This guy can't be topping 30 and thinking that's okay! I've been busy with personal issues, so haven't been keeping up, but for pete's sake! When you're on a constant beggathon, you've just got to open your eyes to reality some day!!!! And for heaven's sake, 30 horses on under 3 acres is completely crazy, but to place even more on there is just, well, I don't even have the words!!!! When will this hoarding end? And more important, when will the enablers see how they are adding to the problem? Jim can't do the damage on his own-he has to have help! I really think that the goal for 2010 should be to have each and every Rescue licensed. I believe it's the only way to shut the hoarders down, or at least contain them! God, my stomache hurts, and it's not from lack of my morning Cup-O-Soup! I feel like screaming!RH2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981780833943704182.post-13793480788174903872009-12-22T09:39:09.905-05:002009-12-22T09:39:09.905-05:00WEll as Jim eats his beef steak or Cup-O-Soup or w...WEll as Jim eats his beef steak or Cup-O-Soup or whatever on his less then 3arc. dust pit.. with his 30 head of horses.. he comes up with a new one... "Lets bring in three.. yes THREE more head" because you and I both know that he has so much room that there is pasture going unused...<br />WHAT DOES THAT MAN USE AS A BRAIN??? or does he?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981780833943704182.post-23965111854884607882009-12-13T11:54:44.613-05:002009-12-13T11:54:44.613-05:00Ahhhh-but he is doing it out of love while teachin...Ahhhh-but he is doing it out of love while teaching them a moral lesson by living out a fable-at least I think that's the story! Sounds better than lying to get money to care for horses you can't afford and probably shouldn't have taken in in the first place. And no, I don't hate Jim, nor do I need to call him on the phone and ask him why he has so many horses on so little land, or why he lies. Those are questions he should perhaps ask himself every morning before he heats up that tea kettle for the allegoric Cup-O-Soup.RH2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981780833943704182.post-43004255965104094372009-12-13T10:42:17.728-05:002009-12-13T10:42:17.728-05:00Your so right.

I'm glad I just taught my kids (human ones not to be confused with Jim's "four legged") to say "I lied". It's easier, and made them better men. I just wonder how much Jim B.S. the thong club will believe. Well, no, I'm really not. I bet they think Jim truly has a higher purpose, and has a moral truth to teach us. I've already fugured it out. If you tell a good story to people who for whatever reason feel lonely, unaccepted, or unwanted, they'll send in the cash just to feel part of something. Jim's willing to tell the story to get the cash.

It see...Well, in fairness to Jim, I need to update. It seems Jim has written in his blog that the Cuo-O-Soup story is in fact, an Allegory. For those of us not as intelligent as jim-and he feels very few are, an Allegory is, by definition: "A story or narrative, as a fable, in which a moral principle or truth is presented by means of fictional characters, events, etc." One occupying a lower station in life than Jim would probably simply be called a liar, but I digress. What moral principle or truth Jim wishes to teach us by letting his loyal FOTM's think that he does indeed exist on a diet of Cup-O-Soup remains to be revealed, I suppose. Do the ladies now feel just a little silly? Maybe not. Perhaps they will just be lifted to a higher moral plane in followoing the way of Jim. Or maybe they'll just think he lies.
