Friends, my beloved dog, Barkley, is up against the fight of his life. He was recently diagnosed with cancer, but neither he nor I are giving up without a fight. The vet says that if successful, surgery could add three years to his life. Without surgery, he's got less than a year. As I'm already $2,000 in the hole for previous vet bills, I'm asking,...

We'd better be talking the full syrup kind and not lite, mister.

Hey, Solus. Hope the heart is on the mend and things are going well. Just wanted to leave something here since it has been a while.

Ew, pretty weird about your CEO. My views are rather divergent regarding the situation but I suppose the end result is one we can both agree on, and that is that he is to face the outcome of his actions.

Bowie is one I loved from pretty early on, although Low is an album I got only in the past year. Can't say I love it yet. I know it's a critics' favorite but I've given it a few spins and I'm sure to give it more over time. I'll join your happy 65 to the man.

Those shots of you and the puppies just made me smile so hard. Thanks for those awesome VU tracks and the rest. You're always so kind, don't think I don't appreciate it. Oh and...

Dean Moriarty! That term can also be used to describe some posters to the Boards here.

It's amazing how many people Neal inspired.

No need to be embarrassed, solus. You can copy the answers off my test. I'm prepared.

Sorry about your friend. I Imagine it's hard to know what to do when someone so dear is hellbent on destruction. Sad.

Indeed. Hopefully the haunting has a purpose?

Yeah, the goings on in my head looks something of like a disaster I imagine. Nothing that a flame thrower and saying "hold mah beer" cannot handle. wink

The Prince gets so mischaracterized as merely a draconian treatise by those who've never really read it. What first surprised me was how brief and simply written it is. Of course a couple of the most oft repeated statements are the one about "men should either be well treated or crushed" or the "Is it better to be loved or feared?" question. Have you gotten to that one yet? Answer..

Best to be both. Not feared so much as to be deemed cruel or hated. Not loved so much as to be seen weak and merely at the favor of good will. But if a person had to choose only one, feared is safer. Heh heh.


Been a while since I read it, but it's a fun one and full of sensible insights for any 16th - 21st century ruler or ruler in waiting. biggrin

I've never read The Prince, though it's been on my "to-read" list for about 100 years. Along with countless other books... heh.

And thank you so much for your lovely comment on my set! xoxox
