last night my sister and i were sitting in the den and i said to her, i never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle to keep me alive. that would be no quality of life at all. if that ever happens, just pull the plug.
SO SHE GOT UP, UNPLUGGED THE COMPUTER, AND THREW OUT MY WINE. SHE'S A *****....

a duded-up city rider walks into a seedy tavern in sturgis, SD. he sits at the bar, and notices a grizzled old biker with his arms folded, staring blankly at a full bowl of chili. after fiftenn minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the newby rider bravely asks the old biker, if you ain't gonna eat that, mind if i do? and the old veteran of a thousand rides slowly turns his head toward the young pup and says, nah, you go ahead. eagerly, the guy wearing the shiny new leather fashings reaches over and slides the bowl into his place, and starts spooning it in with delight. he gets nearly down to the bottom of the bowl and notices a dead mouse in the chili. the sight was very shocking and he immediately barfed up the chili back into the bowl. the old biker quietly says, YEP, that is as far as i got too.

then, today and this is a real story about a dog that almost got hit. i was walking over by my house when i spied a dog that was in the highway, and it almost got hit 3x. it ran into a yard belonging to a large house, so i went up to the door, and knocked. there was someone in there, and they would not come out. so i left, then looked back, and sure enough someone was on the porch looking to see what i was after.....so i hiked back, and she slammed the door. i yelled your dog almost got hit, and she yelled in a strange accent, u see the no trespassing sign? i said but your dog, she yelled no we have big dog....i yelled i am no bag woman and stomped off...u c i was in my dog clothes...and burglar hat, and she living in the rich end of town thought i had come to steal something off her porch, when all i wanted to do was save a dog. so when u r going to be a good samaritan, be sure to dress up. leave ur burglar hat at home.

such a *****

Again proof positive that people suck. They really do. Some suck so hard they swallow. Some suck so hard they suck seed.

Have you ever heard the joke that you can suck on a cucumber but never Suck seed.

Some people prove they can!

Yeah, I did something similar recently. We (daughter and I) were returning from the city to our small town home when we came upon a Chevy Blazer that obviously had some electrical issues.

We passed the vehicle on the hwy. and tried to signal to the middle aged woman driving that her brake lights/tail lights were not functioning. Since the sun had already set, this was a dangerous situation for her and we didn't want to see her in jeopardy. She hit the brakes and slowed waaaayyyy down...then it dawned on me that she was probably afraid of us.

When we reached the intersection where we were to turn off, I exited the car to show her that I was just a tiny woman with no intent on harming her. I stood within the radius of her vehicles headlights attempting to show her that I had no weapons, and tried using hand gestures to get my message across. This failed miserably.

She threw her truck into reverse and backed away from me as I walked towards her. I didn't want to further alarm the woman so I returned to the car with a new plan. My daughter had some supplies from a school art project in her car and I used them to make a sign which I held up for the woman to read. It said, "Tail lights out, see mechanic asap!!!"

I am not sure the woman even had time to read it as she threw the truck back into drive and squealed her tires, spitting dirt, snow, etc. all over me as she flew past us.

Once we got home, we notified the Sheriff's Dept. and a week later saw that the woman we had tried to help had been given a citation. I was grateful she wasn't injured nor anyone else for that matter but, it really got under my skin that people fear each other SO much they put themselves/others in jeopardy nowadays. Grrr!

nice one. thanks for the frankness of this sweet write

uh, thank you maam is what I really meant

well i checked today, and there was no dead dog on the road. it could have been an escapee, it could have been lost, it could have been alot of things.
it could have been hers, the woman with the strange accent...who denied me by saying she had a big dog...

the point is the days of being a good samaritan are over, and lord help you if something happens after you help where they can sue you...

and when u try to save a dog remember this, a dog in peril....if it perceives you are going to harm it will bite. and never run out in the street to save a dog, which is what i almost did....and i could have been run over, but u c i do dog advocacy work, and it never occurred to me to not do a foolish thing. however, the dog had other ideas, and he tucked his tail under his legs, and took off. a lesson well learned.
