There are costs incurred for store use of cash or checks, too, of
course. They are not as easily calculated as a per sale/percentage
fee, but they do exist.

I had a small business and cash is good stuff. Made me feel all warm inside.
I paid cash to have my car towed - gave the guys 5 twenties and an extra 20
for the driver. I told them to forego the receipt too. They like that kind
of stuff. The office girl jumps up and runs across the street to get lunch
for the office. That made everybody involved in the transaction feel all
warm inside.

He's like those old derelict street people that nobody can help. My wife and
daughter will give that cat some food but he has the stomach for only a
small amount and then the chickens move in. Mostly, the cat will lay in the
parking lot during the afternoon and evenings and watch life go by.

I never had one of those big ole cats. They do seem pretty relaxed.

I have a tiny little siamese cat. She's pretty enough to make a
textbook picture, but a very small animal. She is one hell of a
varmint killing machine. Full size rabbits, squirrels, rats etc.

She also brings me "my share", but it's usually the ass end. She
always starts eating her kills from the head end. Teeth, fur,
eyeballs, and all. Being small, she gets full before she can finish
a critter her own size, so she delivers the ass end to me.

I'm way out in the boondocks and I really appreciate her control of
mice. I haven't used mouse poison for years, and my mouse traps only
catch a few per year that manage to get by her.

Oh yeah ... for Popeye ... she don't need no schtinkin heated water
bowl or heated bed, and no fancy vittles from the jewish deli. She
actually lives with me. Comes in and out whenever she damn well
pleases by scratching on the door, same as dogs do.

Yep, often if yoose pay with pure gold, there are hidden charges.

There's the gold transaction fee
Then the gold assessment fee.
The gold usage fee.

No matter what money you use ... there's a fee somewhere. Our
society is like a bunch of rich Ferengies.

Since the Ferengi are fictional alien beings, I think you'll find that
their society is modeled after ours.

My son heard a cat outside our door late one night. He opened the door and a cat walked in like he owned the joint. He had a slash on is belly that left his guts exposed but you'd never know it since he seemed perfectly fine with the condition. We got his belly sewed up and he's been a big pest ever since. In this case, the cat chose us - we had no say in the matter.

Felines never show their weaknesses or vulnerabilities. They hide

But then you should go back to Japan and give Hawaii back to the
Hawaiians. Once back in Japan, even you will be taught a lesson in
racism.

So I'm a big fan of this Shtisel program - coincidentally it seems half
the time people are eating - food is an important character in the show.
On the show this one lady called some guy a "frenk," a word I'm completely
unfamiliar with. I looked it up - turns out it's a derogatory term for
Sephardic Jews, related to "frank" meaning "European" as viewed by people
in the Middle East, originally applied to Crusaders. According to this
post the case is made that the name "Ferengi" derived from "frenk" or
its cognates (he also notes that "frengi" in Turkish means "syphilis"):

The locals never treated the Hawaiians like the Aussies treated and still treat the Aborigines i.e., with disrespect and disdain. My granddaughters all have Hawaiian blood as well as Filipino, Scottish, Irish, Chinese and I don't know what the hell else. This is to be celebrated. Our bloodline is enriched by this.

Here's the news we're getting back in the states about the Dutch. Yoose got some nerve getting all preachy. Look at yer ugly puss in the mirror, buddy!

Have you ever considered one of those pet doors?? I've never had one but it

It's the contraction of you all but I don't know what 'ya'll' is a contraction of.

It's hard to help them. I have no idea how they can be helped, because
all attempts so far have failed.

By the way, do you know how the Japanese look upon people who are not
pure Japanese? Move there and you'll find out

It's good. It's the opposite of incest. The word bloodline sounds a
bit biblical and retarded, but anyway.

I'm all for a ban on burkas. If you can't even give up the most
retarded and mediaeval elements of your culture, then don't move to a
modern country. Stay where you are, where it's accepted.

And who knows what's under that burka. A religious fanatic with a
machine gun maybe.

Uhm, make that "inbreeding".

I don't bother with them. I don't even bother with the Air Miles card
that I used for years.

We had a ginger tabby male. He was a good sized cat. He used to sleep on
under the hood of our vehicles. One time I started my pickup and he let
out a yowl went running off with no tail. It was the middle of winter
and there was no worry about infection. but the end of his stubby tale
turned black. We had a drunken retired half blind vet across the street
who told me that he had seen a lynx. I tried to tell him it was our tom
cat, but he insisted it was a lynx.

Yoose guys could treat the Aborigines with some respect. That would help.

I know the situation with Japan. That's the way it is with any homogeneous society. Big deal, there's a lot of resentment among all the Asians with other Asians. Who can blame them? Here's a Chinese guy beating up a bunch of bad Japanese guys. Yoose should see how American are treated in Japanese films. They're portrayed as big stupid sweaty apes.

The Hawaiian had no problem with the Japanese. They recognized Hawaii as an independent nation. The Hawaiian King went to Japan to request some workers and said that he would personally guarantee their safety in Hawaii. After the takeover by the American businessmen, Japan registered a formal complaint to the US every year until Hawaii was annexed into the US.

It's probably a good idea to look at the picture than to actually eat the stuff. I'm feeling a bit queasy at the moment.

I think the problem is that they don't want their traditional
lifestyle anymore, but also don't adapt well to western society. If
there is a 3rd option, I don't know what it is and they don't seem to
know either.

The promise of independence often makes an entire people side with the
bad guys.

Indeed it was but we're 6 hours behind you. I used to get calls from the East coast at 3 in the morning. Ha ha, that was funny and ignorant.

That's interesting. Those cats must find car engines to be quite comfortable on cold nights. My guess is that's what happened to the cat that adopted us. He's supposed to be a male but beats me how you can tell.

That's just the way we talk on the West coast the really real West coast. Just be happy that I did not call you "bro."
