Saint Roch is the patron saint of dogs.

Also of bachelors, diseased cattle, falsely accused people, invalids,
Istanbul, surgeons, tile-makers, gravediggers, second-hand dealers,
pilgrims, and apothecaries.

Be sure to take one or more to lunch tomorrow!

I think he was featured on the "Wheaties" box of cereal back in the
Olympic days. I'll bet they won't put his picture on a box of Wheaties
now. Damn weirdo freakazoid.

You have to hand it to the guy. He found a way to outshine those

Um, (s)he's not an athlete anymore. I doubt that Mary Lou Retton will
ever be on another Wheaties box either.

I've flipped channels a few times to that show just to see what it's
about. Nothing. I can't believe that people would watch and like it.

As for Brucie...he just needed some income. He should have spent it on
some couch time with a good psychologist rather than an invasive sex
change surgeon. What a loser.

Probably not but at least she didn't embarrass the Olympics crowd and
the Wheaties people. What a messed up individual. He will never be a
"she" despite operations to make it appear so.

Best scenario is that Mary Lou Retton will want to be a man, then she
can marry Brucie. After the wedding, hopefully both of them will die
in a tragic car accident while on their honeymoon.

The website I looked at also says St. Roch is the patron against
plague, cholera, and skin rashes. He seems to be a patron St. for
those of lesser value despite of his noble birth. Quite a guy. How
did you learn about him - did you attend parochial school?

Thank you for cutting the cross-posting, Bruce. BTW, Opinicus seems to
be on a different calendar from the rest of the us. Last time I
checked, tomorrow is August 16th, not the 18th.

The same can be said for all those "reality" shows, and that could even
include most of the cooking competitions.

LGBT issues are a hot topic these days and it isn't politically correct
not to be accepting of all sexual orientations and genders, but I have
to wonder if they could not improve counseling and hormone therapy to
help people come to terms with the sexual parts they were born with. I
am amazed that a guy would have his parts cut off and undergo hormone
therapy to become a woman, usually an ugly one, and then have
relationships with women. It seems like a hell of an ordeal to go
through to become a *******. I feel sorry for them that they are so
terribly confused.

Who are "the Olympics crowd"?

Who are "the Wheaties people"?

Why are they embarrassed?

But he wasn't really a *he* before, and some would say that you are not a

This is the TRUE "gary" coming out to us all.

No more Mr. Nice Guy for him - the ferret ****er is out of the closet as

Did you guess he was a turd before when he played nice?

I did.

Or races or creeds or sizes or nationalities! It's almost gotten to
where it's not cool to hate any general group of people!

They are "coming to terms", but perhaps not as you'd prefer. It is
more common than ever that after counseling and hormone therapy people
are coming to terms with their preferred gender, regardless of their
organs. But perhaps you meant feigning the gender that their organs
would imply.

If an accident had you losing your member, do you think you'd begin
loving men? Gender is one thing and biological sexual assignment is
another. They don't always correlate in tidy predictable categories,
and never have. In any case a majority of that group currently called
"transgender" are more frequently choosing to retain their organs as is.

Regarding "beauty"; that isn't really what defines "success" as a
woman, though society sure tells us that often enough. If "ugly women"
should be men, there could be many millions of women that would have to
convert to men, depending on the societal fashion du jour. An
astounding number of adolescent girls think they aren't pretty, or are
even ugly, unfortunately. That's what 16 years of indoctrination get
you.

Their confusion and discomfort predominantly stems from a lack of
acceptance by others, rather than an inability for self-acceptance.
Much of their discomfort comes from discrimination, being castigated
and ostracized by family, church, work, etc. That's where the misery
lays--a loss of enclusion in family and community.

We had a smart dog too. She was half boarder collie and English Cocker
Spaniel. The dog had skills in pointing and herding when he was a pup.
If you wanted a working dog, it would be very easy to train a dog with
such a predisposition. It's amazing the complex behaviors that can be
passed on through the genes.

Both the cat and the dog were aware of the space around them and the
relationship of the people to themselves in that space. The dog would
constantly be changing his place in the room according to our movement.
The dog is living with my son now and what a great life he has living in
a house of dogs.

San Rocco is also the patron of Simbario, Catanzaro, Calabria, as
any member of the Società Unione Progresso e Civilità di Tutti i
Paesani di Simbario could tell you.

Procession begins at St. Theresa's Chinese Catholic Church (formerly
Santa Maria Incoronata) at 9 am, followed by Mass at 10:30 a.m. Mass, followed by a ANOTHER procession with Caliendo's Banda Napoletana, the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and kissing of the holy relic of San Rocco, and a buffet dinner afterward. A Novena will be celebrated on Aug. 16. (Bruno Bertucci, 312-446-0504)

Buffet dinner!
The Bertucci boys have sadly closed their restaurant. But it was
great while it lasted.

Wonderful

Ours was affectionate and settled in from the second we brought her home,
yet she growls at strangers and won't go to them to be petted whatever they
try and do. We had only met her once before we brought her home and that
was just for a short walk. Normally there is a bit of a process to go
through before you can adopt a dog from there, but they knew us because we'd
had dogs from them before.

She knew which side her bread was buttered <g>

Nothing at all. She just got added in as another Wheaties box figure.
Sadly she was collateral damage in this thread.

Getting dogs to interact appropriately with other dogs and strangers is a problem a lot of owners face. Our dog was friendly to strangers but would act all weird with other dogs. These days she lives just fine in the company of dogs.
