Dude! You've written a program to track this stuff haven't you!  :biggrin:

Naw!  It's easy really. I used the advanced search built-in on the forum. Hint: Open Search - Advanced Search and search for the words - grapes england - by the user me* - Click on the option "Show Results as Messages" and there you have it.

No injun trickery at all. A little medicine man magic, maybe.....

  One of these days you're going to wake up and are surrounded by a tribe of angry Democratic Indians and your going to say to Tonto your hubby.

It's a slow day in the small town of Pumphandle and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit. A tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at the hotel, and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night. As soon as he walks upstairs, the hotel owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher. (Stay with this..... and pay attention) The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill to his supplier, the Co-op. The guy at the Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her "services" on credit. The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel Owner. The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the traveler will not suspect anything. At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, picks up the $100 bill and leaves. No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole town now thinks that they are out of debt and there is a false atmosphere of optimism and glee. ............................................................... And that is how a "stimulus package" works!

Another gem from you inbox, I see.  Actually, at some point during this process, a pig was fed, raised and butchered, someone got laid and a hotel room was rented.  How do you think a normal economy works?

  I agree with your old Red Head on that one.  Just look how screwed up Indiana is.  And it going to get worse with the Republicans in complete control.  Butter Chunk.  :kiss:  Better hid some more of your money in the old lumpy mattress you got.  :haha:

No, that did not come from my inbox for your information. It was on Hubby's BIL's, who was head math professor at Huntington U. until his retirement a few years ago,  FB page.  I did not post it as a fact thing I posted it because I thought it was cute but you, having no sense of humor, wouldn't understand that.

I laugh at lots of things...if they're funny.  The fact still reamins that this has nothing to do with any stimulus but is a pretty good description about how money flows through any normal economy.  Trying to turn it into a dig on Bush's stimulus packages doesn't change that.

I never said I was perfect but here's a clue for you asshat: I am a dog person and got bitten pretty good on my right wrist/hand earlier this week catching someone else's dog before he got hit in heavy traffic.  The bite got infected and I spent a good portion of my day Wednesday in the ER and seeing a hand specialist and am making daily trips through the weekend for dressing changes and IV antibiotics.  I am right handed and it is currently splinted and heavily bandaged so I am typing and using my mouse with my left hand and on Vicodin for pain.  I'm sure that it's difficult for someone like you to understand why I would put myself at risk for another living creature but it's just how I roll...and I'd do the same thing tomorrow if needed.

Oh, and I don't know the people whose dog I caught nor do I expect them to pay for injuries I received helping them.  Once I verified the dog's vaccinations were up to date, I was on my way.

Now ask me how impressed I am that you found a typo I made today?

FWIW, here's what the bite looked like before the infection really took hold.  The marks that look like little slits were made by the dog's molars so he had a pretty good grip on my arm for a second (70-80 lb. mixed breed dog).

Probably because your sense of humor rarely intercedes with your sense of smugness and superiority.

DA-A-A-A-A-AAAAAMMMMNNNN!!!!!!!!!

Take care of yourself, dog man.

Thumbs up on the action -- and, fwiw, (so you don't feel like the only dog lover) I probably would have done the same thing.

Have committed similar actions in the past, and probably will in the future.

Holy cow!!!  :eek:

I hope that gets better soon.  That has to be especially annoying being bitten on your right hand.

Damn Ex that does look nasty and terribly painful.  If that was before the infection took hold you must be in some serious pain.  All this stupid forum BS laid aside I admire you for what you did and for the way you treat your animals.  Hope that gets better soon.
