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. -L. |

Dan is the one who adopted him as far as the Orange County Shelter is concerned, so he is Conan's owner. Dan is the one who boarded Conan at the kennel near his house. 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. 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 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. Candace |

My experience has been that people who are careless about accepting money from strangers are careless about personal responsibility in general. 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. Charlie |
