Does anyone know who owns the brown building/house that looks as though it is about to collapse at the corner of S. Market and W. Hazel?
A group for discussions related to and about domestic violence.
Hi Mr. Thibeau--
I'm sorry your neighbors care so little for the safety of you and your family (not to mention their own pets) to allow their dogs to repeatedly trespass on your property. In case the situation you mentioned below ever happens again…
Re-agreed. Thanks Shelli!

Just A Dog
by Richard A. Biby
From time to time, people tell me, lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog."
They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog."
Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog."
Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."
"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.
"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person.
Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.
So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human."
"Animals are more than ever a test of our character, of mankind's
capacity for empathy and for decent, honorable conduct and faithful
stewardship. We are called to treat them with kindness, not because
they have rights, power or a claim to equality, but in a sense, because
they don't. They all stand unequal and powerless before us."

Shelli Russell said… - There certainly were a "few" comments below the live stream on Halter's site regarding which team Morrison was batting on.
Hmm. Maybe I should have worded that differently, but you heard what I meant. It was cracking me up reading the comments.

I'd be happy to talk with her, I don't know what to say except I'm sorry. It's so hard to go through, and Saline County doesn't have much desire to help.

Guardrail said… - Well it seems you are an animal lover as well! I take care of my pets and treat them as pretty much family! That little episode by that one doctor just soured me on that clinic. There is a red haired female Dr that I have seen before (I don't know her name) but I liked her. However, just the looks on my kids faces when the other dude just came out and callously told us the bad news totally screwed any loyalty I had. I have never lived a day in my life without at least 1 pet, and I think they all deserve some form of respect. Looks like you do too! Great pictures.
My name is David by the way. Have a good day!

You guys that have no interest in the Sheriff's race, why are you stiring the pot?

Interesting blog. Thanks for posting the link.
I could not have said it better myself-well put!

Yeah, blame that on intelligence on my part. I honestly have little interest in this race. I just enjoy pointing out stupid posts and hypocrisy. For instance....a person who cries about other people not identifying themselves when the crying indi…
To Shelli: Thanks for the recap. You always know what to say and keep people informed. It was great to hear Jim Landers do his last ball game. He will be missed by all who have been listening to him for years.

The thing about this awful situation, is that he IS NOT the only one down there doing it and Bruce Pennington very well knows that. Its a shame we cant a sheriff back down there like Judy Pridge…
It depends upon your location.
Some folks don't have high speed internet and are still on dial-up.
Jason, here are some previous posts that might be useful:

Thanks, but the credit should go to Linda Ives. She posted her electric bill under Greg White’s topic on Benton Utilities. It made me think of how useful the information could be, if gathered in a comparable format. I was hoping to get enough data t…
It is being run by Malvern National Bank...They took it over when the previous owner lost it and could not pay the bills.
Does any know what are all the options for high speed internet in Benton? I have AT&T DSL but am thinking about making a switch and what to see what is out there in terms of prices and sevice.
Munky:
I want to "Thank YOU" for this post.
Jerri,
Have you ever considered that the kids might get on here from time to time and read this stuff. If you want to be negative thats fine by me just try and keep it directed toward Prothro and the whole head coaching debacle that took place.
P.S…
Wendy,
Thanks. It took about a week to get to this stage. I still have to sew buttons on the back and add a ribbon belt. I crochet at night instead of watching tv after work. I'm working on a beautiful little dress now for the daughter of my son's g…
Wow, it's gorgeous, but how do you have time and patience to do this? How long did it take?
It was open Saturday night.
Just an observation, but I would think it's best not for an anonymous poster such as yourself to call on others to do what you will not do. But maybe that's just me.
