One of my coworkers set up her mac laptop with the webcam to record her dogs one day. Comedy gold!

It's a sad sign of how often I take 4 ibuprofen that I honestly thought he was kidding. (Really? Ibuprofen can make humans feel loopy? I perhaps need to cut back.)

I'd have had the same reaction.

Steph, I know Lori had paw..mittens?socks? for Bear for clambering around in the mountains. I wonder if something like that would help for traction for the dalmation.

Muttluks! Those are cool! We got her Pawz booties, which are rubber about as heavy/thick as a swimming cap -- she can feel the ground much better through the rubber than she would be able to through something heavier like the Muttlucks. And the Pawz do help her with traction, although she doesn't need them every day. [link]

Actually, bonny, I have a friend whose dog is having such separation anxiety that they are close to being evicted because they cannot stop the barking anytime they leave the house. I've been meaning to ask you about it but right now I don't remember the details of what they've tried. I might e you (or have her do so?) in case you have any advice.

A friend of mine gets positively goofy off of aspirin, tylenol or advil. Vicodin had the equivalent effect on her. Considering she has migraine and bad cramps....uhg.

I have been totally undone by ibuprofen. Then again, Cipro put me right out of my mind. I think my tolerance is much lower than most when it comes to chemical interventions.

Advil is the only thing that worked for me. Other 2? Nada. I've got a bottle of vicodin, but never took any. Benadryl either makes me hyper or stupid. Old school sudafed had a fairly reliable spacy effect, but the other stuff is random. If I'm going to take anything, all bets are off.

Okay, is the theme for this year's Tony somehow related to songs that don't have anything to do with Broadway?

Are any of the b.org kids really into policemen? I have a Lego Duplo policeman on a motorcycle free to a good home. The smallest piece is about the size of an unshelled peanut.

He always needs a haircut! Boy's regular all the way!!

I was so not down with the boy's regular. But the boy band look he's rocking now is cute. Which is, if I recall correctly, a result of MGG hacking his hair off with a knife and having on-set stylists fix it.

Goofball.

Who is MGG? I'm confused, as usual.

I'm also eating homemade chocolate chip mint ice cream. YUM.
