Add me and da kids to the list of folks who are thrilled to see Bob Church return to the list. All forms of communication are a means of education and that includes debates. One of the beautiful features of our friend da puter is the scroll key. This enables the user to scroll in one direction or the other to pass over posts that may not be of interest. I have never found Bob to be intimidating. We can only hope to gain knowledge through what he shares. As individuals, the information is presented to us and we then decide what we will keep and what we will toss away when it comes to caring for our babies. This is true of every aspect of caring for our ferret from the litter they poop in to veterinary care, herbs and alternative healing. It really irks me to see people bashing the alternative health care methods. Who is to say that traditional medicine is always the best? And what exactly do you think "standard" medicines are prepared from? A: Plants and herbs. You're only cheating your animals by closing yo ur minds folks. OK, I'm off my tangent now. I guess I "went there" because I met a new friend this weekend at the BFC ferret show. She does Reiki healing. We discussed this practice and I find it completely fascinating. Powers of the mind and positive energies are not given enough credit. One of the things I've always loved about the FML is the combination of input. Here you can find all the cute stuff, wonderful ferret folks and education. Let's try to be more tolerant of the education that folks contribute to this list.
