Least Favourite Thing Your Pet Does

by Stephanus in

jw
friends

we've learned to frisk our cats before they come in, esp.

at night.

they have a thing for bringing home their live catches to play with.. also, when they get all smoochy.

Snoozy

Well I don't have any pets but my Daughter does. She has two huge Leonburgers. When I am there I hate the way they sniff everyone in their private parts..can't break that habit. They leave big wet spots on their pants..

Now it's become like a slap on the back and a How are ya? thing. They do it whenever they are behind you!

I told her she really needs to get ahold of the "Dog Whisperer!" SERIOUSLY!

When I am house or dog sitting there if they aren't behaving..I make them stay outside most of the day. The only problem is when I go somewhere and come back in my car.They have to sniff and butt my provate parts pushing me towards the house.

They too like to put their heads on the bed early in the morning and when you open your eyes there is a big black nose in your face and they get sooo excited..their faces are saying...FEED ME !

Snoozy..

LEONBURGERS...are big dogs!

So, I just told my dad to "Shut the **** up"

then i hung up on him.

it was so frustrating to his self righteous attitude under the banner of love.

yes, i went over the top, but i couldn't take it anymore.

Snoozy

I too had to endure the mental torture of hearing how I was going to die if I didn't join the cult again!

Now that my JW hubby has deceased I no longer have any contact with the JW's. I can't tell you how nice it is to get up in the morning and not face the constant brainwashing from them.

As much as I miss hubby I don't miss the sermons...

His JW mom and family have no contact with me at all now. I wonder what happened to all that "Love" they had for me?

I guess hubby will be ressurected to his "New Wife" they promised him just as they kept telling him he would get in the 'New System" and God will make him forget all about me.

I did tell his Mom to "Shut Up" once..I had just had it. So I know what you are feeling..she just stood there with her mouth open..she couldn't believe her DIL had actually spoke back to her..it was priceless! I had a grin on my face all the next day!

Snoozy..who had enough!!!!!

Please help our children

a child died in the past week of a tooth that got infected.

on his school bus coming home from school.

another child died from an infection that started from a tooth.......the mother needed $80 to get the tooth pulled.

Well from my recent experiences I am wondering why nothing is being done to stop Drs. from overcharging the insurance companies here.

When I had insurance my Dr visit would charge the insurance co. at least $500. to $2,500. depending on what they did. Well I just went and had no insurance this time..my bill was $80.

I had blood work and it was $800. When I had it done with insurance it was $2,500. Why? Same tests...I politely questioned them about it and they said cash payers get a discount. It seems like I paid the same either way. Subtracting my deductables when I had insurance.Almost comes out the same.

I called a few years ago to report to my insurance that they had been double billed for one of my procedures .They couldn't be bothered. (It wasn't their money (the customer service rep.) No wonder insurance is so high. All the ripoffs...

I am just so thankful I have stayed healthy the last two years..now in a few months my medicare and the supplement I am getting will take care of most of it.

When I retired years ago they told me I would get health insurance..then when I actually did retire they sent me a letter explaining they had made a mistake. When our banks merged a few years before that they only allowed the employees from the bank we were bought out by to keep their retirement insurance. Not us. They did offer me Cobra though at $500. a month!!!!

I took that but it ran out a few years ago..leaving me as one of the "unfortunate ones"..Screwed again...Thank goodness it worked out OK..

But I will have to have some bridgework redone...I know that is going to cost me!!!!!!!!Big time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I will have them all pulled....

Snoozy...

Edited to add..here in Missouri we seem to have a lot of children's dental work done by charity groups and Dentists that volunteer their services. I am always reading about a clinic that has opened for childrens services (dental). They even have vans that visit the schools..

Are kids getting stupider?

by roflcopter in

jw
friends

now i am just a young guy myself, but do you feel that kids these days are getting stupider?

i personally feel that kids are getting stupider.. take for instance my exprience today.

i went to pickup stix and ordered the kung pao chicken.

Snoozy

Well my kids are grown and can count..

But I now have 6 grandkids and they can't subtract in their head either! Everything is done today on a computer. All they have to know is how to work a computer. I tried to see if they could give change one time and the two I questioned both got it wrong. Simple making change and they couldn't do it.Don't even mention spelling..

What's scary about it is the one is a genius according to state tests!

But another thing they are lacking are common sense.

They are experts at munipulating their parents though!

Do you have any "Phobias"

friends

maybe you're afraid of rats, or afraid to walk under a ladder or go in your basement for some reason .

Restrangled...the first car I picked out for myself was my old ford Taurus..one thing that made me want it was it had manual windows. I always thought they would be safer if I went through the bridge and into the water..I could roll them down on MY way down..

I think I am so afraid because I fell off our sailboat one time and it was a long way down and very dark..I couldn't tell which way was up . So when my feet finally hit bottom I pushed with all my might..hoping I would go straight up. When I finally hit the top I was so glad..then I saw hubby laughing and got so mad I started screaming at him..didn't he know how close to death I was? It took me a long time to laugh about it. After my trip to the emergency room for a shoulder pulled out of socket..I finally could laugh about it when the pain finally went away.

But the fear stayed with me. Now I have automatic windows and I know they will be useless ..I am seriously considering getting a big hammer to break the windows on the way down...

I really hate the bridges over rivers because once you go down you may not be able to get back up to the top in time..too many currents in a river. Can't hold my breath that long!

I can control what I do but you can't trust those big rigs or other trucks. They were always side-swiping someone in my old neighborhood by the river! When they hit you you are GONE...

Snoozy...Now about those long-legged spiders!!!!!!!!!! And those bees that follow you no matter where you run...

OOPS...forgot to mention one of my many phobias...Bridges..I have this fear of wrecking and going in the water...

Did I mention I was stuck in the middle of a long bridge a few weeks ago?They had a wreck at the end of it and traffic just stopped on the bridge..I was terrified..caught in the middle for an hour..called my daughter and she talked to me for a long time..that helped a lot. I could just see the bridge being overloaded ( it was really shaking from all the semis going in the opposite direction.) and we all go in the drink!...What a time to run out of Zanex... But I survived.. (But still hate them)When I used to pick up my grandkids I had to go over a bridge..to cover my fear we would play a game..we would hold our breath until we got to the other side..They loved it and it took my mind off my fear...

I think the most original award goes to MAMA 1119...for her mouse in water pipe phobia!

That's a new one on me...and I could easily picture it as my JW-MIL had a well on her farm and it always had gritty stuff in it.I asked her if it had ever been tested and she said No. Why should I ? ...It's pure water from the well....

Snoozy..who has run over many frogs and snakes in her grass cutting career ...those doggone frogs would hop all over when my riding lawn mower would get cranked up!..

ps..that reminds me of a ride hubby and I took down by the river one night..The river had went over it's banks and they closed the floodgates.Well we took a ride to check it out. It was dark and our headlights were bright on the road. All of a sudden all these frogs came out of nowhere!..Then we heard all these popping noises..we couldn't help but pulverize them Frogs hopping everywhere and anyways..trying to escape..hundreds if not thousands of frogs all over the road.. Pop..Pop...Pop...I can still hear it now..

yep..a church here in mo was in the news today.

they are headed for the streets to witness to the passerbys.. they said they are following christ's footsteps.

people even stopped in their cars and rolled the windows down..and gave them an opportunity to "preach" to them.. then the "preacher" put a ash cross on the person's forehead.. hummm....reminds me of when the witnesses first started going out in service..i wonder when the church will start branching out from the streets and actually go door to door?.
