Thanks guys, I should have done something about this before, but I haven't so I am now.
Oh! and there's a Minra Loy and William Powell movie on TCM and another after that so I'm cheered up.

Just came across this COMM in the BRQG and felt the need to share:
Miracleman: Sheesh, try to hand the woman of your dreams the entire world and she screams about a damn dromedary.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Windsparrow, high creatinine is a classic sign of feline kidney failure. You want creatinine to be 2.5 or under -- 2.5 what, I'm not sure. BUN (which I think stands for Blood Urea Nitrogen) is another key kidney value -- you want that to be under 25 -- again, I'm not sure 25 what. If Sammie's in the early stages of kidney failure, the primary treatments are subcutaneous fluids and low-protein diet.
When Teddy was first diagnosed with kidney failure, we managed to make sure he, and neither of our other two, got his low-protein food by close supervision at meal times. Max especially had a much better sense of "my food" than "your food" or "let's share the food." But after a while, everybody either got the picture or got into the habit of eating from the plate set before them.
On the other hand, we only supervised at feeding time. So it was fairly easy for anyone to eat from someone else's plate an hour later.
I'm the last person to be saying this, but your vet should be able to show you how to do sub-Q fluids. It's definitely a two-person job, and three is ideal.

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?
I burned the stew out of the back of my hand tonight. Besides oral painkillers, is there anything else I can do for the pain? It seriously hurts when I take my hand off of the ice pack.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
askye, I don't always love doing my job because I'm human and I too get cranky like today, but I love my job. I hope you find a job that suits you and that you love, and I'm sorry that jerk made you feel crappy.

ChiKat, a quick search shows you shouldn't use the ice for more than an hour at a time, reapplying if necessary after the area has warmed up again.
I usually use aloe for my burns.
