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.

A rant – Because I can’t leave well enough alone.
Yesterday I ran into this little piece of tripe: Man, the red cross is really milking this… Do people in SoCal think their blood is getting airlifted to New York or something? There’s a HUGE blood drive in the college quad. It’s just opportunism on their part. *Makes cha-ching noise* When it was noted that…
Seed Kibbles
This morning was normal, unlike the past month of mornings. I arose, walked out of the bedroom into the hallway, and found not two but three cats awaiting breakfast. Clueless hasn’t begged for a meal since sometime back in September. I went downstairs, put hay in the mangers, and then sat to babysit Clueless while…
Ten Years
Yesterday was my ten year anniversary at Dear Diary. I only remembered this morning, although I put a reminder in my Microsoft Works Calendar. Too much on my mind this week, I guess. I went back and read a few of the earliest entries. I’m not the person I was then. I wonder when that…
Had myself a merry little Christmas
Christmas Eve I didn’t get out of work until after 6:00. Other years the management let us out early, but this year we hung in there until the bitter end of the day. I felt sorry for the clean-up shift that came on after we were done; I imagine most of them were not out…
Questioning Motivations
I had an interesting talk with The Socialist last night, to do with the forum he administers. First, a brief history: There once was a message board run by a quirky little charlatan dedicated to Star Wars. It turned into an active board, visited by a nice international cross-section of Star Wars fans eagerly anticipating…
Words
Words build a relationship with whomever encounters what another has have to say. What you write, and what you speak, is a structure every bit as much as a wall, a building, a pavement or a statue is. What you build is a reflection of who you are. Spoken words are a mist that dissipates…
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!
