i agree that this phenomenon is becoming rampant in our society; i went to wal*mart to buy a skil saw for a project i was doing for my sister (figured i needed one now anyway, i'm 26). i got home, and opened the box to find a HEAVILY USED saw! it was all roughed up on the bottom, the blade was bent with all the paint/lettering gone, and the plug was melted! i took it back and exchanged it, RIGHTFULLY, but whomever did before is totally abusing the system! when I parked the impala on my wife's zebco, i didn't take it back to scheels!

hey man i know how you feel. my wife's mom 'n' dad have a rat terrier/italian greyhound mix who is 12. he has really advanced cataracts, arthritis, and is effectively deaf. my wife grew up with the little guy and now he's not long for this world. it bothered us for a while when we thought about it, but you're right - enjoy what time you have him now, don't dwell on the inevitable. everything on this earth is temporary. make of it the best you can. peace. bassn00b
