My diabetic cat was fine with insulin, until he just got old, losing teeth and started failing.
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.
Poor kitty. I don't know anything about feline diabetes, but that sounds like a resonable wy to proceed, lisah. I hope he eats.

Why do New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware not get any labels at all?
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.

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.)
Sophia, I was thrilled with the way my hair turned out. And it is so easy to style. And Elnette? Kept it looking fab all night, even through massive winds at the outdoor ceremony.
Poor Lisah's kitty! I hope he feels better.
I wonder how much a CSA would be in KC. I mean, it's farm country, right?
If it's a double-share, that's only $17.50 per share, right? Could you loom for someone to split it with?
I haven't looked into CSAs here because we have this crazy online farmer's market (called Athens Locally Grown) where the farmers post what they have, and the web site takes orders from 10pm Sunday-8pm Tuesday, and you pick up your order from 4-8pm Thursday in a parking lot. It's great because you get to pick what you want (so, no collards for me!), plus they have milk and meat and tons of other non-vegetable items. Down sides include things selling out fast (I usually order at 8am on Monday, and some stuff is sold out), and it's kinda pricey, IMO, for vegetables, especially compared to the farmer's market we went to in Durham. I usually spend $20 a week, which is $5 for milk every week, $4 for eggs every couple of weeks, occasionally ground beef or some kind of pork, $4 for amazing addictive carrots, and whatever in-season veg I feel like. The animal products are all organic & free-range but USDA processed and certified (so, pasteurized milk, etc., which is my preference.)
Erin, I love the pictures that you have labelled "silly face" -- they're adorable!
For a double share that doesn't seem so unreasonable.
Europeans really dig The Wire.
Bodymore, Murderland ought to have one.
