I wonder why that is. In fact, you can never coerce a horse to consume water either, even if you lead him right to it, nor can we instill new abilities in aged canines. Don't these seem to be exceptions to the waiting rule? Hmmm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life can be a waiting game I guess. Well the sun's up and I still don't have everything there is to have. Therefore and thereby I'm gonna strike while the iron's hot. I'm trying to see if it will heat my porridge...no more bacon and eggs for this dude! ;-) ......bob > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
