    I hope people are watching the news feeds during this coronavirus crap. With nothing else going on besides this covidian nightmare, the press sensationalizes everything, weaves racism, slants even the most obvious 1+1=2 story into 1+1=a sexual 69 sum. What a bunch of dirtbags who are trying to make a bunch of money by creating drama when none exists.

    Not really a rant.. Just frustration. We have one more elderly pet left. Our 16 yr old cat. She started limping so I checked her out. Being old she no longer wears down her nails. Two of her front nails had grown into the toe.. Not a little but way into them . God bless her she purred the entire time and only attempted a half hearted bite once. What a bloody mess that was. It must have hurt like hell poor old gal

    What like 10 years ago!? I'm 45 and somewhat levelheaded. I was even fairly calm talking to a guy that cut a fence to install a gate into my property like I wasn't going to notice, let alone the fourwheeler path to end all paths through a field. I suspect the nephew of the fella took it upon himself to go about mowing. I wouldn't be pissed if he had put in a gate and kept a two or three swath cut along the fence line for a fire break, kudos in fact. But holy hell. I'm running out tomorrow and I'll take some pics. I will admit when I first saw it I was looking at it through a deep red hue. And the sob's hit one of my morel honey holes, so that's damn near pistols at dawn type ****.

    We have a 17 year old cat. He was an outside cat until last fall when either a dog or coyote got a hold of him and chewed him up pretty good. He now is living in the house all healed up and will stay a house cat. He is a big pain in the arse and follows/stalks me all over the house. Usually the pets bond big time with the wife. Not him. He is either following me or sitting on my lap. He loves vanilla ice cream. Last weekend I was having some so I give him a pea size pinch of it. He got greedy and grabbed the whole wad instead of licking it off my finger like he usually does. He got brain freeze. The whole mouth going wide open, him stiffening up and a big exhale of air. The wife and I laughed our butts off. once he got over it, he was like give me MORE !! Crazy cat !!

    My son lives in St. Paul and is cooped up during the crisis. He would often go to a local park and shoot hoops, alone no pick up games. Well yesterday he went to the park and the city has removed all the hoops from the back boards. WTH?

    Some very evil punishments come to mind to retaliate against such an atrocity. This is a capital offense for sure.

    Dana White wants to bring the UFC to an indian reservation in California. Does he not see the issue with bringing a disease with no cure to native Americans land. Let me guess he plans on giving away UFC T shirts as gifts on the reservation.

    "Tone deaf". If I hear that stupid phrase again I'm gonna jump off a bridge.

    Johnny's comments appear to be tone deaf ......

    President blah blah comments are tone deaf.
