Re: [MBZ] mistakes a diesel owner should not make
They dont do anything in the country here. If you live the city you can call the animal control and they are supposed to come out and get it. You CANT however take a dog yourself down there, they wont take it. IF you live out in the country like I do(yet I still have to hassle with the planning commission) they wont do anything. YOu can call them and tell them you are bringing a dog in and they wont take it. Call the sherriffs office and they say they wont do anything either. They say to just shoot it. And this with a state wide leash law for dogs. Kevin wrote: On Wed, Jan 18, 2006 at 06:00:55PM -0600, Kaleb C.

yes. Remember your idiot (modifying neighbor) neighbor's dog that came over during the last okieQ and scared the crap out of my four year old, who WAS having a good time till then.

We had one dog that ALWAYS came to our house, terrorizing the cats, carrying off things off the porch, carried off several pairs of shoes from the next door neighbor etc. Have gone down to their house MANY times asking them to do something about it. THey didnt want to chain it, were to cheap or unwilling to build a fence. The next door neighbor has been down to let them know what their dog does. They do nothing about it. The last time the dog was here we hooked a leash to it and tied it to a tree in the front yard and the wife wrote a letter to the neighbor telling them to get their dog under control and that it was tied to our tree and to come get it etc. Well within a couple weeks the letter from the planning commision comes, but that is another story.

Re: [MBZ] mistakes a diesel owner should not make
I think ex-Marine is a faux pas. Don't Marines consider themselves always Marines? I remember hearing something like this from my grandfather (USMC, Korea 1952-53, and other FAR NICER places for the other 2 years). Marshall doesn't seem the type to tell us his personal story. As a yungin' I find it frustrating when older folk DON'T talk about things. My grandfather refuses to talk about Korea, most German won't talk about WWII. HOWEVER, after having seen Untergang (downfall) and the opening seens of Saving Private Ryan (my other grandfather landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day).

Yeah, the same can be said for your dogs. Kill them too. Hell, why not feed all pets poison if they annoy you.

Re: [MBZ] mistakes a diesel owner should not make
I'm all for jokes, but there are a lot of people who actually DO demented stuff like this, not just joke about it - which is why I don't find it humorous. I also thing a lot of people don't realize what a slow, excruciatlingly painful death it causes (takes several days). It's not like it makes them peacefully go to sleep one night and never wake up. Maybe I'm a little more touchy about it because I've had direct personal experience with the effects of antifreeze on an animal. Sorry if I flew off the handle.

Re: [MBZ] mistakes a diesel owner should not make
My family has always had a designated cat gun with which to dispatch cats. It'd get used when we had a nuisence cat, like the stray that wouldn't come in and live inside but liked to poop on my Dad's car or when a cat is sick and dying and needs putting out of its misery. Very humane thing the cat gun. I used it once on a dog that got hit by a car in front of our house, thing was in such terrible shape I don't know what was keeping it alive but I couldn't bear to see it like that. I was amazed when I went to college and somehow got talking about the cat gun and a girl I went to school with was screaming at me and calling me all sorts of terrible things for shooting cats, she thought they should be put to sleep.

Is it as easy to change as on the diesels - i.e. spin on? The spark plugs are probably fairly accessible given the fact that it is a straight six. Any weird maintenance quirks I need to know about the M103 or the 126? Things like coolant flushes, power steering fluid changes, transmission fluid changes, and brakes will be fairly standard, so I won't have to (get to) learn anything new about that. I just thought about it, I have no idea where the oil filter is? Is it as much of a pain as on the 123/124 diesels? Any thoughts would be great? Donald H.

Re: [MBZ] mistakes a diesel owner should not make
We have two adorable black Bombay kittens (minipanthers), both of whom love to jump up on the kitchen counter. We keep a water squirter handy as a deterrent. It's cost-effective (cheap), humane, and highly effective. You should see the look on the cat's face when we merely threaten him with the water bottle. BTW, I should add that they both drink from a Drinkwell Pet Fountain (highly recommended) and love to play in the sink while I am brushing my teeth. Therefore, there have been NO traumatic side effects from the regular jolts of H2O. On 1/18/06, Dave M. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Amen.

Re: [MBZ] mistakes a diesel owner should not make
Well, let's look at this philosophically. If someone cares for their pets, perhaps they should not allow their pets to trespass on others' property. Once your pet is on my property against my will, it is violating my rights (just as if you trespass on my property you are violating same rights), and has no rights of its own (well, animals don't actually have rights - technically what has occurred is you have forfeited your right to have your animal as your unharmed property) - so I can (morally speaking, not practically, see next paragraph) do to it what I want - let it roam, forcibly remove it, or end the problem in other ways. Granted, legally the trespassee probably can't do much, but then again legally you can't do much when there's a robber in your house, either - even places that do have make my day laws usually really restrict their applicability (which is sad, blatant bs). But, the main point is, responsible pet owners keep their animals under control and don't let them wander on people's cars or whatnot - and they shouldn't be upset when others are annoyed by this kind of irresponsibility, and express that annoyance in allegedly inappropriate ways.

No problem, I told myself, just slap on the battery charger overnight. When I got home, parked the car outside intending to put it in the garage (and attach the battery charger) after supper. Got involved in a three hour household project and forgot all about the car. Walked out of the house and into the garage at 7:30 this morning. Hey, where's my car? Oooops, it was outside in mid-teen temps with a non-100% battery. Glow plug light didn't come on, either (a common problem when the car is really cold). So ... before walking to my office (just a few blocks) I hooked up the battery charger! Note to self -- put the car in the garage immediately after arriving at the house, especially in the winter. -- 1977 240D 1983 VW Quantum turbo diesel 5-speed 1972 Honda CB-500K motorcycle http://www.airamericaradio.com/listen ___ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net ___ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net ___ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net _ Dont just search.

Re: [MBZ] mistakes a diesel owner should not make
For the record I dont see ANYTHING wrong with plunking a BB at a cat/dog/whatever that is doing something its not supposed to. It will not kill said animal but will shock them into thinking twice. Now if you load up a pellet instead and pump that sucker up quite a bit, you could get a lethal shot I suppose, but not with a low powered bb. Its better than having to all out shoot to kill the thing. Tom Hargrave wrote: Not your fault - I started this one with my CO2 powered pellet gun comment, which I still think is funny.

some people just dont understand I suppose. Curt Raymond wrote: My family has always had a designated cat gun with which to dispatch cats. It'd get used when we had a nuisence cat, like the stray that wouldn't come in and live inside but liked to poop on my Dad's car or when a cat is sick and dying and needs putting out of its misery. Very humane thing the cat gun. I used it once on a dog that got hit by a car in front of our house, thing was in such terrible shape I don't know what was keeping it alive but I couldn't bear to see it like that. I was amazed when I went to college and somehow got talking about the cat gun and a girl I went to school with was screaming at me and calling me all sorts of terrible things for shooting cats, she thought they should be put to sleep.
