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?

Trudy, about your ER poll? I vote for manic episode.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cute! And a happier peapod.

Just finished last night's Life. I'd been starting to suspect it wasn't a procedural, and now I'm pretty much sure. I do like it. The female partner especially.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

LOVE Life. Must add it to the Tivo as 10-11 shows are too late.

Sorry, the constructer brother is already happily married...

It's OK. I meant the costume! Though, getting up and down for the transformation would be hard on the knees these days.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Dog, Cat Honored for Saving Masters

NEW YORK - When Debbie Parkhurst choked on a piece of apple at her Maryland home, her dog jumped in, landing hard on her chest and forcing the morsel to pop out of her throat. When the Keesling family of Indiana was about to be overcome by carbon monoxide, their cat clawed at wife Cathy's hair until she woke up and called for help.

For their nick-of-time acts, Toby, a 2 1/2-year-old golden retriever, and Winnie, a gray-eyed American shorthair, were named Dog and Cat of the Year by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

In addition, five humans were honored Thursday for their actions toward animals in the past year, including a Bronx firefighter who saved a dog and cat from a burning building.

Neither Parkhurst nor Keesling could explain their pets' timely heroics, though Parkhurst suggested her pooch's Heimlich maneuver might have been guided by divine intervention.

I dunno - it seems possible to me that the dog might save the chocking person by jumping on her without divine intervention. After all, we never hear about all the choking people whose dogs, say, licked their faces or begged to be taken for walkies rather than actually saving the choking person....

Cute transformer kid! LOVE!

Sigh. I have work today and I'm remarkably unmotivated to do so.

heh. Well, you know, my brother is pretty much up for any gig that gets him to make stuff AND get paid. The whore. The clever, sneaky, moneymaker. I envy his entrepr...shit, I forgot how to spell that. -ism. Plus, fact is, if it is for his kids? Yeah, he knocks it out of the park. For a purported unsentimental badass, he is pretty much a softy.

Not in detail. But I made a new friend, and now have a place to crash next time I pass through Cincinnati.
