I've read a lot of dumb things on TD from time to time but this is about the dumbest idea yet. If you want to commit suicide just do it and have it over with without taking some innocent party along with you. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Nope Mingo, I won't be 90 for another 15 months. I will be starting my 90th year in 3 months.
I have to admit though that I enjoy the hell out of tiger droppings.

Marriage is a wonderful institution for those who feel the need to be institutionalized.
I was there for 7 years while she was everywhere else with somebody else.
I divorced her finally and kept the kids, the house and the car.
Was lonesome as hell until I met the right gal. We've been happily married over 61 years now. It isn't so bad to be institutionalized after all.

It was the outdoor board brought this old geezer to infest tiger droppings as well.
Merry Christmas everyone.

We are OLD and old-fashioned and live near a small rural community. We pay all of our bills by check and the late notices have been getting more frequent even when the checks were mailed promptly. It has come to the point that the slow delivery by USPS is affecting our credit rating.
Something mailed from 25 miles away used to arrive the next day but now with the "improved service" that envelope first travels 52 miles down the road to a town 38 miles away from us, the next improved act is to transfer it by truck114 miles to a sorting hub where it is sent to a distribution center from which it is eventually re-sorted and ultimately routed by multi-stopped truck to our local post office. Travel time? Five to 7 days seems to be the minimum.

I accidentally caught a huge Dalmatian or Dalmatian-Dane cross in a coyote snare set in a fence crawl-under gap. The only collar he had on was the one that ended his life. He was so mangy that most of his body was one big scab and it hardly had enough hair to determine his color. I wouldn't touch him and used snares to grip his feet to drag him into the pickup box.
Strange thing, there had been reports in the community of some strange large dog wandering the town and adjacent rural areas at night. It was never reported to have been seen, but the tracks were seen everywhere after a snowfall including on our own front porch and that of my mother's house. That all ended when he did.

Freshwater Drum is a delicious fish if promptly bled and iced immediately. If they are dead on a stringer or in a fish basket, their flesh will soften and lose texture and taste quite quickly.
Their skeletons have very widely spaced bones with firm white flesh that tastes great when pan fried or baked. They are excellent smoked on the half shell too. Don't listen to the old fishermen's tales from those who failed to remove the bloodline flesh and otherwise properly care for their catch. :rolleyes:

Noble Outdoors Owner Sentenced for Conspiracy to Violate the Lacey Act Involving 114 Illegal Hunts LINK

Interesting observation. Please explain why, in spite of the enormous size and population of Russia, Putin has has had to hire mercenaries from all available sources to fight his battles for him. Those North Koreans and "Volunteers" from African nations stick out like sore thumbs.
