I tried giving sylvester children's benadryl as suggested by the vet. I did not even get 1/4 of the dosage down. feh. I want to test it before the flight as he tends to meow the entire time in the carrier.

also, the cat struggling against me upset mac. tears at everything right now.

We played tons of euchre in university.

I practically minored in euchre.

Card games with regular cards: do you guys play Up and Down the River?

In college, as a drinking game.

(Yes, there's a theme here.)

I *love* Balderdash, but people hate playing with me because my powers of bullshittery combined with my wordnerdery lead to my TOTAL BALDERDASH DOMINATION.

Erin: Flash drive on a necklace.

May I tag?

Hee. That Pulitzer Prize is looking less and less likely, so I'll take whatever validation's on offer.

Zenkitty:

LOVE!

Nice!

Glad you like! They have another one that's more like a keychain. I can't decide. I like the design on the necklace better, but the other is 4 gigs instead of 2.

We definitely had the flax. It's the only reason I knew what that was as an eight year old. What's the bell for?

The dealer rings the bell to start trading and then whoever corners the market rings it. It adds to the wacky fun.

ETA: Flax is funny because it seemed so outdated growing up and now it's so trendy.

Oh, msbelle, I've BTDT, 2 weeks ago, minus mac tears. Fun trying to pill a cat with a swollen face who hates having his mouth messed with anyway. Pink foam everywhere. Can you ask the vet if they'll do an injectable? My vet told me to give quarter a 25 mg tablet, which meant for every tablet I got 3 quarters and dust. But might that be more hideable/grind up into treat-able than the children's (I assume liquid or dissolvable? My vet said she had bad luck with those in terms of cats hating the taste worse than the pill.)

Also, my vet warned me it makes some cats hyper. So you really do want to give it a try beforehand.
