Sleep well and heal, bonny.
May all the ill-istas feel better soon.
Hallelu.
Since I got home I have: emptied and washed the compost crock, emptied and loaded the dishwasher, taken out the recycling, washed and hung a load of laundry, put more stuff from the kitchen aside for donation, put away a bunch of clean clothes, emailed some peeps in NOLA to be on the lookout for a sublet for me, made and ate dinner (with leftovers for tomorrow's lunch)... I'm pretty much out of productive. I think I'll send two more emails, take a shower, and crash. Office day tomorrow.
OMFG. There's a 9/11 10th anniversary commemorative coin using silver recovered from Ground Zero. Am I nuts or is that atrocious?
I would rather they used recovered precious metals for some sort of memorial rather than commercial gain.

Wouldn't that include the fillings of dead people?
I was pretty skeeved when I saw that ad, smonster.
ION, I am finally on a computer newer than 1999 again.
2 Ghz, dual-core 3.5GB Ram, wheee.
To celebrate, I just watched Muppets Bohemian Rhapsody in real time on YouTube.
I was pretty skeeved by the battleship.
ION, I think this is a bad strategy for Taco Bell:
Taco Bell plans countersuit over ground beef
Won't that just give the whole thing more publicity?
If you were, however, to make some playdates with other dogs or begin teaching him some new behaviors, those would be awesome distractions and ways to engage his emotional life.
Well, we bought the Kong and another treat-dispensing toy as ways to give him small distractions. Tim has been teaching him to shake (paws, not shake like shaking off dirt [he does THAT all too well]). And otherwise, we're just paying attention to him and playing with him and petting him a lot. We're watching to make sure he eats and drinks, which he is so far.
And we're trying to not "over-treat" him, because he's already chunky. So the treat-dispensing toy just gets a small handful of kibble held back from his dinner, and the Kong will get a few kibble pieces held back from breakfast.
Won't that just give the whole thing more publicity?
No such thing as bad publicity. (Well, that's not entirely true, but for the most part...there really isn't.)

I believe the only possible term here is "ew."
