Excellent link, Brenda - all it needs is slashy cranky junkie doctors!
that use soapy water. Big soap flakes that all but instantly dissolve when they land. POP! No mess, and a lot easier to make.
I would think that would be slippery.
Happy Birthday, Gar!
I was not happy to hear the sound clip of Sen. Johnson on NPR this morning. Inappropriate.
One thing that might be useful out of that clip is to let people hear what a stroke happening sounds like, because identifying an event as such and getting appropriate help ASAP is so vital.
But I'm not going to listen to it, all the same.

Man pulls 7-foot python from toilet
SYDNEY, Australia - An Australian wildlife worker pulled a 7-foot python out of a septic tank Wednesday after a plumber found it hiding in a woman's toilet, officials said.
Peter Phillips, a wildlife officer for the Northern Territory's Parks and Wildlife Service, was called to remove the snake after a plumber who was fixing the blocked toilet discovered it curled in the pipes.
"The ... resident originally called a plumber because her toilet was blocked," Phillips said in a statement released by the Northern Territory government. "I arrived to see a large python head peering out of the toilet bowl."
Phillips removed the snake from the septic tank because he said it had grown too big to be pulled straight out of the toilet. The mostly nocturnal Carpet Python had probably taken up temporary residence in the septic tank because it was a good place to hide during the day and hunt for frogs.
"The tank was obviously a great home, because the snake was so fat and healthy it was it difficult to retrieve," he said, adding that the nonpoisonous snake will be released.
