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.

Thanks!

However, I may be suffering from a surfeit of meat. A surmeat. if you will.

While, in theory, I agree with ita on the age thing, I know too many people (largely, but not entirely, men) who don't pick up on "ummm...no" vibes, and have little to no sense of "dude, you're being creepy and (s)he's trying to be polite." For them, a rule like that is very useful for "these are the people it is not okay to hit on."

java, I whatever is wrong with the dog turns out to be easy to identify, and inexpensive to treat.

Oh, I meant to say: hope your girl is OK, java.
