i getting a puppy for the child im getting someday
It is generally agreed that the Whippet as we know it today developed in Northern England during the mid to late 19th century.
Greyhounds were crossed with small terriers, (including possibly the Bedlington Terrier), to produce a small, swift hound capable of hunting rabbits and other small game. During this era, the whippet belonged mainly to the working class people of England. These were factory and mine workers in Northern towns near Manchester and Liverpool, who worked hard and lived simple lives.
Because of this, the whippet became known as the "poor man's greyhound," or the "poor man's race horse." During non-working days, owners raced their whippets in fields and on town roads. These races became known as "rag races," probably because a piece of cloth was used as a lure. The dogs typically ran a straight 200 yard track.
The American Kennel Club first registered a whippet in 1888. The dog was named Jack Dempsey, and was born September 23, 1885. He was bred by P. H. Hoffman of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The Whippet was first recognized as a registerable breed in England in 1891, when it was recognized by the Kennel Club of England.
Today, Whippets are the most popular of the hound breeds at dog shows. Their size, short coat, and agreeable temperament make them the perfect family pet. Organized activities for Whippets and their families can be found in most areas, and include lure coursing, straight racing, flyball, agility matches, and of course, obedience training. Whippets are independent thinkers, and many of them find obedience training to be somewhat beneath them. But those who do enjoy it have excelled, and there are quite a few Whippets who have earned obedience championships.
Notes on the origin of the word "whippet."
The word "whippet" comes originally from the latin "via" meaning "a road, a street, a path, or way."
Because "via" meant a road or a path upon which people traveled, the words eventually were associated with movement, traveling, or quickness. Some other words derived from "via" are "vibrate," vibrant," "whip," "viper," "wiper," "wife," and "whiplash."
The word "whip" probably derives from the Middle English "whippen" or "wippen," meaning "to whip." "To whip" has such derivative meanings as "to move smartly, quickly or nimbly," hence the quick moving and lively dog, "the Whippet."
all dogs need exercise and I would think a whippet would need a good deal since they are related to greyhounds.

in that off season color which says you aren't afraid to take the risk because
after all you are the first to have that bag...WHERE did YOU GET IT?
how can you afford it when you can't even get lunch...
with every compliment on the bag you remind yourself that no money
equals no lunch so you don't have to feel as bad about the office bagel
the cream cheese was light right
and maybe they;ll focus on the brave bag color choice instead of the clashing
extra chin you notice forming in the mirror today when you were trimming
not your face...god no...that is always clean shaven

amy's advice
Dear Amy,
I’m contemplating making the switch from calling my adopted father by his first name, Gerald, to the more affectionate Dad. The problem is, Gerald and Winona (my mother) have always subscribed to the alternative family practice of having their kids address them by their first names. How do I show that I’ve finally accepted my adopted father as family without offending his New Age sensibilities?
Quincy Magnus
Santa Fe, N.M.
Dear Quincy,
Here is what I suggest. First, go into your room, dim the incandescents, and light some candles. Next, scatter some crystals about as a source of healing and energy. Put something soft and ambient on the phonograph, like a tranquility sampler or indigenous music with light chanting. Oh yeah, that’s nice. Get out the tarot cards and give yourself a quick reading. OK, you’re ready. Invite your mom and fake dad into the room and shout, in a Jim Morrison baritone rumble, “Father, I want to kill you! Mother, I want to fuck you!” Do you see what I’m getting at? Why would one explore an Oedipus complex with an adoptive parent? He will have to think you mean it. Yeah, it’s a long shot, but file it under “so crazy it just might work.”

Dear Amy,
Why isn’t anyone worried about me?
An Inquiring Mom
Readfield, Maine
P. S.: I asked this question of my daughter just minutes ago, and she suggested your column as a place to air my concerns about myself.
Dear Mom,
This is a tough one. I wish I could say that nobody is worried about you because you are so well grounded and capable, but we both know deep in our hearts that that is a lie. It’s pretty clear that you are a train on the verge of derailment. You are a speeding vehicle and the wheels have come off. So why doesn’t anybody care? Could it be that your existence barely registers as a blip on the human awareness scale? As Occam’s Razor states, the simplest explanation is the preferred one. I suppose a better question to consider than “Why isn’t anyone worried about me?” might be “How can I exact a horrible revenge on my thoughtless offspring?” There’s a question I can sink my fangs into.
Amy
i finally get to say what NEEDED to be said...
to say the bad things that we are all thinking, but afraid to say
"...AND IM THE ONE WHO's CRAZY!" as a joke that came out too face
misplaced anger at non- "lazy moments"
american's are always worried about fat and won't touch creme...
of course they're the ones who are always eating CHOCOLATE!
"'what an asshole'...as i hid my one lb. bag of m&ms for later..."
i don't deal with people on a daily basis who ask me what "GRANDE" is!
its not ME...
its THEIR fault i'm unhappy
i'm just having the reaction that any smart-WORKER
I want him to do more "lazy" like things worthy of any hard working person's contempt
dish out more mediocre food
just be worse
the blessed relief that PREJUDICE brings
im just having the reaction any smart person would have...
i'm inherently lazy
give yourself over to hate

what movie gots buffy the vampire slayer and ryan philpe?
not dangerous liasions..anyway "we (women) are abliged (incented) to be far more creative than men...you can destroy us with a few simple well-chosen words"
the outgroup can only survive if it learns the ingroups incentives FROM A PERSPECTIVE OF BELOWNESS...that makes them able to look at, say marriage, which the ingroup takes for granted...even resents...and figure out how those in the outgroup can get it. WE women are ABLIGED to be far more creative...and really, why would the ingroup, who truely hates their marriage be incented to deny it to an outgroup member?'
maybe the mere idea that the outgroup would take their scraps, COULD take their scraps and make something more beautiful, maybe improve on it (see: cinderella's ball gown) to grant the outgroup access to that would be an embarassement, not a levelign of the playing field, but a SPECIAL RIGHT to something better than what the ingroup has, which it takes for granted.
so i learned how to type and now i write things in academic english, two things i take for granted but MOST of the outgroup study to achieve. im incented to learn the language of the powerful so i can impress them into forgetting that i am a threat. im abliged to be far more creative...i prize their scraps as my ticket into their world knowing that if i get in then i have to be perfect so i don't get booted before i have the chance to SECURE my place, that is if i don't get so depressed by the process that i become bound to the only affordable relief in the anti-depressant of the masses: cheap booze, cheap-sugary food, pills, TV, etc..ALL of which are really depressants...
lots of pitfalls that the ingroup suffers, too, albeiet less frequently and with much more power and money to rescue and rehabilitate them...but now im whining...
you get the point, maybe, if you forgive my imperfect spelling, grammer...all the things that seal my credibilty iwht the powerful but alienate those i seek to amplify....
...press DEBIT or CREDIT...

I'm like, "Excuse me, seen-YOUR, i know some big words, too, like SEXUAL HARASSMENT and LAWSUIT."

homosexual professionals...
“You’ll have a better chance at tenure if you’re a homosexual professional than if you’re a professional homosexual.”
Yale law professor Kenji Yoshino, relating advice he received when he began teaching at the school in 1998, on why he should avoid “mesearch” — research based on an academic’s minority status (New York Times Magazine, Jan. 15)
kenji yoshino's COVERING
Religious Covering
Although they are often pitted against each other, religionists and gays share a special bond. Like gays, religious minorities have been subjected to all three demands for assimilation -- conversion, passing, and covering. When Mormons led the charge against same-sex marriage in Hawaii in the 1990s, I was struck by how I could retell the history of Mormonism as I have retold the history of gays -- as a movement from coerced conversion, through passing, toward covering. In the nineteenth century, Mormons were forced to convert their religion by repudiating the practice of polygamy. Those who refused -- self-described Mormon fundamentalists cast off by the Mormon church -- went underground, practicing plural marriage in a form of “Don’t ask, don’t tell.” More recently, authorities have turned a blind eye to polygamists who cover, reserving prosecutions for flaunters.
In the new millennium, many religious minorities are entering their covering phase. For many American Jews, the question has shifted from whether they should convert or pass to whether they are “Too Jewish?” -- the title of a museum exhibit that traveled the nation in 1997. Riv-Ellen Prell describes women who straighten their noses or hair to achieve a “Queen Elizabeth exterior” while retaining a “Jewish heart.” Abraham Korman recounts how Jewish men in corporate settings must “give up many of the symbolic behaviors that tie them to their Jewish heritage,” with the yarmulke having “particular significance as a symbol to be avoided.” Academics like Phyllis Chesler describe how Jews are sanctioned for writing on Jewish topics. And journalism professor Samuel Freedman notes in his book Jew vs. Jew that American Jews are increasingly breaking apart based on whether their primary associations are with gentiles or other Jews.
In the United States today, Muslims are the most visible targets of the religious covering demand. Soon after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, an article was published about Muslims in New York City. It reads like a covering ethnography. The piece reports that Muslim private schools are telling children to conceal “any religious emblems,” and that “some Muslim leaders are discussing plans for women to change the way they dress, perhaps exchanging headscarves for hats and turtleneck pullovers.” It depicts a woman who, “a day after the attack, arrived at a New York City Health Department office demanding bureaucrats change her son’s surname from ‘Mohammed’ to ‘Smith.’” The article also observes that “neighborhoods in New York where you were more likely to see Egyptian, Jordanian, or Syrian flags . . . are now covered in American flags, their Middle Eastern flags discreetly hidden for the time being. Finally, it notes that some Middle Easterners have confessed that they would be happy now to be mistaken for either Hispanics or African Americans.
Significant cases in which religious minorities who resisted the covering demand lost in court include Goldman v. Weinberger (1986), which concerned a Jewish Air Force officer and rabbi who was threatened with a court martial for failing to remove his yarmulke, and Employment Division v. Smith (1990), in which members of a Native American Church were denied unemployment benefits because they had smoked peyote for sacramental purposes.

Those with unlimited healthcare access who say we cant find a way for universal healthcare
those who don't need education to be powerful and tell us we don't need it either
every business that would collapse if we didn't mold the newest ones of us into scared, infighting, resouce deprived, separate and unequal, unhealthy, self-hating...blah blah blahs
those who never had to pull themselves up because they were born lifted high on stacks of daddy's money

those who say theyre helping us self-help our way to self-blame
people who make us feel shitty about ourselves in new ways to fit new products
those who subtly teach that caring what others think is over by giving us something else to worry about:
