wow those are expensive! or maybe I'm just cheap

So, how was everyone's 4th?

awww how sad

It can be a pain sometimes, but I enter that area from the north so it's not a big deal That intersection right off the freeway can be a mess though!

Nope, I have better things to spend my money on.

Am I going to hell for that?

"Would you like some candy?"

HTH!

I got this from http://www.ab1634.com/

Should AB 1634 be enacted, the effects will likely be:

    * Shelter euthanasia will increase for a few years as people give up their pets they can’t afford to spay or neuter
   
    * Licensing rates and Vaccinations will decrease as people “hide” from the legislation,
   
    * Revenue from licensing and vaccination programs will decline
   
    * Small breeders will vanish from the open market immediately to save their breeds from extinction in California
   
    * Dog and Cat shows and events will fade away, taking with them with the significant tourism revenue generated by these events
   
    * Commercial breeding, puppy smuggling from abroad will increase resulting in unhealthy, poor quality pet populations
   
    * Enforcement of this law is impractical so accidental litter rates will decline only slowly
   
    * Feral cat populations will be largely unaffected

Reasons for Opposition
Health Considerations of Our Animals

AB 1634 does not address the health considerations associated with spaying and neutering animals at an early age, especially affecting the long-term health of working breeds or any dog (purebred or mixed breed) that participates in working or athletic events.

    * Orthopedic Considerations: abnormal bone growth due to lack of sex hormones;  lower bone density due to lack of sex hormones; increase incidence of CCL rupture; increased incidence of hip
      dysplasia

    * Cancer Considerations: greater risk for hemangiosarcoma and bone cancers

    * Incontinence Considerations:  in both sexes due to lack of sex hormones, estrogen and testosterone

    * Behavioral Considerations:  increased incidence of fearful behavior and phobias; aggressive behavior

    * Metabolic Considerations: increased risk of hypothyroidism,  acute fatal pancreatitis, diabetes, obesity...

    * Infectious Disease considerations:  increased incidence of infectious disease

    * Surgical Considerations: surgical complications, anesthetic complications pediatrics and geriatrics, cardiac arrhythmias

    * Vaccine Considerations:  increased incidence of adverse reactions to vaccines

I'm really touched by the individual stories like the professor who had survived the Holocaust, moved to the US, taught and cared enough for his students to save their lives. He heard the gun shots getting closer and held the door closed while his students got out through the windows. Unfortunately, he was shot through the door and killed. Then there were the students who baracaded the door with a table and saved everyone in the classroom. The gunman shot through the door, missed, couldn't break in and moved on...... I just wish there was someone there to stop him. As much as I dislike guns myself, I can't help but think that many more lives would have been saved

hey fellow Nato! If you're born in Natomas, I guess you would be a Nato Native, or maybe a Natove?

On October 14, 2006, Bob and Angela Kott celebrated the arrival of their son, Trevor.  On October 15, 2006, the day after he was born, little Trevor was diagnosed with congenital acute myeloid leukemia (AML).   

Although he was initially sent home with no hope, Trevor has bravely recovered from his fourth round of chemotherapy – and while Trevor was clinically in remission after the first round, he experienced a relapse – a return of the cancer after the third round of chemotherapy – confirmed by a bone marrow test on March 5, 2007. Given this relapse, Trevor’s only hope for a medical cure is a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, a bone marrow aspirate done April 3, 2007 revealed that his marrow contained 70 percent cancer cells. He started his fifth round of chemotherapy on April 4th in the hopes of getting him in remission.


On March 15, the doctors advised that no donor has been found.  Trevor’s need is urgent.  His life depends on finding a matched bone marrow donor in the next six to eight weeks.  Would you consider registering as a possible donor to help Trevor or another child like him?   

It’s very easy.   All that is required to register is a simple swab from inside your mouth.  No needles are involved.  Will you take this simple first step to possibly save a life?  Please think about what a huge blessing it would be to the Kott family or any other family with a child suffering from leukemia to have a friend (or stranger) provide such a wonderful gift.   



You can register as a bone marrow donor at your local blood bank (you don’t need to give blood).  To find the nearest location, go to:
http://www.aabb.org/Content/Donate_Blood/Where_to_Donate/

Alternatively, you can go through the National Marrow Donor Program and register:  http://www.marrow.org/HELP/Join_the_Registry/Join_Now/join_now.html?src=text 

Time is short!  Please pick up the phone, go to your local blood center, or visit the National Marrow Donor Program web site today!

On behalf of the Kott family and all leukemia patients -- Thank you for registering – and thank you for your prayers.   More information on Trevor will be posted soon at www.trevorkott.com

thanx! u 2!

OMG I totally missed your reply! Im so sorry!

Most homes in Natomas are newer than those in Land Park and Fair Oaks and it's closer to downtown, which is a good and bad thing IMHO. There are a lot of new businesses in the area, so that's great! But, I've heard some horror stories about people moving in and having bad neighbors because nobody lived there when they bought the house. That's one good thing about older neighborhoods!
