Our cats have giardia. They are about to go on their second round of antibiotics. They are inside cats, so we don't know where they got it.
Jayne: There's times I think you don't take me seriously. I think that ought to change. Mal: Do you think it's likely to?

Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

It's everywhere! Save the children!
I thought it was just water-borne, but it can apparently live on surfaces, too.

Am I dumb? I can't seem to find how to write a citation for a word from the dictionary. I got it from the library's link to the OED.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Weather gods are fuckin' wit' me.
When we got in today the weather was all "I AM FROZEN DEATH! I ATTACK YOU WITH TALONS OF ICE AND DEADLY BREATH OF SNOW! QUAIL BEFORE ME, BRIEF MORTALS AS I TOTALLY FUCK UP YOUR ROADS! MWA HA HA!!"
In response the boss was "Well, if it keeps up, we'll probably all go home early."
So, natch, now the weather is playing coy. "Might be frozen death. Might be annoying. Might wait until you're leaving at the USUAL TIME and be frozen death THEN. Who knows?
Quail before me, brief mortals, for I am capricious and irritating."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
We've had ice pellets falling from the sky here for a while. I need to go to the market, but I don't feel like driving in this, so instead I am baking pumpkin bread.
