Wait, are they those Futurama brain worms where you suddenly get all smart and charming and get your life together?
Sorry. I thought they were sour gummy worms so I ate them all.
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Everyone who thinks ND should post a picture of himself holding his Ovation (which also includes a glimpse of my darker hair next to the pretty statue) raise your hand!
Only one hand in the air, but it was waving through over 100 posts of catch-up. That should count extra, right?
Two neat things to share:
My dad is arriving today for a two week visit, and he's fun and great to have around so I'm thrilled!
There was much cleaning in preparation for said visit. One of the major cleaning things I did was spending ages getting cat hair off the couches. Ugh. I then covered the couches with cloths, because the couches themselves are kind of ugly. Then, I sat down on one of the couches and watched a little Buffy for a break (I'm working my way through again, and am now on S2). Rocky, the long-haired crazy oaf of a cat, immediately came over for pets, which is becoming fairly normal for him. Then he started rubbing all over my nice, clean couch! Then he went over and did the same on the other one. Then Freya, the little black cat, followed suit. Within 5 minutes, I had to de-hair the couches all over again!!! Ackpfth!
And responding to other news:
Juliana, it sounds like a rough day, but you can do it and soon you'll be in San Francisco where things will get better.
Crappy, non-birthday celebrating co-workers suck.
New Zealand!!
edited to clarify that not everything is about my dad and the annoying cute cat story.

Our wings are not tired.
Bobby brought home a permission slip to get a free FluMist. Any reason not to do this? I've never had a flu shot since the Swine Flu in the 60's. I'm rather needle phobic. If it were a shot I wouldn't have him do it, but the intranasal thing sounds doable. Anybody do this?

DH had a job interview yesterday, he feels he is overqualified, so that is likely a no go.
He took a test with the Post Office today to be a mechanic for them (I think). It will take at least 6 weeks for test results.
HE NEEDS A JOB NOW!!!
Sorry, had to vent. Please return to your seats and trays to their upright positions.

I've read that they're a good alternative to shots for older kids. If I had the choice of the nasal vaccine, I'd take it.

re: FluMist--whenever I go to the hospital, it's plastered with signs saying that if you've had the FluMist to wear a mask. Apparently there is a risk of infecting others. I'm not sure if that's only if you're dealing with people with challenged immune systems or not, ie, folks in hospitals, or what, so you might want to check that out.

Huh. That would be quite the problem if they are giving it free in the elementary school. Like if half the kids get it will the other half get sick?
Flu has not been an issue for my family, but it is a big deal in the area because we get so many tourists in the winter.
I'll research it some more.

Laura, it looks like only people with compromised immune systems are at risk. It uses a live virus instead of a dead one so there is the chance of catching the flu with this vaccine.
People who may not want the nasal vaccine have:
a breathing or respiratory disorder such as asthma
heart problems or a blood disorder
diabetes or another metabolic disorder
kidney problems
a weakened immune system (or live in the same house as someone with immune problems)

Crap. Thunderstorms and tornado watch tonight. FLURRIES tomorrow. If anyone needs me, I'll be hibernating until spring.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
May I chime in - late, as usual - with the request for a picture of ND in his kilt?
And may I add my appreciation for the adorableness of Lillian - those eyes! that smile!
And, just to throw in something random, these shoes ... I THINK they're shoes.
eta: best of luck in your surgery, Jillli. For what it's worth, I had general anaesthetic in June and came through with the same number of brain cells I started off with. (The friend who escorted me home said I was very entertaining.)
