Shir, sorry about the dog. And Andi, I hope Harvey is now peeing freely and painlessly - IN HIS BOX - now.
Aims, you're responsible for a child - you have to do what's best for her and you (and Joe, I guess). Sounds like your uncle's dug himself a hole and wants you to lift him out. (the correct response to this is NO,in case you wondered)
Vortex ... The Rules? This sounds like a book that needs to be re-purposed. Really - maybe made into a purse? with a pink satin lining? or keep it on hand to smack obnoxious students with.
Kilsyth
Was that a villain in one of the Star Wars movies?
oh ... and for my Bitches (courtesy of Smart Bitches), some eye candy.
smonster, if Danny O'Flaherty is doing anything St. Patrick's related, he used to co-own my favorite Irish pub in the Quarter, which got put out of business by Katrina.
My friend Cynthia worked there! As did her husband Kevin!
some eye candy.
...wow. That was... interesting.
I love the valdation that taking care of one's own family above all is the Right Thing To Do. My Uncle seems to be under the mistaken impression that it is selfish of me to do so - almost like a "Take care of your extended family elders" sort of cultural tradition whose origin I am unsure of since this has not been the case in at least 5 generations of our family.
Anyway, he tries to make me feel guilty and impart his own opinions on how society should work and how my "need" to take care of my family is somehow detrimental to the country and I am the reason that the real etate bubble burst or somesuchshit.
All of which is a very venty and long winded way of saying thank you, for reminding me that taking care of my daughter is Priority Number 1 despite craxyhead, fucko uncles.
With cats, there's a rough test for adequate hydration. Grab the scruff of the neck (well, except for Xuza, apparently), hold for about ten seconds and release. The skin should relax completely in ten to fifteen seconds. If it takes longer, the cat is inadequately hydrated.
I feel very strongly about this topic, so I hope I am not coming across too stridently. I believe that test is good for determining if the cat needs immediate veterinary intervention for dehydration. I am not at all sure that this will give Sail the answer that I utterly failed to give her. I believe Harvey would have passed it back when he was eating kibble for every meal. He certainly passed it when I was giving him the canned food without the added water. I believe that cats can be not clinically dehydrated, and yet still not be properly hydrated enough to maintain optimum urinary tract health.
As it turns out, Fleggaard is a Danish-owned store in Germany, just over the border (seemingly it's like Costco and the Danes will drive a couple of hours each way to avoid having to pay the exorbitant prices at home). Being just over the border, the store's motto is "just over the line". That clip was, I believe, advertising cheap dish soap.

I suddenly want very much to watch it again in company with John Barrowman, and also do some dishes.
Um, smonster? I think you just got invited to a block party.
I cannot look at eye candy. I was really productive before lunch. Now? NSM.
