A cowboy walks into a bar and orders a whisky. When the bartender delivers the drink, the cowboy asks, "Where is everybody?" The bartender replies, "They've gone to the hanging."

"Hanging? Who are they hanging?"

"Brown Paper Pete," the bartender replied. "What kind of a name is that?" the cowboy asked. "Well," says the bartender. "He wears a brown paper hat, brown paper shirt, brown paper trousers and brown paper shoes."

"How bizarre," said the cowboy. "What are they hanging him for?"

"Rustling," said the bartender

We just recently got a new kitten from the pound. She is about 3-4 months old and was fixed about 2 days ago.
We've had 1 cat for a little over a year now (she was about 3 months old when we got her). We brought the young kitten home yesterday and have kept her in our extra room at night. When we put these cats together, the older one stalks the younger one as if she was prey. She swats and hisses at the younger cat. Occasionally, it'll appear as if they're playing..but that doesn't last very long. Our older cat gets mad when we try and pet her and seems jealous towards the younger one. Will this end? The younger cat crys LOUDLY when we lock her in our extra room; I'm assuming that's just cause she's young and is scared/lonely.
Our older cat's eyes get really wide (and dialated) when she watched the kitten walk around..obviously the kitten is afraid and folds it's ears back and hisses when approached by our older cat.
Please help!

Anderson Cooper was not fair on Obama in the question sharing....and if you watch all the clips,you will observe some element of fairness for Clinton.I begin to wonder if the "youtube"debate was not programmed in favour of some contestants.I believe that point scoring questions were available to some of these candidates well in advance b/4 the debate.

I care what my family and close friends think of me but as far as co-workers, strangers, church members, etc. How do you get over caring what they think of you? I feel I'm not enjoying my life because I care so much about what people think of me and how I live my life. I have certain preferences in life, for example going to meeting with a drive of about 45 minutes. I prefer to roll the window down because it makes me comfortable but I worry about what the other person will think of me. I worry about what people when i choose to do something that makes me comfortable because I'm afraid they will not understand why I do that. I get nervous real easy in certain situations but yet I have found ways to calm myself and people may not understand that. That is what is constantly goign through my mind, is what people will think of me for the things I do and not understand why I do them. None of them are bad; just ways to help me relax and enjoy life. How do I stop carrying?

I will use stain plus either water-based or oil-based polyurethane. Which one is easier to apply to get an even result all over the floor? I don't mind the smell of the oil based one. However, I am a little concerned because I want to change the color of the floors substantially and don't know which type of stain/polyurethane combination is best. I would appreciate any comments in choosing the option that'll give me the best results. Thanks.

A young indian scout comes riding into town from the prarie and runs straight to the town doctor. Out of breath and distraught, he interupts the doctor who is tending to another patient and says to him..


"Big chief, no fart! Big chief no fart!"



The doctor thinks for a moment and says, "Ah, your indian chief has gas! Here, take these two pills with you back to the prarie and tell your chief to take them. That should fix his illness."



And with that, the scout returned to the prarie.



The next day the indian scout came riding back into town and again ran to the town doctor, still frantic, and when he got to the doctor he pleaded once again..



"Big chief no fart! Big chief no fart!"



The doctor looked puzzled.. "Hmm. Those pills didn’t help? He must have a more severe case of gas than I originally thought. Go back to your chief and tell him to take FOUR more of these."



He handed the scout four more pills and the scout took off like a shot, back to the prarie.



The next day the indian scout came riding into town again, faster than ever! He ran up to the doctor and began yelling jibberish that the doctor couldn’t understand.



The doctor began to calm him down, "Woah woah, there. Calm down. What’s the problem? Still ’Big Chief no fart’"?



The scout looks him in the eyes and says..



"Big fart no chief!"

I've had severe nerve pain for about 4 years, I am on disability - I was approved the first time. That should tell you how severe it has been. The pain runs across the #11 Nerve - Intercostal nerve. They tried meds like Neurontin and Lyrica, they helped with the pain a lot but I couldn't tolerate either, both caused me severe side effects and I had to quit both. All they can do is give me narcotics and send me to the pain clinic - both methods are ineffective for me.

I've improved a lot in the past year, mostly through physical therapy - but I still don't have enough control of pain - and I'm trying to get where I can work again. My wife died a year ago (she was 42, and I was 44, I am 45 now) - - and I don't want to be home all the time, I want to be productive, and I try very hard. The pain along the 11 nerve is still fairly bad, and if I go off the narcotics it's unmanageable.
I don't want to be on the narcotics.
thanks

I wish I get along w/ Cancers. But they complicate things. All the Cancers I know (pardon me) seems to take offense easily. I find it easy to discuss things and do things with signs...like Leo or Libra...or..Saggitarius. I wish I could just tell Cancer to lighten up. ..that not everything is about them. Cancer has a way of being egocentric that makes me feel very uncomfortable. It is so obvious to me that Cancer is insecure...and it is so annoying to have them trying to project confidence in ways that is really more like ...offensive....(offensive and defensive is a great way to describe the ones I have to work with) I must not be a typical Scorpio female. I look up to Leo . Leo finds that I think too much . ( This is true and Leo helps me get out of myself & DO ) Libra and I can really discuss. Life always make more sense when I am with Libra. I get excited with Sagg..we inspire each other. Capricorn is home...deep connection. Why do I have such a struggle w/ cancer?
