<br />I posted an Ad on Kijjiji in the Calgary Area, as &quot;Rescue DESPERATELY Needs Cages&quot; and the responses I&#039;ve been getting are from folks who need to find their pet(s) a new home - aggghhhhhhhhhhhh@!!!!!@!#$$%#^&amp;*##$$##@!
<br />
<br />Talk about breaking my heart! I did mention in the Ad that I am at full capacity which is one of the reasons why I so despertely need cages, however that doesn&#039;t stop folks from asking. People!!!!
<br />
<br />And the worst part is, when I say no, I still wonder what has become of the innocent who depend on the ones they love - their owners - who - can no longer keep them for whatever reason - mostly moving is the &quot;reason&quot; given... and this is the reason why these loving, trusting little souls can no longer stay with the people who they&#039;ve grown to trust and love - yes, I wonder what becomes of them when I can&#039;t take them. Hell, I moved 3,000 miles and brought 4 animals with me, they are family and moving wasn&#039;t enough reason to &quot;get rid of them&quot; - but that&#039;s just me I guess.
<br />
<br />I posted the Ad because, I am desperate for cages! I am at full capacity and there are too many without kennels or as I call it - lodging. 
<br />I&#039;ve built 16 odd cages myself - as temps - until I can get either plastic molded cages or steel and I have one in my living room that&#039;s a good 6&#039; high and 3&#039; deep that I just can&#039;t seem to get around to, housework is the predominat task at hand. 
<br />I&#039;ll be putting an ad in the local paper soon, for Volunteers but I won&#039;t hold my breath, however it would be nice to clear up some free time, so I can get out and about and take care of wheeling and dealing to get us some sponsors and funding, it&#039;s taking too long to get back up on my feet because of the time requirements at this moment - can&#039;t be in more than one...<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.canadaka.net/blog/wolfwithin/i_ask_for_cages_and_get_folks_who_cant_keep_pets_b-1551.html">[ Continued ]</a>';

Worst of all, some of it appears to be a home-grown, hard-earned type of ignorance that has infested the minds of a legion of retards and it refuses to leave.  Like the mighty Odin traded his left-eye for wisdom, these super-pukes traded in half their dicks for barrel-scraped misinformation and they got horribly ripped off in the trade.  Or maybe just ripped.
<br />
<br />But dammit, their ignorance shouldn’t be allowed to exist in a free-world.  If Leibniz was right and positive optimism means this is the best of all possible worlds then God is an autistic kid who got kicked in His all-powerful head once or twice a recess on the playground.  This is a sad state of affairs that these myths exist.  
<br />
<br />As Adlai Stevenson once publicly proclaimed before the United Nations in praise of Eleanor Roosevelt: &#039;She would rather light candles than curse the darkness’.  Not mentioned was his private remark that she could lick a pound of butter out of a half-pound snatch.  That said, I intend to permanently put to rest the following myths.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold">THERE WERE MORE THAN 6 AVRO ARROWS AND YOU’VE GOT ONE IN YOUR BASEMENT NEXT TO YOUR OWN X-WING</span>
<br />
<br />The Avro Arrow for some reason is a thorny issue that beguiles the living shit out of normal people.  They assume, for reasons they read on wikipedia or invented while bragging to coworkers at the local waterin’ hole, that the Arrow was this sophisticated jet-fighter capable of defeating the Soviet Empire in two, maybe three sorties.  It could launch like, a billion missiles at once, it could fly back in time by slingshotting around the sun to fetch a humpback whale before a probe destroyed the earth and its original test-pilot was Ferris Bueller who commented “It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.”

<br />What a sweet sweet little dude this guy was, he never fought with any of the crew and had such a pleasant disposition. H was a total people friendly, loving soul who was timid around the crew so he never fought, but loved to cuddle! 
<br />He had a relapse from a couple of weeks ago. He was being kept in my bedroom and I had company over the weekend. Huck was on specialty food and after the weekend was over and my grandson at school, my visitor&#039;s daughter was bored and was permitted to be in the room with Huck - my bedroom is where I keep all the cat food so the crew doesn&#039;t go stir crazy and he got into the regular food. The little girl didn&#039;t know any better and I never thought to tell her cuz he did have food in his cage! 
<br />IT took all but 24 hours for him to react, vomitting and peeing blood. He went back to the vet who called me a day later to tell me that Huck had somewhat removed his catheter during the night but was eating and alert. He also said that Huck required having his penis removed and that he would be ok after (another $600.) The option had been discussed the last time Huck was there at the Vets a couple of weeks ago and I discussed it with a galpal of mine who has been a vet tech for 30 yrs - she told me that he would still get infections and because he had one almost right after another (and because of when we first brought him in  - in 2003, he&#039;d been fed bloody PEOPLE FOOD!!!! for a week by kids who hid him from mom - he had a kidney failure within 4-5 days of bringing him in - he was all but 3-4 months old) Huck&#039;s history would be urinary infections - so in tears I asked the vet to put him down - he wasn&#039;t even 4 years old!@!! I was sure he&#039;d be ok! (the vet thinks I can&#039;t mentally or financially handle the shelter and stressed that on the phone while I was trying to talk normal but had tears - and  I&#039;ll be damned he soak me another...<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.canadaka.net/blog/wolfwithin/huckster_passed_away_and_more_attitude_b-1909.html">[ Continued ]</a>';

I told Sam that we should do a &#039;Spider-Man 4&#039; that&#039;s completely low budget--&#039;Evil Dead&#039; style--where Mary Jane has eight children with very little special effects and then we&#039;ll get a whole new audience, we&#039;d make a lot of money because it wouldn&#039;t cost as much and everyone would go see it.&quot;<br /><br />When asked about the rumors that Sony is moving forward with a fourth movie with or without Raimi, Dunst was surprised that someone would even suggest it. &quot;Do they want to give Sam Raimi a heart attack? That&#039;s evil. Sorry, that&#039;s not happening any time soon. I would just say no for Sam&#039;s sake so that he can have a break. We would all do it together because Sam, Tobey and I are a team now, but there&#039;s no way it&#039;s going to happen very soon. I just can&#039;t imagine that. We don&#039;t have the story to tell right now.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;I really have evolved as an actress and as a person from 1 to 3, so for me, the role has grown with me,&quot; Dunst said when asked about what she felt she has brought to the role of Mary Jane. &quot;She&#039;s always a woman searching and she&#039;s always been someone that at that time of my life I could relate to. In this film, because we&#039;re older and the relationships are deeper than we&#039;ve seen in the last two, it&#039;s only made all of our roles so much more meaningful to all of us.

The first is that I recieved a rather unplanned souvenir from my trip to Berlin, namely, a cold.  So since Saturday morning I&#039;ve been blowing my nose constantly and trying to deal with a nasty headache.  At least I came down with this cold near the end of my vacation and not in the middle of it, or I&#039;d really have been pissed as opposed to the mildly pissed I am right now.
<br />
<br />But more interestingly, there is a large festival underway here in town called Schützenfest (or shooting festival).  As I understand it, there&#039;S a ceremonial bird that&#039;s released and someone has to shoot it and then afterwards, there&#039;s a big party (though I&#039;m pretty sure I&#039;m wrong on the details).  Either way, there&#039;s  a fairground set up in the city&#039;s main meeting field (for want of a better word which I can&#039;t think of right now) with rides and of course, lots of beer.  
<br />
<br />But at the end of the week is when there&#039;s a really big festival here in town.  It&#039;s called Liborifest and is in honour of the patron of Paderborn, St. Liborious who died in 390 AD and whose relics are kept here and have been here since 836.  It&#039;s a weeklong festival that has little to do with the saint and more to do with partying and not working for a week and no seems to care....
<br />
<br />What&#039;s interesting about the weeklong festival, is that every day the main cathedral here in town will ring its bells for an hour straight once each day.  I&#039;m not sure if I could deal with that.  Why?  Because every day at 9:00, 12:00, and 6:00 the cathedral rings its bells for about 15 minutes which is starting to drive me a little crazy.  And those chimes are only using two of the cathedral&#039;s 7 bells so I can just imagine what sort of cacophany of noise that would create.  Unfortunately, I won&#039;t be here for that.  I head back home on Tuesday where I have my car insurance renewal waiting for me and of course, my crappy job.

This resume might be useful for the few who want to assess my suitability for some advertised/unadvertised employment position which, I must emphasize again, I never apply for anymore.  I stopped applying for full-time jobs four years ago in 2001 and part-time ones in 2003.  I also left the world of volunteer activity, except for work in one international organization, the Baha’i Faith, two years ago.  The age of 62 sees me self-employed as a writer-poet.  I gradually came to this role in the years after I left full-time employment in 1999, seven years ago.  
<br />
<br />Not being occupied with earning a living and giving myself to 60 hours a week in a job and many other hours to community activity marked a turning point for me so that I could devote my time to a much more extensive involvement in writing.  Writing is for most of its votaries a solitary and hopefully stimulating leisure-time-parttime-fulltime pursuit.  In my case in these early years of my late adulthood, writing is full-time about 60 hours a week.1  I have replaced paid employment and activity with people in community with a form of work which is also a form of leisure, namely, writing and reading.
<br />
<br />Inevitably the style of one&#039;s writing and what one reads is a reflection of the person, their experience and their philosophy.  For many years I set out this experience in an attachment which followed this introduction.2   If, as Carl Jung writes, we are what we do, then some of what I was could be found in that attachment.  That document may seem over-the-top as they say these days since it went on for nearly 20 pages, but forty years in the professional job world produced a great pile of stuff/things.   That document I have not updated here.  It was the last resume I used when I was in the job hunting game in 2003.  ...<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.canadaka.net/blog/Bahaichap/letter_writing_2_applications_a_week19612003_b-1034.html">[ Continued ]</a>';
