I  have a friend who name her guinea pigs Donald and Trump.  I told her not to do it.  

My animals all have grand names.

Great.  All there and they help me speak the truth.  

I worked in this world for a very long time.  I can tell you it is weird and wacky.  I have no opinion on breeds or the people who take this to the highest limit.  

Keeping my mouth shut.

Kind of like the people who wear mink coats and actually think that minks are raised fairly and every body part is used.  

Yep.  Human beings have Power Over.  Yay for us.  

(My disclaimer is, I worked for a company for nine years that originated in producing food for caged fur animals and I did work in the pet industry for thirty years.  I was a buyer, a manager of pet stores and someone who scrubbed the floors when the salt water dried up on concrete.  I have picked up many a dead fish, learned how to build aquarium systems, know how hamster balls are made and learned lean thinking processes).... if you love the pet, that is the gig.  

I load  credit cards so, technically I am paying cash when I use my credit card.  I bought a lot of hand made items in Charleston.  I did my Christmas shopping while I was there.  

Do I think things are changing?  Slowly.  South Carolina has it all going on.  Respect is a large word in that part of your country.

I have just returned and I can tell you, that place is special.   

It was in our news.  Move to Canada.... we get it all. 

Hockey and lots of it.  The best game in the world.  :)

Absolutely not.  Spanking a child is wrong.  Children are smaller than adults.  Why raise a child in fear?  ... bad idea.  

Children are our blessings.  Our gifts.  

Good.  Jesus died on the cross for all of us.  I believe he thought of all of us as equals.  I am fairly certain that if one of his friends actually came 'out' he would embrace that friend equally.  

That is my take on Jesus.  I am sticking to it.  

I have given a lot of thought to this and a lot of study.  I have just returned from a trip to the southern part of United States.  It was enlightening, filled with culture, beauty, food, art, people and subjects.

I think, we leave it up to them.

Empathy is an extremely large word.
