I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

vw doesn't suck at all. That letter was fantastic.

S and I just had a wee bit of a nap curled up next to each other.

So cute!

Well, here it is at 7:20 on a Saturday night and where am I? Go, on guess...

WORK. Dammit. I've been here all afternoon/early evening, and I'll need to come back tomorrow. This blows.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Beth B or Betsy, do you know of any vets in our area that might be open on Sunday?

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Hi. Quick drive-by to say that Nora sends her regards. Her back complains vociferously if she comes near the computer, so she can't post.

However, I done gone bought her a heating pad and she's resting up nicely. The back is definitely improving. Hopefully it will survive our road trip to Pennsylvania.

You may now continue about your business. Ta ta.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Thanks for the update, Tom. Good man, taking care of her!

Back-ma for the trip!

Your tag here.

Or maybe I can find a good one that runs on 220v/50 cycles...the ones I've seen here are kinda cheap and expensive, but Miele might have one.

Raq, here's Braun's global site (i.e. 220 V appliances), with stick blenders like the one ita has:

Hopefully with the model numbers, you can find something simliar through your own outlets.

vw, after the week you've had too tired to cook is not particularly sucky. that dyson guy would become obsessed, frankly, and try and make you suck more-- that's how little you suck.

Thanks Beth. I found one over here in San Mateo (North Peninsula Emergency Veterinary Clinic), but I would love to get some info about quality.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

well, what I can say about the one here is that they took x-rays of percy with out putting him under. very impressive , because his regular vet can't do that.

That is impressive. I'm not sure I am going to be able to get Ozzie in a crate without bloodshed, but since he still hisses at me when I get within 5 feet, I may need to try.
