(As you know...been having a hard time with any meat after watching that movie! Even commercials. And shows like Deadliest Catch.)<br /><br />I really don't know what they can do to me, if anything, with the oral surgeon's bill. It is supposed to be illegal for them to touch my check? I rent and don't really own anything of value? Apparently making regular payments doesn't count any more. It used to count for something. Not any more, I guess. :(Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-81233173648585318952010-07-26T19:55:38.013-05:002010-07-26T19:55:38.013-05:00Personally, I hate the thought of people hunting a...Personally, I hate the thought of people hunting and killing wild animals and birds whether for food or sport. In this day and age, we don't need to hunt to survive as meat is readily available in a supermarket.<br /><br />I also hate that they hunt kangaroo in parts of Australia....it's our national emblem!<br /><br />Rita, I am so, so sorry that you will now have collection agencies after you. Surely, if it went to court, a judge could not rule against you being that you are on a disability pension???!!! Not to mention the fact that you have been paying at least some money each month...surely that counts for something?Serena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-11506392201341113922010-07-24T20:53:04.141-05:002010-07-24T20:53:04.141-05:00I looked it up on google, too.

Not very organized.<br /><br />I looked them up on google images and they are the ones with the red heads that I thought they were. Big brown birds with red crowns on their heads--very nice looking. Saw piles of dead ones people were showing off, too. Not sure why they are allowing any of the migratory birds that might go thru the gulf to be game birds right now. Not for a while--until we see what will happen with the population, you know? Time will tell. Humans don't think ahead too much, as we know. <br /><br />You are the king of online research, my friend! ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-34845423748887311772010-07-24T08:26:53.580-05:002010-07-24T08:26:53.580-05:00I looked it up - people do eat Sandhills.

Apparently they are considered a game animal and it would be illegal to do anything with them after killing except to eat all edible parts.<br /><br />From what I can tell, people BBQ them like chicken and claim they taste quite good.<br /><br />They are legal to hunt in many states along their migratory flyway. Since it is state-by-state, Florida apparently hadn't made it legal "yet". I guess they want the money from hunting licenses more than they want the birds.Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-20646083380173087202010-07-24T01:48:31.590-05:002010-07-24T01:48:31.590-05:00Iggy--We were wondering if they ate them, too? Th...Iggy--We were wondering if they ate them, too? They do have bodies as big or bigger than turkeys, so I suppose they could. ?? I think it is against the law to kill the wild turkeys, but I'm not positive. I wonder if they go south before Thanksgiving?--hehe!<br /><br />Tori--Yes! That is what has happened to me--and happens fairly regularly, as you know. I can't sleep for a few days and then I am sleeping extra long...next thing I know I am up with the vampires--ROFL!<br /><br />I am curious as to whether people will actually eat the cranes? And you'd think they would be very concerned now with the birds who migrate due to the oil spill in the gulf?? I should try to google it. :)<br /><br />Lynn--Yes--they are the tall long-legged birds. Cranes are really quite beautiful and elegant to watch. <br /><br />Hope you have a really nice weekend, too! :):)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-72518726058016634812010-07-24T01:40:15.120-05:002010-07-24T01:40:15.120-05:00AliceKay--Isn't that just so frustrating!

But--this crack was new (I heard it crack! gross!) and something they sure could find--hehe!<br /><br />Sadly, I have been totally flipped with my days and nights, so I haven't made any phone calls. Hopefully next week. I have no clue as to what a collection agency thinks they can do since they can't take money from my SS check? Maybe they plan on taking away stuff I own and selling it? Who knows? It all just makes me so tired. Thank goodness Karma isn't worth anything, eh? hehe!<br /><br />My folks sure do still get around. Driving from Florida to Minnesota every year--galavanting about--hehe! <br /><br />It has been in the 60 during the night here, but back up to hot during the day. I hope you don't have any more storms for a while. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-42552167413033290372010-07-23T08:58:40.352-05:002010-07-23T08:58:40.352-05:00Not sure what a sandhill crane is unless it is one...Not sure what a sandhill crane is unless it is one of those really tall long legged birds??

Just when you think you're in a "normal" sleep cycle you either can't sleep, or you sleep longer than normal, and then the sleep cycle is backwards again. *Sigh*<br /><br />I don't get why people hunt things they can't eat. I mean, although I'd rather not be a part of it myself, I do at least understand hunting and killing of things people do eat. But if you're not going to be able to make use of it as food... Why kill it? Enough animals die for food, without them ending up killed for sport too!Torizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04965005679599352165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-6996751042970711882010-07-22T08:15:01.512-05:002010-07-22T08:15:01.512-05:00Ah... so thats what the whopper your dad was telli...Ah... so thats what the whopper your dad was telling Leah... about the sandhill cranes... I don't understand this fixation much of the human race has with hunting and killing things...

(so why does it hurt and feel like there's a hole in it?) My dentist says it might have a crack but he can't do anything with it until it completely breaks. :\ <br /><br />Sorry to hear Merit Care has turned your account over to a collection agency. Makes no sense when you've been making regular payments. The school loans sound impossible. I hope your phone calls go well.<br /><br />Thanks for telling us about your folks. Your dad looks like he does very well for someone who is 90 years old (young). Your mom is a nice looking 81-year old (young) too. :) <br /><br />Those are some nice "decorations" for Karma's mouse toy. She looks like she doesn't care in this pic. LOL<br /><br />Have a really, really nice Thursday yourself. We have temps in the mid 60s at the moment, but it's nice clean air, and it feels good coming thru the windows. Supposed to get to 90 here today, but no storms on the horizon.AliceKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027650364526343030noreply@blogger.com
