    good subjects??

    cars, their losses in the stock market, politics and sports..

    they key to getting their goat is to strike back with gentle ribbing, big smile on your face and
    being able to sustain the joke for more than one day....

    they get the message pretty quickly.
    Oh the hunting stories I hear! Like I said, I can take the jokes, teasing etc. but I hate the actual horror stories, and they always seem to feel they have to tell me them. It would be a different story if they were telling me because they were upset and needed to vent and a shoulder to cry on...but NOOOOOOO...it's to get to me!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    I think most people would find me a bit too outspoken to tell me such sadistic stories. But a good offense is often the best defense... I refer to firearms as instruments of death and deer hunting as Bambi killing -- with only a hint of humor in my voice. If all else fails I can launch into my theory of watching football being an excellent way for men to vent their latent homosexual tendencies....

    Perhaps a Miss Manners line...."Will you forgive me for not enjoying your stories if I forgive you for being such a sick sadist?"--said with a sweet and sincere head tilt and smile....

    I think Richard's got something there....I know that at my husband's job, he has friends that CALL US AT HOME when the Yankees lose. It pisses him off, but he wont admit it! Try that!!!
