    Why don’t you go back to the ealier ones…the ones that were the real street beats.

    As far as saying that some are bad poets, that’s a personal judgement. I might equate that to any criticism. I know that if I read a review of an album by some critics, I know right away that I won’t enjoy listening to it because that person’s taste in music is not the same as mine.

    I was going to reply something in a similar vein. Elvis Presley and how he stole black beats without giving credis, and they became his hits…etc. … etc. … is a prime example of such appropriation…and how it was so “original” whan he did it… Oh… Oh. I said appropriation, that might get some people hot under the collar….

    Yes, it is true, that no matter when and where: when we took our dog for a walk, or when we had new people over, the first question was about her age…

    BTW, our dogs were trained to always wait to be greeted and they never jumped at people which was another thing that surprised our new guests, as our family and relatives knew that our dogs were trained. For example, when we had people over, the dog would sit and wait to be greeted. The person said: “Hi Dolly.” and the dog would give them her paw and then she would go to her place by the fireplace. Some people were wary when then came over for the first time because they would have heard a bark or two from our dogs to let us know that someone was at the door even before they rang the bell. But the dog disarmed them right away because she didn’t jump at them. So we told the visitor about our routine and all was well.

    Is “rap” considered music?

    Rap is a primary ingredient of hip-hop music, and it is associated with the genre which is called “rap music”.

    I would suggest listening to some rap music, just to get the gist of it, and if you have any background in literature and music you will immediately discern that, in style, rap music is like a ballad and an elegy.

    Our dogs never ate at such a speed. One was an Eskie, and the other one was a Welshie. They both would take out two of three pieces and put them beside the bowl and then eat them. It took them longer than half an hour to finish their meals. They both were so dainty about all food and drink. With the water, they took one sip at a time. I described how they ate to the vet, and she said that it was perfectly normal for those breeds.

    She had dogs that were in commercials and she told me that for commercials they smear bacon fat on the bottom of the bowl to make the dog root to the bottom of that bowl, so you don’t really see that the dog actually eats that dog food…and I did notice that after she told me. For commercials they try to have as many as five or more dogs that look somewhat alike, so that they can use the best takes when editing…

    Speaking of food: a bit of trivia from another friend who acts in a lot of commercials: as far as eating the food, people who are in commercials for food never actually eat that food either. If you notice the food is right in front of their face and they pretend to bite or slurp it…

    Not to brag, but….I bought a complete sewing machine (still in its box), from Salvation Army for $25.00… At home later, I checked on line, and that model number sells for over $250.00 in the store.

    So for all we know, her mom might be such a shopper too…
