I'm afraid my Jo is too weak and possibly too old for that (at 13).

Just back from meetings too clustered around the middle of the day.

Jo isn't necessarily too old -- Teddy will be 14 next month. Lack of health problems (obviously, other than kidney disease) is necessary.

Several places do the transplants, including California (which I assume means Berkeley) and N.C. State.

All this hummus talk makes me wonder who is ascending.

I feel like descending... into nappy time....

So that's how attacking with hummus works.

Eta: good luck with the figuring out, Sue!

One of my cow-orkers sent me an email offering to help with a project I'm racing to complete. This was my response:

Can you help me figure out why someone would think that replacing existing dates in a case study with 2007 constitutes "updating"?

Seriously, people. WTF? I asked this guy on one of our accounts to update a document with what we've done since this piece was written, not make it look like did it all this year.

(Which, incidentally, makes us look like a bunch of idiots who sat on the project for 7 years before we "established baseline data WRT energy consumption and water usage", something we actually did in 2000 when we got the freaking contract, Nimrod.)

That is a truly impressive lack of clue.

I hate being sick, but not sick enough to not come into work. feh. And then even when I get home I won't be able to take meds until after DH gets back from work. By tonight, I'll be a huge snot monster, but other than that I guess it's not so bad.

My boss's dog has figured out that since I can't reach all of her to pet her when I'm sitting, she can move around to control where I pet/scratch her. Usually she will slowly turn in a tight circle, allowing me to eventually pet/scratch her head, neck and entire back.

Several places do the transplants, including California (which I assume means Berkeley) and N.C. State.

Probably not Berkeley, but Davis where they have a school of veterinary medicine. Berkeley doesn't even have a med school.

Still, FredPete, I wish Teddy (and you and Hubs and kitty yet to be determined) all the best.

My cat likes to curl up next to me on my bed when I'm lying on my side with my bottom arm flung out, and strategically position her head so it's right next to my hand. Last night, she wasn't sitting just right, so she moved enough to put my hand and her head about an inch apart. Then, a few minutes later, she rearranged herself so she was facing me instead, and I just had a feeling something was up. Sure enough, she lunged and bit my arm near the elbow.

She went flying off the bed as I flung her off.
