One shot, one kill. The damage. And that's with regular table salt. Imagine the carnage I could inflict using kosher salt. Oy.

Hired.

Now available in convenient, easy-to-carry individual portions.

'Course I can't eat strudel anymore without hearing Christoph Waltz say, "Attendez la crème" before I take my first bite.

Yeah...Mike somethingorother....right? He actually did some pretty good reviews IIRC. On the German note...my Strudel guy's over his back injury and he's puttin' out product again. Yay.

I say the same thing to that guy in the mirror every morning.

I'm gonna' sit this one out. (I may or may not have chuckled once or twice.)

Holy moly. So the energy of a 4 year-old on crack, and the size of a small horse. He must have been a blast to play tug-of-war with. It's funny how deeply ingrained those habits become.

Happy dog. Golden Retriever? Oh, both kids...and our granddaughter...still live in our area code. But it's still an hour-long drive (at interstate speeds) to see them. We do it all the time, but it's no substiite for them being in the house when you wake up in the morning and when you come home from work.

Shhhhhhh! The Man Card Issuing Authority might be listening, and I'm only 2 demerits away from revocation.

I thought about that too...but then decided that I hope 10 days is enough time for me to get a handle on my newfound estrogen-esque emotions, as blubbering like a little girl on stand probably isn't going to prove to be an enhancement to my ambush predator technique.

Good prompting. I need to get out and sample some of the Oktoberfest goodies recently released by the local breweries...before we're overrun by pumpkin-flavored everything (as much as I love most pumpkin-flavored things...and I'm looking at you, IHOP pumpkin pancakes...I've never found a pumpkin beer that I like).

Thanks all...and I apologize if this came across as a cheap plea for sympathy (though that's appreciated anyway), because what prompted me to share it was that I was truly struck by just how much harder I took this one than I have any other in the past. Yes, she was a great dog...intelligent, loyal, loving and very protective of our home and everyone in it. But so were several of my previous dogs, including the one we had to put down nearly 12 years ago. I was deeply attached to all of them. But for some reason, losing Mia (the pampered princess in the photo) was more of a punch in the gut than was losing any of the others, even though we've been preparing for it for well over a month now. Why? Well, I'm no Sigmund Fraud, and I didn"t even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I suspect it's one of the effects of "empty nest" syndrome. I'll just repeat what I already told someone in a PM: Then again, maybe I'm just becoming a big baby in my old age.

Well...what else was I gonna' do with this monkey wrench?

Not for those of us who have our forums settings configured to display 30 posts / page. What about us? Huh?! :tap:

Like dumbass father like dumbass son. Yet another data point in support of the hypothesis that there's a genetic component to being an ignorant douchebag with an entitlement mentality.

If he'd been hit with a shot of pepper spray he'd have been doing a lot of wiping of his face and eyes, even with the glasses...not to mention issuing a liberal dose of profanities, I would think. Wiping down his rifle barrel would have been the last of his concerns.

I'm guessing that habitual trespassers tend to not come from the rocket surgeon end of the gene pool. In any event, that seems like it was a missed opportunity to try these out: Rap4 Less Lethal Pepper Filled Balls

That whole series of commercials was great.

So long as you don't count last week.

Nope. We're watching Dallas get spanked by Denver...until we change the channel in 10 minutes to see if Geen Bay can pull out another ugly win.

How 'bout dem Raiderses?

Two in the.....ah...one in the....er, I mean.... Never mind.

Wait! Don't kill the thread! I can rescue it AND get crookedeye's attention while I'm doing it (plus it's of regional interest to you)... NC mom invents a spray she says will attract any Bigfoot within a mile and a half

Hey, that's really handy. Thanks.

They'd better, or else there'll be treble.

I wonder if chocolate is as toxic to coyotes as it is to domesticated dogs.
