I always thought that men in general loved cats more than women did??!!
I know so many that do anyway. But for a great pet, you can't beat dogs!
I also heard that pigs, Emu's and miniture horses make great pets - with the
horses & pigs being 'house' pets too. I also know that chickens make
fantastic pets - are smart and clean. Anyone have an exotic pet to tell us
about their experience with? I once tried to keep a baby fox - but it was
too much! Snakes are nice and can be used to scare away un-wanted guests.
I've always had a desire to get a baby alligator - but either of my husbands
would let me. I can't imagaine why .............? I know of one guy that
raised one from three inches long to four feet. Kept it in the bath tub.
Trouble was - it got so the alligator didn't know a pound of hamburger from
the guys hand! He had to donate it to the alligator farm in Buena Park
Calif. -=*) ANN (*=-

Subject: A woman
Date: 08/08/89  Time: 07:53:35

What should I think of a woman that comes over to visit and brings a naked
picture (a computer drawing from a VGA system) of my husband to give to me?
This drawing took hours, thought, imagination and talent! Should I fear for
my marriage? Should I retaliate and draw pictures of her husband? (from real
life!) From the look of the pix - it was more than imagination she used - it
was so real like! It even had his name in a beautiful style font on the
page, so there was no mistake. She could at least have drawn a fig leaf at
certain strategic places! I have a feeling this woman is 'wanton' - she's
drooled over my pool man more than once. She once was at my house absolutely
looking like a hussy fit to kill! Make-up plastered on so thick you could
cut it with a knife - LOOOONG dangling, sexy earrings and a drawn on Marilyn
Monroe mouth. I just don't know what to think of all this. Is 'Divorce
Court' in my future? A lonely old age? Have I corrupted once too often?
Sigh! -=*) ANN (*=-

        A Note to On-Lookers:  Did you catch how cunningly Rod tried to
trick me into blaspheming?
        He's nearly as clever as the religious conspiracy that dictated the
"Good times/Great taste" song include the lyric "Mc-d-o-n-a-L-D-S."
        Good try, Rod.

 Granted, plastic products do consume petroleum, since that is the base from
which plastic is made, but I had not heard that they generate CFCs. I was
under the impression that CFCs are those molecules that are put into the
atmosphere through propellants, such as shavingcreams, deodorants, and the
like. Also, of all things, those little cans of string that the kids play
with nowadays. I wonder if the little darlings know that they are destroying
their own future.

        Actually, Rod, the human body decays *faster* in an airtight coffin,
thanks to anaerobic bacteria.  If air can get into the coffin, the body
mostly just dries out.  In an airtight coffin, the corpse starts to liquefy
after a few months.
        Of course, the coffin itself doesn't deteriorate.  What we need to
do is initialy bury people in the airtight coffins, then pour them out after
a few years.

        I was under the impression that CFCs were only used in "foamy"
plastics, like styrofoam and its ilk.

I don't know how dangerous it is - but it'd certainly be boring. However, I
wish our politicians would use a tad more of it - not the dangerous kind!
Did you know that it will cost every man, woman and child in the U.S. $6,000
each to bail out the S & L's? And that's just the beginning. -=*) ANN (*=-

Hey.......................Bird Lovers...................

Flamingos stand on one foot to keep the other warm.  Careful observation
shows that the birds change feet in the cold water on an average of every
37.25 minutes.  Fact!

(Fact, on a par with some of the other truths and assertations passing for
intelligent repartee on this board, ie: All scientists are communists, and
channel 8 is a government propaganda mill, etc, etc, ad nauseum.)

See Y'aa..............

Thanks for the thoughts about coffins and bodies.  I'll put that info in my
memory banks.  Your rent-a-coffin idea sounds good.  In that way we can
limit the size of our cemetaries.  Token burial grounds would be better than
waking up one day to find that one third of the earth is covered by
tombstones.  -Rod

        I realize that our nation is an innocent lamb.  We never start
anything, we just finish it.  The spoon-fed news releases to the press by
the military government contains all of the pertinent information.  In
twenty-five years when this era's problems are declassified it will be
proven that all along we had the true facts.   Follow the yellow brick road.
