This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

I told her that she should consider selling off half the profit to put it back in mutual funds, and, oh yeah, please don't screw around anymore with money that we (my brother and me) are really counting on to pay off debt.

It would certainly save hard feelings all around if she put it all in index funds. It's not really her money to play with.

Taz the Cat had a vet appointment today- when I helped get him in the carrier he punctured my arm but good! Ah well, can't stay mad at him... the vet appointment was not great. his bladder crystals haven't dissolved with the prescription cat food so surgery looks like an option which is something we were hoping it wouldn't come to. Oh, Taz! We will be getting a second opinion and if we do decide on going forward with the surgery, we'll go elsewhere... the vet Tom spoke to said that practice didn't have the best track record with that type of surgery. Yay honesty?

Has anyone gotten/considered getting pet insurance?

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

I have no advice on the pet insurance thing, but {{{Taz}}} and you too, of course.

Thankfully, Taz isn't in any pain or discomfort at this point. He is also awfully cute!

Oh, poor Taz!

Nora, I haven't had pet insurance with Toto for a while, but when I did have it, you couldn't get it if you know about any health problems that were going to need surgery or treatment or whatever. Just, FYI.

'Til we dance away...

I actually bought pet insurance for my kitten. He had been throwing up a lot and we had to do some xrays and he still have some vaccines to get. My plan has free unlimited office visits and all his regular shots along with a percentage off of anything on top of that. It's a couple hundred a year, so it seemed worthwhile to me.

Good luck to you and Taz!

Good luck with the second opinion, Taz.

Welcome home, connie!

I finished grading! And posted the grades. And got two emails asking, "Can I have a higher grade?" And am DONE with the semester.
