Teddy had his endoscopy yesterday. They didn't find anything wrong in-house, but the outside lab results won't be in until tommorrow at the very earliest.
Teddy's appetite was much, much better last night. And his weight was up. But we now have to weigh him every night so we can jump right on it if he starts losing weight. Up side -- he wasn't crazy about being weighed but did cooperate eventually. Down side -- he didn't have much appetite this morning.
The vet threw in a thorough grooming while he was groggy. So his tuxedo looks nice and shiny.
Yay for Teddy feeling better, and looking all spiffy.
And looked at us with wide eyes of discovery. "Half the stuff you guys say came off these albums!"
See if you recognize this commonly used phrase in my family's lexicon: "Why should I tell her?"
I am 55. My brain is pretty much the same the geeky, gadget-obsessed, cynical, snarky and depressed thing it was in my 30s. Sometimes my brain is 3 (I want that!) and sometimes it's 12 (That looks like a penis. That looks like a penis!) I do think "Been there, done that, the t-shirt is too small now" more often, and I don't have the rat-trap memory for useless facts I used to have. I think the facts are still there; the retrieval mechanism is just wearing out. However, my back feels 60, my hands 70 and my knees 80.
I usually get pegged at 5-6 years younger than I am, which is currently 51. I feel about mid-30s. I hope to stay feeling like that for a long time.
My grocery store cards everyone. I've gotten so used to it I always have my wallet open and waiting for the clerk to check my ID. OTOH, I was just at a liquor store yesterday picking up a bottle of Fernet for Thursday and the clerk didn't ask. Whether it was because I looked my age or not, he still should have carded, it's state law.
State law in NC is to card anyone who looks under 30. I suspect that a lot of people just card everyone instead of trying to make age judgments.
Does the last day of school before break make students extra-stupid or something? Because, ISTG, the number who have wandered into my lab today and asked if we have a printer
while standing right next to the printer
is just stunning. Especially when it's the first thing they see coming in the door. (If they even got so far as "is this printer okay for everyone to use", I'd understand. But...)
Whether it was because I looked my age or not, he still should have carded, it's state law.
Huh? I rarely get carded in WI.
Stupidest article in the history of ever? Discuss.
Oh! I saw that this morning, Nora, and I was like, "This is different than any other thing? I mean, really. DUMB."
The law in my state says anyone under 35 must be carded for alcohol. And while you are not required to card those over 35, if you sell them alcohol without an ID its against the law.
This is what I found on Yahoo. Seems kind of like a catch-22 to me.
