    Asking people sarcastic questions like this one:
    Do you know why adults always ask little kids what do you wanna be when they grow up? They are looking for ideas about possible career choices themselves. HA! HA!

Now, Mr. Whiley always refers to himself in the 3rd person. Bob hates this. Bob loves that sort of thing. Also, another forum member, Blood ON The Tracks, informed me that a character on "Seinfeld" named "Jimmy" used this comedic device first.</div><div> </div><div>Why do I do this? Simple really. I always thought that speaking in the 3rd person is a great comical device to act as though a person is observing life's events from a distance above it all like a near death experience almost as if you are watching someone else live vicariously through you. In a nutshell, I am paying homage to Bob & Jimmy because I have a fondness for brilliant comedians that make you think & are kind of like the protest singers of my generation George Carlin, Bill Maher etc. etc.</div>

    I just paid my car insurance online for this month. I have a question: How does an insurance company calculate the value of a pet anyway? Income potential/earning potential is out. Is it based on specific breeds & medical care as the dog or cat ages? Are reptiles excluded from insurance protection too? I ponder peculiar items like this a lot. It's how my mind is wired I guess...

      Cute SW. I love the idea of pets medical needs from an accident being insured, but am seriously turned off by the cynical "cost of adopting a new pet" coverage. Please. Do they cover "cost of adoption" of replacement children as well? Just rubs me the wrong way.

      " Do they cover "cost of adoption" of replacement children as well? Just rubs me the wrong way." No argument there MAC. It seems condescending & cruel to me too. Well said my friend! When I thought my calico cat named Gypsy had died in the 1984 tornado that destroyed our home, I would have been insulted by a check designed to buy a new cat myself outraged actually.
