Yes, I forgot if he had their cat declawed or if he got it that way.
Either way, he didn't see anything wrong with the practice.

An Australian TV head had his pig slaughtered and invited friends over
to eat it with him. He called that "Celebrating the pig's life". Can
you get more hypocritical?

I wonder how many hunters hunt animals that actually need to be
culled.

Sheldon doesn't know what a feral cat is. Feral cats become vicious
when a human approaches them, if they even allow that to happen. He's
probably feeding the neighbours' cats.

Oh please. If his dog had "dashed out the door" he'd have come outside
trying to call it back. Nope, he wasn't the least bit concerned. He
opened the door, let the dog out and stood in the doorway to wait while
it did it's business. It didn't start barking until it saw Persia and
even then he didn't call to the dog.

Persia was already an escapee from *someplace* when she showed up at my
apartment. First she demanded to be let in, then she wanted out.
Apparently she was used to it. Being front-declawed (yes, by whoever
owned her *previously*) there was no way in hell I was going to let her
be an indoor-outdoor cat. That little adventure cured her of any
thoughts of the great outdoors.

That's why you should keep a pile of cash at home. I've never yet
needed to make a bank run and I've never used an ATM, don't have an
ATM card. I always keep cash on hand, a fire proof lock box filled
with like ten Gs in various denominations. I never leave home without
at least $500 in my wallet. Keeping cash at home comes in very handy
for paying contractors, they'll easily knock 10% off their estimate
for cash, and add no tax. Also when various contractors know I pay in
cash they put aside their other jobs and do mine first. I've yet to
figure out how adults can walk around without two nickles in their
pocket... other than those babies mever matured.

The reason why you don't understand so many things, is that you still
live in 19xx, whereas the world has moved on to 2019.

Hi, Gary. Okay, don't complain the bank isn't open when you're shopping
at 6AM. ATM's are open even if the bank isn't. Having said that, I
haven't been to an ATM in years. Don't need one because I don't pay
cash for anything but vegetables and fruit and the farm stands.

I already explained, not that anyone with a functioning brain couldn't
figure it out. In winter, with the boiler being in the basement, I
keep the basement door open (heat rises) but in summer with the A/C
on the cats use the flap, I'd be pretty dumb to air condition the
basement. Needed the larger cat door for Mische (25 pounds), he's
too big so he struggled to fit through the smaller cat door. The cat
door flap is never locked, in fact I removed the plastic slider
thingie that locks the door. The cats can easily push through the
flap but there is some sort of built-in magnet arrangement that keeps
the flap from flapping.

Moron! Feral cats will only fight when cornered. The ones here know
us and are used to us putting out their food and water. It took a few
months but now they let us pet them, a little. If they feel
threatened they disappear. I"ve never seen a feral cat here become
vicious, if yours are vicious then yours are carrying rabies. All our
feral cats have been trapped and brought to the Vet to be checked out
and fixed.

There is no rabies in Australia. Your cats are abandoned pets.

Yeah, air conditioning the basement would be pretty stupid. So would
leaving the basement door open all winter long in the winter. If they
are indoor cats why do they need a cat flap? Are you saying the ferals
make the trek from the barn into the basement? That's what I don't
understand.

I know you get your barn cats neutered and spayed whenever possible.
I'm just asking about the cat door in the basement. Isn't that where
the litter boxes are? Why would indoor only cats need a cat flap?

I can't remember the last time I was i my Credit Union office.

My SS check is direct deposit, and I also am still partially
self-employed, and use the mobile app to deposit checks,
and use my debit card for most things.

Once or twice a year, I'll cash a check at a local market,
and use that cash for minor things (like an occasional lotto ticket).

I wasn't stupid, so I pulled it off the deck into the kitchen. Of
course I didn't use it in the house for obvious reasons. I have a
single ring little gas heater, but after the hurricane I gave it to a
family down the road, she had just come home with baby #4 which was
bottle fed and he was trying to heat formula on his bbq. Best
argument I ever knew for breast is best

That's like saying you'll only make right-hand turns while driving.

Oh, I thought you got the BBQ inside to use it there. I was wondering
how that would have worked out.

Yes, you'd think the mother would be prepared to give the baby some of
her own formula.

When people have neither anything interesting, insightful, or relevant, to say they always use the good old standard passive aggressive Usenet ploy - grammar, spelling, and punctuation. I got more respect for the field of communications as well as the usage of my time to play that game.

My brother-in-law was beat up at an ATM in CA. He said the bank was responsible for this because of the design of the ATM - too many blind spots at the approach and exits. He was going to sue the bank and got Marvin Belli to take his case. Then the guy died - Mr. Belli, not my bro in law. That's the breaks.

My brother-in-law fought off the cowardly attackers and had to spend some time in bed in the hospital. Hoo boy, those pictures of him wasn't very pretty.

I love that guy - My brother-in-law, not Mr. Belli. He's like a Montana cowboy but he ain't no redneck. All the girls love him to but he's a wild rover and can't ever be tied down. He'll do things like drive across the country to help a friend then then drive back. That entire side of the family is like that. Their image of the width of the US is way smaller than mine.

It's about 50/50 here, or was last time I checked, my two and my dil
all breast fed, I suppose they didn't really dare not to My dil
said she is very glad she didn't use formula but without me preaching
she likely would have as she didn't know anyone who had breast fed.

I don't have a smartphone but I am able to scan actual checks into my
bank account or have them direct deposited. If he wants cash, ATM's are
available outside of normal banking hours. Cash back at checkout
sometimes costs extra. Depends on the store.

Point is, I don't know why he takes out all these singles then doesn't
set them aside for the next year's "hurricane season". I put the stash
of cash in the portable fireproof safe along with important documents.
No need to keep taking money out of the bank every year.

Yes, you can. There's pretty much always been a choice in how the bills
are dispensed. If you want $1 bills you can get them.

I usually get 10s and then change them for 3s and 7s.

I may be wrong, but I took it to mean the door inside the house leading to the
basement. Most likely, that's where the litter boxes are kept.

Or if he had the presence of mind when he asks for cash back he could ask
for some it in $1 bills. Then he wouldn't need to whine because the bank
is not open at 6:00 a.m.

So many simple solutions to simple problems if people would only think.

I wish my bank would give a choice. The very few times I hit the ATM the
minimum that can be withdrawn is $20 and you get it delivered to you as a
$20 bill. Cashback at any store I shop at is a better choice for me as I
can ask for what denomination I want.

Oh, and withdrawals are only in multiples of 20; $20, $40, $60, etc.

I'm in a hurricane zone, too. I have keep some cash in a suitcase type
fireproof portable safe. Along with important documents. I wonder if
he has renters insurance if he's so worried about hurricanes.

I always have food stocked in the pantry. If a hurricane comes through
(BTDT) and trees are down and there's a power outage, having a stack of
$1 bills won't help.
