chicken is AWESOME!!! I especially like it creamed. Sometimes fried, although I haven't had fried chicken since I moved here. Chickens sure as Hell don't think like we do! You know what a chicken does to one of it's own kind that is wounded? They peck it to death, often ganging up on the wounded individual. Anyone who says chickens have feelings equivolent to our's is definitely delusional! They will never convince me into believing chickens have the same emotions as humans.
It doesn't matter anyway. Ahivemind completely invalidated his argument by throwing the F-bomb at the end. It was a final triumphant score for me! Like the big slam-dunk! Or like the big home run! With him throwing the F-bomb, he knows he lost the argument then! LOL! As well as I did keeping my cool, never calling him any names, and not even disrespecting him, for me, that was quite the crowning jewel! hehe! I pictured ahivemind turning away from his computer, crying, fussing and screaming like a little bitch. LOL!
Well now that it's summer vacation for the kids (and teens) I notice they are all out bitching and farting around. LOL! I've already been attacked by several just in the past few days, including ahivemind. But I never pay them any mind. Although like I promised to Katrina before I left WA state, I do tend to block them. Again, it's my way of telling them not to watch my videos if they don't like them.

The New Hobby
Well, as all my friends know, I like to test my creativity on new things, first it was drawing and illustrating, then writing, then sculpting, then clocks, and now I've developed a new passion, I'm into making jewelry. It all started a couple weeks ago when Anna and I went to Helena and bought some new shoes. The shoe store we went into also sold earrings. Well I saw a couple pairs I fell in love with, and so I bought them. But I didn't have the holes in my ears anymore, so I had to have my ears pierced again, so I did. Well, I decided to try something new and different. I told Anna that I am going to make my own earrings with different designs that I like. So I came home looking for different ways to do them. One thing that really fascinated me was creating little decals with shrinkable plastic. They worked awesomely!! I can put my own designs and pics on the plastic sheets and they come out looking great! I already made several pieces with lemurs on them, and also some INXS earrings. I also like to buy the bracelet charms and convert those into earrings. I got some of those and they were seahorses encrusted in crystals, and they make fine earrings! Check these out:
I put those together myself. I like seahorses, and they remind me of the coast. Next time, I'm going to get little lighthouses and make those into earrings. I also found a chihuahua charm, and I'll be getting that and turning it into earrings. I also found a papillon dog charm, and I'll get those and turn them into earrings too. The papillon is quite pricey because it's made of good-quality pure silver, but it's worth it! Few other places carry that breed. And I have yet to find a lemur charm. Well, I am learning something else as well. I'm trying to teach myself to make my own charms. I think I can do it! I learned how to make pewter, and I learned where to get that enamel stuff. I just need a few things to complete that project, and I'll be on my way! I need to get a jewelry torch for one thing. It's easier than keeping a kiln in my apartment! I found out where to get the enameling powder too. So soon, I will be making my own brand of charms. I can make all animals I like, plus throw in a few from my Metazoic site as well.
So this should keep me busy. And keep me busy for quite a while! Once I start. I also thought about mass-producing these and selling them at the local farmer's market. I need to produce enough though. Right now I am just starting, and I haven't perfected it yet. I need a lot more practice. Though my seahorses came out great, I think I could do a little bit better. But with a creative mind like I have, it shouldn't take long for me to learn. Like I said before, I dwell on creativity :)

Cut The Fat!
I was reading an article on Yahoo today and it's about the rise in obesity among American adults. I left a couple of comments. One was saying that I wanted to join a gym once before, but that I couldn't because it costs too much. The last time I tried to join a gym, it would have costed me about $400. That was in 1997. Who knows how much it would be up to now! Back then I wasn't even fat, I just wanted to join to remain in good condition. But it gives a clear indication as to why many Americans are so fat now, and that number is rising! Mostly among poor folks. Something needs to be done. It costs so much to join a gym, and junk food is the cheapest you can buy now. It's sad! Though I think I can live pretty good on bananas alone. I saw a video of one girl who eats 40 bananas a day, and she said she's doing fine. I love bananas! I could probably try that easily, and bananas around here are the cheapest health food you can find.
I won't get too heavily into the comments because as weird as this may sound, I actually agreed with most of them. Well, not ALL of them, but most of them! I don't agree with the people who are just there to blow steam off on their hatred for fat people. But there were some comments that really interested me. One guy from Oregon said he was frustrated because he's single and he's running out of choices. Actually I kinda laughed at his comment. I was thinking either he should move someplace else, or learn to like fat women. Either that or count on remaining single for the rest of his life. That was the comical side. But some more seriously interesting comments I read, one person said she heard of a woman who is suing Nutella for making her kids fat. Ya know I really hate hearing stories like that! And it seems to happen so often!! First some teenagers sued McDonald's for making them fat, and now I hear Nutella is being sued for making some dumbass mom's kids fat! Why sue the company, unless they forced that woman to buy their product for her children. Otherwise, a person has the option to say NO!! If that mom wants to sue someone, she could sue her children for possibly whining and wheedling her to distraction to buy that junk! Well, it makes much better sense than suing Nutella! Those kind of people give us decent fat people a bad name!
I also find it funny how most people believe only fat women are the problem. They seem to forget that there are plenty of fat men too. But I find it funny how most of the people making fun of fat people are almost always men. Women rarely make fun of fat women, it's mostly a biproduct of egotistical men. The only women I've seen making fun of other fat women are teenagers, not really women. Well, not all thin, teenage girls make fun of fat women. I never did. I have much more self-respect than that! I wasn't even a fat teenager. I just had more respect for adults than what teenagers today have. And when I was younger, I prefered to make friends, not enemies. I was different then.
Another person said not to use being poor as an excuse for being fat. Well, that's where most of this breeds, is among poor families. Sad as it is, it's true. Like I mentioned how I tried to join a gym, and was told the membership would cost $400. That's what isn't right! I remember one time a local gym had a free trial membership for a month, and I joined then, just long enough for the free membership. I remember I went there EVERY day! Twice a day in fact. I enjoyed it. Back in those days, I didn't have days where I just didn't want to see anyone. Nowadays I do have those kind of days. I don't like having those kind of days, but they do come on. Back when I lived on the coast, I used to take daily walks on the beach. I liked it because it was nice and secluded, no threat whatsoever of being assaulted or harassed by people. One of the many reasons I hate people and there are days that I just don't want to see a person. There is a story on the internet that talks about a large woman who went walking every day, and some kids drove by in their vehicle and threw garbage at that woman. That kinda defeats the purpose of someone who is overweight and trying to do something about it by going walking. But it's enough to keep me from walking in a town this size. Though it hasn't happened to me yet, there's always that lingering fear. That's why I really want to go back to Ocean Shores. People there were not at all like that.
But anyway, those stats are scary! I'm not the type to sue a company because I bought their food, ate it and got fat! As I know that was nobody's choice but mine. One commenter on here mentioned that I should try a vegan diet for about 3 months to see if I like it. While I really don't want to try going vegan, I might like to try becoming a fruitarian. Drink lots of juices and live on bananas and apples for 3 months. See if it does me any good at all. Though it's going to be hard giving up meat. I can't even lie and say I'd be doing it to save some cow's butts. But what I read today, and saw, really struck a nerve with me. That and the fact that I actually agreed with most of the comments!

Montana Drivers
GEEZZZZ!! I hate Montana drivers!!!! There is nothing in the World that is worse than a stupid Montana driver who thinks they own the road, and shows absolutely no common courtesy! I was just driving down the road and all of a sudden, this jackass in this big dark SUV cuts me off. I honk my horn at him and call him every name I can think of. He pulls into the lane next to me. I keep my eye on him, not knowing what the Hell he's going to do next. We drive for another 2 or 3 blocks and wouldn't you know it, that guy turns on his signal and wants to pull back in front of me again. I honked my horn at him again, telling him "Don't you dare pull up in front of me again buddy!" He did try, but I swerved around him, stopping him from pulling in. As we drove by, Anna and I got a good look at the driver's face. He was mean and evil-looking! I don't care though! He can be as evil as he desires in his own home, but shouldn't take his anger and frustration out on me! I don't know him from Adam! I have nothing to do with how evil he is!
That's one of the things I've noticed about the white Montana cocksuckers around here, they completely lack common courtesy when they're driving! Makes me mad as Hell!! And I'm not the only one here that thinks that! Other Bozeman residents have also complained about the drivers here. Either they are blasting their music up too loud, or they cut people off on the road, or they're driving 500 MPH on a 35 MPH road! I see gripes like that all the time in the Bozeman Craigslist Rants and Raves forum! Almost on a daily basis, if someone isn't bitching about something frivolous like how ugly the people are at a bar. The managers expect you to get drunk enough at those places that the girls begin to look good to you. I drove through Los Angeles and San Francisco once before and I never remember the drivers in those two big cities to ever be as bad as they are here in Bozeman!! I can't wait to get back to the coast. At least there the drivers were much more courteous than they are here! I hate how these white Montana cocksuckers think they own everything and can control who does what here, or who goes in or out of this state. Upon coming here, I never was asked for a passport! So my advice to these dipshits, SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND LEARN SOME FUCKING MANNERS YOU TWATS!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, in other news, I was watching more damn videos of the Westboro Baptist Church. Like I said before, these people are so dumb they fascinate me! LOL! I continue to watch videos of them, and the more I do, the more I hate the Phelps and their followers. Well, one user who calls himself sammy2trees and I have been going back and forth all morning (when I've been in). He said something, a general term about Christians that I found particularly offensive. He said that all Christians are the same as the members of the WBC. This was the post he made that got me started:
"It cracks me up how many of you so-called "true Christians" come on here and call these people crazy, evil, and desperately try to distinguish yourselves from this group. Truth is you're all the same and hold the same, archaic, absurd beliefs regardless of denomination. The only difference between you and them is the aggressiveness and intensity by which the message is delivered. These people do add vitriol and exaggeration in their delivery, but in the end its still the same baseless crap!"
I believe this person is an atheist. I'm not trying to get him to believe there is a GOD, but I found his saying ALL christians are the same as the WBC very offensive! I told him he will never see me pushing my beliefs on anyone! The WBC dwells on hatred, whereas I dwell on love and understanding. To compare me to those stupid hatemongers I take that very personally! To put the word Christian and the Westboro Baptist Church in the same sentence is an insult!! If you've read back in this blog, I've said several times there are things in the Bible that I question. GOD forgive me for that, but I have some troubles with what is printed in the Bible, which was written by man, not by GOD! It was originally considered a sin to eat apples. Well if it was a sin, why are apples so good for us?
Here's another tidbit of info, it has been confirmed the WBC does not know ANYTHING about the Bible. I knew it all along, they pick and choose the few scriptures to follow, and embellish on those. And it's OK for them to commit a sin, but anyone else who does it is going to Hell. LOL! Yep, those people make me sick every day of my life! And Shirley is gay herself! She can't hide that! Don't compare all Christians to the hypocrites of the WBC!! We are NOT all alike! Spend a day with me one on one, you'll find I am just like everyone else in that I like to have fun, sin or not, I don't judge anyone as harshly as they do, and in all reality, I very rarely bring up the Bible to anyone unless I am asked about it. Then I only say things relevant to the conversation, and try to keep it at a minimum. The WBC goes on and on and on, blaming everything on gay people and all that shit, I was watching a clip where they were talking about the space shuttle Challenger went down because of gay people! I sat here thinking "What the Hell has the Challenger accident got to do with gay people????!!!!" Believe me, I am not in the WBC's league!! They've got no brains! I have! Well, at least I know enough to know gays had nothing to do with the Challenger incident!

Scoffers and Mockers
LOL! Another rant about the Westboro Baptist Church is coming your way on my site! I saw another video about a guy who wanted to interview them, and he was very respectful and nice, just asking them about their signs and beliefs. He started to throw some pretty harsh questions at them, and they stopped talking to him right away, calling him a "mocker" and a "scoffer". He didn't even give them that mocking tone that comes with people who are really mockers and scoffers. He was just asking them about their beliefs. The WBC was just upset because they have no answers for all their beliefs. They preach nothing but hate and everyone knows it, including themselves. UGH!! These people sicken me every day of my life! But I find them so spiritually inaccurate that they fascinate me as well. LOL! That does not mean I like them! But that's why I hate them so much and watch them on YouTube. I only watch interview shows with them, I never watch their preaching videos or music videos, which apparently they do have up on YouTube.
If you ask me, the only scoffers and mockers in their midst is themselves! You back them in a corner, they just give you that psychotic grin and tell you that you're going to Hell. Every time I hear them say that I think to myself "How the Hell would they know who's going to Hell and who isn't!?" Have these people even learned the 10 commandments?? Probably not, they seem to have broken a few on the way.
1. Honor only one GOD.
2. Do not worship carved images of anything on Earth, Heaven, or the seas.
3. Do not take the name of the LORD in vain.
4. Keep the Sabbath day Holy.
5. Honor your father and mother (kinda conflicts with commandment 1)
6. Thou shall not kill.
7. You shall not commit adultery (Shirley Phelps has a child out of wedlock and has been divorced once before).
8. Thou shall not steal.
9. Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor (the WBC does this all the time. Every time they say someone is going to Hell, when they have no clue!)
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's belongings (Really??? I do that all the time! Like I see someone with an ipad, I say I want one like it!)
I wonder how one gets by without breaking commandment #10? This is where I think the translation of the Bible went wrong. It also says the LORD is a jealous God. I don't think GOD feels jealousy! HE is supposed to be perfect. Someone who is perfect does not feel jealousy! That is an IMperfect emotion! I think I agree with most of the interviewers who say the WBC is not doing a good job at all getting their word across. Fred Phelps compares himself and his cult to Noah and the Ark. But I don't believe Noah went around telling people "GOD hates you!"
One of them has a daughter named Loren who was kicked out of their church for pointing out their hatred and hypocrisy. And LORD knows the WBC is full of hypocrisy! It's OK for them to spew messages of hate and harass the families of fallen soldiers, they call it free speech. But when someone confronts them about their sanctimonious belief system, they call that person a "mocker" or a "scoffer" or a "rebel" and tell them they're going to Hell. Loren said before she was kicked out of the WBC, she stood there in front of her father begging and pleading with him to let her stay. She said her parents stood in front of her, watching her cry her eyes out, and they started laughing at her! How weird is that?! I thank GOD I never had parents like that. I feel bad for Loren, but at the same time, I think she did the right thing! She's better off without that so-called church.
If you ask me, the only scoffers and mockers in their midst is themselves! You back them in a corner, they just give you that psychotic grin and tell you that you're going to Hell. Every time I hear them say that I think to myself "How the Hell would they know who's going to Hell and who isn't!?" Have these people even learned the 10 commandments??

I think I agree with most of the interviewers who say the WBC is not doing a good job at all getting their word across. Fred Phelps compares himself and his cult to Noah and the Ark. But I don't believe Noah went around telling people "GOD hates you!"
One of them has a daughter named Loren who was kicked out of their church for pointing out their hatred and hypocrisy. And LORD knows the WBC is full of hypocrisy! It's OK for them to spew messages of hate and harass the families of fallen soldiers, they call it free speech. But when someone confronts them about their sanctimonious belief system, they call that person a "mocker" or a "scoffer" or a "rebel" and tell them they're going to Hell. Loren said before she was kicked out of the WBC, she stood there in front of her father begging and pleading with him to let her stay. She said her parents stood in front of her, watching her cry her eyes out, and they started laughing at her! How weird is that?! I thank GOD I never had parents like that. I feel bad for Loren, but at the same time, I think she did the right thing! She's better off without that so-called church.

"Sexy" Animals
No, I am not into bestiality. But I was watching a video last night and it was about a woman who is obsessed with letting her toenails grow long. It looked painful to me! But she said she liked long toenails because they make her feel sexy. She said she feels like a feline sometimes. I was like "WHAT???" I said there is NOTHING sexy about felines! I've heard that reference once before and I often wondered what in the hell makes felines seem sexy? I am still old enough to remember when "foxy" meant "sexy", and if a person was going to go that route, I would have to say foxes are a lot sexier than felines!
As far as I can see, even when I used to like felines, nothing on a feline is what would be considered sexy in the human world. Felines don't have buns, their legs are saggy like cellulite. They don't have shoulders or boobs. They're lazy and slow-moving, lumbering when they walk, and they have that ugly flap of flesh hanging from their belly. There is nothing "sexy" about any of that. That's like saying that I'm sexy, as I have most of those features myself. The only thing that I can think of that would make people refer to felines as "sexy" is the fact that a male cat will mate with anything. Maybe even a fencepost! LOL! But looking at foxes, I can see where the term "foxy lady" came from. Foxes are graceful, dainty animals, just like one would expect from a very attractive person. And they have buns. I won't say they have sexy buns as I don't go that route, but at least their buns don't have cellulite like a cat does! Cats have no buns at all. Just an ugly, saggy backside. I just don't see the connection between them and sexiness. Not even when I used to like felines.
I've been reading recently about having foxes as pets. Some say they make the perfect pet. They have a kind of independence about them that they can in some ways care for themselves, at the same time they also have all the affection a dog has. Foxes can be trained to use a litterbox, just like a cat. And I just think foxes are cute! They have sweet little faces, and lovely tails! To me they are just wonderful animals. I'd love to have a fox for a pet. Maybe someday. Foxes are also quite acrobatic, and are extremely graceful animals. I've seen kit foxes move before, and they are so swift and graceful, they literally seem to glide over the ground! I've never seen a cat do that. Cats lumber along the ground. I don't think cats are graceful in any way, shape or form. Not even close to as graceful as a fox is! Foxes, like lemurs, seem to move effortlessly. That's what defines true liquid movement to me. I'd love to have either a lemur or a fox as a pet! Maybe someday I'll get both. Fennec foxes are so cute! They aren't allowed though here in Montana. I used to know of a breeder of fennec foxes in Oregon. I kinda wonder if they are still allowed there? I'll probably find out when I get back there and go to my next exotic bird and reptile expo. I can hardly wait!
That's one of the things I am looking forward to when I move back to the coast. I miss being able to go to those shows, and I haven't been able to go since I moved to Ocean Shores. One thing I do remember about those shows, you can find almost any kind of bird or reptile. I got a film of the expo I went to in 2000, and I came home with LOTS of goodies! I still remember the first one I went to back in 1992. Back then, the expo was held in May. Now it's held in February. I had just learned to drive a car and got my first driver's license, and I saw the ads that said there was an exotic bird and reptile expo being held in the Portland/Hillsboro area. I figured I could now drive us down there now that I had a driver's license. I was a little bit nervous, but I did it anyway, and we made a weekend of it. It was my first time in Portland with just me and Anna. We stayed at this hotel in Hillsboro. I was just a young sprig then, barely out of high school, so I was getting my first taste of independence. Well, one of the first things I learned when I got there was the people of Hillsboro are not very friendly! That could be because Hillsboro is a town of rich people, and rich people are ALWAYS stuck-up!! Me and Anna got into a little fight with the maintenance woman at the hotel because we had a dog. Well, we told them we had a dog when we signed in. But that woman was barking at us saying that she will press charges if the dog does anything in the room. I said to her that I thought that's what the security deposit was all about. Well, she slammed out that door bitching some more. I didn't pay much attention to what she said. I didn't even realize what was wrong with her until I found out she was not the only person in that town that was like that. Almost everyone in Hillsboro is crazy and bitchy like that. Like I said, it's a town of rich people. I hate rich people!
Now, I don't mean people who work hard and have 6-7 figure incomes, my supervisor makes 6 figures a year. But she works hard for it. I'm talking about the people who were born rich and didn't have to lift a finger for it. Kinda like ol' Tracy Burbank of the Puyallup Fair (who ironically--or not so ironically-- was also from Hillsboro). She inherited that job from her family. She didn't have to work hard for any of it. Rich people like her, I don't like at all. And they're almost always spoiled little brats. I'm sure that maintenance woman (who may have even owned the hotel we stayed at) had the same kind of advantage as Tracy did. She probably inherited that hotel from her parents too. That's why she acted like a spoiled brat. Both her and Tracy were people I just wanted to punch in their faces! The only reason I didn't is because no matter how wretched they are, I have some amount of respect for my elders. But those little rich mama's girls, I probably could have just tweaked their noses and they'd probably go crying like the little whiny bitches they are!

Just A Random Post
This is just a random post because I have a lot of time on my hands now and I am bored. My buddies are at the dog park, but I don't need to be there until 10:30 AM. It is now (as of beginning this typing) 8:32 AM. So I'll just be typing about things I am thinking about. No particular subject.
So yesterday I had to go to the City building and get pet licenses for my dogs. I never had to do that before! I had no idea how to actually handle it. The last time I ever bought a license for a pet was in 1984, after our dog Andy chased the neighbor's cat and the owner got pissed about it and called Animal Control. They said if we didn't get licenses for our dogs they were going to be impounded. So my ma and pa had to buy licenses for them. That was the last time we ever bought licenses for any pets! I never had to do it myself. So I was unaware of how the proceedure went. But the owners of this complex are now demanding that all pets get licenses, even indoor cats. One of the people who works for the owners is not an animal person. I was told if she had her way there would be no animals allowed in this building at all. She even told the office secretary, Deb, that there may be an extra $300 pet deposit on such things as birds and fish! Birds, I can see there being a pet deposit put on. I think of birds as pets. But fish?! That's dumb! I don't think of fish as pets. I think of them as living decorations. But I refuse to give up my fishtank! I don't care if I do have to put down an extra $300 I won't get rid of my tank! But I must say now that I think that stinks! Fish are not real pets, we should not have to put down a pet deposit on fish! The only consolation I have is that I'll be getting all of this money back when I move out.
Oh yes, and another thing, I was watching another video yesterday about the Westboro Baptist Church picketing the Oscars in Hollywood. Shirley Phelps was holding a sign saying that Whitney Houston was now in Hell. She was a fucking gospel singer! I highly doubt she's in hell!!! Well the person filming the protest is a user who calls himself XenuSmurf, and oh boy! Was he really laying it on thick with Shirley Phelps!! LOL! I think at one point I saw what looked like Shirley Phelps starting to cry. I hope I am right! She deserves it! One of their daughters was telling this guy that he was harassing them. Um, excuse me! That's as dumb a statement as it was for my old supervisor at the Puyallup Fair to say I was the one who was being rude! The WBC starts all this shit, they are the ones harassing! They are harassing the World with their stupid picket signs and dumb songs, and saying everyone outside their church is going to Hell. They have completely mistaken GOD's wrath with being hate. GOD does not hate! It's like when parents get angry with their kids. They don't hate their kids just because they get mad at them. At least not normal parents, maybe Fred Phelps does hate his kids when he gets mad at them. As full of hate as he is, I wouldn't be surprised! Well I can say that if I am right about Shirley Phelps crying because someone was giving her a dose of her own medicine, then it also proves I am right about them becoming afraid of their own actions. No one would be doing this to them if they didn't try to force their idiotic beliefs on everyone. I am a christian, but I don't feel it is my business to force anyone to believe what I believe. You'll never see me telling anyone "You'd better believe this or you're going to Hell!" I just tell people they have their beliefs and I have mine.
When I talk about GOD, I usually do it in a more respectful way. I know I cannot make everyone believe my experiences really happened. All I can do is tell people what happened to me, and they can believe it or not. It's their prerogative. I am a firm believer in GOD, I don't always believe everything I see in the Bible, but I do believe in GOD. The bible was written by monks in the 4th century. By then a lot of the language of the scrolls was loosely translated. So some things I don't believe were meant to be said in the Bible. Like the thing about it being OK to rape children. Or that eating shellfish is a sin. And there are others. But one thing I am not here to do is change anyone's opinions and outlook. No one sees the World the same way. And I am as different as they come! Everyone has their idiosyncracies. Not meaning everyone is an "idiot" LOL! But everyone has that one thing that is unique to themselves.
You know, maybe being called an "idiot" is not such a bad thing! People call me that all the time. I always thought it was a bad name to call someone. But you know, maybe it fits me to a T! The word "idiot" is derived from the Greek word "idios", which actually means "one's own". Yes, I am "my own" person. I follow no one's standards, no matter how much they push them on me. I haven't yet given in to fanatical vegans or panther fanatics. I never have and I never will! And I am proud of the way I stand my ground. I love being different. Even if I were the only person left alive eating meat, I would love that! My favorite animals are lemurs, and the animals I hate the most are lions, tigers and leopards and I love it that I am among the few that hates them so much, and loves an animal that few others even think of. I still say anything a cat can do, a lemur can do better. Except maybe kill a gazelle. But heck, a dog can do that! LOL! So I remain unimpressed by cats and panthers. On that note, I am proud to be my own person.
That reminds me, last night I was watching a movie about a girl named Haley, who said some shit about a popular girl I think her name was Angie, on a social network. Haley's friend Dana spilled the beans in the restroom and one of Angie's friends overheard about it and checked out Dana's page and saw all the bad things that Haley wrote about Angie and her friends. One of Angie's friends, named Cristin, has real anger-management problems. She was the one who told Angie about the things Haley said, then they decided to jump Haley and beat her up for the things she said. Cristin did most of the beating, and beat Haley beyond belief!! It was a sickening sight! It's also made me think of why I always take every threat seriously, even those people give me online. Someone wishes death on me, I take that as a threat! Someone comes out and says "I'm gonna beat you up!" I take it as a threat! But hey, if they want to try, I must remind them that I am a big girl! I can easily subdue them if I want to just by sitting on them. But Haley's case was different. She was smaller than Cristin. I was the same when I was younger, I was smaller than most other kids my age too. I'm still short, but being fat has an advantage too. The movie is called Girl Fight, and it was on LMN last night. It's such a good movie, I decided to order it. I didn't like seeing Haley get beat up like that, but I did enjoy seeing Cristin get her rewards in the end! It's based on a true story, and Cristin, whatever her real name is, I hope she gets some serious counceling! The movie depicted her as someone who'd really need it!
Damn! That's what I hate about teenagers! They take every emotion to extremes. In Ocean Shores, the teenagers were usually not that bad. Unless they were transients, but it was rare for a "native" to be too extreme. I still hate teenagers! No matter what. Because I know even the nicest-sounding teenager can snap at any minute. Well, maybe not all of them are bad. I've met some nice teens. But still there is that fear that they can snap! And sometimes do. I've seen it happen before. They can be nice and sweet one minute, and snippy and angry the next minute. And especially teenage girls, they can carry a grudge forever! You know they say a man can bash another man's head in and afterwords, invite that man out for a drink. Women slap, pull hair, and scream at each other and that grudge is carried for the rest of their lives. I never believed that was true, but I am slowly beginning to realize that is true! That is how women work! I must be different, as I always try to be forgiving. But usually not until the other person really repents.
Well, it's after 10 AM, and this post has gone around in circles long enough. It's time to put it to rest. Soon I have to go to the dog park with Minnie. I'm hoping we can get Brandi cured of her jealousy, which is why she always attacks Minnie. Minnie is so little and sweet! She doesn't deserve to have Brandi attack her like that! I just hope the problem can be fixed. I'd hate to see Lois lose Brandi, but at the same time I have to protect my baby girl!

New "Breed"??
I was referred to this new site called yardsellr.com. It's a cool site and they have a lot of neat stuff. There's also a pet section, which is usually the first place I visit to look for new gadgets for my babies. I'd like to get them a doggy car seat some day! Well, while I was looking, I saw a post where someone was selling what they referred to as a "new rare, rare breed". It was a litter of mutts! The father was a labrador and the mom was a cattle dog. I told that person that that is not a rare breed. That's a mutt that anyone can produce. And has produced! I see labrador and heeler crosses advertised all the time here in Montana. Both breeds are very common here. I hate people who mislead the public and say that their randomly crossed mongrel puppies are some "rare breed"! They're not even a breed. They're mutts. Call them what they are! It takes more than 30 some odd years to create a true breed. Much less those only created in a matter of 10 years. And mongrels are not real breeds. But because of this damned hybrid vigor, people continue to breed mixed breeds and call them "new rare breeds".
Creating a breed is not something that can be done by random individuals who do not know what they are doing. And it cannot be done in a matter of a few years by people only looking to make money. All the true breeds you see today were created over YEARS of proper breeding from people who had a general purpose for that breed (NOT to make money) and knew what they were doing. And to get those desired traits, one has to cull (in today's terms, spay/neuter and adopt out) the pups that do not carry the desired characteristics. That does not include selling the pups for $1000 each at 6 weeks old. Pups are just beginning to develop their own personalities then. In order to know which pups will have the characteristic the creator wants in their new breed, you have to carefully observe each puppy for at least the first 6 months of life. Creating a new breed is a very LONG and tedious process. It should only be attempted by people with a lot of patience and no desire to make money off their new breed. Unfortunately that is what a lot of mongrel breeders are doing it for today, which is why none of these so-called "designer mutts" will ever be anything more than just a mongrel. One that a person should NOT pay more than $300 for (and that's really stretching it!) Instead, such an animal should only be adopted from a pound. Today's people have no idea what makes a breed a true breed.
So what does make a breed a breed? This is what I found in my research on the internet:
"By definition, a breed can be described as a unique group of animals whose phenotype and genotype distinguish it from all others. Both are central to a breed’s identity."
This is what makes a breed unique. It's almost the same concept of what separates one species from another. You cannot get a wolf out of mating 2 bobcats. Thus you cannot get a poodle out of the mating of 2 labradors. You can only get labradors out of 2 labradors. The pups that come out will be just like the parents. They will have the same appearance, and characteristics as the parents have. Labradors are known for being playful and intelligent, they are also known for shedding a lot and were bred to retrieve ducks from the water. This is what makes them a true breed. Parents reproduce themselves, and it goes on from one generation to another. With mongrels, it's a crap-shoot. Especially if you are using F1 mixes. Even F2 mixes don't guarantee results. This is a process that will take many generations. The characteristics you want may not set in until you have the F60 mixes produced.
So why create a breed? First of all, you have to have a good reason to create the breed. Smaller dogs make fine companions, but what need can a person fill to create this smaller dog? There is a reason that there are fewer small dogs than bigger or medium-sized dogs. Smaller dogs are better suited for apartment living. Smaller dogs are made for carrying around, and some for guarding, mostly for royalty. Back in those days, many breeds were created for the sake of royal favors. But with those high ranks now all but gone, being replaced by modern government styles, the need to develop new breeds is depleating. But some are still being developed, simply for the fun of it. One of the newest true breeds in the canine world is the Alaskan Klee-kai, it's simply a miniature version of the Siberian Husky. But this breed was created by a single family from the 1960s to today. They didn't even reveal to the World that they were creating this new breed until the mid 1980s, when the owner of the kennel, and the breed's creator, was finally talked in to selling a female to a family friend. This family friend agreed to breed only to dogs bred by this one kennel. It was a mutual task they started, and today the Klee-kai is breeding true and is even registerable through the UKC, which is a reputable registry.
Another thing, don't be fooled by the Continental Kennel Club's recognition of such mixed breeds as labradoos and Goldoos and other such popular mutts. First of all, Continental Kennel Club is NOT a reputable registry! Just because they use the same initials as the Canadian Kennel Club does not mean that they are reputable! Neither is American Pet Registry, Inc. (APRI). Neither one has a stud book in place, and they don't have breeders that keep proper records (most of the breeders who use such phony registries are nothing more than AKC's rejects), they don't have any standards for their breeds, they recognize cat breeds as well as dog breeds, and I've seen pics of a show that APRI has put on, and I can tell you the dogs that were shown there were a joke! There was a yorkshire terrier at that show that was dirty, hair was out of place, ungroomed, if that had been an AKC show, the dog would have been laughed right off the stage! Unfortunately now AKC is recognizing some of these popular mixed breeds and I think that is a BAD idea! But they aren't recognizing them for confirmation, only for such things as agility, and they don't condone breeding them.
I remember a long time ago, this one woman and I got into a little spat because she was breeding mixed breeds and I said I don't agree with breeding mixed breeds. So she got pissed off at me. I told her one of the main problems I have with breeding mutts is the dumb names people are giving them. They take the names of 2 legitimate breeds and combine them to make the new mutt sound like a true breed. Well, she mentioned that she was helping to create something called a "carlin pinscher". She claimed it was a legitimate breed in the making by crossing a pug and a miniature pinscher. At first I thought it could be the roots to a true breed. And then, I looked it up later on and found out the name is still a combination of 2 real breeds. "Carlin" is simply another word for Pug. So it's still a mutt name. As long as it is, I will forever think of it as nothing but a mutt. Not a true breed, never will be. This woman does not sound like she knows what she's doing at all (she calls herself "wildcat"). Anyone with a nickname like that has got to be stupid, underhanded and lazy! Just like a wild cat. I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her!

Creating a breed is not something that can be done by random individuals who do not know what they are doing. And it cannot be done in a matter of a few years by people only looking to make money. All the true breeds you see today were created over YEARS of proper breeding from people who had a general purpose for that breed (NOT to make money) and knew what they were doing. And to get those desired traits, one has to cull (in today's terms, spay/neuter and adopt out) the pups that do not carry the desired characteristics. That does not include selling the pups for $1000 each at 6 weeks old. Pups are just beginning to develop their own personalities then. In order to know which pups will have the characteristic the creator wants in their new breed, you have to carefully observe each puppy for at least the first 6 months of life. Creating a new breed is a very LONG and tedious process. It should only be attempted by people with a lot of patience and no desire to make money off their new breed. Unfortunately that is what a lot of mongrel breeders are doing it for today, which is why none of these so-called "designer mutts" will ever be anything more than just a mongrel. One that a person should NOT pay more than $300 for (and that's really stretching it!) Instead, such an animal should only be adopted from a pound. Today's people have no idea what makes a breed a true breed.

Kids Who Bully
I hate bullies! Plain and simple! There is just no good reason to bully anybody. Why do kids bully others? Well for only one real reason: They're dumb! I used to think they were just kids with low self-esteem that felt like they had to make another kid feel bad just to make themselves feel better. While I believe that is the case in some kids, it's only partly true. Some kids do it because they are the dominant kids. Like the oldest kid in the family bullying the younger. Or like my landlord's dog bullying Minnie. But kids (and dogs) that are dominant want to stay that way. So they beat up the smaller, weaker kids to basically say to everyone "This is what I am capable of doing. And I'll do the same to you if you ever make me feel inferior!" I went through most of my childhood as a loner. All I wanted was to be left alone! If someone liked me, fine. I'll play and have fun with them. But those who didn't like me, it was fine too as long as they left me alone. But that was just too much for the bullies to take. They hated it that I ignored them for the most part and didn't want them around me. I wish I had stuck up for myself more when I was a kid. But before I turned 10 years old, I let every kid who wanted to harass me walk all over me. That's probably what molded me into the person I am today! I no longer stand idly by and just let people walk all over me. A grizzly bear is not born knowing how to handle intruders. It learns it from it's mom.
Whenever I had a problem when I was a kid, I used to tell ma and let her handle it. Looking back on that now, it may have done me more harm than good. But when I was a kid, I didn't learn how to stick up for myself. But I think having my parents fight my battles for me as a child did not help me at all. So after I turned 10 years old, I started learning to stick up for myself. Well, when I was 10, I got into a big, nasty battle with someone and we both got in big trouble. I was actually scared of what my parents were going to do, me getting in trouble like that. I'd never been in trouble like that before. Ever since then, I just took pains to completely avoid any kind of confrontation. I just went my way, and let the other kids go their way. I am basically the same way now as an adult. I don't lash out unless I feel I have to. My attitude now is leave me alone and I will do the same for you. But even with that attitude, there's always some jackasses that are going to want to intrude in your life. I remember in Middle School, there was a gang of 4 boys, all friends with each other. They used to LOVE to harass me. I don't know why. The ringleader's name was Carlos Stewart. He had moved there from Germany the year before my incidents with him began. He was an African-American boy and there was this one girl in the classroom, named Teresa, that always called him the "N" word. I always hated it when Teresa would do things like that! Not just to Carlos, but she was offensive like that with EVERYBODY! Carlos was very quiet that first year after he arrived. It was the following year that I began having problems with him.
I don't know why I had any kind of problems with Carlos. I never did anything to him at all. Maybe because he saw me and Teresa talking to each other (we were never really friends) perhaps he thought that I was thinking the same thing about him as she did. But no, I didn't. At least not before I began having problems with him. But unlike Teresa, I usually like to give everyone a chance. I never even gave Carlos a single thought before I began having problems with him. It began innocently enough. I was visiting the art class he was in to pick up a book I wrote that I allowed the teacher to read. Carlos was standing at the teacher's desk area with some of his friends. I overheard him say I was an ugly chick. I just paid him no mind. My attitude was more like "So what if you think I'm ugly!" I didn't say a word to him, just got my book, and the compliments from the teacher (he thought it was a great story!) and went on my way. Didn't think any more about what Carlos had said any more than I thought about a dead leaf flowing with the wind. But it soon became apparent that there was more to that "meeting" than I had ever imagined. Normally, I could just brush-off comments like that like dust off my shoulders, and I did, and had all but forgotten that encounter with Carlos until very soon after when he began getting physical.
Now, he never touched me with his hands. His abuse toward me was delivered by throwing things at me. He would bite off the ends of his pencils, bring in bits of plastic and glass from the art classroom (when they were doing sand-blasting), or small pebbles, or even crumpled up sheets of paper, and throw them at me in class. Seemed to me like a Hell of a lot of trouble to go through just to try and get someone's attention that just didn't want anything in the world to do with him, but that was his prerogative. I still ignored him for the most part. He would throw the item and then turn around and sit in his chair like the most innocent being in the world, thinking I didn't see him stand up and toss that object at me. But what he never knew is that I have great peripheral vision. I saw him do these things. And his 3 friends, who were always around him, would always stick up for him and say he didn't do anything. Either they were dumb, blind or both. I'm banking on both! LOL! I would not have said anything if I didn't think it was Carlos, but I actually saw him do these things. And he did it every day every time I had him in the same class with me. It became too much for me. So I finally sought some advice about what to do from family and friends. Well, when I went to my ma for some advice, she became very concerned and went to the school the next day to confront the teacher. I was hoping after talking with the teacher that things would begin to get better, and Carlos would learn to just do his own thing with his own buddies and leave me out of it! But no, it only got worse.
Carlos still maintained that he didn't do anything to me, which I knew was wrong. Perhaps he was scared of his parents finding out about it too. I know I heard his father was a very strict disciplinarian. But for me, if I were him, if I didn't want trouble, I wouldn't have caused trouble. Well, the next thing I knew, all of Carlos's stupid friends were making me out to be the bad guy, even though I was the victim in this case. But I was the bad guy because I "got Carlos in trouble". LOL! But no, I didn't. All I wanted was to be left alone. Carlos got himself in trouble. Only a bully would force themselves on an innocent person the way Carlos did. Well, next thing I knew, kids all over the school, whether or not they were involved in this incident, were harassing me because I had mentioned this incident to my ma and she spoke to the teacher. In their minds, it was like I ran home and screamed "Mommy! Mommy! The kids in school are picking on me!" But actually, it wasn't like that at all. I sought answers about what to do from several individuals, friends and family. My ma was just the one who took action due to her deep concern. One of my friends said "Maybe he's doing this because he likes you." Which brought back to mind the encounter I had with him in the art classroom, when I overheard him say I was an ugly chick. I don't think someone who likes a girl is going to call that girl an "ugly chick", or try to hurt that girl. I see husbands abuse their wives they claim to "love" all the time on TV. I don't believe that is what love is! If I like someone, I want to see them happy, and I do everything in my powers to make that person happy. I would NEVER try to hurt or kill someone that I like.
Well, some months later, those friends of Carlos' still hadn't got that incident out of their minds. I remember one of Carlos' friends, Jason Ellis, told a friend of mine, named Heidi, about that incident. Heidi was one of the first friends I made when I entered Middle School, and she'd always been good to me. I met her through another girl named Vicki, who was no longer at this school at this time. Heidi and Vicki both approached me one day after confronting a girl named Stephanie, who had been slamming on me that day when I wasn't looking. I thought both Heidi and Vicki were wonderful people for standing up to Stephanie like that. Well, Jason just flat-out told Heidi that I told my ma that Carlos was throwing things at me. I looked at Heidi and she had developed this evil smirk on her face after he said that. Jason added "The whole class wasn't doing anything!" What Jason had said didn't bother me, I came to expect that attitude from him. But Heidi's reaction kinda surprised me. The look on her face reminded me of how Carlos' friends looked when they were sitting in the classroom, trying to make me out to be the bad guy. From that day on, I noticed a complete turnaround in Heidi's disposition. She started to become Jason Ellis, in a matter of speaking. LOL! But what was once a very sweet, good friend, suddenly turned into something of a monster, and she began shit-holing me like Jason and his friends did.
I remember one time the teacher started touching me in a very inappropriate manner, and I pushed his arms away from me, and in the process I accidentally scratched him. Well, the teacher capitalized on that accident and turned the class against me, and just like a fish blindly going in for the bait, the class went along with him. Jason Ellis kinda jokingly said "You want me to go get my gun?" And I also heard Heidi say "Why don't we just get rid of her!?" Then the teacher said to the class "Watch out! She's got rabies!" and the whole class screamed and pushed their desks away from me, including Heidi. I just said "Fine. At least I'm alone." I never told anyone about the teacher touching me like that. But I think I should have. Who knows if he's done it to someone else? And to think, he used to be one of my favorite teachers back then. Not anymore after that incident. I did hear later on that he has actually done something similar to another girl in the school. That's why he soon became known as the school's pervert.
Well, a few years back, I saw a special on Dr. Phil and they discussed bullying. They said to any kid who is being bullied to talk to a parent about it. And he was talking to kids who were in Middle School and High School. But I can tell you now, from personal experience, that is a BAD idea!!! For me, it only made things worse. Kids doing the bullying can say they are innocent, without proper proof, it's just one child's word against another's. My incident could have been proven correct if only the classroom I was in had surveillance cameras installed. That's what the classrooms need, and then the kids doing the bullying can be turned in to the proper authorities. Telling your parents does not work! It only makes it worse. That's speaking through personal experience.
Whenever I had a problem when I was a kid, I used to tell ma and let her handle it. Looking back on that now, it may have done me more harm than good. But when I was a kid, I didn't learn how to stick up for myself. But I think having my parents fight my battles for me as a child did not help me at all.

No More Anonymity
I've fixed this blog so I no longer allow anonymous posts. Now, you MUST sign in with a Google ID or an OpenID. I allowed anonymous comments for a while, but as usual, irresponsible people abuse the privilege. Those being the fanatical vegans. Now they must sign in using either a Google ID or OpenID, which covers a wide range of social networks. I should suggest to blogger to allow people to use their Facebook or Twitter IDs. Those would be good! But from now on, NO more anonymous comments. People wanna say something on my blog, then at least have an identity! Don't be a gutless wonder! LOL! :)
This should also aid in keeping out spammers too. Try it!

Dinner At The White House
I was reading yesterday about the Correspondence Dinner at the White House. A lot of politicians were there along with several journalists. But also among the guest list were many modern day celebrities. If you can call them "celebrities"! Apparently the Kardashians were there as well. One has to ask what the Hell got the Kardashians invited to the White House in the first place??? They're not really even celebrities. Everyone knows who they are, but that does not make them celebrities. The only reason the Kardashians are even on TV is because their family lived next door to OJ Simpson and they were friends with Michael Jackson. That's what they confessed to Oprah. That's the ONLY reason these people won a place in the public spotlight! No other reason in the World! They sure have no talent to speak of. None of them are even really attractive! I think Obama just wanted to get a piece of Kim's ass. Kim has a thing for dark guys (much like me). But apparently her last boyfriend was not satisfied with her. Obviously her performance in the bedroom must be as substandard as her "talent" on TV! I knew that marriage would not last! In the one picture I saw when Ray J proposed marriage to her, she looked happy, but he didn't.
Ray J looks more like he's counting the days on his fingers that he has to pretend to be in love with her. Apparently there is a story behind this marriage. She cheated on her first husband to be with this guy. That's kinda sad! But that's the scandal. She's really not the first celebrity to cheat on her husband for another man. Who knows? Maybe that is what made Kim Kardashian famous? She's not even attractive! Take away the years and thousands of dollars in plastic surgeries that she's obviously had, she'd probably look like me!
So I guess all one has to do to become a celebrity these days is live next door to an even more famous celebrity who has real talent. You don't need your own talent, just do like the Kardashians, sponge off the talent of someone like OJ Simpson and Michael Jackson, and the misfortune of Nicole Simpson. LOL! Well if that's the case then move me to the elite area of Beverly Hills! Or New York City!! I have potential for making movies, but as of now, I could benefit from some improvement. But I guess if I lived next door to a celebrity, I could just become famous from that. I could tell everyone that I live next door to George Clooney, and that he and I played together as children. LOL! That's fucking bullshit, but if I lived next door to him, I could pretend it's true just to become famous.
What has happened to the World today??? People used to have real talent. Look at INXS. There was a group that had exceptional talent. I loved them for it. Compare them to someone like Justin Beiber today. Beiber has no talent whatsoever! What he has is highly-payed sound alternators and talented sound engineers who work hard to make Justin Beiber sound better than he actually does. Nobody has talent nowadays. They have technology instead. It'd be great if we could actually lay off some of the modern technology and let the person's talent take over instead. I guarantee you, Justin Beiber would be laughed off the stage if his fans heard the voice he really has, I betcha. I could get on stage and sing, and probably sound better than Justin Beiber does! And I sound like broken bottles rubbing across rusty nails when I sing! But if I had the same sound mechanics and engineers that Justin Beiber has, I could sound like an angelic choir!
I was thinking about this not only because of the White House Correspondence Dinner, but also because I was watching the Three Stooges last night. Funny bunch of guys! I loved them. They seemed to be really popular in the 30s, 40s and 50s. Those were the days when people had real talent! And I mean REAL, raw talent!! Something that is totally bred out of people today. Even on television. I was remembering when I was a teenager and had a big thing for old movies and old movie stars. I remember back then I HATED the Three Stooges! I don't know why! Looking at their shows now, I often wonder why I hated them back then. Maybe I saw them as some kind of competition for the Marx Brothers, who was what I really loved back then. Actually by comparison, the Marx Brothers, except for Harpo, were relatively boring compared with the Three Stooges. If it weren't for Harpo, most of the Marx Brothers movies would not even be worth seeing. Especially after they left Paramount Pictures. Among their pictures, Duck Soup and Horsefeathers were probably my favorites. They came up with some cute quips in those movies. But the Three Stooges always put a lot of comedy action in their films! I loved it when they always smacked each other. I always find myself mimicking Curly, LOL! In a funny way. But he made it look a lot funnier than I can. He can growl and bark like a dog and make it sound cute. When I mimic him, I just sound stupid. In fact, no one makes it sound as cute as Curly did! I remember a lot of people back in Lakewood would sure try, but none of them sounded as cute as Curly did. I don't know what it was with that town. People there liked to act like dogs for some reason. I used to see it all the time. And all of them looked stupid doing it. I'm glad I never joined in with them. LOL! They did it all on their own.

GOD Is Great!
First of all, Atheists, stop reading now! This is not to change anyone's opinions of GOD.
I remember one time some dumbass said that I was cursed by a GOD because I was the ugliest thing he's (not GOD's) ever seen. LOL! Well, that comment was made by a dumbass teenage vegan fanatic. I don't think GOD gives half a bird's shit what a vegan teenager thinks of me. HE has been very good to me throughout most of my life. If I were cursed, that teenage vegan fanatic would have lived closer to me instead of all the way in Ontario, Canada. Ya see what happens when a country bans corporal punishment! You get kids like this fanatical vegan who never learned to treat people with respect. If he were my kid, teenager or not, I'd have smacked him, and smacked him GOOD!!!! That's what he needs. But there is no chance of him moving close to me. Montana is not a place for vegans! People here hunt animals for food and sport, it's a way of life here. They fish for food and sport. Basically most everyone here is tough and rugged, not the type I've seen among vegan fanatics. I've never seen any vegans here in fact. The closest I've seen to fanatical vegans here is cat people. But as far as I know, the cat people do not go hunting or fishing.
According to this teenager, all you have to do to be cursed by GOD, is to be the ugliest thing that kid has ever seen. LOL! Personally, as long as I have known GOD, being ugly is not a curse. Because GOD does not think any of HIS creations are ugly. But if being ugly were truly a curse, more ugly people would be victims of rape and murder. But that actually rarely happens. Unless the ugly person is a prostitute or something like that. But so far, GOD has been very good to me. I came close to being raped once, but that was when I was young and beautiful, and the dude who tried to rape me was so inexperienced, he was almost comical. If he had really wanted to rape me, he would have forced me into the bushes and done it. But he had no weapons (except maybe a 5-inch rock), and he wasn't forceful enough. So, I left unharmed. If I were really cursed, that guy would have had a much more formiddible weapon and would have force-raped me.
The Westboro Baptist Church says everyone is going to Hell and that they will be the only ones in Heaven. I saw another clip where Shirley was asked what if one of her children wanted to join the military, and she said she would NEVER allow it! Because none of her children would ever go overseas and fight for what she calls "a fag nation" or "a doomed nation". She would however allow her children to become lawyers and defend citizens of this "doomed nation". One way or another, that family is defending a country that they hate the most. It just doesn't make sense to me. I don't even understand why they want to even live in the USA. If I hated the USA as much as they do, I would surely leave here! But I don't. I hate the UK even more. LOL! I don't mean the scenery or the towns. I mean the people. Except maybe my friends, and I do have friends in the UK. Fred Phelps was a lawyer, and he was barred from being one because he once called one of his very own clients (the people who put money in his pocket) a slut, and told a lot of lies about someone that were proven not to be true. It's obvious he's a redneck! I also saw a video of a 4-year old girl in that extended family singing one of their stupid songs, and at the end of the song, I noticed even that little girl has that psychotic grin that the Phelps all seem to breed. Well why not? That's what inbreeding does. It works in dogs and cats. You inbreed to breed true. That's what happened to the Phelps family of the WBC. Sisters bred to brothers and cousins and perhaps Fred himself mated with his daughters, to produce that psychotic grin in all their descendants. They're the only kids on the planet that are born to hate.
UGH! Thank GOD I am not one of them. If I were truly cursed, then the WBC would look attractive to me. LOL! But no, I hate them as much as anyone. Watching a video of an interview with Fred Phelps, I wanted to scream at that man to just shut the fuck up!!! The man just never stops gabbing! Like I said, he reminds me a lot of my neighbor. I guess you could say I am cursed living next door to her, but it won't be for long. I'd only be cursed if she moves to the coast with me. I doubt though that would happen. I think she's one of these "native" Montanans (I don't mean the Indians, I mean the white cocksuckers) that hates people from out of state. She seems like it. But there is one good thing about her, she tends to tune me and Anna out when we're at the dog park. So we have a mutual admiration society, she leaves me alone, I leave her alone. But I still call her "motor-mouth". But that's because that's what she is! Back home, we have a name for people like her. We call them "attention-whores". She only goes to the dog park because no one else in this building will give her the time of day. So she seeks attention from my buddies, whom I go there specifically to see.
Well, the WBC can say what they want about me, say I am going to Hell, and all that bullshit. But GOD has been very good to me. If HE hadn't, believe me, I would have been dead now. I survived a great deal more than anyone will ever know! I've survived many bad spills. I've survived madmen. I survived living in Lakewood, WA. I survived Mount St. Helens' fury. I survived suicide attempts. I survived several bad illnesses. I've survived evil neighbors. Yep, GOD has been good to me throughout the years. And I thank HIM for that.

My Booby
Vegas had to go to the vet today, I rushed him to the one vet in this town that was open today that would let me postpone a check (having end-of-the-month money problems again!) I took a nap with him and Minnie, and when I got up, I was petting him, and when I got to his behind, he started to growl a little bit. I knew something had to be wrong, usually when we all wake up from a nap, Vegas likes to have a little scratch on his backside. I thought nothing much about it again, until I had to put him outside to go to the bathroom. I looked and he was bleeding from his butt. I looked at him and shouted "VEGAS!!!" I could not do anything about it right then, but I knew I had to do something as quick as I could. But first I needed to find a vet that would allow me to postdate a check. So I came back in and called around until I found one. Thank GOD I was able to find a vet fairly quickly. My usual vet is not open on weekends, and apparently does not have emergency services. So I rushed Vegas over there as fast as I could. I knew what was wrong, he had a ruptured anal gland. It happens to small dogs a lot. The vet cleaned it out and gave me some antibiotics to give to him. Vegas HATES the medicine!!! I also have to soak his rear end in warm water and epsom salts.
You would think with the economy the way it is that more vets would accept alternative payment plans. But no. Most vets are just interested in getting their money. I wish more vets would do their services for the love of the animals, but they don't. Especially not emergency services. That is why I had to call around. I didn't want this to go untreated. What if it became septic and I'd lose Vegas? I'd really feel terrible then! Sometimes I'm not even sure he gets his meds. I have to cut up each pill and give him half. I put the pill half in his mouth and try to hold it shut, but he keeps moving! But I just wish that more vets would actually help their patients regardless of the owner's ability to pay right away. After all, there are human hospitals like that. I don't see why veterinarians are not like that too. Maybe it's because having pets is considered a luxury. Most peoples' attitude is if you cannot afford pets, you shouldn't have one. But can't the same thing be said about having kids?? A person does not have to have kids. And look at how many are out there having them only to have the government pay for their care! I don't have kids, and really don't want any at all. I don't even want to get married! I've been there before and didn't like it. My dogs are my kids. If that sounds bad or twisted to some people, then that's just too bad for them! I like dogs better than kids. Dogs never back-talk you, and (almost) always obey you. A lot more than kids do anyway. Little dogs cost less to feed and you don't need to spend any money buying clothes or diapers for them. I think I should have the same rights as any person who has kids. Somewhere someone needs to create a vet hospital that will give the owner's dog care regardless of the owner's ability to pay.
If it weren't for most vets' inability to help an animal regardless of the owner's ability to pay for it right away, my Groucho might still be alive. The first vet I took her to was an emergency vet in Olympia. I waited in that waiting room for 30 minutes for the front desk secretary to ask the doctor if he would even look at my Groucho even though I only had $35 in my pocket at the time. I was willing to do ANYTHING to save my baby! I said I'll give them a postdated check, take down my credit card number, sign a promisory note, anything! But they would not even look at her. And thanks to that fraudulent "school" I went to, I don't qualify for Care Credit. So I could forget about that! That was 30 minutes of precious time wasted, time I could have had spent saving Groucho! But that dumbass doctor would not even look at her. Instead they sent me to another all-night hospital 30 miles away. That was about another 20-25 minutes wasted! But thankfully that vet looked at her. But could not save her. Anyone near to me would tell you how badly Groucho's death affected me. Katrina was here, Anna was here, my ma was here, my pa was too. It was Katrina and Anna who tried to get me to eat something one night, after I had not eaten anything for 3 days. It's just as bad, if not worse than, losing a child! Many parents would argue that I didn't carry that dog inside me for 9 months. I say SCREW THAT!!! Groucho and I were spiritually connected since before she was born. I cannot really explain it, but there was a spiritual connection there. And everything that dog did was cute! No matter what it was. My favorite thing was when she would jump on my bed when I was lying on it, make her way up to my arms that would be folded in front of me, crawl in between my arms, get on her back, kick up her feet, and lick my ears! That was so adorable!!! I wish I had gotten a video of her doing that because now, I sure do miss it! Vegas doesn't do that. Neither does Minnie. Minnie barely lets anyone pet her, let alone crawl up and cuddle in my arms!
Ironically, I got Minnie to help me get over losing Groucho. Vegas alone just was not cutting it. I don't know why! But when I got Minnie, I started being able to get Groucho out of my mind better. I stopped crying every 10-20 minutes and began to smile again. I've been tear-free now for almost 4 years, since I got Minnie. But Minnie is not as lovable as Groucho. She was raised by a breeder who obviously did not love her, just had her as a puppy-producing machine. So Minnie came to me not really trusting anyone. She's gotten a little bit better, but she still acts a bit scared when someone holds her.

The Most Hated Family
Well, you all know I have been talking about the Westboro Baptist Church for a while now. I swear if there is one thing I hate, it's fanatical christians like them! They'll even take their own beliefs about GOD over their own children, that's how far they go. I guess this strikes me hard because when I was a kid, I always thought my ma put religion over me too. I constantly watch videos of these people on YouTube, trying to gain some understanding. What they say about the Bible is true, but it's not the whole truth. What they do is they take all the negativity and hate mentioned in the Bible and exaggerate it beyond recognition. I even watched a session that had Shirley Phelps talking in a classroom to a bunch of college students, the whole thing was filmed. Someone asked her about this child she had out of wedlock, to which her answer to him was "That's none of your business!" I agree with her there, that should be left in the past. My biggest concern with that comment coming out of Shirley's mouth is, since it's obvious she was able to repent and ask GOD's forgiveness for that, and put that behind her, why is it OK for her and that dumb, so-called "church" she goes to, to poke their noses in another person's business and shout out loud "GOD hates you!" and "You're going to Hell!"?? If I were a passer-by on the street, I would say exactly the same thing to them.
They claim they have rights to free speech, but I don't think that should include things like telling the families of fallen soldiers that their family member is in Hell now. That's like biting the hand that feeds you. But then again, that's what has made them famous. Sometimes I think for the Phelps family, they are not doing this to "warn" anyone of anything, they are not doing this to become "messengers of GOD". I think they're doing it for only one reason: For fame and acknowledgement. But there is a difference between becoming famous and becoming infamous. I'm myself kindof on the line between the two so I know what it's like to be there. But I am not running a "church" of any kind. I'm safely in my home. I have websites, but none of them have my phone number up. I've seen several videos on YouTube where people have prank-called the Westboro Baptist Church. Now, when you call them, all you get is an answering service. I even saw a video where someone called the Phelps' lawfirm, requesting to speak to one of the Phelps. He told them he was having problems with some demons. Well, they kept hanging up on him, so he even got his friend to contact them and the manager of the lawfirm told him never to contact them again or they were going to turn them in to the police. LOL!
You know what that all means? It seems to me that the members of the Westboro Baptist Church have become scared of their own actions. Now that they have all the fame they could ever ask for, even though for the most part, it's not good fame, they have become scared of their actions because people now are starting to fight back, and fight back hard! Like a gang of wolverines. Personally, if I were so scared as to hang up on people who called my workplace, or have only an answering service handle all my phone calls (with 9 options no less), I just would not keep doing what I've been doing. A person would have to be pretty sick in the head to do something that has gotten them that much negative attention, and keep on doing it. Especially where religion is concerned, and pushing their beliefs the way these people do. You will never see me picketing anywhere because I just don't believe in pushing my beliefs on others. My ma used to picket a lot! But only businesses that did her wrong. Not the innocent funerals of fallen soldiers. I mean, the WBC travels all around the country just to picket these funerals! I'd never go that far, I would be embarrassed if I were them! They've been banned from going to places like Canada and the UK. Seriously! They travel all the way from Kansas to the UK just to picket a soldier's funeral and push their beliefs on others???!!! That just goes to prove how nutty these people are!
In one clip I saw, Shirley gave reference to Noah and the ark. Well, GOD did not banish anyone from boarding the ark! HE just gave them a choice and most of the people back then chose to ignore them. Some even laughed. The WBC has banished a lot of people from their church. Including their own children! And they condemn to Hell anyone who disagrees with them. Well, I don't totally disagree with them, I know all about GOD's wrath. I just don't believe HE hates anybody like these people love to point out, as if that's the only thing GOD feels for HIS people. That kind of belief system is what makes the members of the WBC look stupid! Not to mention Shirley's psychotic grin. Her children even have that same grin. I see that grin, and it makes me want to slap the daylights out of them!
Well, I am actually glad to see they are becoming scared of their own actions. That's good! Perhaps it'll make them stop to think about the pain they are causing others. I heard Fred Phelps even makes videos. I saw an interview someone did with him, and the man just never shuts up! He reminds me a lot of my wacky neighbor. I call her "motor-mouth" for a reason. Because she just never shuts up. She keeps yakking even when no one is listening. So does Fred Phelps. He can say I'm going to Hell all he wants to, it doesn't mean it's true. Ultimately the only one who can make that decision is GOD. GOD has been really good to me so far. I mean, I ain't dead yet! I haven't met up with any psychos, but then again, I haven't met any of these fanatical vegans face to face yet. LOL! They're just like the members of the WBC! They're psychotic, they're brainwashed, they push their beliefs on others, they condemn you if you don't agree with them. Pretty much everything the Phelps do, only their religion is veganism, and they worship prey animals instead of GOD. I think I found out why most vegans are cat-people. Katrina and I were talking the other day, and she said, kindof jokingly, that that is how these fanatical vegans get their blood-lust. Cats torture their prey before killing it, people naturally love to see drama. Vegans like to speak out against drama against animals. Unless another animal is doing the torturing (seems fanatical vegans have forgotten that people are animals too). So vegan fanatics like to hide their lust for seeing something killed by getting a cat and letting it kill and torture small animals for their delight. You can never get me to believe that fanatical vegans are in any way "compassionate"! No way! No matter how many times they say it, it doesn't mean it's true! Like I said, I have more compassion than they do in one eyelash!
They claim they have rights to free speech, but I don't think that should include things like telling the families of fallen soldiers that their family member is in Hell now. That's like biting the hand that feeds you. But then again, that's what has made them famous. Sometimes I think for the Phelps family, they are not doing this to "warn" anyone of anything, they are not doing this to become "messengers of GOD". I think they're doing it for only one reason: For fame and acknowledgement. But there is a difference between becoming famous and becoming infamous. I'm myself kindof on the line between the two so I know what it's like to be there. But I am not running a "church" of any kind. I'm safely in my home. I have websites, but none of them have my phone number up. I've seen several videos on YouTube where people have prank-called the Westboro Baptist Church. Now, when you call them, all you get is an answering service. I even saw a video where someone called the Phelps' lawfirm, requesting to speak to one of the Phelps. He told them he was having problems with some demons. Well, they kept hanging up on him, so he even got his friend to contact them and the manager of the lawfirm told him never to contact them again or they were going to turn them in to the police. LOL!

Dogs Aren't Perfect
I've been reading some of the posts on the Rants and Raves Forum on Craigslist, and there are a couple of different people who came in and said there was some old fart who goes jogging in an off-leash dog park, and has even kicked at some of the other peoples' dogs. Now why someone, who does not own a dog and apparently does not like them, would want to even go jogging in an off-leash dog park is absolutely beyond my realm of knowledge. Because if I didn't own a dog and I didn't like them, the last place I'd ever even want to go would be an off-leash dog park! For one reason, a dog off leash is definitely going to approach me, and I know it would, that's just how dogs are. They are sociable animals. Another thing, your chances of stepping in dog crap is also very great. Not to mention the possible fleas that would get on you and other parasites that some peoples' dogs may be carrying. If I didn't have a dog, or even didn't like them, I sure as Hell would not walk through an off-leash dog park. I cannot even imagine why this man would go jogging through that park unless it is just to be an asshole and piss off dog owners. Some day, he may anger the wrong person by kicking at their dog and that dog's owner might punch the man in the face, or blast his brains out. One of the reasons I don't even take my dogs to an off-leash park is because most people around here own nothing but big dogs, and I'm afraid my dogs might get carried away and wind up being attacked by one of them. Vegas likes to attack and chase after bigger dogs. Some bigger dogs may not take it from Vegas and crush him.
Some people were complaining because dogs come up to them and poke their noses in that person's butt or crotch. I admit I hate that too! If someone's dog does that to me, I would not hesitate to back-kick them. Usually gently, but firmly. The kind of dogs people own around here, like hunting dogs, are very notorious for that! That is why I do not like being approached by big dogs. And when they do approach me, I carefully keep my eyes on them. I try very hard not to let them sneak up behind me because that's usually when they like to poke their noses in a person's behind. That's one reason I don't like strange dogs coming up to me. I remember I once saw a clip from a show about funny home videos, in fact I've seen this twice, with different dogs. Someone turned a dog loose in a park where people were sunbathing, and the dog goes up to them and pokes it's nose in their butts. I can't even believe there are people out there filming things like that and thinking it's funny. It's NOT funny! To me, it looks like rape. Rape is not funny in any way, shape or form. I know it's natural for a dog to sniff another dog's butt. It's when the dog crosses the species barrier and does it to anything besides another dog, that's when it looks like rape. When I see clips like that, I can sometimes understand why there are people in this world who don't like dogs. One of the biggest, most legitimate complaints I hear about dogs is that people hate it when dogs poke their noses where it doesn't belong. I say I hate that too, and I am normally a dog lover. I guess dogs just aren't perfect. If it wasn't for their butt-sniffing behavior, they could be the world's most perfect animals!
Dogs are just that step away from being perfect. They love us, they look up to us, that makes them great companions. Dogs have done so much more than that too. They actually helped us build civilizations. Cats didn't have much of a hand in building civilizations, except during the black plague, that was the one and only time they played any part in building human history, and that was just in Europe. But in my research for this dog book (which I am trying to make better), I found that it was actually the domestication of dogs that made humans what we are today. If it weren't for dogs, we would not be here at all. Dogs helped early humans with hunting, which made us more intelligent and social. Dogs herded prey animals like deer and ox so early humans could either eat the animals or use their strengths and abilities to help build farms and towns. Dogs helped us in that aspect in domesticating cattle, horses, even sheep and goats. We rewarded them by sharing our leftovers from the hunt. Dogs transported humans and their goods from one place to another on migrations, long before horses came into playing that role. Thus humans were able to adapt to the climate and could live basically anywhere they wanted to. Simply put, humans would not be humans if it weren't for dogs. But understandably for some, it's just hard to look past their crotch-sniffing behavior.
