Really? My son loves them but I've read they can have tons of back problems.
There are many breeds considered immoral by dog lovers, who see the breeding to enhance certain traits/characteristics that cause pain and injury to the animal as completely unnecessary :( Cavalier King Charles comes to mind especially, and other breeds with the pug face, for the former can suffer horribly from a skull that is too small for its brain, and the latter often have debilitating respiratory problems. If you research some dog breeds, you can see how much they have changed over the years. Thankfully here, the docking of tails and ears has just been banned.

The Ladies Forum... supposedly only able to be viewed by women, but any unscrupulous man could create an account under the guise of a woman, and read to his wicked heart's content.

well now that you've told them.....:cool:

yeah...I have ventured a few times but maybe posted only once or twice

I keep it private pretty much

Maybe you could feed it to the gators?

I saw a skunk by the roadside recently coming home late one weekend night...

That's about as dangerous as it gets around here :D

Unless you are a small animal. Then the coyotes might get you...

ha

or more like go out west in the winter months for a vacation cause I do like snow

skunks, gators, panthers, bears, racoons by the boatload, armidillos, turtles galore, birds of all kinds (love when the mockingbirds sing) and butterflies with huge wings and this is not good, but fire ants too

fire ants...:mad:

I think one of our dogs stepped on a nest the other day


There are of course black and grizzly bears nearby,
but not very close if you are in the city proper.

They can be problematic in smaller communities :(

As can the bigger, feral cats...


no grizzlies...just black bears

oh and turkeys and buzzards...gangs of stuff really

manatees...

A real humble read is 2 Timothy 4

Paul was such a devoted man to Heavenly Father and the Messiah.

Thank you Rosemary for sharing.


May we all be able to proclaim that by the power of GOD.

EG, asked this question:
who here believes that once a christian is saved, they are at the finish line?
======================================================

we see that not many have answered, but we know that many here believe in this...
'they believe that they are DONE doing anything, 'shoe-in' and at NO CHARGE' -
but only believe that they have been given a 'free-ticket' to all the BALL-GAMES'...
front/or/best-seat...

go ahead ya'll, and just wait and see IF you can see where, who, you are, or even close,
then, if...

root yourselves out, brothers and sisters and READ what our Saviour has to say about all
of this...

Our Worship - Our WALK - our RACE - our DUTY, our GOAL/REASON -
all leading-onward towards our NEW-BEGINNING...our REBIRTH/MESHING,
realized in God's Holy Spirit...

Can you name any, and follow it up with proof? Hearsay is a dangerous thing, and can lead to gossip, we would not want that,

Key words, yes :)

Well I just saw something odd...

Some men do not believe there is any way that subsequent unbelief can make you be cut off. They think those who do believe it to be very arrogant.

Other men do believe they've been warned that subsequent unbelief is to be guarded against through examination because Israel was cut off for it, and they also think the first group of men is very arrogant...

So maybe having the belief or not having the belief is not the problem. Maybe arrogance is the problem...

People coming back without permission after being banned will often be banned again, too. Some people return again and again against the rules, usually making exerted attempts to hide who they are, by changing their age and gender, among other things.
Really? It must cost thousands of dollars to change your gender.
