With all due respect, there is probably a reason you are wearing that stupid hat in your profile pick.

Because I honor a bet.

I'm not a Bernie or climate activist supporter but an arsonist staying the fire really doesn't change anything in that post....... 8 months without rain can certainly be a huge factor in a fire getting away outta hand.

Many months without rain happens in a desert

We can't save them if you eat them, mate.

i nursed a couple back to health years ago and damn near broke my heart taking them to the rehabilitation center

Exactly, you thought you knew something and didn't. Now you know everything.

P.S. what was the bet?

Same happened with us with some baby opossums. But it was also rewarding to release them back into the wild.

U

Access? Now more expensive? Hardly.

How about self employed, health insurance was far to expensive, ask Hog what kind of insurance he provided farm hands.

None, why the hell would we provide HI to HS and college kids?

I will be retired very soon as well, and my wife and I will be spending much of our time and resources on animal rescue/rehab as well.

Kudos and glad to "know" you.

Let me know when you retire. We(my wife and I) have a great network built for info on relocations. We currently are engaged in a project to build a massive no-kill, resort shelter for dogs and cats. A place where they can thrive happily, regardless of whether or not they are adopted into a forever home

Hey, maybe all you guys can get together and tell me I'm Hitler. My guess is you didn't use your time wisely.

Ah, now I see, you must be talking about my time incarcerated. It wasn't for years so it didn't click. But time is time.

And honestly I reflected more on the type of person I was/wanted to be. I used it to put together why I was the way I was, things I could do to make my life easier, and things I should stay away from that made it difficult for me.

You see I focused on me, I wasn't looking around for things to piss me off (horrible way to do time..... that will get you killed), or try to attribute blame to someone or something else for how my life was going. I spent it on me, so yes, rest assured I spent it wisely.

I have been much more successful in life since. We bought a farm about 8 years ago and started a rescue, then the economy turned after COVID and we've struggled since. But I love that struggle, we care for our animals and will for as long as we possibly can. I'm happy, although I still struggle with mood swings I no longer trend toward violent outbursts under extreme stress or confrontation, I'm a better human being.

Thanks for the sincere interest in my life's circumstances.

My observations as to luther is to maybe help him, although it might not seem that way or futile in nature. Really, I barely express my opinion on the forum, most of it is telling people what their opinions are - observation (95%).

Yes, and other factors all contributeed.

i lied through my teeth when they asked me if there was any ungloved contact with them. Those little assholes crawled all over my arms and shoulders, thought my long hair was another coon and cried like the world was ending if i left their sight.

We nursed some orphaned baby skunks in a similar fashion. We released them in a nature preserve near us.

What area of the country are you in? I network with some local people. We mainly deal with farm animals, we used to run a rescue for senior and special needs farm animals but had to scale way back. But when animals need a place they find us. We don't turn anything away, we find a place somewhere with people we trust.

We currently have 8 cats and 3 dogs, 45 goats, about 30 dumped roosters, 20 hens, a few rabbit and down to one horse.There's a few feral cats that live in the barn we feed as well.

In my experience they do not want to spray you. I've had to chase a few out of our barns and I've been with 2-3 feet and never got sprayed.

Both Southern Middle and Upper East Tennessee. We provide resources to the entire country though. Usually underwriting moves from one part of the country to another.

I still wear our friendship bracelet we made out of underwear elastic bands we'd accumulate during laundry duty.
