Our first cat (white, beautiful, friendly but not cuddly) had to be spayed. When we picked her up at the vet's he told us to keep her from jumping down from high places, and especially to keep her from climibing trees. Well, she'd never shown any inclination to climb a tree, not once, so we didn't worry about THAT. Yes, we took her home, let her out in the back yard for some fresh air, and she promptly climbed a tree and fell out. (She was fine and lived to a ripe old age.)

That reminds me I have to go up there tonight for food.
Me too! Heh. Seriously, this kitten EATS. In about 3 weeks I went through a bag for him and Devi of her spun-gold-for-turbulent-tummies food. It usually lasts a LOT longer. I found some much cheaper stuff for him,because at that price um, no.
He'll be extra dopey because he also got his followup distemper (I think?) shot and had a wee reaction to that, so they dosed him with benadryl.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
An interesting look at the transition teams that Obama and McCain have.
The word "look" made me thing that for McCain they'd have a picture of some Orcs....

All this talk about cat supplies reminds me that I have to get some litter--the level in the box is running really low and it's about time to change it all out and scrub that thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can pick Loki up after 5, he's fine.
Good news!

I really feel like I've done enough work today. AND I got credit for an idea that could be really good. Can I go home now?

The status is NOT quo.
I'm so far behind in this thread. Wow. Congrats to Jilli and Allyson for artwork and nearly being really and truly done! Yay Loki! That's all I've got.
I'm enjoying my day off tremendously (yay Jewish holidays!). I dropped my dog off to be groomed, made a couple of business calls I never have time to do during a school day, ate a lovely lunch out at a local cafe, and now am on my way over to the hospital to pick up copies of the tests they ran in the ER when I was there at the end of August. I have an appointment with a new ob/gyn today to follow up on those tests, and I suspect my enjoyable day may suffer a bit of a setback at that time. Feh.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I just saved our department like $400 and not one cent of it is being given to me. Where's the justice in THAT?!? 10% maybe, c'mon.

I just checked the Dow again, and... Holy shit! It's now down 552 (almost 6%) to 8705.
