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 probably going to regret this. And I want to know why the only choices were floral. I wanted basic green, to go with my diary. This one barely color coordinates.
Trivial Pursuit
The Professor and I have taken to playing Trivial Pursuit, Genus III, in the evenings. An ignominious defeat we suffered against another couple over the Memorial Day weekend brought the TP bug to the surface again. We’ve played three times in the past week. I trounced him in one game, he trounced me in another,…
I got elfed.
Actually, our cats did. Left, my two, Right, the Prof’s two. Don’t tell them. I don’t think cats have a sense of humor about this sort of thing.
Role Model Profiler
Thanks to MoonriddenGirl for this test. I wasn’t really sure where it was going when I answered the questions, but was amused and a tad amazed when I got the answer, since it did come up with someone I admire, though philosophically it’s not a great match. Anyhow, this is a ROLE MODEL PROFILER that…
Where No Man Has “Gone” Before
Technically this entry isn’t accurately titled. Quite a few men and women have gone here before, for this is a story about the downstairs “powder room” make-over. We’ve lived in the condo for a while now, and though I made a push to repaint the downstairs three years ago, I ran out of steam after…
The Culture of Life
Ah, the siren call of the well-turned phrase. Who can resist an argument when it is summarized as: The Right to ChooseChoose LifeRight to DieRight to LifePro-lifePro-choiceThe Culture of Life This newest call to arms, “The Culture of Life,” is all the more remarkable because it actually introduces an entirely new word into the vocabulary…
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!
