I was up way too late last night watching the House vote. Gronk.

Me too. And I still missed my Not So Secret Political boyfriend, Grayson. I'm proud. Although it's totally not all I wanted.

Sox ~ma and so many brackets for beth and Shir.

You guys are seriously the best.

Shir, I'm so sorry for your pooch's struggle and for all your family's pain. I can't even imagine how that feels. Blessings to you all.

From waaay back, Chikat, I once lived in an older building where my landlord smoked like a stack. It came up through the floor and it was torture. I totally feel for you. My only two solutions were to to use Ozium...which is chemically, but was the only thing that worked...and to buy her one of those ashtrays that sucks up the smoke, which either didn't work, or wasn't used.

And all she heard was abortion, abortion, abortion. Because pre-born life is the only life that matters, apparently. All the post-born life? Well, fuck it, y'all. Once's it's out, let it fend for itself.

Sing it Steph. On many a choice march day, I've asked counter-protesters how many adopted children they have and, of course, I get the 'three heads' look.

I really enjoyed the Bible discussion but was scratching my head over the child-eating bear story. I've read the Bible cover-to-cover a couple of times...educated dissent and all...but didn't remember that particular story. Yeesh. How can anybody take that as a literal representation of a loving God? Seriously people.

((((Beth)))) I may have said this already, but if there's anything you want to say to Andy, say it now. And remember that getting the vet involved may be the least bad option.

((((Shir)))) Alternative vet medicine can be surprisingly effective. We took Teddy to a veterinary acupuncturist -- it did him a lot of good.

Oh yes! I think I've told a couple of acupuncture success stories for dogs here before...none for tumors...but some fairly serious end-of life issues made much easier with acupuncture.

And Beth, many comforting thoughts coming your way.
