No, we had them all checked over by a Vet before releasing them back onto the property from whence they came.

As for killing animals, I can't say I haven't derived pleasure from it. I have. Especially when it has been a challenge to make the kill. I have had some extremely satisfying hunts, have taken shots that would have been hard if not impossible for someone other than expert marksmen, and even then my shots relied on speed and correctly estimating the fall of the shot at extreme ranges for the firearm in use. So some experts may have been challenged to make the shot themselves anyway.

Keep in mind, I had the fat man hoisted over the rail into the path of an oncoming train without much of a second thought though..

i am sort of thinking that I shouldn't have made a joke about your pipe now.

I wasn't offended by your commments on hunting, though it may have sounded that way.

Oh for goodness sakes! A travel cup? Are you serious! One must drink from a tea cup, even mugs are tacky. I've even got a tea cup at work!

[EDIT]
Vintage French coffee bowls are also allowed...As are German coffee cups (little tiny tea cups) and also Japanese Saki bowls...

No.

But a travel cup would be far safer whilst partaking of tea during bedtime relations with ones spouse. One would hate to have an accident you know...

granted, but a cup without a lid would spill everywhere with all the bouncing around, I am stopping now.

Stoned on Eucalyptus leaves does that to you... Oh to be a Koala and to be high every day, in every sense of the word...

Rabbits want to be loved too. I used to like laying 'Blackie' on her back and rubbing her tummy, she'd go to sleep...
Ed, there's a photo of Blackie on that wall in my bedroom you were talking about the other say; with the spoon....
She had buckets of babies; she used to grow a whole lot of fluffy hair on her chest before she had the babies, and then she'd pluck it out to make a nest. I remember when I was about 12 seeing this fluff sticking out of her mouth, and pulling on this thread of fluff and having this big ball of slightly moist rabbit fur come out. I got what was happening straight way and was astonished and awed. I loved nature back then, I still do really but it's tarnished, or maybe just patinated?
