oh! me too! I simply cannot/willnot watch those commercials. I am a long time supporter of the ASPCA and donate to my local shelter. All my animals are rescue, and so forth, but I simply cannot watch that. I am impressed that they are allowed to put it on channels where children are watching kids shows, and then they see hungry, beaten, abused kitties, and scream "mom! we have to go get a kitten!"

I sometimes envy my g/fs that are able to sniffle away at sad movies, or emotional events, but then other times, I am just fine with being the stong girl I am. I do feel sad, I do feel emotional, but the tears have never been part of the make up of who I am. My mother is the same way, I think in the last 47 years I have seen her cry less than 5 times.

My ex MIL was quite different, and I was always amazed at how easily she could flip over and sob. She would cry at a good white sale at JCP. She would cry at the news, cry at movies, cry when hearing bad news about people she didnt know. If I had to pick an extreme, I would rather stay dry. Of course, she wasnt my fav person in the world either, so I never made any attempt to get to know her better.
