I'm not sure how I feel about this. I would think zoo animals over time could be domesticated to accept processed foods. Evidently, the process is being administered as humanely as possible.

Gentlemen, please, the squeeze play is for baseball!!

I understand and appreciate your feelings, I've been there. When I garnered the inspiration to begin posting, I experienced the gambit of troll negativity, from the pedantic condescendence to the unfounded, indecorous personal attacks, which initially dampened my spirits. After a time, it became apparent to me that this site, like most social media sites, is an extension of society in general where there is a mix of the good/bad/indifferent. For me, it has been a positive journey. I've found the "ignore button" within myself, which I believe you can do as well and just dismiss the troll attacks with a chuckle and perhaps some sympathy for troubled individuals. The trolls at this site are far outweighed by the nuggets of genuine information, encouragement, empathy, and humor. "Keep on keeping on!"

His amazing legs (all three) could persuade me to overlook the ink. 😛

If only!

If those images are genuine...

My heartfelt condolences for your tragic loss. Your lengthy recovery is certainly understandable, and commendable. I feel certain that It is very unlikely that I would have the necessary grit to move on from it.

now Just a follow-up/conclusion. I received my new passport book today. I thought the application photo was bad, well, the photo, as it appears in the new passport book, would prompt the villagers to make the sign of the Cross and shelter in place.

I remember when all of this was made public. It was very disappointing for a lot of kids.

Kudos upon Kudos to you for what you have done. I'm exhausted from just reading all the hoops you have had to jump through to get the site back up and running for us.

I frequently experience the same feelings of despair. I've come to the conclusion that it's not so much the content of online/TV news but the constant repetition of it. The second part of it is the scope of it. There was a time when news was more locally confined, now if there is a fart anywhere in the world, it's shoved into our faces 24/7.

Granted there is a tad more reluctant tolerance, but U.S. society in general is a looooong way from treating gay people the same as everyone else.

Some more mainstream journalism sources reporting the same issues: https://nypost.com/2025/07/24/sports/the-scandals-that-followed-hulk-hogan-after-iconic-wrestling-career/https://uk.news.yahoo.com/gawker-sex-tape-maga-turn-191701586.html? guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAANHcolhwYCacPoZnSnrGwdDhhaguPOXoVnQXdGiJEP361fU4Wk1zsaTYs-sZSJLGIP1bRkh11cXnxyrSyI31Ju9H_fLL1Eyxo5gE0V0bT1lp3Ouitg3fpbHMRs0SsoIWymhccBfpYnpvIdRwcQBi5jbtzautfIB6fFJmV4cFq3ZN https://www.newsweek.com/hulk-hogan-dead-controversy-racist-scandal-wwe-2103674 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-33657483

I recall from reading that most humans can recall every negative experience that they have had but cannot recall the last pleasant experience. After reading that I realized that I'm pretty much like that.

The U.S. bourbon and other adult beverages hard times is no surprise: "A joint press release by Spirits Canada and the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States shows that from March 5 until April 30, sales of U.S. spirits in Canada fell by 66.3 per cent compared with the same period last year."

Revel in the memory, let go of the fantasy.

I'm thinking it would be a dark comedy to watch the big-money people emerging from their bunkers trying to adapt to doing manual labor or finding enough laborers to establish/maintain their pre-apocalyptic big-money lifestyles.

I understand that across-the-board generalizations have risk, but I have always avoided well stock.

I'm solid Wild Turkey 81, the 101 only occasionally, as makes for a short evening 😜.
