Yes but we augment their diet a bit. They ate most of what you mentioned already.

My neighbor's big tomcat killed a rabbit in our backyard and ate it's head off. I caught it carrying the head off into the field behind us and gnawing on it. I took the rest of it and threw the remains in HER backyard. A couple days later while my wife was working outside...the neighbor woman came over and told my wife that she thought there was Satanists in the area performing animal sacrifice rituals since she found a headless rabbit on her back steps. My wife was scared to death. I laughed till I cried..but then I did live several years on a farm with cats around.

My wife laughed at this.
Reminds me of my mother’s neighbor. Her dog tore up a possum and I ended up dumping it over the fence in their overgrown mess. It was still alive and I thought it might take off. A few years later when the woman passed on, her son was telling me how he found a big dead possum in the yard. Yes, I kept a straight face.

Smart move GA..!!

Thanks, I've been doing this for years.
Some of my best deals were:
3 piece fry pan set from Macy's, for $45 shipped to my door step. Regular price was $90.
3 dress shirts $87 (buy 1 get 2 free which is roughly 32 each after shipping). Regular price was $87 each.
1 dress shirt $19 (for my nephew), 1pr women's house shoes/clogs $30. Regular price shirt $55, regular price shoes $75.
Again, they come in little brown boxes, and all I do is click the mouse.

James, you can also load coupons on store cards such as Kroger Plus, etc.
No more clipping....

Why are you wearing women's house shoes?

Isn't Ralph's the same as Kroger's?

 

[Gregg Axley]

The women's house shoes make me fell pretty.
They are for my wife, who wears a size 11.
You know what they say about women with big feet don't you???
They have a hard time finding shoes at Payless and other discount stores!
I'm slowly but surely getting her into buying them online, once she has a brand name and knows the style will fit properly.
She's in to buying online, that's how I got started, but her purchases are old movies, etc.

Safeway has the same option, I just checked.
Something about a Safeway card or "U" card.
We had Safeway here in the early 80's, then they moved on.
Don't get me started on Walmart and how they helped put a local grocery store out of business (one that was family owned since the teens).

He wears them with pajama pants in public.

Yeah, they are a subsidiary of Kroger since 1998. They are also Food 4 Less and Food Co We only have Food 4 Less here. We use to have Ralph's when I was growing up though.

Yes, the U card is like the secret menu at In N Out.
Couldn't compete. That is the way it goes everywhere. :huh:

We've got Ralph's down here but they're expensive.

Yeah I noticed.

 

[Gregg Axley]

I've never worn pajama pants to the store.
Okay I wore them in public once....Mr Bubble pajama pants.

LSS, I went to pick up a dog (the Heeler) 8hrs from here.
We got her, and at the first rest stop we let her out to potty.
Well she was feral, and we knew it (came from a farm), and she bit me.
After a romp in the woods to catch her, I was covered in mud, but came back across the parking lot triumphant with my scared doggie in a bear hug.
My only other pants? Mr. Bubble pajama pants.
Muddy, and bleeding from one arm, I emerged from a bathroom stall after changing, just as a Church youth group had taken over the place.
The looks I got...their eyes were as big as saucers! It was jealousy over my pajama pants, and not shock over the blood on me or the fact I just threw a good pair of jeans away.
When I go shopping, I dress somewhat nice because I have standards, as the ones we share here.
Shoot, I don't even own a pair of cut off jeans.

As we get closer to Christmas, I expect (sadly) to hear of more stupidity by the masses trying to save a few bucks.
So long as they don't clog up my internet sites, I've got shopping to do.

Oh no! What a story!
I would have thrown the hippie jeans away for sure.

 

[Gregg Axley]

The jeans were a similar pair to what I'm wearing now.
It's a shame I had to throw them away, because now I only have one pair of favorite jeans.
Frayed, starting to get some holes in them, and soft as a baby's bottom.

I have to get a few items from a store down the street today, I'll be there as they open, and I'll be brave.
These are items I need now.
The store? Bed Bath and Beyond.
Oh nobody will be there. :eeek:

 

[lolly_loisides]

How anybody can think this is a good idea is beyond me "Toys R Us will open 87 straight hours before Christmas" then again if I fancy buying a Barbie at 3am (in my pajamas) I'll know where to go.

Urgh.

So:
1. People can't take an hour or so from their busy schedules to get their Christfmas shopping done before this time period.
2. People need to shop all times of the day and night *right* up to Christmas.

Throw the hippie jeans away and get real pants then.

Did you get run over by the mob?

Because everybody knows the Magi just hit Manger Stable and Beyond at the Bethlehem Mall on the way in.

Don't give them any ideas.
