The Year in Media Errors and Corrections

My favorite, from the LA Times: Bear sighting: An item in the National Briefing in Sunday's Section A said a bear wandered into a grocery story in Hayward, Wis., on Friday and headed for the beer cooler. It was Thursday.

The court appearance for the driver who hit me on October 4th was scheduled for this Friday, and I was summoned to be a witness, so I arranged to have the day off. Now the case has been continued -- until March 4th. I can't decide if this is good news or not.

I am not at all motivated to go to work on Friday.

Timelies all!

I found that Sudafed makes me jittery, so I don't take it anymore.

OMG, my neighbors are trying to kill me with the brownies or whatever they are cooking. I think I'm going to have to eat the penultimate candy cane off my Xmas tree...

Huh--it's been so long since I've taken either of those cold meds, I'll take your words for it (re: "sud" and "activ")!

I've been chugging cough medicine for the last three days - right out of the bottle since I have no idea where the little cuppy is. Co-worker walked in yesterday mid-chug. It was pretty funny.

Greaaaaaat. I've had such a shitty day, mostly do to technology problems. And now my dogwalker called to tell me that Cayenne had bloody stool today on the walk, so now I have to cancel my book group appearance and likely visit the vet. Perfect. And did I mention this morning I figured out that Cayenne has been peeing in the living room (not normal behavior; last time this was an issue, it was a UTI) and then when I was in the shower, she completely eliminated bowels on the carpet as well. Not normal. Vet, here I come. Hope the poor pup is okay.

Jesse, had you eaten more meat for dinner, you wouldn't be in this pickle.

t Note to self: bring Jesse Xmas cookies

You are possibly correct, Nora. And I have to make cookies later this weekend, so.

Oh, java, hope she's OK.
