Thanks for the advice. I just get freaked at odd times.

askye, it's very normal for people taking Coumadin to bleed longer if they cut themselves. What should NEVER happen, though, is for bleeding to occur spontaneously, without a noticeable cut.
So, if he's too stubborn to get his levels checked (which he really should, but it's not like you can physically restrain him and take him to the doctor against his will), at least get a promise from him that if he starts to get nosebleeds for no reason or ever notices that the whites of his eyes are red, he'll get to the hospital right away.
ETA that elevated Coumadin levels aren't going to create a hemophiliac-like condition in him, so you don't have to worry that a small cut is going to result in him bleeding to death.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
The cats have now convinced Dan's mother that they are being deliberately starved to death, and have never been fed. I don't know if they have asked her to stage an intervention or just call the Animal Cops.

Animals are such drama queens, aren't they? "I've never been fed! EVER! I'm so weak from hunger that I can barely meow at you! Please, just a scrap!!!"
And, "Pet me pet me pet me rub my tummmmmmmmy!!! NO ONE EVER PETS ME!!! I'm so deprived!!! Dear god, pet meeeeeeee!!!"
Drama queens.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
"Pet me pet me pet me rub my tummmmmmmmy!!! NO ONE EVER PETS ME!!! I'm so deprived!!! Dear god, pet meeeeeeee!!!"
Oh, yes. And all to often this is followed by a kitty's jaws clamped around one's wrist for daring to pet said kitty on the tummy as asked.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Uh, yeah, 'cause its the cats we'd be watching if we did.

Dogs do the same damn thing, though. My mom's dog acts like he's never even SEEN a food dish before, let alone dog food. And of course NO ONE ever plays with him, the poor neglected thing, woe is he.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Of course, there are many dogs that I'm willing to believe have genuinely forgotten that this has ever happened to them before.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Whenever I have guests over, Ozzie the cat tries to convince them I abuse him.
Of course, then he sits on them and loses any sympathy he might have built up.
