Matt, I love wildlife refuges (when they're well-run, of course)! Where is this one? That looks like a happy coatimundi, and such a beautiful tiger!
This is the Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge just south of Eureka Springs. It's a 459-acre compound with over 100 animals, most rescued from other facilities and private owners. Some of them are inbred or victims of abuse, so the folks at this facility are very committed to providing proper care and giving them as much freedom as is feasible.
I was astounded to find out that the sale of tiger cubs is legal. Apparently, the captive population is about four times as great as the number of tigers left in the wild.
Also, I want a back on anything I'm going to sit in for a while.
Yeah, that was my immediate response. I'm a sloucher.
Jesse, inset with a question.
Every day is onerous task day for the next two months, I think. Blerg.
So if the pain continua today I should go to dr, right?
On the Homefront I am on mom strike. Lots of not talking going on.
Do you have a nurse line you can call, msbelle?
Yeah, 2 days of pain sounds like enough to me. Have you tried Gas-X or baking soda (I have always gotten more reliable relief from bakin soda than commercial antacids).
I have a loveseat rather than a sofa, and I don't think I could go bigger in my living room (or any of my past living rooms, really, except the short-lived duplex where we had a whole extra living room type space that we didn't have furniture for, what a shiny nesting future I had for a little while there). If I actually do deck my attic and put in stairs maybe I could put a chaise up there...
The thing I like about backless chairs is when you shove them under the table they are completely out of your way. Dining room chairs are usually too high for me anyway, so backs don't really make them more comfortable.
Hope you start feeling better, msbelle.
I'd say day 2 of even mild chest pain is worth a doctor's visit, msbelle. If nothing else, he or she might be able to prescribe a better antacid than the OTC stuff. (My mom has prescription-strength omeprazole that she forgets to take before eating half the time.)
