People pick up their dog's sh*t these days...

[JOE]

Well, $20, I don't know what 'progressive' means anymore.



During the reign of George W. Bush and Prime Minister Stephen Harper, my beliefs stood still & I was considered by many to be a radical liberal socialist.



But when Obama comes to power, suddenly, I'm out of date and considered right wing conservative bordering on reactionary. I've merely evolved rather than done a radical shift. But that's not good enough for the ruling elite. They want us all to change in lock step, throw away our previous beliefs, like overnight, be one of them.



Anyways, I didn't invent the term 'LGBTQ'. It was coined by one of their own in their movement. I believe it used to be called just 'LGB' and then somebody else wanted 'in'. And that's why they added the 'TQ' to the end of it. So...if I mention a term that this group invented, and refer to themselves as, is that derogatory? I'm not against them existing, voting, to be free from discrimination. But I do wish they'd form their own separate marital institutions, tv stations, whatever.



I consider myself small l 'liberal' - a 70s kind of liberal - before all that politically correct chit took over and drove many of us to become NeoCons or underground. That freedom of speech we used to have a la National Lampoon style is gone - verbotten. Even its former editor went from being a liberal democrat to aa conservative Republican.

Joe wouldn't know the difference between cat shit and dog shit if a fresh turd slapped him upside the face.



He is an expert at bull shit, though; I'll give him that.

Heya Blurt! Howz going?

Did you go the Toronto Gay Pride Parade?

I hope ya met up with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

He was there and so was Gay Boy Bob.



Anyways, I was gonna ask you, which one of the letters in the 'LGBTQ' alphabet are you? The 'L', the 'G', the 'B', the 'T' or the 'Q'? Or are you all of them?



Hope ya kin attend that Pride Love Fest in Vancouver.



From what I've seen, they've got 'gender inclusive' washroom stalls for the 'T' crowd, ifya know what I mean, eh Blurt?

Wow Joe. I'm a little surprised. Thought you were more progressive. True colors.

I always end up coming into these great convos at the wrong time.... when my kids were small and it snowed, I took them outside to play in the snow. Only once I had gotten them inside that I noticed she had shit covered up her entire backside. She had made a snow angel and under the snow was dog shit  

[Blurt]

Well, Frank Zappa warned us years ago, Annie, not to eat the yellow snow.



To that I would add: "Don't make snow angels near the dog park."  

[Annie]

lol Blurt... oh that reminds me. When I was a kid I found some yellow snow, my older brother told me it was lemon snow and convinced me to eat it....

We have dog shit season.  People think because their dogs shit in the snow they don't have to get it.  Once the snow melts, shit everywhere.

My daughter is doing a really convincing job of encouraging us to adopt a dog.  She's been doing dog walking,grooming, training and does really well at it so I'm not too worried.  We are hashing out the details and so far it will be a small to medium dog from a rescue or SPCA.  She has no problem with picking up poo and neither do I as we have cats and clean out litter boxes twice a day. We have a nice little yard and lots of parks with trails nearby.   She's planning on having the pup sleep and cuddle with her at night.

[Blurt]

Don't know where you "twice-a-day" cat-litter-changers come from, Annie, but I've yet to meet any on my planet.  ac_biggrin

[Annie]

Haha, I like a clean house  ac_smile

[Hell on Wheels]

My daughter stepped in shit and didn't notice then proceeded to get into the car and tucked her foot under herself on the seat.



Shit was lost that day and not the pile my daughter stepped in either.

Did you rub your daughters nose in the shit, just so she understands not to ever do that again?

I sift thru the upstairs box, and downstairs box twice a day. Big deal. I want my boy to have a clean litter box. Bet you like a clean tidy bathroom?

Another groovy thing about snow.

We don't have that problem on the West Coast since it only snows a couple of days to a few weeks in the year. But it rains a lot in the winter, which washes much of it away. Nevertheless, I always watch where I step whether it be a sidewalk or dirt trail to make sure I don't step in it. I always look down at the ground around my feet when I go for a walk.

Why don't you take a few bags with you? Help out the neighborhood. Especially if you're looking for it anyway.

This is precisely the reason I do not want to get a dog. I will not be going out in my yard with a shovel. Having said that I got attached to the rabbit my parents bought me when I was single. I love the cat Mommy brought home. If I was given a puppy, I would probably love it too. Motherhood and age are making me as soft and weak as a fucking white person.
