Sometimes it is. I took almost two years off from BFC once. Priorities took priority. No regrets.
I was spending too much time on FB a while back, using it as a procrastination tool as much as anything else.
So I deleted the account. Simplified my life immensely.

I don't disagree with you, he made it sound like he's never coming back, and he may not. But if this is anything like his knife purchasing/selling cycles he probably will be. It's the whole drama of the thing that gets me, it doesn't have to be that way. truth be told it's none of my business but since I made comment initially I feel the need to explain myself. I guess I'd like to see him come back in once in a while is all.
Well I guess that is all.

For me, its touch and go. I spend time on the forums, but I reserve my summer to doing all the stuff we talk about during the winter. Spring and fall are busy outdoors too, but not as much as summer is.

I can respect Cody for seeing, identifying and correcting his issues. It happens, and an online forum can consume plenty of time.

Don't ya'll be gettin' any ideas, though. We can only afford to lose one member a year and Clich got tyis years spot.

Hmm, I thought Flexxx got this year's spot. I think he probably made the right decision, although his (ex?) wife sounds like a real piece of work. But he's gotta be there for his son, and that's important. Certainly more important IMO than posting on the forums, although I will be very sad to see him go.

On an unrelated note, my wife shipped out for Commissioned Officer Training yesterday, and today, I wake up to find that her cat is drenched in blood and urine and has left a 2 foot diameter pool of same in the kitchen. So he's off at the hospital (and I'm not telling her til she gets back), and I am waiting to see whether the bill will be big enough to prevent me from making the knife purchases I'd intended to make. Also had a minor car accident on the way back from dropping her at the airport, thanks to some careless construction people who left a cone in the middle of the only lane they left open on the highway, which got hit by several cars in a row. Not the most auspicious start to July.

Hey everybody
Starting on July 7th at 10:30, AMC is having Walking Dead season 3 preview. The 7th starts a marathon of seasons one and two building up to season 3.
Be there......don't miss it!

Tell the wife the poor guy didn't make it

Cat is good with teriyaki sauce and string beans. Just sayin'.

I know there are tons of pet lovers that are going to hate my guts, but when my pets get sick or are going to cost me a used car's worth of money to get them fixed, I offer them a Warrior's Death, and a quick, deep burial.

Maybe its just me, but in other countries, dogs and cats are food, and raised as such. I do love my guinea pig Rodney, he's one of the coolest pets I've ever owned, but trust me, if I get hungry enough, his ass is going on toast.

Hey, guinea pigs were raised as a food source in the Andes for many centuries, its the reason why we have them as pets.

Yeah, not an option. This cat has been with my wife for something like half her life, and she's not around to make the call. Plus, he's already costing an arm and a leg because he's diabetic. Sounds like it's just a UTI, so it shouldn't be too spendy. But yeah, I can't make the call to have him put down while she's away at COT.

I understand your position, brother, I really do. We've had our tom cat since 1998, and he's almost ready to make the journey. He was a terror in his youth, but now, he just kills grass and passes gas.

We'll be heading to the woodline soon enough, and it will crush my wife, as, he's her cat.

But, I'll make sure he goes out painlessly when its time. I don't see the need to pay someone to kill my pet for me.

Priceless Moose. Ive seen you hungry! I bet Rodneys poor little furry ass is sweatin bullets constantly!

Somebody call Thrillbilly and tell him to pick up the mail, pronto.

Hehehe.
I figure if you agree to trust me, stay off the counters, come when I call, and sleep in my crotch without chewing on the tender bits, then I agree not to eat you and to patch up your hurts. Oh yeah, and you have to tolerate an occasional zerbert. But I probably wouldn't do chemo, life support, etc.

Figure our social contracts with livestock animals is somewhat different.

zerbert- creating a seal between a human mouth and flesh (commonly the stomach or arm) and then blowing, producing a fart-like sound.

Had to look it up.

I'm paying cash, to see you give your cat a zerbert. Probably not $100, but I would certainly go $20-$25.



If I tried that with either of my cats, I'd be missing part or all of my ears.

Odd timing considering, the last of my three cats passed around one this morning of cancer, at my dads house. She was a member of the family for 16 years.

Really? I may just have to school you on human feline relationships if I can find a videographer...


Sorry to hear about your kitty, Silver. It's hard when they go.

Understood.

I zerbert my kids all the time. I learned about it from the Cosby Show.

I zerbert my kids and my wife. I just never knew it had a name.

Fun is fun, no matter what you call it, I just can't see holding down a cat and doing it. I would like to see it though.
