"She Rescues Dogs"
I went to a house warming party the other day.
A friend-of-friend invited me and I took a friend with me who hadn't got out of the house much since she had her baby.
The room was full of people - some who I knew, but many that I didn't.
I heard one of my friends speaking to a couple and then she pointed a me and said, "She rescues dogs."
.
In my mind, that is not a bad way to be introduced, labeled or talked about.

I guess it's better for you than the way I think of you ('the crazy lady with an illegal stock pile of guns and ammo in her mexican house")

"Crazy Lady"?
That subject is open to interpretation and debate. Your judgement is your own.
"Illegal stockpile of guns" - Dead wrong. Our firearms are licensed byand registered with the federal military authority; we are 100% in compliance
with the law.

A joke in honor of people who rescue animals
A local business was looking for office help. They put a sign in the window, that read:
"HELP WANTED. Must be able to type, must be good with a computer and must be bilingual. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer."
A short time afterwards, a dog trotted up to the window, saw the sign and went inside. He looked at the receptionist and wagged his tail, then walked
over to the sign, looked at it and whined.
Getting the idea, the receptionist got the office manager. The office manager looked at the dog and was surprised, to say the least. However, the dog
looked determined, so he lead him into the office. Inside, the dog jumped up on the chair and stared at the manager.
The manager said, "I can’t hire you. The sign says you have to be able to type." The dog jumped down, went to the typewriter and proceeded to type out
a perfect letter. He took out the page and trotted over to the manager and gave it to him, then jumped back on the chair. The manager was stunned, but
then told the dog, "The sign says you have to be good with a computer."
The dog jumped down again and went to the computer. The dog proceeded to demonstrate his expertise with various programs and produced a sample
spreadsheet and database and presented them to the manager. By this time the manager was totally dumb-founded! He looked at the dog and said, "I
realize that you are a very intelligent dog and have some interesting abilities. However, I *still* can’t give you the job."
The dog jumped down and went to a copy of the sign and put his paw on the sentences that told about being an Equal Opportunity Employer. The manager
said, "Yes, but the sign *also* says that you have to be bilingual."
The dog looked at him straight in the face and said, "Meow."

BTW and Probably Apropos of Nothing
I rescue cats, as well.

Looking Forward to Meeting You
I am pretty easy to find - I sit at my card table with some beautiful costume jewelry for sale.
The swap meet is amazingly popular - by 10:00 am you can't find a parking place in the lot.
