    OT: Uh oh, new bigfoot tape will probably surface soon

    Hey, that video was taken not too far from here. I'll be sure to keep my eyes open. ;)

    Compost advice needed....

    Techically, you *can* compost any type of meat. (There's a company in - Sweden(?) that will compost a dead relative for you.) The problem is in the aesthetics. Compost is basically rotting stuff. Rotting vegetable matter doesn't smell too bad. Rotting meat smells BAD. Rotting fish equally...

    De-clawing Cats

    Where did you get this information? I've volunteered at two "kill" shelters, and neither has put down a cat just because it has claws. Health, behaviour and temperment are what goes into making that decision - not whether the animal has claws. Then why don't you declaw dogs, too? Dogs...

    Dragons?!?!

    There's always this theory: *inserts tongue into cheek* -Satan is an angel (albeit a fallen one). Satan is sometimes referred to as the Great Dragon. -Some dragons have wings. Some angels have wings. -Angels appear to be Heaven's administrative staff. In Chinese mythology, dragons run...

    Cell Phone Companies

    We use MTS, which I think is one of the Bell subsidiaries. We don't use our cellphone a lot - mostly on the weekends - but we've been very happy with the service we've gotten from MTS.

    PETA is at it again, this time with J. Lo

    I can't locate a story about those comic books in particular (although I'm still looking), but PETA has a history of targeting their campaigns at kids. There are several stories about PETA going to schools to hand out "trading cards" to kids. PETA activists to visit Lincoln Middle School...

    PETA is at it again, this time with J. Lo

    I am all for treating animals humanely, but PETA takes it to radical extremes. (For instance, they advocate banning pets.) Therefore, I support PETA: People Eating Tasty Animals.

    Did You know Pure bred Golden Retrievers are not PURE?

    Well, *technically* they all started off as wolves. ;) No breed of dog sprang up "fully formed," as it were.

    Rats

    Rats live 2 or 3 years. Sometimes you'll get lucky and have a rat that lives 5 or so. I used to have pet rats. It always broke my heart when they died, after having known them for such a short time. :sigh:

    Not Having Children

    I can't speak directly about the attitudes of the Church towards couples who have decided not to have children, but I can relate my personal experiences about society in general. My husband and I decided before getting married that we were not interested in having children. Age, distance of...

    declawing cat opinions

    I would call it a vasectomy or tubal ligation. If you honestly think that removing a cat's toe up to the first joint is more humane than just training them not to scratch the furniture, then you're entitled to your opinion. Of course. :(

    Am I Lying ?

    Well, now it's just semantics. "To me, my journey took 24 hours." "But to me, your journey took more than 24 hours." They are both correct, hence the time paradox.

    Vegetable Garden

    I always have a veggie garden, although this year we're cutting down the size of it because of the amount of time it takes for maintenance. :( But insterad, we're going to plant fruit shrubs in its place, so we won't totally lose out on the yummy. Last year we planted tomatoes, kidney...

    What cats do you have??

    Near as we could figure, my cat has a healthy dose of Turkish Angora in her. Her name is Jaws. :)

    Am I Lying ?

    Assuming I still have my head wrapped around the special theory of relativity... yes, it would have taken you 24 hours, but only in your frame of reference. From an outside, stationary frame of reference, it would have taken more than 24 hours.

    Students live religions

    I think it's an excellent idea. In many of today's cultures, religious themes and value are a huge part of the way that people live their lives. Understanding those religions will help you understand why people react to things the way they do, and can help predict how they will react to a...
