Right now my wife and I are living in this nice house in Tucson. She rented it when I was in Iraq back in April. Basically since the moment she started to live here the owner has had it out for us. When I was over in Iraq he was trying to make my wife get evicted, basically because he didn't like us having dogs even-though we put that we had dogs on our lease agreement. He came over in early June w/o our permission and didn't like how the backyard looked. My wife wasn't really good at taking care of all the plants in the yard and it was getting over grown. Also he didn't like how we had some dog shit in the backyard. So the rental company did a less than 24hrs notice on my wife for a house inspection. She passed thank god. Also during a meeting the rental company basically admitted the owner wanted us out, but wouldn't let us out of the lease w/o an eviction. During the next five months the owner has came over w/o our knowledge. Also someone was coming into our house and moved things around to freak out my wife because they knew I was over in Iraq.
I came home in September and since then the owner has came on to the property at least once since I been back. When he was here he turned off the sprinkler system w/o our knowledge and his plants started to die in the backyard. Know I hear he wants us to pay for the plants. Luckily we do have proof he turned off the sprinkler system. The bad thing I am going to Lackland for awhile to do training and my wife is going to be here all alone to deal with this mess. She doesn't deserve this mess. She is freaked out about being alone in the house because of the owner coming over without our permission. Luckily she has someone coming down while I am gone. I will be praying that this situation works out. Thank god we are moving on base. The sad thing is that if the owner was working with us and was being shady about the whole situation I would have done anything he needed to help take care of the plants.
Now fuck him. I rather pay thousands of dollars on a lawyer fighting this guy and pay him thousands for this stupid plants. I wish this was the old west. Back then if you had a problem with someone you just went out in the street and had a shootout.

Animal Testing
Original Post Date: Nov 23, 2005
The majority of consumer products that are produced don't need to be tested. It is not even mandated by US law. Like I said in my previous post, Everything I buy isn't tested on animals. My toothpaste, deodorant, household cleaning supplies, soaps, etc...etc.... Even the cigarettes that my wife smokes aren't tested on animals. Testing on animals is a cruel and completely unnecessary in today's society. The Govn't only really mandates animal testing on medicines, and drugs.
As for eating animals, I really don't see that going away anytime soon. Even-though when I tried to be a vegetarian I felt healthier. My doctor said my cholesterol was the lowest he has seen in years. We don't however need to abuse and basically torture the animals we are going to consume. My past relatives in Indiana owned farms and had livestock. They treated the animals like a pet all the way up until it was time to kill them. There should be laws banning cruel torture to the animals we consume.
My wife is an animal rights activist and support humane treatment of ALL animals. No matter how "ugly" they are. Where people distance themselves from the killing part of eating animals. If you couldn't yourself kill an animal and watch it get slaughtered you really shouldn't eat animals. Also if you couldn't walk to a dog farm in China, or Korea you shouldn't wear Nike's, or any leather that is made in over in that region.
Like I said above. I do eat animals. My biggest problem are the way big corporations treat the animals before they kill them. Also the needless testing (and I used that world lightly, it's more like torture) animals for no reason in research labs for consumer products
