No Mark Levin thread seen tonight
Listening to Mark's show - substitute host (Tom Marr). His beloved Griffin passed away yesterday afternoon.
TY and same to ya.
Hi, Clint! good to see you!
IT’S CRAZY JIM!!!
Jim from Brooklyn: Moron Alert.
Entertainment!
I think the point is not that it is “a” dog but that it is “your” dog. One puts a lot of self into a pet, it provides quiet consolation, cheerful companionship and we project onto our pets a lot. The loss of a pet often represents the end of an era since often a pet is the one constant over a number of years. People may have a dog when their children are small and then the children go off to college and only the dog is left as continuity. In such a case, or similar ones, when the dog dies it is the closing of a door on an era of our lives and it is profound. This even happens with inanimate objects, like when we load the last load on a moving truck and see the house empty, the one we shared dinners and holidays over the years with loved ones, some of them now long gone. Things, people, places, pets, events have meaning beyond themselves in symbolic ways. It is the human experience, or at least I should say, more accurately it is my human experience.

I like Tom Marr. He makes sense, and he’s kinda fun, too.
Tom is one of the few subs I like.
I was praying it wasn’t going to be Mark C. Moan...
Perish the thought!
If I painted all my girls toenails pink...
I would need at least a whole bottle of polish and a few bandages.
One Pug, and one Boston terrier.
Then the boys would lick the stuff off...
One Rat terrier, and one Mutt terrier...
We really are one big happy family and really feel the devastating loss of one of ours.
I love ya, pissant, but sometimes, it is best to SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!
Doing ok...
How ‘bout you?
Right now, he ain’t fit to p*ss in Duncan Hunter’s boot.
You’re wasting your time.
I keep keepin’ on by the grace of God. =)
I am so sorry to hear about Peter.
