And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

If calling Timothy Hutton a sexy bitch counts.

Yep, that counts.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Totally counts, Dana!

Punishingly Intricate

Argh! Diabetic cat is acting lethargic and I gave him some corn syrup and that didn't help and I can't get anyone on the phone to tell me if it's okay to just keep an eye on him until his regular vet opens in the morning and, most importantly, if I do that whether I should give him his meds tonight or not! They all say I would have to bring him in to be able to tell what to do. I don't want to bring him to a new place which will stress him and me out if I don't have to. But no one will just answer my questions over the phone!

I don't know, Lisah. My diabetic cat was fine with insulin, until he just got old, losing teeth and started failing. (He was 16.)

I found this; don't know if it will answer your need completely. [link]

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Lovely pics Erin! I think I have to take one to a hairdresser to get my hair cut in the style I want!

I don't know about your cat, lisah, I am sorry.

I do want to be a foster mom to white tiger cubs! How do I get that job?

Yeah, he's almost 15 and has lost all his fangs in the last year or so. His last insulin stopped working for him (and the company is discontinuing it anyway) and he switched to a new kind on Friday evening (Glargine, which is a synthetic insulin) and I'm wondering if he's just not reacting well to that. I think I'll just keep an eye on him tonight and not give him his shot (because it would be worse if his blood sugar got too low rather than too high) and call his vet first thing when they open tomorrow. Hopefully he'll eat his dinner and that will make him feel better.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Poor kitty. I don't know anything about feline diabetes, but that sounds like a resonable wy to proceed, lisah. I hope he eats.

Trust my rage

So the food talk last night got me looking into CSAs locally. One of the biggest ones I found is about about $560 for six months for a double share of veggies and herbs or $900 for a veggie/herb/fruit share. That's over 26 weeks but it comes to about 35 a week, which just seems like so much money.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Wow - that's about twice what either of my local CSAs cost. (And I'm paying even less than that since I'm splitting a share with a neighbor.)
