    Anybody need a joke but me -

    A 90 year old man with a hearing problem has an appointment with his new Doctor. He asks his wife to go with him to help communicate with the Doc. Doctor: It's nice to meet you Sir and I'm very glad to have you as a new patient. To get started, I'd like to get urine, semen & stool samples...

    How do I get the polecat small out of my German Shorthair?

    Tomato juice is NOT a myth, but it apparently doesn't work in all cases. For me, it has worked on 4 dogs of various breeds. I heard of the H2O2/baking soda/dish soap recipe just recently but haven't needed to try it (yet).

    ONCE AGAIN,GLOBAL WARMING REARS ITS UGLY HEAD

    Some very interesting reading, leading to interesting follow-up reading. There seems to be much room for doubt as to the weather-related claims, at least. I don't have the time or scientific background to deal with all of it & actually have no idea just how much scientific support either side of...

    ONCE AGAIN,GLOBAL WARMING REARS ITS UGLY HEAD

    In my own case, I have never said that man causes global warming. If I am an advocate of anything, it is only of combining science and common sense. There still seems to be a scientific consensus that the world is warming, despite falsified or misleading data from "grant-whores" or other...

    ONCE AGAIN,GLOBAL WARMING REARS ITS UGLY HEAD

    I've watched documentaries in which scientific types have taken very deep core sample of packed snow & ice. They have noted an apparent correlation between concentrations of CO2 & temperature fluctuations. To be sure, there are some natural causes for higher CO2 levels & IIRC volcanic eruptions...

    ONCE AGAIN,GLOBAL WARMING REARS ITS UGLY HEAD

    There is no "proof" that will convince everybody. He never says that global warming is "not proven to be "man made". Cutting back on consumption of fossil fuels isn't exactly "killing our economy". Our government has been telling us for years that we need to decrease our dependance on foreign...

    Well, It Finally Happened

    I was at a show in the metro Detroit area in '99 when the guy handling the pistol wasn't pointing at the floor or ceiling. He shot another patron in the neck. Details were pretty sketchy & (surprise!) the TV news didn't make a huge political issue of it. As I recall though, the guy was pretty...

    Even a professional skeptic ,funded by the Koch bros., admits the science is valid. http://news.yahoo.com/skeptic-finds-now-agrees-global-warming-real-142616605.html

    Paypal "gift" option

    I've used it once & just like -rags-, there was about a 3.2% fee for the sender (me). As stated above, there is no buyer protection so use at your own risk for purchases. I'm not sure how others have avoided the fees - maybe the amount transferred???

    At least 9 dead in Detroit area since Friday, all traffic related.

    When I used to do a fair amount of out-of-state driving, one thing always reminded me that I was back home: Michigan drivers were definitely the rudest, Ohio was probably second. Ever since they took down the 'Keep Right Except To Pass' & 'Slower Traffic Keep Right' signs, the left lane is just...

    An old saying around here: There are only two seasons in Michigan - winter & road construction. ;)

    Well heck, they can't all be gun-related - even in Detroit! (Just KIDDING!!!) Wow. I used to drive the Lodge 30 years ago*; I though it was all divided highway... :confused: *former resident of Livonia, Farmington, Redford, Redford Twp, Warren & Shelby Twp. :D
