ًWhere are you Hodie? - Page 10

Maggie,

I honestly never thought I would hear you say those words. I hope you are sincere. Deal it is done Tarek. Thank you sir.

To the forum I am sorry for my behavior as I am a hard driving person and sometimes I find it hard to let go. Especially when a friend is hurt.

Maggie and forum I am sorry.

Now lets move forward. Will you invite me to your 4th of July shindig? LOL

Peace out.

SP

 

MaggieMae, would you do us the honor of starting the party thread, please?

I come around maybe once or twice a month to see if there's anything new going on.. Occasionally a really interesting post and something to be learned, but too much nastiness..It's overall like a bile buffet, regurged over and over.

I never knew you to be the forgiving type, SP. Quick..find that link on PetAbuse.com and post it, again! I'm sure you will...

It's too bad if Hodie is having personal health and / or financial problems. But, this is life..cycles.. seasons of joy and seasons of sorrow. I've been through my share of it...not that anyone would care, and I know and accept that. Hodie and all of us are all cut from the same mortal, fragile and fallible cloth. We all are subject to things beyond our control.. like this sucky economy. It can't be any easier to run a rescue than it is to be a breeder, especially as you start to get older. It's hard work that just gets harder..

I'll just offer one observation, here, and I think it is right on point.. We tear at our own health and longevity and happiness with every negative thought and emotion we harbor and spew out into the universe. There was an anti-BSL lady on a lot of lists..VERY outspoken and passionate!  I mean.. This was like her own personal "Mission from God". She was really a hard worker, but getting over the top with it. I finally wrote her a personal email and told her she should tone it down,because it would come to no good. Sure enough, she got into some hot water and had to back down on one of her ad hominem attacks on a Canadian politician (They have no such First Ammendment protections as we have in the US for this sort of thing). Within a year (approx)  her husband died of a heart attack. Not long after that, she was diagnosed with cancer. I don't know the particulars, but it must have been serious. NO ONE that I know has even talked about her or mentioned her name for a long time. Her emails bounce. She has basically vaporized into thin air.

Ever heard the old fable about the scorpion that stings itself to death? There's something to that. The link between stress and immunosuppression, also autoimmune disorders has been documented in hundreds of medical studies. Recently, researchers have come to understand that "cholechetamines", produced by the body under stress (which can be self induced), are the causative factor. Angry thoughts and rhetoric are bad medicine. It can be invigorating and addictive, but it has NEVER been linked to good health and wellbeing.

Bracing myself for the tongue lashing.. I don't know why I bother.

Please go away.

Maybe this is why you don't bother?

Hodie is awesome, she has been very helpful to me more than once, knows her stuff, has her heart in the right place, and has been driven off like so many just like her.

She also is not a convicted animal abuser go away DDR. We just get something accomplished and here you are.

Go away.

I'm not looking for any response or opinion to this, by the way, and don't plan to follow up on this thread.
If anyone wonders where I got off to, I've been busy attending to my own concerns. I finished a deck and put in a small garden while some of you were doing whatever on this list.  I don't know where some people get the time to hang on this forum as they do. I personally spent a few YEARS of my life hanging on some email lists and finally realized that I was wasting my life and opportunities, typing on a keyboard, and for what? If it's something educational or really interesting, then that's worth reading.. The rest of the idle chatter and vitriol is puzzling. Why?

To bad you did not kill over dead.

Good-bye good riddance.
