Good luck with your dalmatian, Steph.
Max goes in for an MRI and (no pun intended) CAT scan tomorrow. He's been doing better, with increased appetite and, from time to time, acting like his old self.
She just... she just did the math.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ann, that's a ferret.

All is well that ends in pizza.
"Cat in an MRI machine" sounds like a recipe for terror.
Heavy sedation for everyone involved, methinks.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Definitely for Max. He's relatively mellow, as cats go, but that's a pretty low bar.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, erin. That sounds horrible. Does your neck feel any better today?

Oh my.
From news of the weird:
Schools' conventional "zero tolerance" policies prohibiting guns or weapons on campus not only apply (as they have recently) to drawings of guns and to a 2-inch-long toy charm in the shape of a gun, but, at an Ionia, Mich., school, to making the familiar, thumb-up hand representation of a gun, for which Mason Jammer, 6, was suspended in March.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Next thing you know, kids will be suspended for using GNU Unix, because "GNU" can be rearranged to form "gun."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Drawings of guns and tiny toy guns, that's ridiculous. Do they think they can wipe all recollection of "guns" from the kids' minds? But the thumb-up pointed-finger hand sign of a gun, I might actually agree with that, given more context. I've never seen that used when it wasn't a threat, and I have a real bad knee-jerk emotional reaction to it. I don't think little kids should learn that it's okay to make that threat.

I have to agree with Zen. It's one thing if a group of kids are playing a game and going bang-bang at each other. It's another when a pissed off kid knows enough to point at shoot at someone he's mad at, then he's communicating a threat and it needs to be addressed.

I am reminded of when my not-quite two year old nephew (now 17) who had no gun like toys pointed a banana at me and said, "POW!"

Trust my rage
Frisco uses his finger as a gun all the time now. He saw other kids doing it at daycare, knows it is not allowed, and thus loves to "shoot" at Ellie, who promptly hits the roof because she knows it is not supposed to happen. I try telling her to ignore him because he only does it to get a response, but at almost 5, she doesn't really get that.
ION, there are census workers checking in with their supervisor at the coffee shop I'm working from this morning (MIL in the house) and it seems sort of patriotic - like our constitution is working right in front of me.
