I had thought about doing obedience trials with our Lab, but at the time D19 was playing select soccer on a highly competitive team. They won Ohio State Cup 3 times, were runners up 2 years and finished in the semi finals almost every other year. We traveled to PDA in New Jersey, Busch in St Louis, Chicago, Richmond Virginia for tournaments. They were invited to the Disney Invitational. They were ranked 15 in the nation and 2 in our region at one time. Needless to say that took a lot of time we couldn't put to the dog. Her team coaches were N KY University's coaches, so a lot of good training.

I'm pretty good at shooting people, I'm better if it is a candid shot rather than a set up shot. For his wedding present I shot my brothers wedding. I have had people say I could do that on the side, but that would involve Fri and Sat nights. I'd rather spend that time with family. I did get good shots when kids played soccer and I wasn't coaching. Parents on high school teams asked my to take shots of their kids for them. I got some good action photos. That was with film, wished they had digital then wouldn't have wasted so much film, just delete what you don't want.

I got your post, it's on your thread. Thanks, I'm going to get an appt with my C and see if she can recommend someone who is pro-marriage.

I don't know why they tend to spawn after feeding on live food, maybe it is working on catching their food like in the wild. I didn't have to do it all the time, but if a breeding pair hadn't spawned in a while it would get them started again. When I bred those ultra jet black veil angels, I had a aquatic store that would Buy everything I had. Several members of aquatic societies would contact me to by my better fish from me. It was a lot of work keeping tanks clean and raising the fry.

How's your sitch with H? Is he still with OW? It seems ihe is drawing closer to you, being friendlier. How's your health, is it something that is improving? I know how expensive medical bills can be. My bills have totaled over $100k so far. I'm lucky to have great insurance. All I have to pay is a $300 deductible per year with no co-pays except for prescription drugs, and it is all paid by my employer.

Hope things with H are moving forward.

Mike
