I'm also disgusted at what appeared on this page. Whoever is responsible, I ask you: 1- Why/How did you acquire this pic in the first place? It's an old pic. Were you having fun at the time, thought it was a cute pic (after all, you *did* save it), & only *recently* decided to use it as "ammo" against Barb, for whatever personal reasons you've developed since the pic was taken? 2- What's the significance of the timing of this pic showing up? It's a well-known fact that the people who dislike Barb *always* pull this garbage out in the wks leading up to Ferretstock & Oktoberfest. It seems as though someone (as in a group of people, not necessarily just one person) thinks that pulling a childish stunt like this will hurt Barb & her wonderful fundraising events. News flash: It hasn't hurt Barb, the shelter, or her events one single bit. I've been to 2 Ferretstocks & 2 Oktoberfests, & each event just gets better & better. Fun, food, friends, raffles, silent auctions, silliness, great music, ferrets finding new Forever Families....& oh yeah, did I mention friends? I've yet to see a single person not made to feel welcome there. All in a beautiful piece of country, away from the hustle & bustle of the city, w/ a roaring bonfire to boot. It's quite a distance for me to travel, but I try to make it to at least one event per yr (I didn't make it to Oktoberfest this yr, but I did go to Ferretstock). Drinking? Yeah, there's stuff to drink. Personally, I stick to Pepsi, although I'll have one beer during the evening. I've yet to see anyone held down against their will & forced to drink. I've yet to see anyone get rip-snorting out-of-control drunk. And I've most *certainly* never seen alcohol given to a minor. What I *have* seen is a huge group of friends, old & new, getting together for a good time to raise money for a worthy cause. So, the people doing this stuff should just give it up already. It doesn't work, it doesn't change how *anyone* feels, & it's 3rd grade stuff that gets very tiresome after awhile. Barb does wonderful work, & the posting of old nonsense like this doesn't change that fact. It just shows how petty the people who posted it can be. Just my 2 cents...
