A TERRITORY girl is lucky to be alive after she was mauled by a savage dog.

Seven-year-old Meg Croton and her brother Connor, 9, had been feeding their family's dog - an eight-year-old mastiff cross - in their Humpty Doo back yard when the girl was attacked by the vicious hound.

"I tripped on a rock and fell, and I think I kicked his leg," Meg recalled the attack. "And then it hurt very badly and he was on top of me and ripped on my head. "But my brother saved my life."

San Angelo ain't in Iowa. Curious.

I have family in TX. Both in San Angelo and in Longview. So I am an East AND West Texan by blood, not birth. I was born and raised in Iowa on a farm. I have been in all 49 of the "57" states. Hawaii is the last one on my list to get to.

He included me in one of his posts to you. I didn't read it. lol.
People like him, who lack civility and a sense of decency (or any sense), I don't consider to be true patroits or freepers. I don't waste my time with them.

Can’t believe this thing is still going.

Must be Shibumi’s fault.

Once, in a restaurant, while volunteering on a Presidential campaign, during the caucuses, here in Iowa...

That's it; in addition to suspending your debate license, I'm going to have to fine you for violating section three of the 'Stop using commas like a Valley Girl' ordinance.

Also talking about a FReeper without pinging them is chicken $hit but I guess that doesn't bother someone like you.

Yes, that's what the bitter and defeated do.

But hey...the Texans started their season with a BIG WIN, so it's all good.

You sir, rock as well. :)

Were they playing the Katy ISD Middle School Girls volleyball team?

I always thought that would be a vicious match up.

Oh, *always* with the excuses.

What’s next?

Every town near you has a name that begins with “War Torn”[fill in the blank]??

You inconsiderate wench, you.

For shame!

:-P

It was worse a couple of years back.

It was always "The Holy City of:"

Got on my nerves. I guess somebody peed on 'em or something 'cause we don't hear that so much any more.

Actually. I know I have a terrible habit of “trying” to type like I speak. It comes from being an internet junky at too young an age. I just write it out unedited, as if I was speaking, or sometimes, YELLING across the table.

So, a coma, while grammatically, incorrect.... DOES provide the “closest” approximation to... “Rachel Live” as this primitive text format, will allow.

If we are not destroyed by Muslim hordes and if the Lord tarries, some of us may live long enough to “remember” the “old days” when people used to “TYPE” on message boards... while the world around us is using “video chat rooms” on their cell phones.

Hmmmm, this may explain why you failed to comprehend the questions I kept asking...

Funny... I do not recall a lack of addressing any questions. In fact, I have addressed even ludicrous questions from a multitude of posters on this thread.

IIRC, you just did not "like" my answers, took them personally and, responded with sarcasm. Yeah... But, I did answer and I think my answers were profoundly clear.

And, if ya'll hadn't run off a bunch of folks with your aggressive "let's get'em" High School clique mentality, I think the "polling" would be pretty even and perhaps too close to call.

Never the less. If you truly have a remaining point, you truly feel was not addressed....

I'm right here... By ALL means. Be my guest.
