I didn't want to PO anyone with that thread, and right after I posted it I saw this one started and had kind of a sinking feeling. I was grateful that it wasn't deleted. My health is pretty rotten, and "I don't get out much", so a lot of my human contact is via FR, so this is where I turned with that request. I know it sounded trite to people who don't own pets, but I think that most people who do know what they mean to us.

No, it didn't. It struck a chord with me, as well as many other people. FReepers have other interests besides politics, and are compassionate folks. I really don't see the problem (but I'm sure a helpful FRee citizen will enlighten me), but JR (whose server space we munch up with every post) doesn't want trivial posts. I can respect that, but it's pretty danged difficult to pass up a thread that I am interested in, or have some knowledge about (and there're too few of those, some would say) that have absolutely nothing to do with politics.

The FreeRepublic is the best forum on the 'net. JimRob, when my revenue gets back in line, I'll send money. 'Til then, I hope Jessie the cat is chomping up lots o' Kibbles N' Bits. Meow. Oops! I meant, "Ciao!"
