    Yeah, as a waiter myself, if you're going to do that - you need to get it right. Customers notice that kind of thing.

        Example: In 2014, Christmas is on Thursday. Next year it will be on Friday, it just moves one day in a common year. In a leap year like 2016? It skips Saturday and is on Sunday, the leap. Yes, you added a day to the calendar, but that's not why it's called leap year.
        lol, things would've been so much easier if we had 13 months and every month just had 28 days.

            No it wouldn't. A year is 365.25 days. Now you made a year that is 364 days, not even 365. A different calendar wouldn't change how long it takes to go around the sun.

                People who put their dog up for sale.

                I don't think dogs should be treated like an item. They truly are man's best friend. I just saw a lady trying to get $125 for her dog. If you cared about the dog you would only be concerned with it finding a good home... not getting money. With that being said, the best dogs we ever had were free, strays, or adopted. That's the only way I'm paying for a dog, which would also be supporting an organization trying to find them a home.

                    Agreed with this. I have known people who have sold their dogs because they move to a place that doesn't allow dogs or the dog causes too much damage at their house...

                    One of my dogs (a pug) is from someone who just didn't want him anymore. I couldn't imagine giving up my dogs like that... I am too attached to them. The pug (name is Taz for obvious reasons) has turned out to be a great dog and loves my daughter...

                      Speaking of dogs...

                      I can't stand it when people judge you for really caring about dogs rights. They make a snarky comment like "it's just a dog I bet you care more about that than people"

                      Dogs personify innocence and what is good and I can't stand seeing one hurt/injured/treated poorly.

                        And they'd be right if they were talking about me.

                          I will definitely care more about my dog than you. Is that even a question?

                          One lives with me. Provides love and companionship. And follows me wherever I go. You're none of those things.

                              Well if there's a youtube video of dogs being mistreated it really gets me teared up. Dogs laying on the graves of their deceased owners? Forget about it my eyes instantly tear up.

                              I've seen dogs that were shot and it was difficult to hold back tears. I've seen a stray or two with a broken jaw running in the street and it was hard to look at.

                              Nothing else really tugs at my heart strings like dogs outside of my own family & friends.

                                I miss my dogs as much, if not more than some of my family.
