That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Glad to hear that, Tom!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

After starting an aggressive course of antibiotics, plus Imodium, and probiotics, I’m feeling a whole lot better today.

Pfft. Why didn't you start with cleansing crystals instead of Big Pharma?!

Yay feeling better!

Msbelle I hope things get better quick because that sucks.

Just got home from the hot hot trip. It was indeed 108 degrees. But I slept in an air conditioned RV. I would have left if I had to sleep in my tent. We went out on a boat and I don’t THINK I got too sunburned? Maybe a little today. It’s 95 in seattle but feels downright temperate.

My dog hated being on the boat. And isn’t loving car trips either, which sucks. Also funny: there were two other dogs on the trip, one 60 pound Kobe and one 5 pound Avi. The first night, Rory went for Kobe’s food and barked at Kobe to go away (we took the food away). The next night, tiny Avi went for the food, and Rory stayed back waiting. When she walked away he started to go for it then she turned around and he scampered back. Hilarious!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Wouldn't...cleansing crystals be difficult to digest? Unless maybe they're very small?

Sheryl, sending you patience vibes and sympathy.

Laura, sorry about the condo, and best of luck on the Lauderdale place.

msbelle, just...hugs. And love.

Cleansing crystals = Tide Pods?

Our wings are not tired.

Tom, sending healing~ma to add to the big pharma aids.

My dog hated being on the boat. And isn’t loving car trips either, which sucks.

That does suck. Hopefully he gets used to them. Also, indeed size does not matter in the doggie world.

He seemed fine with car trips when he was younger, and I only noticed it at thanksgiving when we were driving some curvy mountain roads. But since then, even going straight he’s sometimes panting. I don’t know if maybe it’s something about my new car (which I got at thanksgiving) that feels worse to him? Anyone have dog car suggestions?

Dogs are able to take Dramamine, which can relax him and/or calm nausea.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I've seen birds' nests being built before, but this is the first time I've seen a drey under construction: [link]

Nifty. I never think of squirrels as building things, but why wouldn’t they?
