Oh! That's SUCH a put down! A 2003 Tundra! Too bad YOU couldn't
afford one. He also drives a 97 Saturn SC2. And sometimes my 2003
RAV4. But that's not as damaging, eh?

2. I can see


So can I. But you apparently can't see what an ass you are.

3. I don't spend my day wiping asses


No, you just suck them.

and greasy little mouths,


Hummm....maybe you eat grease but here we don't...


doing laundry and playing wifey to the breadwinner


DH does his own laundry. Not that you really care. And there is
nothing more noble than taking care of a family, Tapey. Maybe if your
Mother had taken better care of you, you wouldn't be so ****ed up. She
wasted away from cancer - and full of hate - just like you. Right?
You undoubtedly enjoyed her suffering.


4. And last but not least: whatever happens in Usenet is okay
by me. All of it, any of it, I just love a free-for-all.


Obviously. But you can't handle the fact that you have absolutely *no*
say in what happens with Conan. And that drives you absolutley
*crazy*.

Obsess on, Tapey. I'm gonna go wipe a sweet, little round butt that
undoubtedly smells better than your breath.

With Mary, yes it's Obsessive Compulsive Disorder with an ODD/Tourettes
overlap.

It is entirely up to Dan what happens to this cat, so we might as
well leave Monica out of it.

Monica is in control because she paid for it. Dan is just the hired
ape who does the legwork. He's got no money, remember? That's how
come he takes charity from people on the Internet.

Charlie

Think of it not as taking charity, but as taking a non refundable
deposit. This qualifies the potential buyers.

I'm referring to the veterinary bills for his other cat.

I am very careful about who I accept money from, Philip. How about
you? My experience has been that people who are careless about
accepting money from strangers are careless about personal
responsibility in general.

Charlie


I GRACIOUSLY accept all contributions to my private foundation and to Hip
Pocket Bank.


I don't. I'll be damned if I would take a handout from strangers on
the Internet because of a sob story about a cat. I have too much
self-respect for that. I would borrow money from a relative or a
friend and pay it back in installments before I would do that.

Lending money is another matter. Never lend money you cannot
afford to lose. I agree with your closing premise. In particular, lawyers
are always out to screw a lender and accountants are always upside-down.


??? What do you mean by accountants being upside-down? If you borrow
for a plunge on California real estate these days you can be
upside-down in a hurry -- but that is the accounts, not the
accountants. I hope you don't have that problem.

Charlie



Never borrow money except where the interest is deductable on your taxes,
ie, a house.

I have never met an accountant that did not live paycheck to paycheck or
worse (owing money all over town). Same to be said about investmet
"counselors." If they were so astute and successful at managing money, they
would not be working in a broker office.

We're quite secure. What *has* begun around here are those balloon payments
coming due on interest only loans. Some timed and placed their purchases
right, but as many have/did not. We have two young couples copurchasing a
house on our street ... using an interest only loan with mortgage payments
of about $2,500 a month. OUCH

I find it kind of fascinating, really. Didn't you ever read Nancy Drew
when you were little? I love a good mystery and am always on the
lookout for one. I think the photo comparisons and some of the other
detective work were pretty amusing/interesting...even clever, like
Barry's progressions and Charlie's illustration.

It's a diversion, like usenet's a diversion. A diversion within a
diversion. TV is all reruns now, so might as well get into a good real
life mystery.

For the record, as I was following the Harri thread because it
initially sounded like she had what one of my cats has, Dan never asked
people for money. It's just a thing they do on rpca, *a lot*, I've
noticed. They even have a standing PayPal account set up to donate
money to any of the regulars on the group who need help, and not just
veterinary help but any sort of help...plane tickets to visit family,
etc. I assume Dan has probably donated to other people in the past.
But, actually, in his case with his sick cat recently, no one kept a
list of who donated specifically. From what I read, when people called
the vet's office to donate, they weren't even asked their names, just
their credit card number so he doesn't even know who donated and they
all know he doesn't know. At least that prevents the "being beholden"
thing. He does have a job and all, he just had some bad luck lately
work and personal problems. People *wanted* to donate.


I understand. However, the truthfulness with which people describe
their personal situation is what enables this charitable impulse. Dan
created a credibility gap a mile wide for those who were inside the
situation last week.

I don't know what his involvement with Monica was Conan and I admit
it's odd that he didn't initially respond to Mary's emails after the
rescue but, if I were him, I don't think I would respond now. It's too
lame to try to defend yourself, especially if you think you were right,
and it just sounds like weak, BS excuses, so it's best to take the
"high ground" and let people deduce what they may.


Dan can take the fifth, but this isn't a court of law and the rules
for judging someone are a lot different. They have to be, given the
limits on how much we know. Moreover, there is nothing to stop people
like me from bringing the matter up again and again.

Some will always
think he was involved; others will never think he was involved. I
doubt we will ever know what really happened that day no matter how
long we talk about it and try to figure it out. It's an entertaining
little mystery and I do feel bad that Conan is not yet placed but as
for Dan's "double agent" duty, we will probably never know what
occurred.

People have a tendency people have to destroy relationships by
pandering too much to their own egos.

There was a lot of manic babble in here about Conan, but it had the
potential to be a fun story. Now it has turned ugly. A couple of
people decided this group was too ****ed up to be allowed to continue
sponsoring this cat, so they took control and clammed up except for
Monica's self-serving screeds, both of which worsened her image
instead of repairing it.

I believe people who get along with Monica should contact her and urge
her to rethink how she is handling this, for the sake of her own
interests if she cares about these newsgroups. The cat should be
placed with someone who has a contact within this group who is not too
controversial. Then Monica won't have to wince every time she
downloads a fresh batch of headers.
