Ok...your thoughts please...

[jazzpig]

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; I dont have multiple personalities

You have a serious problem with reading comprehension.

What I'm expressing here ARE my real feelings. Let me repeat, I DEAL WITH IT differently in the real world.
By the way, feeling different from what you express does not constitute having multiple personalities. You have a tendency towards hyperbole and misconstruing peoples' comments.

And for your information, which I'm sure you'll not completely comprehend, I do love animals. The whole point here is priorities. There is a context to this whole discussion. If your child wanted to stay home for a week from school because his/her rabbit died, would you let them?

I will ask you again. Do you tell, or would you tell your children if asked, that you chat on an escort board? Would you express that to any of your immediate family? Would you tell them that you fuck SPs or at the very least, are involved to some degree in this type of community? If not, would that mean you have mutiple personalities?

I understand the point of view of doing all you can to save a pet and "member of the family". However, it's a rabbit (I have a rule about pets; I'm not interested in the ones that crap indoors) and things need to be put into perspective.

The original poster asked for our thoughts. My thought is put the animal down humanely, pick up another new and improved bunny (that the kids will love as much as the first one very soon), move on and save yourself about $1000.

These are my thoughts on the matter, for whatever it's worth.

 

[lookingforitallthetime]

My thought on this is as follows:
Given the choice between my child's future and my pet I choose the child's future.
I think that 15 is old enough to learn about life and death and as cold hearted as it seems its was time for the rabbit.
I ALWAYS get a quote from my vet.

I didn't read it as she was in some way jeopardizing her child's future. I thought it as a trip to scope out local universities, not a meeting with the Dean.

I have a problem with spending that much money on a glorified rodent (while understanding the emotional bond a pet can make). But, to each his own.

Ironic that you accuse me of reading comprehension LMFAO

What the hell does staying home from school because a rabbit died have to do with this???? READ IT AGAIN

He said they were going down for a PREVIEW...that has no bearing on anything. They are just gonna look around the campus..ooh ahh and go home. Big Deal!..its just an excuse to take a trip

again what does this have to do with anything?? We are talking about a rabbit here.
But to answer your dumb question, I wouldnt tell them..You know why? because it would never come up..why? because I WOULDNT BRING IT UP to talk about or have to lie about.

I express what I feel or I dont express it at all.

Oh...BTW,...sometimes telling the truth and expressing what you feel can be two different things. So I dont know what your point is

Why is there no outcry about hunters shooting us Bears?

My point is you are a hypocrite and a retard. You are truely a waste of time and energy.

She's getting support payments for 2 kids plus teachers make $60k to 80K after some experience, so I don't think $1200 is going to bankrupt her.
Personally, I couldn't justify spending that on a rabbit though...

yeah..nice contribution...moron

but you're right... I'm tired of wasting time on you too...good luck in whatever you do, you'll need it

This reminds me of the Weekend Update SNL joke... "first cat to undergo hip replacement surgery... which was just several thousand dollars more expensive than the more common practice, total cat replacement."

Just for that, you're not getting my rabbit recipe!

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.....

Exactly my thoughts.

And btw, teachers make some pretty good money, even just your run of the mill teacher. My friend is a high school English teacher and made about 84k last year. That's pretty good coin considering it's only 9 months worth of work.
