We are, oddly enough, the kitty refuge of the neighborhood. The house next door has 6 cats, so whenever one of those wants a lower population density they come over here where there are only 2 in residence. The house on the other side has two cats but also two dogs that are not as my polite as mine, so they'll pop over for a bit of relief from the canine presence. They'll all be said when I move away and take my all-you-can-eat kitty buffet with me.

Rocky, come home!

Chemo reduces immunity because it reduces the number of white blood cells you have. There are a couple of drugs that help increase white blood cell count and some doctors give prophylactic antibiotics. They should be checking her levels.

Does anyone (and by anyone, I probably mean Steph) know anything about the off-label used of Avastin for macular degeneration? Googling indicates that it's been used frequently for that purpose over the last few years. They want to use it on my Mom. There are side effects, but they are found in its on-label use, which is many times the amount they inject in the eye.

My sister (who has a cat which isn't allowed outdoors) has neighbors who have either two sphynxes or a sphynx and a rex, which they allow out. The cats seemingly wander the neighborhood - no collars or tags - and every so often someone calls animal control. And, inevitably, when they come by the cats are over outside my sister's, which means she has to try to explain that "yes, I know those cats but they aren't MY cats; MY cat is the little calico sitting in the window hissing".

Rocky, go home! Your human is worried about you!

Enjoy the outdoors from the window sill, like good kitties do!

Huh. Generally people don't let sphynxes out, due to their tendency to get sunburned or too cold or whatever.

I'm gonna feel dirty, slutty, whorish for asking this...

Boy has just started working for Apple, and we now get a forty percent discount on Apple products

Does that discount extend to Buffistas???

(Told you. Makes me feel cheap. But a $210 160gb classic. Heck, I can afford that!) Doubt its possible, but worth a try? no? ok. maybe not. carry on.

/begging-pleading eyes.

My predecessor in this job (who is now retired) just forwarded me an email from a professor.

The professor was replying to an email my predecessor sent in 2002 offering training on a certain database. The whole thing says, "I see the date on this and I don't know how I missed it but yes I'd like training."

Kitty ~ma, erika!

Is the database still functional?? Seems like something I was trained on in 2002 may or may not even EXIST anymore, given computers...

Does that discount extend to Buffistas???

Honestly, I have no idea; He just started today. Although, even with the discount, I bet it'd still be cheaper for you to buy stuff in the States than it would be over here, where everything is more expensive and the euro is crazy strong against the dollar.

I think it would be quite an imposition for invisible friends from the Internet to take advantage of Jars' DH's discount. IMO.
