Why, how very 1984 of him.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Heh. Scary batch of presidential candidates the GOP is fielding, I must say.
Re-cloaking because I keep getting booted off the modem. I've been spoiled by the cable modem. But I miss Seattle weather even more than I miss my high-speed mostly-reliable net connection. It's been above 100 every day we've been here....

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
She flung herself against me, crying, "No! No! My freedom! My FREEEEDOMMMM!"
Heh. Annabel just made me laugh while drinking water. My newly washed nasal cavity thanks her.

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?

That's hysterical!
I took 3 tylenol and put on some aloe vera gel (that I had forgotten I had until d mentioned it). It still hurts, but not so bad that it makes me want to cry. I'll see if I can find a bandage big enough for it. I think I have some gauze and medical tape.

ChiKat, just keeping it in a bowl of cool water helps a lot. The moist burn pads [link] while pricey, are magic. Really. When I spilled the boiling water on my foot a few years ago, I went through pretty much every remedy known to man. There are also burn sprays with benzocaine in them that will numb it up for a while.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I may has passport soon! My check got cashed!
Also, latest update is dad's getting a little more feeling in his right arm. This is very encouraging. Should know more tomorrow after mom reports on MRI.

The moist burn pads
I think I'm going to look for these at Walgreens tomorrow. Thanks for the tip, Ginger!

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.
It really depends on the cat. My cat, whom I thought would kick the shit out of me for trying something like this, lets me do it alone. It's not a problem. ~ma for your kitty.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yay for any encouraging news about your dad, d!
ChiKat, I hope you burn heals quickly.
FRREEEEEEDOMMMMM-loving kids make me smile.
Fred Pete, thank you for the input. I have already come to the conclusion that I need the peace of mind of getting the other test done. I hate needles, but I feel more at ease with the idea of learning how to do sub-Q fluids than I am with feeding my cat food so high in refined corn. Then again, it is possible that there are other brands that do an appropriate feline kidney care diet that would rest easier on my mind. I will have to look into it.
