...I am talking to my closest "friend" last night....first, she shares that she isn't going out of town as planned (was supposed to take kids to Montreal to visit McGill so oldest can preview...both kids are really smart good kids...oldest is doing the university tour...)

Then...she shares that the reason they didn't go out of town was because the youngest (15) noticed that her rabbit was sick...so to the vet they went. $1200 later (various tests I was told), a parasite has been removed...but that will not necessarily solve to problem.

Summary: University tour trip for oldest daughter was blown off in order to save rabbit belonging to 15 yo younger daughter...cost to date for treatment...$1200.

BTW...my "friend" is a divorcing school teacher....with a teachers' income.

I have my thoughts about this, but I have come to understand that often I might not be right in my thinking (or aligned with most others I guess is a more accurate way to put it), so I am wondering if this is one of those instances.

Please share your thoughts...
 
There is no imposing logic over emotion for some people. Would a logical person spend $1200 in a "might work" repair on an item that could be replaced by a $25 purchase?
 
lol. It is crazy! I try not to be rude, but a rabbit doens't worth $1200.

If i have to work my ass off for 2 weeks just to save the rabbit. then i would put the rabbit to sleep with my hand.
 
Well that definitely debunks the myth that all women are closet "bunny boilers" doesn't it.
 
Well..McGill aint going anywhere...and I'm figuring that the oldest kid wont be going there for Fall 2007 (and even if he was they still have a week to do so and its only a preview...nothing detrimental)..so theres no rush.

Some of you may think that its only a 25.00 rabbit why drop 1200? When it comes down to issues of the heart, money tends to move down on the list of importance (especially if its for your kid that happens to love the animal very much)...of course "how much " money still holds significant weight but for 1200.00 I probably would have done the same (depends on my opinion of the child's ability to handle it, every kid is different).

I know you cant shelter your kid from the realities of death but perhaps she thought the this child in particular wasnt ready for it...so she shelled out 1200.00. Now is 1200.00 a lot of money? well it certainly aint 12 dollars but at the same time its not a ground shaking amount of money.

Some of you guys spend this kinda scratch on SPs in one month...you cant spend that for your kids?

Yeah she may be a teacher which means she certainly isnt rich...but some teachers make good money if they are department heads...plus we have no idea of her finances, if she is receiving child support, or if the husband paid for it.....
 
Well now that the parasite is gone, thats gonna be a very tasty rabbit.

I recommend pan roasted with tomato and herbs.
 
I know people get emotionally attached and will pay anything, I'm the type who mentally has a draw the line figure ready if anything happens to my pet.

In this case they could have done both and had a close friend (MLAM :rolleyes: ) or family member take the rabbit to the vet.
It's not like the kid or her mother performed the operation themselves.
 
You can not put a price on your love for an animal. Your pets are usually a part of your family. Bird, rabbit, dog , cat or elephant. Family is family. My wife spends 1000's per year on her pets and I know better than to say one word.

IT'S A FUCKING RABBIT!

IT'S FOOD!

It's one thing to be cruel to animals, but to be emotionally enslaved to a rabbit? I can understand dogs and cats, because they respond on certain levels...but this is a joke in light of the fact of the obligations at hand.
Is this how you teach children priorities in life?
Our society is way to affluent.
I say we cook the rabbit and eat it...then kick the shit out of the vet for charging $1200. If anyone can justify how a vet can charge that kind of dough, I'll send you my favorite rabbit recipe.

Geezus..have a heart

Do you have kids?...you might be whistling a different tune if your kid was crying over it.

I'm not saying that you have to go and dump all kinds of cash into it...like I said, Its a judgment call; I wouldnt be so quick to go to my kid and say " ITS JUST A FUCKING RABBIT"; that is very cold and heartless

I find this comment very ironic being on a board where guys pay a good chunk of change to fuck and keep fucking Hos. You would pay all kinds of cash to screw a few SPs but you wouldnt even consider it for your child's happiness? :confused:

umm... not sure if you noticed but Vets are doctors too. They go to school for a long time and shell out a lot of money to get to where they are at. Sure it may just be an animal but a vet has to take the same cautions and do just as good a job as a "human" doctor when performing. Its not easy dude...and they cant just say "oh its just an animal..fuck it"

So what are you saying? You don't want my rabbit recipe?

..did not pay.

She does receive child support.

She is not a department head.

She is very solidly middle class...$1200 is not a months' earnings for her. That said...after taxes...it is about a weeks worth of actual "take home pay"...child support included. And she has two kids.
 
I've got a pet rabbit and I cherish it like our family dog! We all consider her a part of the family like the dog.
btw. I love dogs and hate cats .... but I respect everybodys choice.

ok but regardless... you don't know her finances...maybe she has significant savings, perhaps an inheritance...who knows....could be anything.

I just dont know about cutting her down over that.

...a fair amount about her finances, actually, for reasons that aren't particularly relevant to this thread. People going through a divorce talk and bond with others doing the same. People sleeping together regularly talk and bond.

Suffice to say that NO...$1200 is not going to send her to the poor house, and YES...she does in fact have significant net worth...probably more than most people...thanks to the fact that her husband was pretty conservative with his money.

On the other hand..to put things in perspective...the $1200 much more than likely came from a check written against a credit card. How do I know? I don't for certain...but she recently gave me a check for a lessor amount that was of this nature.

All that said...I haven't cut her down. I haven't expressed my opinion on this. I am just providing info to facilitate others forming an opinion because I am curious...I want to know if I am of base or not.
 
"I just dont know about cutting her down over that."[/QUOTE]

I challenge you to go back to MLAM's posts, and point out any statement that cuts her down.

I challenge you to go back to my post as well and point out where I advocate actually saying to the kids, "It's only a fucking rabbit!"
If you can't distinguish what we express on this board from how we actually deal with things in the real world, there's something wrong with you.
Do you tell your kids you post on an escort service board?

No MLAM didnt cut her down but others did (or implied it).

No you wouldnt say that to your kids (or maybe you would)...but it would definitely come out in your actions.

Well I'm sorry if what you express ON THIS topic is different to your real feelings. What I express is what I feel and If I joke I make that clear; I dont have multiple personalities.

There Yoda... I met your challenges
