Prius in the news.
Reality hits on road to hybrid heaven
I definitely have to look into that federal tax deduction for purchasing a Prius.
Between the car and my medical bills, this is going to be a complicated tax year.

I’m still experiencing some lingering disappointment that I have to wait until Monday to get my paracentesis. I slept better last night than previously, but I still didn’t get a good night’s sleep. I think I’m finally just succumbing to exhaustion. I stayed up a little longer than I intended, after finding out that “Enterprise”…
The Final Frontier
I had a strange dream last night, all the stranger for the fact that I remembered it. I know why I had it. Yesterday was the thirty-fifth anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. And yesterday I was speaking to friends about playing favorites with children. The anniversary of the moon landing leaves me nostalgic….

OK, so the Prius cost me $600. Who knew that if you left the gas cap loose (something I’ve never done before, and didn’t do this time on purpose) that it would cost $120 just to reset the stupid computer? With the 60,000 mile work and inspection/emissions, there went that wad of cash. Additionally, I’ve…
Cats, lambs, Washington DC and 3:00 a.m.
Yesterday morning the sun was out full and was streaming in the bedroom window. The cats like to bask on top of the dresser at the window, and it’s become prime territory to have spats over during peak sunning periods. The Warrior Princess usually wins this prized location, but yesterday she temporarily abdicated it to…
I’m sick. Definitely sick.
Runny nose, painful sinuses, chills, current temp 100.8° F. I stayed home from work, but I have my first writing class tonight, and I don’t want to miss that. Damn. I’ve got a nasty feeling that I’ve now used up too many of my days off to be able to go to California in August.
Stop! Thief!
On my way home yesterday I stopped at the local garden shop and purchased two stakes for my lovely Canterbury Bells. My primroses are just about history (no tolerance for those days in the mid-eighties that we’ve had off and on for the past few weeks) and so I need to think about what to…
I have to order my parents not to give any chocolate to the dogs this Christmas. They always insist that a few pieces won’t hurt them but they can do without it. We can give them something not dangerous instead.
The vets I worked told clients that they could use a buffered aspirin, but that’s been years ago.
Regarding the spam issue, yes, I know it validates my email address. I only do it is there is a disclaimer stating they will not give my address out. 99% of the time I block them, but even that is useless. It does give me abit of satisfication though…
I also warn my friends with dogs about the dangers of onions, not sure if and how they affect cats.
I always refer folks to http://www.doglogic.com for more tidbits.

Yup, onions, and to a lesser extent garlic, can give dogs and cats a potentially fatal blood disorder called Heinz body anemia. Some people advocate putting a little garlic powder on a dog’s or cat’s food if they won’t eat, to make it more enticing. It does work, and in small amounts can’t harm them. I’ve never felt good about that though, and resort to other tricks to get mine to eat.
Not that they need me to resort to any of those tricks very often!
I remember the first time I told Mrs. Teabags about chocolate being bad for dogs she didn’t believe me. We didn’t have internet or anything like that then, and it took forever to be able to find something to show I wasn’t pulling her leg.
Thanks for the pet care tips!
