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.

The chicken cacciatore recipe turned out to be wonderful. There haven’t been many low sodium recipes I have found worth getting excited about, but that one is a keeper. Unhappily, that was about the best thing I can say about dinner last night. Things started off fine. Sisters arrived in bubbly moods and we sat…

These blaggards have just ruined all my anticipated fun. There is no way in hell I ever anticipated a response from them. I was looking forward to emailing them daily, with the missives getting progressively more off-the-wall and tongue-in-cheek. I was going to eventually collect them all, create a book, sell it to a top-line…
No good reason for updating.
Listening to Gene Shay’s Sunday night folk show on WXPN while torching some soup for dinner. Quiet end to the weekend. I’ve tried to get multiple glucose readings on Satan’s Little Fart Cloud today, but I also had to bath her, which I’m hoping is why the afternoon readings are a little high. After this…
After The Gold Rush
It’s snowing … the kind of snow that resembles nothing so much as an invasion of small, white, frozen fruit flies. It’s certainly cold enough for this stuff to stick (somewhere in the mid-twenties, last I checked), but the stuff seems more intent on displaying Brownian motion in the air than it seems to be…
Scheduled an appointment
The soonest Dr. Disc can take me is Thursday morning. I’m not going to make the mistake of accepting a substitute again. Last week taught me my lesson. Thursday morning it is. I should have enough pain killer to last until then.
Achieving Equilibrium
You know that feeling you get the day after you injure yourself? Imagine that you’re hammering nails, and manage to wing your thumb instead of the nailhead. You don’t do any real damage, but it hurts like hell afterwards. Then the day after, your thumb doesn’t hurt any more, but it still remembers that it…
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.
Alli
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!
