My partner and I shoot, shoot well, practise to insure that we shoot well, and enjoy hunting.
There is nothing in the world as wonderful as watching a sunrise, watching the chickadees attack the birdfeeder- they will even eat from your hand if you are steady enough, watch the rabbits head home.
In the city, you are being pulled into a hundred directions. When you are hunting, only one.
We eat everything we kill. Could I buy a chicken at a supermarket more easily than shooting a partridge? You bet. Much easier, even cheaper. Isn't the same.
When those partridges become supper, the conversation is about the trip, the chickadees, how we felt about being there. Supper becomes the experience re-lived. I surely don't want that conversation about the chicken- had to fight through traffic, it was hot/it was cold, prices going through the roof... You get where I'm going here. The experience is not worth re-living.
I don't know anyone who gets a thrill from killing. We hunt for the advantage of eating tasty animals. Not a "thrill".
And to the question of vegan vs meat eaters- I lived the vegetarian thing for about 5 years. And then I got sick. The food value of meat is clear at least to me. I don't see a difference, as I have chosen to eat meat, between cow and deer. Taste is one difference. With a deer that my partner has shot, I know that the animal died humanely. With a cow- anybodies guess.

Theres no space for your country. I live in Perth WA (Western Australia) as my profiles suggests but theres a Perth in the UK and a WA in the US. So really am I a pom, a skip or a yank.
In fact am I me? Who am I, who are you speaking to and where did you get this number?

Which TR shortened to QL. I hope that there is no US State called QL as that could be confusing.
But you could use the [b]AU[/b] instead of the [b]WA[/b] to make sure that everyone knows where you are though I'm not sure to many Aussies actually know where Perth is.
I've ridden & driven the Nallabour highway more times than I care to think and each time I swear it will be the last, it's just not a [b]Fun Road[/b] to drive. The last couple of times I've been to Perth I flew and now that's the only way that I'll consider going and coming back.
I very nearly bought a Classic Mercedes till I saw that it was in Perth and then I dropped it like a [b]Hot Potato.[/b] It would have been a nice car to own but I wasn't about to drive it back or even consider getting it trailered around.

Given the post I just made George_ou's Mac thread, I may have a hard time convincing some of you, but in my defence it was a Mac thread. :^0

Oh, ok then - I'll sign 'em - for Tig's charity, though, mind you.
Back to the trousers this morning for practical reasons. All fivefootnzeroinches of me will shortly be mountain climbing up desks and shelving...oh, yes, I'm still getting all the good jobs, Dawg.
(And no, you're not allowed to post what my oppo called me yesterday!!! :p )
Not as hot, but still in the high 80F's, and the mountain climbing is just going to make it a damn site wusserer....

Peer me anytime you are near by. Be happy to provide tips on places. Philly is full of places, you just have to watch some of those neighborhoods, just like in NY if I remember correctly.
Why is it the best places are in bad areas?

And then I pitched Internet Exploder and got a real browser. Then I could update.
I know that there was a thread for awhile that some people COULDN'T specify their location. Vanessa can't update at all- which is sad, she really wants to.
I agree that it is easier to figure out how to read someone if you know where they are writing from. But the other site problems should likely be sorted first.
by tig2
I just got tired of dead threads coming back to life and waking the trolls that started them. I figured I would try this.
So far it has been pretty entertaining. There are some great people in TR world and I enjoy the lighter conversation.
Now if we could just get rid of "Max level reached" life would be complete!

They just live to be a winger look at GG complaining that it's 98 F when it's really cool and then in the middle of winter she'll be complaining [i]Quite Rightly I might Add[/i] how cold it is and just how dangerous it is to drive on the roads. Then in the same breath will complain about all the salt spread on the road that causes the cars to rust and if it isn't spread the roads are unsafe. [b]It's a No Win Situation attempting to keep a Pom happy![/b]
Over here all the really radical Union Bosses are Poms who have never realised that it's no longer a [b]Them & Us Situation[/b] well at least it wasn't till recently with some new laws passed here which have taken us back to the good old days of the 1830's where an employer can transport a worker for using to much toilet paper. I'm just unsure where they can transport them to though but I'm sure [b]Little Johny Rotten[/b] is working on that while he brings in all the foreign workers for cheap labour to allow the upper management even bigger Bonuses than the already Obscene ones that they are giving themselves now. Things like that need to be stopped but with the current Government here they will not only be allowed to continue but be encouraged while at the same time using every effort to lower those terrible wages that cost so much money.
I heard it suggested that someone walk in and give our Current Prime Minister the [b]Pink Slip[/b] but it was pointed out that this couldn't happen because the [b]LAZY BASTARD Doesn't do any Work.[/b] To unfairly fire someone first they have to work so that means that all the bureaucrats will have life time jobs and the real workers who slave their guts out to pay their wages will be trampled underfoot.
Anyway I'm way off topic again the Poms basically Bitch about everything no matter what. They Bitch about the Queen spending so much money when she is the richest person in the UK and they would Bitch even more if she actually had the audacity to sell off some of the assets which she has to upkeep for nothing more than show.
[b]Can you imagine the uproar if she sold off Buck House?[/b]
Then they don't want her anymore and a few weeks latter they are complaining that as she is now 80 years old she can not be there for much longer. Personally I would like to see her get really Pissed Off with some Fleet Street Rag Pushers and have them locked up in the [b]Tower of London[/b] just as an example of what is acceptable to her. :^0
A couple of Jurno's and Editors strung up by their thumbs or inserted in an [b]Iron Maiden[/b] appeals to me but maybe I'm just weird. :D
Col ]:)
[i]OH I forgot he [b]WT and a WP[/b] are the words of the chorus of [b]Willy The Winging Pom.[/b] that was a song made famous over a while ago in the mid to late 50's.
The Chorus when along these lines [b]With a WT & a WP I'm Willy The Winging Pom, Lon-Doon where's I'm from when I landed in the docks in Mel-born I was greeted by Go Home You Pommie Bastard[/b] Now if only I could find a copy in any form that would make me [b]Really Happy.[/i][/b] :^0

Anyway that's how you catch Hong Kong Dong Disease; It swells up like a cucumber. If it turns green, the colour of cucumbers, don't worry, it will fall off, all by itself, in a week.
If the swelling goes away but there is still pain,then he may be suffering from another Oriental disease: Lacanookie but if he is patient this too, will pass.
In either case, all I can say is [b]"OUCH"

Ya know, this could never happen to a pure person! It would be safely tucked away.
by mr_rc
... this happened to..
I was at a party hanging out with some friends, and my mate dashed off for a 'quickie' with his girlfriend...
2 minutes later there was this bloodcurdling scream and I busted in to find out what was going on because he hadnt stopped screaming...
His girlfriend was on the bed crying and screaming "whats wrong whats wrong" .. I knelt next to him and lifted his head... he was balling his eyes out, curled in a fetal position.
When he was finally able to speak, I couldnt help him... I cracked up laughing and called him an ambulance... he said to me..
"She broke my wookie!"

As TR does not enable the possibility of specifying the location TR-users are unless it is US of A or Canada, this will not be possible. Although I am willing to let you know where I am located by means of my profile I will give it to you by means of this post.
Working location: Amsterdam, NL, Eu
Living location : Haarlem, NL, Eu

You bloody well should have asked before offering your BUTT to kiss if not doing so. And as I'm not lightly wanting to be accused of being a butt-lover, there you have it. ]:)
BTW Newcastle, can as well be in Northumberland as it can be in NWS, NWSW-Aus, US of A or Canada :) or where-ever else the good people of Newcastle, England, in the early day's of conquering the world for King/Queen, Home-land and God went to honor their nice home-town.

We all know you're a pervert but not quite in that way. Whatever you do, don't drop the soap in the shower; you can never tell, with these European guys. They may be perfectly normal but you should still take precautions. What's "normal" to them can be a trifle weird to North Americans.

Tennis? Not this one!
I DID finally get to watch ONE cup game though, so being sick was good for something. France v Brazil. Wow, Brazil was a group of thugs! A rough game it was, and off course that was in the prime of TR locking me out so I couldn't even post in my "updates" discussion. :(
I think by that time I had taken Tigs recommendation and tried some scotch to heal me, and it did seem to be working for the intense body ache I had been dealing with! :D
Being sick gave me a chance for the first time in over 8 months to just sit in front of the tube, and I now realize why I stopped watching it! There isn't CRAP on!

Twice a month to support a client. As long as I timed Chicago right and it wasn't "Construction Season", it only took me about 6 hours. I can be in Wisconsin in about 40 minutes if the GPS doesn't try to take me through a construction zone.
We hunt in a tiny little map spot north of Duluth. About two hours from here.

glad you are feeling better. TT says scotch, but a little homemade chicken soup is really good too. Something about homemade makes it helpout. Even if you are not hungry a little bit will start to bring your appetite back.
Sleep is probably the best thing for getting better right now. Just take care and be well soon.
by hal 9000
There is only one true cure Vodka applied IV if you're not feeling all that well and a bit weak in the stomach. B-)
If you organise about a bottle of Over Proof per hour it might not immediately cure you but by the third or fourth bottle you will not care and you'll be applying so much disinfectant to drive those germs and viruses away in droves. The only true cure is lots of high content Alcohol it's one of the best disinfectants and preservers available. ?:|
The [b]Home Made Chicken Soup[/b] is only for when you're felling much better and need someone to dout over you. If they are attractive it also allows you to chase them round and catch them but only after you are really feeling much better. After about two crates of Vodka you'll be fit enough for the chicken soup but just make sure that you don't drive for at least a month after the IV has been removed and all the bottles wrung out to get every last drop. :D
This is the only know treatment for any disease that doesn't allow the bugs to mutate and become resistant to the treatment as the bugs get so bombed out of their tiny little skulls that the few that do escape end up lying on the floor looking at the ceiling spinning until they die off. :)

when Def Leppard was so cool! LOVED the High 'n Dry Album.
Journey, wow that one goes back. Aren't they in the same age bracket as the washedup Stones? (I mean ROLLING Stones of course) :0
The last time I was Crue, they had a porno playing between the bands. strange stuff. Softcore stuff, that ended up with a guy taking a sword and cutting everyone elses heads off.....
I am looking for the G3 and B3 tours! THAT would be something to see.
I am shocked and stunned with bands like Aerosmith. Have you seen the ticket prices these washedup has-beens have been charging? I think maybe THEY stopped using mirrors, but their fan base sure hasn't!
Enjoy the show!
by jamesrl
Talk about taking me back....
I saw Journey in the 70s when they had one hit, and they opened for a big concert in Toronto (in order: Journey, Pablo Cruise, Steve Miller Band, Beach Boys).
Pablo Cruise became a trivia question. Journey went on to sell a few albums, Steve Miller never broke out of the seventies, and the Beach Boys were so drunk.....

I have tickets to go to the Def Leppard - Journey concert here in Dallas. I am a big Def Leppard nut. I have seen the Leps live many times and know that they are GREAT in concert but have never seen Journey.
Oh, if this was 1983 and I was 18 again... Def Leppard and Journey...an 80's dream for me.

There's no end of hobbies, interests and the weird and odd in my corner! Where would I start? And disorders galore and mindless ranting...well, you've seen some of it already. I've got a lot of pet peeves: celebrities endorsing candidates (like THEY know); people who throw their trash out of their car windows onto my streets (well it's as much mine as theirs, isn't it?); drivers who have three lanes of empty road to pull into our of a driveway...but they insist on pulling in front of the only car on the road (usually me); etc. etc. etc.
And I stay very, very busy in my community with more projects than I can usually keep up with at a time. I'm involved in a few projects at my church and tonight I am making lunch for tomorrow for the folks doing a Habitat for Humanity project (building a house) nearby (wish they would build me one); and so on. But I would just love to get my hands on a fishing pole or a .22 or bow. That sounds like too much fun. I spend entirely too much time indoors these days and it's really beginning to show! :0
by vanessaj
by jdclyde
Repeat after me, "It is all about me, it is all about me!".
Every now and then, you should look to yourself first. It is healthy and normal!
You need to pick a weekend, unplug, and tell everyone your going fishing, see them in a few daze. You would be amazed at just how much the world will continue to turn even if you are not at that project once in a while!
Tell your other half that it is time to get away for a few days!
They got a big sale on bows and gear at Jays this weekend! My problem is Thing One is too big for the youth bow, but too small for most adult bows! GRRRRRR! (unless you drop $400 on one) They are suppose to have a good deal on something that can scale back. The other problem is he is left eye domanate, so he has to shoot left handed. Makes setting him up that much harder, and makes it so they can't share most of the stuff. Drat!
Got a killer deal on a youth bow for Thing two in a rummage sale, so he is set for probably two years!
I think next year I will get a compound for myself. I still like my recurve! :D
by vanessaj
I may just do that...one day.
Thing is, there are so many things to enjoy on this earth, while we're here! It's hard to pick. Yeah, I do usually like to do the stuff that makes a difference all around, but sometimes I do forget that little 1 or 2 day "refresher" that puts the spark back. I know you're right. I'll work on it. My sister just left this morning from a 4-day visit - most of which we spent in Manhattan painting the town. I feel like I need a vacation after that! It was great fun (we saw Shining City with Oliver Platt and met him afterward, did a museum, did the Guggenheim, etc. etc. etc.) but...whew!
I'm ready for a nap. And she's my older sister! How can that happen?!? It's true sometimes, life just doesn't make sense.
As for "bowing" I don't know of anywhere to really go if I got one, but it's worth looking into. Do you get to go hunting often? How many deer do you get a year (not counting the spikes on the front of your vehicle)?
by jdclyde
Been shooting for ages, but I only went rifle hunting because I couldn't bare to be gone from my boys that much of the year. This year they are old enough to hunt AND the ex is not there to stand in the way of them going, so we will be doing the bow and rifle.
I see deer, but am very picky and end up letting them walk away hoping something bigger will come along. (story of my life...)
It is something that has the boys captivated, it gets them off the xbox, and it is something the ex can't give them. All good reasons to do this.
so the big things right now for them are bow/rifle hunting, fishing, their skateboards, and the guitars. Trying to encourage them all, and again, the ex doesn't do any of this, leaving her nothing in common with the boys until dinner time. They can eat and then sit around and watch whatever she wants for the rest of the night. what fun.
by tig2
Find a bunch of lakes.
Or just visit me.
We have land that we hunt and a dozen other friends that we can tramp. FUN!
I disagree with JD on this one- shooting with a gun is more fun. I like bow hunting but don't have the strength. 12 guage works just fine!

I suspect you are mixing me up with Jd; he's into .......... well let's just say he likes show tunes.
Any interests I have in butts are definitely in those of the feminine persuasion but that is coupled with my being a leg fancier. I especially enjoy a lovely set of legs starting at the floor and going all the way up until they get cheeky or make a perfect ass of themselves. That satisfy your curiosity??? I won't deny being on a single track but you now know which way my track runs.
Neither fat asses nor skinny and scrawny ones need [b][i]not[/i][/b] apply and if I weren't currently off the market, I would be doing more than just looking.
BTW I thought I knew the state of New York pretty well. Where in hell is Jericho??? I have a house up near the US/Canada border and I've driven one end of the state to the other and have never heard of, much less passed through, Jericho. Just curious.

Triple D's? D-cup? TaTa's? Fun Bags? Jugs? Bazombas? [i] (I just KNOW GG is cringing when she read your post asking this!)[/i] ]:)
To go with your self description?
Everyone knows that people with that low of an IQ (3) is because all the nutrients went to growing huge breasts instead of brains! :0
Any yes, by the time you added the giggle a lot and the low IQ, I knew you were joking, so I put the icing on the cake! ]:) Of course, you should have added you have a tendency to go "teehee!" a lot too! ;\
As for Dawg, it is hard to tell when people are joking or being serious in writing, because of the loss of tone and facial expressions. I can see where it would easily be taking the wrong way.
As for being to HARD ON him, (DE intended) he is a big boy, with a pretty thick skin. I don't think your posts did much more than to make him scratch his furry head and wonder what is going on. If he was offended, believe me, you would know it. :D

I have lots of ribbons, but this one is my favourite!
by vanessaj
ribbon that I could use? Maybe I can't update my profile because I'm not using the right URL or something - although I have tried everything known to man as far as I can tell.
If you could send me a URL that has a nice ribbon, too, I can try that one on my profile and see if maybe it's not just something that I'm not getting right. Let me know here or you can peermail me - you have the address.
Thanks, TiggerTwo! Toodooleedoo!

After reading so many of his posts (and enjoying most of them), I could see that he had a good sense of humor and hoped he would take to a little playful banter - but re-reading my post, it did sound really harsh, which is just not me. Like Leno asked Hugh Grant: What was I thinking? Sorry SD, if I offended. Maybe someone on here has been a bad influence? ;\ I'm pretty straight-laced usually. That's it! I'll blame you! Hahahahahaha!
Anyway, thanks for clearing up the D's for me. I suppose if I could learn to think like a guy, I wouldn't get myself into these things...(but what a price to pay!) :d Thanks for "getting" my sarcasm. And thanks for realizing that I was kidding when I mentioned an IQ of 3. And thanks for the encouragement to take a few days in nature...I'm working on an evil scheme to get a few days out like that. You're tops.
