But an NPR blogger wonders if it's fake? [link]

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I was just reminded that Sunday's tv watching includes the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet (in addition to some game with a pigskin or other).

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
"The Boy Scouts had to suffer the consequences for sticking by their moral values....There's no question" that the Scouts' anti-gay, anti-atheist stance has cost the organization money, he said. As a result, he said, "every council has looked at ways to generate funds ... and logging is one of them."
So they've now confirmed the level of their moral values.

I don't know if I buy that rationale. I kinda think kids just have a lot of things to do and Boy Scouts is being left behind. If you've got karate, soccer, softball, video games, and any number of other things, maybe there isn't much appeal to joining the Boy Scouts.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
One of the guys I met networking is a Boy Scout leader who runs a troop in Lowell that gets low income/immigrant boys for whom it really is a path for upward mobility and wider opportunities. This being MA, he's very apologetic about the national organization's political stances, but for him the good that he sees being done far outweighs the bad.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I see the same thing here with the Girl Scouts and the "city kids". It is, in some ways, an alternative to a gang, and thus does really great things. I think the problem is that they need money to do this and are losing he middle class kids to karate, baseball, etc. And I did stop donating to them because of the gay thing and I will not buy their popcorn.

I hope the prescription works, msbelle.
I spent $$ to be told Mister Kitty is just fine, and the peeing probaqbly is 99% habit/scent. yay! The vet had some suggestions for breaking the habit I haven't tried, but eh. Puppy pads work too (he just pees in front of the box about once a day, still using the box otherwise.M oving the box doesn't work...cause the front of the box is still there!)
Dr. Berry says hi, lisah!

Sophia, the Girl Scouts are a lot better on the gay issue than the Boy Scouts. Not perfect, but pretty far from where their counterparts stand.
