some things that are making me happy:

- It looks like I will be down to a balance on just one credit card within 6 months.
- Invoice processing inbox is at zero.
- Work pile IS getting smaller everyday.
- Castle tonight
- pricing for the flea market this weekend will start tonight

Thanks, Teppy.

Oh, for the record, I have no idea if this is swine flu and won't be getting cultured as this means leaving my bed. It just amuses me to call it that.

Plei, I tried cat kibble once because my friend used to eat it. I decided that her taste in snack foods was a bit questionable.

Did I tell y'all about the time I found someone had gacked up wet food on the floor? Naturally my first thought was the cat, but no. I found Isaac sitting nearby. I would say I caught him red handed, but the stuff really was more brownish. I asked him why he ate the cat's food. He looked at me and said, "meow!"

I ate some dog biscuits as a kid, at least once. They were inoffensive.

I used to munch on our rabbit food as a kid. Have nibbled on my cats snicky snacks when really drunk.

I have a sense memory of what dry cat food tastes like, but I don't remember eating it. I do remember being told that I had eaten it as a toddler.

Dry dog food has a huge amount of energy by weight. Bush pilots in Alaska and Canada will often carry dry dog food in their planes in case they're forced down in the wilderness.

Captain and Mrs. Hook's LP of music for Christian pirate children

This album is chock-full of piping childen’s voices singing about being Christian pirates and long-winded sermons about not spending all your money at the proverbial circus and missing the train to Heavenville and such. The best part is a surly puppet sidekick "Sharkey" who likes to refer to the good Cap’n as “fatso” and is guilty of the eighth and ninth deadly sins of interrupting and backtalking.

I remember gnawing on Milk Bones. They were oddly tasty to a child. I caught myself licking my finger after opening a can of cat food last night. It was weirdly bitter, but not too bad.

I would never have eaten pet food as a kid because our pets wouldn't touch the stuff. Leftovers served still warm mixed into cornmeal porridge or nothing, the picky little critters.
