The Vomitore Offer

It's no biggie. Just helping out some critters :)

How did I miss this Mike? It really warms my heart reading this and what a wonderful thing to do! My hats off to you!

Sounds great, yet I caution you to ask for some type of follow up on the particular animal. From many years of rescue work I have found the need to check things out when possible. Kudos to you for caring so much!!! Some critter out there is always in need of help. Not enough good folks to go around!!:colbert2:

aww summer time makes everyone so damn sweet!

Ive even did some registration to start volunteering at my citys humane society and have also started gathering items to take to a No Kill cat shelter!yay!!
Got some liter, some food, some bathroom rugs, an old cat bed and ive even posted a friendly note up at work to see if anyone wants to join me!
the cat shelter is soley run on donations and the women and men that run it are sweet as pie!

God bless all you rescue people as well as you donators!!

That is soooooooo loving Mike!!! :hug:


After being here on this site a while, and some ideas from you fantastic members, I've been starting the networking to get my name out as a snakey rescue. I don't have room for the giants, and even after college experience, I don't have the set up or want hots, but my leaving my phone number at the local pet store is how I got Freddie. :D :carrot:

And yesterday when getting cat food, I posted at PetCo on their BB. I'm even going to talk to my sister about some simple business cards and a website. :)



What you're doing is just AWESOME and kind!! The world definitely needs more fantastic peoples like YOU. :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the kind words! Unfortunately there is people who think I'm foolish for doing this. Yeah, it's a lil crazy for sending money out to people who I don't know. But you know what? These poor creatures don't get any respect or love. I live for this kind of flack from people! I love to look at people and give em the finger and say to them, what would you rather do when you die? Look back and say "Wow, I saved a lot of money for being a heartless stingy (censored)!". I'd rather look back and say "I had the funds to help out when I could and not turn my cheek and not listen to those who cannot speak to us. Just because they slither, walk on all fours or hop doesnt mean the dont bleed, hurt, or fear the hand that feeds them.". Life is measured by those who you have helped. Not those who you said "Sorry, I need this 5.00 for an emergency.". Well? isn't helping out a badly injured or hungry creature an emergency?


I do this out of personal experience. Growing up I was, and still pretty much am a loner and had to grow up and shape myself to be what I know I had to be. Knowing this, I know that I can help the people who go out of their way to help creatures who get a bad wrap, and it's sad because you hear people say "Oh that poor dog!" ... You hardly hear "Oh that poor snake!" ... I usually hear from people "It's just a snake ... snakes are mean!". Yeah? Just a snake huh? Well, how 'bout we imagine a world without snakes? Hmmm, we got a nasty rodent problem, which leads to nasty break outs of disease from an overgrwoing amount of rodent filth. These poor creatures can't choose their families. But, we can choose to help them have a better life. So as long as I can, I'll help out any way possible!

Mike the sad fact of life is sometimes when we offer to help, whether it's financial or otherwise, we'll get burned or taken advantage of. For me anyways, that's not a reason to stop trying to help, to stop believing in the basic goodness of humanity. I'll take the occasional con job, might feel like crap or a sucker for awhile, but then something always happens to make me believe that it's always right for me to be a "pollyanna". I might wear a pair of rose colored glasses but better that than dark shades that keep away whatever is bright in this world.

Your offer is a fine and decent one Mike. Don't let the naysayers make you doubt yourself. Yes, of course, you should be careful with your hard earned funds but hey in the end....it's your cash bud! Hey there's folks that burn $75.00 or way more every weekend at the local bar and have nothing to show from it but a headache the next morning. You care and you're trying to help and for that you deserve a lot of credit.

Yeah, the world goes round and round 'cause of conflict. However, it's ok. You can't worry your whole life about what bad could come of you. You have to sometimes think if they benefit, then it's worth it.

Friendly bump

Yes, I'm still doing this. Sorry I haven't been around much. :)

Friendly bump 'cause it's almost that time o' the month. Btw, yes Smulkin I'm still grim and frost bitten :D
