"Daniel Mahoney" Some stuff got out of my post. Not important anyway. It boiled down to wit that people don't ask me to explain myself very much; LOL i wonder why. BTW *who* is this Sarah celeb who people can't stand to see with animals...and why? Does she have anything to do with that bald dude who eats bugs and disgusting fauna late at night. she seems to be completely off hopitus' radar screen. I sense no loss. She's a pop singer. Her music isn't too bad, but the commercial shows a lot of photos of sad-looking animals, scared animals, and animals who have been treated for injuries. Definitely too much for me to be able to watch. I agree, I can't watch it eitherm and Sarah has a beautiful voice, but her music is too sad for me to listen to. Thanx for the link Hug Kyla http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_McLaughlin |

Yeah, it's a heartbreaking ad, for sure .
Hug Kyla "Stormmee" I guess I feel fortunate that I don't know about this Sara commercial, and honestly Pam, why waste a bullet? Lee tanadashoes bastXXXette Has anyone else had an interaction like this, where someone judged you because you can stand to see human suffering in fiction, but not animal suffering? What did you say to the other person? My idiot sister (actually half sister, which comforts me for some strange reason) once told me that those who love animals don't love their children. She said that was because they spent all their attention on the animals and didn't have enough for children. I disagreed with her, even pointing out that they had a cat and a dog at the time. She let me know that she didn't like the animals and had them there only because the kids needed to learn to take care of something and besides the cat was there to catch mice (which idiot sister is terrified of). There are many reasons she is known as my idiot sister. I love watching crime TV, but can't handle NCIS or CSI where they show autopsy and gratuitous gore scenes. I also have a problem with the Sarah McLaughlin video with animals endangered. Some people need lead therapy. Pam S. |

I am a bit odd on this point, when I was a young child, third or fourth
grad, I saw someone get killed, and another person forever damaged, even now in writing this I can hear the bones crunch and the gurgling breath... my brother saw the same thing he was five and sees perfectly and was closer... it made me realize time is short, it made me a bit hard on the exterior, but inside if anyone is nice or kind it melts me... and frankly that is usually an animal, Lee wrote in message ... Adrian wrote: I don't mind violence against people when it's fiction but if it's based on a true story then I can't watch. Whether it's real or make believe I cannot stand *any* cruelty to animals. That's pretty much how I feel. There are some exceptions. I can't watch fictional depictions of an execution. If someone's about to be executed, I have to either look away, or if I can, change the channel. It just feels totally different to me from depictions of murder. Maybe it's the cold, ritualistic aspect of execution that creeps me out. shudder Also, I can't watch torture scenes. See? I'm almost normal. But for some reason, cruelty to animals *stays in my head*, for years and years afterward. I've been known to get upset about a movie I saw 15 years earlier. -- Joyce To email me, remove the triple-X from my user name. ^..^ |

The woman speaks the truth... I hate to shop, these two are on my very short
list of stores I will actually enter, when I go it is torture, because DH likes to shop, I honestly always insist on a cigarette before we go in and have been known to carry a sandwich or apple in with me because between the two of them its like a day at Disney, without that hideous ride, Lee Granby wrote in message ... I could spend hours in big lots and, if whoever takes me there wants to, we usually do. I do a lot of craft things and that place is super for that sort of thing.

I am normal, too,just not like you. Here's an example of what I mean...just came back from Big Lots near downtown MileHigh, one of my fave browsing bargain spots near where one of my relatives lives. While sitting in my truck carefully extracting a card from my wallet inside a cloth shopping bag, I noticed an older man eyeing the new arrival vehicles near me...saw him run over and wave something in face of a woman to my right getting out of her SUV who sidestepped him and rushed into the store. I thought, 'Ooookaaay, here we go, then." Slamming open my driver door and almost knocking the dude over, I hopped out (yes, hopitus hops!) with a big golf umbrella in my right (concealed by the door) hand only to be confronted by his startled but determined pitch for $. I waved the 'brella and said something' unrepeatable here and stomped into store. I stood just inside the glass door where he could see me to see if he was going to make for my truck. He didn't. Instead he had some little blond cowering inside her car's open window in less than a minute, LOL.Britney is not the only one who knows how to handle an umbrella. The law does not prohibit carrying unregistered concealed umbrellas in your vehicle. I hardly ever post anything here that I "hate' except the weather here, but bums hitting on me for $ is a big one, and that 'hood is notorious for them. I |

thing is I like them all, I haven't met much music I don't like and BTW if
you ever get a chance to see him go, well worth the money... it was about six hours of good stuff, Lee hopitus wrote in message ...

They don't show that commercial on the stations that show CSI, all I see is lonely beautiful (oxymoron) girls urging you to call some phone scam and meet your one and only by doing that - ROFL - or a wimpylooking male pushing 'male enhancement" pills they'll send you for free. Another ROFL. I still sense no loss, to each his/her own taste in music. And if you don't care for Eminem and Shakira.....okay by me. |
