THE OHIO CHAT ROOM!!!

Sorry if I upset anyone, but Zoos have always been a pet peeve of mine, well any animal in a cage. Example, my sister had some kind of small dogs ( two of them) which she confessed to loving more than her kids almost. But they were only allowed to go outside do their thing and then back into the house and into the cages, made no sense to me. Why have them? Snakes etc I can see keep them locked up! :ROTFL:

I like The Wilds that's down between Zanesville and Cambridge, cool place for sure and animals roam free.
I take big suitcases Tahoe but you are limited to 50 lbs so I may have to divide you in two or thirds to take you along :goink:

Maybe its the scientist in me...I know that many of the animals in the enclosures aren't as happy as they would be in the wild...then again...they may be more alive than they would be in the wild too. I guess I understand the necessary evil part but I value the contributions they make to human knowledge. Because we can understand their biology, we can help their wild relatives more effectively. Then again, survival of the fittest would tell us to let the endangered species die out so that other species could replace them.

I'm more of the lab scientist than the tree hugger scientist if you couldn't tell.

And I can't afford a trip to Africa or to Disney...I'm saving for a LIFT!

Hey Megalos, I saw you this morning at the corner of Brice and Main.

Only I was driving my crane truck. :lol:

Is that lifted too? Just trying to rub it in?

If you honked and I missed it, sorry. I'm not really awake until I reach 670 on my way to campus.

Dangit, I was hoping they would never know :ROTFL:

My wife and I want to take our kids to the Wilds sometime, but between soccer,cheerleading most of the year, 4H, etc, hard to get away...plus I'm cheap!!!! :mrgreen:

The Wilds is a great place to go. I was working for the City of Cambridge's Community development department when they were first building it and got to see a lot of the areas most never do. Great place to go!

On a different note here's something for you to ponder
guy built this with a lawn mower engine and two transmissions, chain drive up to the wheels rolls along and if he wants to turn locks one wheel and spins right around

Getting mine ready for new things :twisted:

Why would I visit a zoo when my life and living quarters is a zoo? :ROTFL:

Forget the zoo, take the kid hunting then he can exam them upclose, real close, like on his plate :shock:

Yum, just getting hungry thinking about the venison sausage I am going to have for breakfast

Baby or not, never too young to start :ROTFL:

I figured I would stop in for a second and upset to polite balance of nature here just to say hello :jester:

Been VERY busy at my new fun time erhhh ahhhhh job rather :ROTFL:

Well I am now a two Jeep guy!
Got a great deal on this XJ, even though its down in NC, had it towed to my dads shop with a head issue, and will be getting a motor swap!!

JeepinJarhead03 · **Posted:** Thu Oct 14, 2010 11:41 pm

pretty sure I've seen that XJ before I moved to IL

It's pretty straight, pretty sure it had different tires when I saw it though but I could be mistaken, looks exactly like it though, browning decal / rough country etc

surprisingly few door dents lol

Where did you move from?
The guy lived in Alabama, then moved to Fort Bragg in NC, so its been down south its whole life and has a great rust free underside.
I know its got plenty of door dents and some that are bigger then door dents haha
But I got the KJ for the DD this will just be a trail rig/extra Jeep and a winter driver since my sister has a 2WD KJ and will end up using my KJ when the weather is bad, so I can drive this.

Found out today that we got back 12.5% of the 20% pay cut we had to take in Jan. of '09 :BANANA:

Kinda like a raise! :pepper:

Except we're still not quite where we were. But it's lookin better!!! :pepper:

And they opened up OT also! We will actually get paid for it, instead of just getting comp time!!! :pepper:

Mo Money, Mo Money, Mo Money!! :BANANA:

larry i am happy for you i hope that they give you the rest someday... i just with that GM give back the money that they took from us, i wish that the layoff that i have been on the for the past month and a half would end soon. but on the ther hand i would be happy if it lasted if it lasted forever wile i find better work, because that place stresses me out.
