What would you do?
We all believe our faith will get us to heaven but The Bible says that many will be cast down even having performed miracles and casting out demons in the name of Jesus so maybe you missed the point and your faith wasn't enough. So...suppose the rapture comes and you are still here...you know the bible and this is your wake up call. you refuse to accept the mark of the beast because you know it will damn your soul to hell. according to the Antichrist now in control you cannot buy or sell with out the mark. people are hunting you... police have your name on a list.... I could write a book about this call it "Still here"

A little background.
Several years ago the rancher next to our place had a dog "that just showed up" and adopted his herd of cows. It runs with his herd and is not fed by anyone, however the rancher says he occasionally sets some dry dog food out when the herd is grazing close to his house. If a coyote or any critter like that comes around he raises Holy Hell, barking like mad. I saw coyotes around the herd one time when this happened.
The dog always had a collar, but no one could get close enough to check it out. It's always been a real curiosity. When cows have come by our camp (rancher leases our land for grazing) I have thrown a hotdog to the dog and he will come up within about 20 feet grab it and run off to eat it.
Rancher is an ok guy that helps keep an eye on things on our place. (we are 4 hours away)
We have no grievance with him. He is very happy to have a "stock dog".
While checking fences this past week, I stumbled onto a dog collar with rabies vac attached. Name of vet with phone number. Last tag was 2004. Which is about the time the dog showed up. (vet is about 30 miles from here.) There are no dogs around here so am pretty sure what dog it came from.
Question?
1. Let vet know so he can contact owner and get dog back after 5 years?
2. Let rancher keep dog employed as a stock dog? (dog seems to like it)
3. Throw tags away and not "get involved?"
I'll let you know how this works out.0 -
I had to got to work this morning to do some paper work. I get home around 11:30 and my dog is trying to tell me something. he is not barking, but he keeps running back and forth to the bedroom. I am thinking to my self you must want out on the back porch real bad.
So I go back there and open up the blinds to the sliding glass door.
OH $#!+ what the? The neighbor kid (16-17) is passed out on my back porch,
and puke ever where.
After I got him awake, & this kid is drunk real bad (he only missed his house buy about 30 feet) I got him a little cleaned up and walked staggerd him home. His mom was not there at the time.
I wish not to let it go, he was smart enough not to drive his car.
But I think the parents should know about it. I have not said anything yet. I think if it was my kid I would like to know pronto!

My closest nieghbor has a grown boy. About 24 yrs old.
Called me at my shop said he needed to see me about something.
When he showed up he had his deer rifle with him.
He said he has done something stupid and needed 100.00 bucks.
Take the rifle and dont tell dad PLEASE!! He said.
Now...the boy ain't into drugs or booze...I know him and the family very well. I gave him 125.00 for the rifle. I know he has been looking for a job hard and doing side work for everybody in town.
Reckon I should have a talk with his Pa? He has had that rifle for as long as I have known him. Just can't figure what the young man has gotten himself into. When I asked him, how stupid a thing, he just looked at his feet and said REAL stupid. Real good folk..church going.

Went to pickup some venison summer sausage today at the local smokehouse.
I walked in told the gal my name and after a minute she said sir the total will be $103.01. I gave her 2 $50 bills and a $5 bill, $105 total. She put all 3 bills under the register drawer. I didn't pay much attention cause I was starving and that place always smells great!!
Anyway I noticed she was counting out quite a bit of $$$ for my change. I immediately thought she must have thought I gave her 3 $50 bills. So I told her mam I think your giving me too much change. So she looked under the drawer and saw that I gave her 2 $50s and 1 $5.
She looked embarassed then recalculated my change at $1.99, so I gave her a penny and she gave me $2.
Went home with a smile on my face cause my summer sausage was done 5 days before they said it would be when I dropped it off last thursday.[:p]0 -
You are about to take a short test. It consists of only one question which is very, very important. Don't answer too quickly or without thinking. Answer truthfully and you will test your moral fiber.
It is an imaginary situation, in which you have to make a decision. Remember, you have to give a spontaneous answer, but it must be truthful.
(Scroll down slowly to ensure the test is accurate...)
You are in Florida.....
....in Miami, to be exact.
You are in the midst of the chaos of tremendous flooding after a hurricane.....
.....unbelievable amounts of water everywhere.
You are a photographer for CNN.......
....and here you are, in the middle of an historic disaster.
The situation seems almost without hope.
You're trying to shoot some great pictures that capture the scene...
....while all around you the flood swirls, houses float away, people disappear
The power of nature is unleashed mercilessly with its all its fury . .
.
...and takes everything with it.
Suddenly, you see a woman in an SUV....
She's struggling valiantly not to be swept away by the mass of debris in the flood.
You wade closer, against an angry current.
She seems somehow familiar.
Then you see her--it is Hillary Roddam Clinton!
Sudden, you notice that the rising flood is about to sweep her away, forever.
You have to make a choice: Save her, or snap the picture of your career!!!
Save her, or take the photo that will win you the Pulitzer prize.
One photo, which records the horrible accidental death of one of the most important women in the world....
Now, the question (answer truthfully!):
(scroll down)
Glossy or matte finish?

this is a serious question.
i have a chance to but my dream car, a 2004 dodge viper.
the price is right, but the mrs says no car loans.
between the trade in and some cash, i'm still $8K shy.
the seller will finance the balance at $500/mo with 10% interest if i give him $10k of my guns as collateral. he's trustworthy but the interest rate is high.
i could just sell $8000 of guns and be done with it, but.......
guns continue to appreciate and cars depreciate, i know that, but will the guns appreciate more than what the loan costs?
any accountants out there?
thanks

Is he your boyfriend or your owner? Do what YOU want and if he "decides you can't have it", you can make the same decision about HIM! [:(!] 0 -
Agree with Spider 100%! You want a bike get a bike, to heck with the BF. He don't like he can take a hike. 0 -
BF will either accept you for who you are or he won't. The biggest mistake you can make is to try to be something different for another person. Too many people go into relationships 'enduring' things they don't like about the other person and thinking "We'll just work to change that." It's disastrous for both parties and accounts for the 50% divorce rate. Be true to who you are. MHO 0 -
I would explain the need to ride, the freedom you feel when riding and that you don't ride like the family does.
I always ended up laying my bike down once a year, wqas a must to find the edge and limits. Lived in Colorado and the mountains passes are the best to let your skills as a rider and the bikes ability get tested to the limit. never got hurt ussually rode the bike into the ditch like a surf board when I'd get into a curve to hot and couldn't lean it anymore before she went down. Always full leathers and helmet when raceing through the passes with friends, while testing our skills, bikes, and braverity.[8D]0 -

Sounds fair. HE doesnt run your life. HE runs HIS. He can give you ADVICE.. but..
So im also, agreeing with everyone else including dad.0 -
Don't let that macho boyfriend boss you around.
Sounds just like my mother when I was 18, "You can't get a motorcycle."
Then, one day I drove up on my new motorcycle. It was paid off, I had the title in my pocket, I was legally an adult.
She got over it.0 -
Its your choice, but understand sometimes guys aren't just telling you to not do certain things because of a need to control you....
I've toyed with the idea of getting a crotch rocket for a couple years. My girlfriend is strongly opposed and has let me know, in no uncertain terms, that as long as I'm with her I ain't getting one...
She doesn't say that because she wants to control me, she's just afraid I'll get hurt. As it is, a motorcycle isn't worth the fight to me anyways....
You have to take into consideration WHY he is saying the things he is, then determine if getting the bike is worth losing him.
As always, just my opinion.....0 -

I would replace him with a motorcycle. The jerk thinks he owns you, and that is not going to get better with time, it is going to get worse.0 -
Does he try to control other aspects of your life...If he does kick him to the curb now because it will just become more so in the future. If this is the only thing he has stepped up on, maybe his assessment of you skills causes him true concern. Only you can decide the answers to these questions... 0 -

I remember my grandfather seeing something like that, saying, "That's how angels are made!"

If you want a bike get a bike, don't let what other people think chnge your mind. BUT only you know your riding abilties, there is nothing wossie about the 600 sportbikes of the last 2-3 yrs. a 600 riden correctly will be able to pass most 1300's in the twisty's. 0 -
Kick him to the curb. Saying you can't get a bike because others are riding like idiots? 0 -
I suspect he saw your mom and family riding unsafely and got scared.
When I hear stories like "I laid my bike down at least once per year, or twice per year" it makes me wonder why the death wish. I ride with the intention of never dumping my bike and do not race on roads I am not familar with.
Never dumped a street bike on the road yet. I have been riding since the 1960s. I think you can have a lot of fun with a fast bike and still ride safe. You need to convince your hubby of that.
Why take the tack of "Screw you, I am doing what I want!". You can give him a few weeks to cool off then start taking him down to look at bikes. He will most likly get the bug too. Take a rider safety course with him to show him you want to do it right and avoid the falls if possible.
I know accidents happen, I have dumped two of my bikes in my front yard in front of my neighbors just trying to turn or back up. Road accidents happen but I have taken the "riders edge" course and I know how to reduce the probability of having an accident.
It is difficult to avoid getting hit in the back at a stoplight or getting T-boned by someone turning right in front of you. But doing the curves at 100+, laying the bike down on the side and shooting up to 150+ is not smart. Its showing off and thats what gets you killed.
Ride safe and often! Good Luck with your sales job!0 -
Wait a second here. Your boyfriend is telling you that you can or can't get something? So, you need his permission?
If he's putting his foot down and saying, "You can't do this," then, my dear, it is time for you to kick said boyfriend to the curb. He thinks he owns you, he thinks that he's in charge, and if you were to marry this guy, it will only get worse. You'll be a stepford wife at best.
If he's merely making a suggestion, that's something else entirely.
It is one thing if you're married and say, finances are tight, and either the purchase of the bike makes it unaffordable or too expensive to insure. That's wise foresight in my eyes.
But, you're not married, this doesn't seem to be a question of finances, and dammit, I don't like a guy telling a woman she can't do something because he doesn't approve.
Finally, any good relationship is based upon trust and openness. The fact that you're considering hiding a significant purchase from your boyfriend in order to have what you want tells me that your relationship is already headed south.
Dump the jerk when you get home. Seriously.0 -

I know, my mom rides a 750 I think it's geared down at that. She doesn't like anything bigger but she can out run Shannon's and Traci's 1000 on anything but long straight aways.
I want a straight line bike/drag. 600 isn't enough. I have atv's pushing over 100hp and jet ski's over 170hp. I love raw power.[:D]0 -

My boyfriend sees this and decides I can't get a bike cause he thinks I'll get hurt. Since I'm being careful on my bike, he thinks I'm not a skilled rider. . . . I'm thinking if I get one I'm going to keep it at my dad's and hide it from him.
#1 You need to straighten him out on why you were riding carefully.
#2 I'm not going to say "kick him to the curb" over this issue but if you feel so strongly about it that you would go behind his back you have some serious thinking to do.
I sort of get the impression you're cohabitating, right? That tends to complicate things a bit.0 -
lock your knees together until HE buys you the bike you want [^] 0 -
If a bike is what YOU want, go ahead and buy the bike YOU want, ride it whenever YOU want to, the way YOU want to, and at the speed YOU want to. Yes, Cutiegirlracing, sometimes it is all about YOU.[;)][^] 0
