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.
HA! That was awesomely cheestastic! Lurve!
all of my uncles are also fuckos.
How come you can't get in an online chat without being an illiterate, horny, dumbass?
(Ok--stipulate to the second one. Duh.)
I figured there are bitches who like Numb3rs and slash that might want to know this though:
Krumholtz desperately wants to play Sal Mineo...I'm just saying.
And, a role closer to my own heartstrings, Jewish crime boss Meyer Lansky.
(Starts Lansky script...no, not really...I'm too busy, but I did think about it.)
I remember reading once that Sylvester Stallone had always wanted to play Edgar Allen Poe (boggles).
Um, smonster? I think you just got invited to a block party.
Heh. I saw that. Awesomecakes! Don't know if I can make it, but still awesomecakes!
Have an encouraging hug from me, and give him one, too. You don't have to tell him it's from me.
He'll be delighted. He's a big hugger. I told him today I would buy him laundry soap for a house warming present.
eye candy
Oh my.
