"more worried that two gay people might get married"

Bingo!

It's a cultural war with them, which, at its root involves their religion and the propaganda they consume with gusto. LBJ nailed much of it: "Convince the lowest white man he's better than the best ..."

There's the big segment of the population with serious personality disorders created by their conditioning and they need scapegoats. Faux, Limbaugh, & tRump have given them just that.

We're always tempted to overly simplify critters...

Especially those we have little understanding of - we shouldn't.

We know not that we know not.

You MUST watch this documentary

"My Octopus Teacher" on Netflix. I got hooked. It was such a fascinating & extremely emotionally documentary, at least for me.

Here's the official Trailer....

That's the truth.

I hate them too.

+ We're overfishing the oceans.





Then there's the beef, pork, chicken farming that's hurting the environment. Either we go vegetarian or have less children. The planet can't suffer our abuse much longer or we'll be history.

Rational Wiki doesn't think much of Irwin..

Klee Irwin is a pseudoscience proponent.[1] He became widely known for his infomercials for "Dual Action Cleanse", a "natural" remedy,[2], which was subject to numerous lawsuits.[3] Some have reported being scammed by his company.[4]

Sorry but neither does the resident physicist here who said no physical Journal would publish this speculative theory, of course because this cannot be tested. Irwin is only self-published (Quantum Gravity Institute is his). It's speculative philosophy, not science.

A quote - "moral relativism"

In its original literal sense, "moral relativism" is simply moral complexity. That is, anyone who agrees that stealing a loaf of bread to feed one's children is not the moral equivalent of, say, shoplifting a dress for the fun of it, is a relativist of sorts. But in recent years, conservatives bent on reinstating an essentially religious vocabulary of absolute good and evil as the only legitimate framework for discussing social values have redefined "relative" as "arbitrary".

- Ellen Jane Willis (1941-2006)

Glad to see your update.

But I would seek other opinions & estimates.

Btw, there's a franchise network all over the country using the prefix VCA - this VCA corporation bought private, individual animal clinic everywhere. They are rather expensive.

We just spent almost $9K* on our big 5yr old Lab over the last yr. We lost her on Monday. 😭

I wish your grand-puppy the best. Please, keep us posted!




*Edited to correct a large charge I had forgotten to include.

Totally agree. That's why...

I added "do not expect" in bold.

Most Americans form opinions only on what they hear by word-of-mouth, social media, & broadcast media, in that order. 😣 That's it, imo. No wonder our democracy is teetering.

I've heard excuses that "they don't have the time." Then why can they spent so much time on social media?

Amen!

Hubby* just said our Dem party must grow more vaginas - more Katie Porters, more Kamala Harrises, more Amy Klobuchars, more Rebekah Jones, more Justice Ginsburgs, etc.

We cannot be afraid to do the right thing. Our country is already divided & we must stop trying to accommodate these criminals.

* So proud of him.

Maggie's Song

Chris Stapleton Maggie's Song

When I thought I couldn't cry any more, I just came across this sweet song!


We've learned just last night that our baby, our dear 5yr old yellow Lab, only has a few months left to live. An internist/critical care vet diagnosed her with a serious right ventricle valve problem.

She's such a sensitive & tremendously sweet girl who'll run to my side if I sigh or clear my throat a certain way - she'll know that something might be wrong. Now I must keep from sobbing so as not to stress her when she comes home. She's in the hospital for a few days.

"Run Maggie run..."


UPDATE:
Our precious Missy is gone. She was the BEST BABY & we wouldn't have traded the world for these past 5 yrs with her. She put that moon up there for us!

Folks, dogs are Love & if ppl have souls, so do they!

My thanks & appreciation for all your sentiments and posts.
