Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well in that case we'd just pretend whatever country currently annoying us the most had done it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Waiting for dinner, and trying not to think about the Iran clusterfuck to come.

We have always been at war with Eastasia.

I want dinner. I do not know what I want to eat for dinner. I have to give Petunia more medicine, and she has now figure out how better to fight me. I think I need three hands to do it properly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Can you wrap her in a towel? (Note, I have never successfully done this, but it always seems to be the advice for cats!)

For my dinner, I finished the artichoke stuff AND pita chips!

Going forward, I guess I'm only going to have popcorn for dinner, because I just picked up a table top cart-style popcorn maker off a Facebook free group!

I think the issue is I need one hand for the syringe, and one hand to pry her mouth open. So even holding the towel is not really working! I am JSU being OK with getting whatever I get in her mouth, even though it isn't .4 ml.

One of my tricks for getting meds in a cat by myself is to put them in a corner somewhere...either in the room or in a an armchair/sofa where they can't really back up any further, and then try to get their meds in.

I've been giving Oz 1/2 pill twice a day for a couple of years now, so I don't really need the corner anymore. I just sit his butt down and pop it in. I also do it just before I put his plate of food down.

Oh yeah. My Hazel refused to take anything by mouth, so I ended up having to give her a topical medicine on her ear.

I mean, it's generally much much easier to do on kittens and even then I think most of you may recall the furious food splattered towel wrapped kitten photo from a couple years ago, when the kitten really didn't appreciate being syringe fed!
