Do you guys want to keep this thread as is, or would you prefer how we used to have things? There was the TABT (this ain’t bears talk) thread for stuff non-bears/football and there was the random bears thoughts thread for things like minor free agent signings, minor injuries, etc. Let me know. Random thoughts is random thoughts. Doesn’t have to be about Bears or not about Bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 Purpose of random thoughts is general discussion that doesn’t fit elsewhere. Plus by making new ones from time to time you get time capsules. The Covid period for example is a unique time in history. It would have been interesting to see varied opinions on that from people in the forum. It turned out we couldn’t calmly discuss it anywhere in world so we didn’t get that and it was a largely verboten topic as too political and divisive But that is an example of my thoughts and purpose of thread. What is happening at this time and what are people thinking. Not saying political, but just general Bears and not Bears both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to see us not starting 0-2 if Garropollo is starting. Even if its Lance that is a tough start against those defenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is, you will face the same amount of issues in other countries that your trying to get away from here in the US. Some better aspects...some worse. Id like to face the same issues but retire comfortably much earlier. That is my incentive. Internal laziness and hobby addictions can fight inside my head daily. Lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will never be a man made utopia anywhere. We are fallen. People do vote with their feet though. Always have. Ironic thing is people often bring with them same attitude and philosophies which formed place they left and didn’t like to their new home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whole house is still down, even our other dog seems like he is sad. Other dog is definitely sad. We had two dogs growing up and when one died the other would be depressed for weeks. One didn't eat for awhile and just cried and whimpered. On a less serious note, because of extreme allergies in our household we have never had a pet and it breaks my daughters heart. A month and a half ago I went to local Farm and Fleet on a whim and bought baby chicks for her to care for. We are not allowed chickens where I live so we had to give them away when they came of age. I had to give them away to a farmer other day. She thought we were keeping them for another week, but he said he was in town and asked if he could get them that day and I said yes. She was very broken hearted and mad at me because she didn't get extra week with them. I was the bad guy. Edited May 15, 2022 by dll2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm allergic to both dogs and cats, but was fine owning a Sugar Glider through my 20s. That said, make sure you do TONS of research on any animals you look into getting, and though I highly recommend gliders in general, they are most assuredly not for everyone, and probably not the best "family" pets for a number of reasons, but there's tons of different types of animals you can look into.

dll2000 Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 I rarely take days off because the work piles and waits for you. Was at a funeral yesterday and I am still not half way through my emails and the problems therein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
