 I hate people that will drop a dog or puppy at the dump. Back years ago every trip we made to the dump down in Cheatham County we would bring back one or two and make a trip the humane society on Monday and make a donation so they would find them a home. My oldest son brought a little female puppy home when he was 7 that he found hanging around a dumpster near a Mapco Market and asked if he and his little brother could keep it. I could tell he was sure I would say no and he almost had tears in his eyes so I said yea but your responsible for her care. Wife about had a fit but I said boys need to have a dog and they are old enough now. I had her spayed and got her all of her shots with local vet. She had a touch of the mange and vet gave us some shampoo that cleared it up pretty quick.

Maybe they were plan clothe police officers on a stake out too. If they were actually state workers I think they would have been missed by superiors or like a few mentioned, they do have phones and radio's to call for assistance if were really broke down.............jmho

Yea  well, I thought that I had smelled enough napalm in Nam to end my nose working cause it got to where I could not smell it either and when I got back stateside my nose still didn't work to great and over the years it has gotten worse and soon I didn't think I would ever smell anything ever again. Then it happened................. :dropjaw:  Kasey had what was left of a bowl of White Beans I had for supper one night. Just so happened it was a very cold night so she slept inside under my bed. About 3AM I realized that there are certain things my nose can still smell. Kasey is not allowed to have white beans ever again. I had to give her the bedroom and go to the recliner in the living room. I think the methane in the room at that point could have blown the house up with a spark............... :rofl:

Two old guys, one 80 and one 87, were sitting on a park bench one morning.                                The 87-year-old had just finished his morning jog and wasn't even short of breath.                                The 80-year-old was amazed at the guy's stamina and asked him what he did to                  have so much energy.                                The 87-year-old said, "Well, I eat rye bread every day. It keeps your energy                  level high and you'll have great stamina with the ladies."                                So, on the way home the 80-year-old stopped at the bakery.                                As he was looking around, the saleslady asked if he needed any help.                                He said, "Do you have any rye bread?"                                She said, "Yes, there's a whole shelf of it. Would you like some?"                                He said, "I want 5 loaves."                                She said, "My goodness, 5 loaves! By the time you get to the 3rd loaf, it'll                  be hard."                                He replied, "I can't believe everybody knows about this sh-t but me!"

That is the only thing my son -in- law hates about his job. They do a ton of work on Government Contracts on Government Air Bases and Army bases and every time they go to a new base all of his crew and he has to go through a back ground check prior to being permitted onto the base. It has gotten so bad that if they go 2 months with out doing work on a Government facility even though he is using the exact same crew he did 2 +months earlier they half to go through the B.G. checks all over again. He said if the contracts didn't pay so well he would consider asking his boss to quit bidding on them............... :shrug:

I had every opportunity there was to go to college. Parents and Grand parents both offered to pay to put me through school but I was not one that really liked school to begin with but made the most out of it with a B average grade level. Back then there were many kids going to college to avoid the draft and Vietnam. My Mother begged me to go to college to avoid the draft but my Father told me to make my own decisions. I went into the Navy, served 5 years for my country and came home. Entered a trade school for Auto Mechanics, Graduated, opened my own business which I passed down to my son when I retired. He down sized because finding good help was almost impossible but is still in business on a smaller scale. With that said!!!   I have seen news networks do interviews with college students a lot this election year and some of them have been in school 2 or more years and the reporter will ask them what is their major and they come off the wall with something I have no clue what it would be as an occupation. Then the reporter moves to politics and there are people with 2 or more years of college that cannot even tell you who the President is or who is even running for the White House in 2016 and some don't even know it's an election year. To me that is scary!!!!!! Do these people live in a bubble of stupidity when not in a classroom?...................jmho

I was a very happy man.  My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year.  So we decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me. It was her beautiful younger sister, Sofia. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight miniskirts, and generally was bra-less. She would regularly bend down when she was near me. I always got more than a nice view. It had to be deliberate.  She never did it around anyone else.  One day she called me and asked me to come over. "To check my sister's wedding invitations" she said. She was alone when I arrived.  She whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me. She couldn't overcome them anymore. She told me that she wanted me just once before I got married.  She said "Before you commit your life to my sister".  Well, I was in total shock, and I couldn't say a word. She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom" she said. "If you want one last wild fling, just come up and have me". I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs.  I stood there for a moment...then turned and made a bee-line straight to the front door.  I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car.   Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all clapping!   With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me.  He said, "Sergio, we are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter.  Welcome to the family my son."  And the moral of this story is:   Always keep your condoms in your car.

I totally do understand and respect your decision. Was just an idea for a good cause.    Thanks for the reply.

Once upon a time there was a king who wanted to go fishing. > > He called the royal weather forecaster and inquired as to the weather forecast for the next few hours. The weatherman assured him that there was no chance of rain in the coming days. > > So the king went fishing with his wife, the queen.  On the way he met a farmer on his donkey. Upon seeing the king the farmer said, "Your Majesty, you should return to the palace at once because in just a short time I expect a huge amount of rain to fall in this area". > > The king was polite and considerate, he replied: "I hold the palace meteorologist in high regard. He is an extensively educated and experienced professional.  And besides, I pay him very high wages. He gave me a very different forecast. I trust him and I will continue on my way."  So he continued on his way. > > However, a short time later a torrential rain fell from the sky.  The King and Queen were totally soaked and their entourage chuckled upon seeing them in such a shameful condition. > > Furious, the king returned to the palace and gave the order to fire the professional. Then he summoned the farmer and offered him the prestigious and high paying role of royal forecaster. > > The farmer said, "Your Majesty, I do not know anything about forecasting.  I obtain my information from my donkey. If I see my donkey's ears drooping, it means with certainty that it will rain." > > So the king hired the donkey. > > And thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in the government and occupy its highest and most influential positions. > > And the practice is unbroken to this date..

Well, I guess that must be why my nose don't work any more. I can't smell anything these days but back when I was a mechanic for 33+ years I used to replace a ton of Differential gaskets and seals and that stuff must have burned out my nasal passages and stopped them from working............ :shrug:

Ok, since no one else is going to ask I have got to.  David, just how many Opossum butt holes have you actually sniffed that you can compare it to burned up Differential oil?............... :shrug:  I just had to ask............. :clap: 

I just got done posting all about this in a Fishing Site I hang out in a lot that also has it's home base in East Tennessee. Posted all the links I could so hoping some of those folks will migrate over here also since most of them are gun owners. I know for a fact there are a couple from there already here cause they have PM'd me here.

I try to but like to have never found it today and had to get MrsMonkey to send me the link.............. :shrug:

Is there any way we can get this thread pinned so it is easier to locate for members and it will possibly get noticed by more members and new comers that are just joining the site?..................... :dunno:  Just asking....... :shrug: 

I think you and Monkey must have been GOD sent for all that you are doing for our furry friends. I will try and see about getting the link onto a couple other sites I frequent and see what kind of help I can get for you. I think folks that fish love dogs too!!! I'm gonna find out............ :up:

I think GM did the right thing in hiring the hero back but I also think the person that fired him in the first place should get some unpaid leave for over stepping his authority prior to clearing it with people hire up the ladder than him...........jmho

As I have aged I have developed a totally new Philosophy on many things. The main one is "If it ain't broke don't fix it!!!  You truck don't look broke so you know my thoughts............. :shrug: :shrug: 

      Quote  " I did have allergy testing done about 5 years ago at the doctor's request, and sure enough I have allergies.  :dropjaw:  I didn't think it was possible to live in Tennessee and not have allergies of some type. Tennessee is know as the allergy capital of the South!!!......... :shrug:

That is why I do have a home security system. Safes are good but safes with security system to protect the safe is better. I also have several trail cameras hid around my home that I turn on if I am going to be gone for long periods of time but my best secret weapon of all in I have some great nosy neighbors that are home almost 95% of the time and they will call 911 if anyone or anything looks out of place. They have done it a couple times on a few of my friends that came by and stayed longer then the neighbors thought they needed to be here waiting to see if I was coming home soon................................. :doh:

I use to suffer with ear infections almost continuously during my years of running across the lake at 70 MPH while fishing tournaments. I finally spoke with my doctor and she said your a shooter right? I said yea. She said next time I went out in cold weather fishing wear my shooter ear muffs and see if I have a problem when I got done fishing. It worked very well for me and I quit having ear issues. Now I have foam ear plugs and if I am going to be outside in wind on cold winter days I wear the foam ear plugs and they work great.   Sorry to hear about your issues and the wife also. Hope they get it cleared up soon and once you do get it done you may want to try the foam ear plugs when out in winter time and wind.............. :up:

you should be getting my donation in next day or two from mail man. Sent Yesterday....................... :up:

I guess you could call Kasey a rescue dog sorta. When she was a very small puppy with smoke blue eyes and Puppy breath I rescued her from a very large yellow tom cat that probably weighed 20+ pounds that the Animal Control and I had been trying to catch in a cage for about 5 months but was to smart to go in one. One day I heard what sounded like a puppy yapping out under my truck so I went to investigate once I knew my old hairless mutt was in the house. I laid down and looked and I could see that big cat had what I thought was a rat and I had made up my mind to take the advantage and kill the big cat. I took a single action six 22 cal pistol and put super shorts in it to not make much noise cause it's aganst the law to fire a gun inside the city and with one shot hit the big cat almost between the eyes killing it instantly. Then I could see that what it was trying to kill was still alive and a puppy yelped again. Shortly a scraggy bloody ball of fur came waddling out from under my truck. I realized it was very young puppy that the cat had evidently stole out of a litter of puppies. I picked her up and brought her inside to the kitchen sink and began cleaning her up with warm water. She was bleeding from cuts on her ears and her nose and one front paw. Once I got her cleaned up and dried off with blow dryer I made the ultimate mistake that I have always been warned about. I looked into her smoke blue eyes and allowed myself to bring her close enough that I was able to get her puppy breath in my nose really strong. That is a capital sin in the puppy world cause that means the puppy has found it's new home. I had to buy dog milk from the vet here locally and he gave me a syringe to feed her the milk with. Dog milk $11.95 for a four ounce can. She went through 8 cans while we were working on the weening process and on to food. That was now 16 years ago last November so I guess that makes her a rescue mutt don't it? I called my friend at animal control and told him I had that big yellow cat for him and when he stopped in the next day he was kind of surprised it was dead. He looked at me and gave me one of those shady smiles and said well, that's one way of doing it and loaded it up for disposal. I did allow her to have 1 litter of puppies when she was about 3 years old because old folks always said that once a female dog has been a mother then you have them spayed and they will make a much better pet. I don't know how true that is but once she weened her Pups Kasey was spayed and I placed all of them in great homes cause I had friends all speak up when they were first born for all 4 pups she had. Each one had them neutered because she had 4 boy pups which I thought was odd but they all did it because that was the only condition I put on any one getting one.......................... :up: :up:
