Give me credit: I smelled the vegemite. Let’s start slow with this, eh?

The Big Boss has evidently been waging guerilla warfare with Mrs. Big Boss. She was adamant: No more cats! But he asked me for print-outs of pictures of Dekyi, and he’s apparently been leaving them at strategic points around the house. Apparently she relented last night. I pick Dek up from quarantine on Sunday, keep…
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…
Friday night I stopped in at the Elder Sister’s to have a drink and wish her happy 51st. Younger Sister was there as well, and we sat around talking for a bit. Both sisters Elder and Younger leave the television set on in the room when they’re entertaining, which I find extremely annoying (and distracting)….
Cats. Why did I think I wanted cats? Until things get settled, I’ve been keeping our three cats separated at night. The Warrior Princess has the bedroom with me, since she’s the most likely to settle in at the foot of the bed and patiently wait for morning. Clueless Wonder Jr. gets the spare bedroom,…
as a cat with expectations of being fed. The Professor’s cat and I have come to an understanding – I allow him to feed, groom, and worship her and she’ll tolerate my presence at those times when the above three services are not required. The Professor is abed at the moment, and the Warrior Princess…
The check-up at Big City Hosptial wasn’t nearly as comprehensive as last year’s, thought there’s a few things they want me to follow up with on my own. They want a more recent MRI on my liver than last summer’s, and I’m supposed to round up a nutritionist for myself to talk to. There was…

Dear Salamander,
Thank you for your kind comment in my diary. I really appreciate it. Murphy is not just a dog, he is very, very special to me. I am grateful that you and so many others here understand just how much a part of our lives our animal companions become.
I love your kangaroo. So in Australia they have joeys in stockings instead of pouches? That’s almost as interesting as having Easter Bilbies instead of bunnies. I also love wallabies and other marsupials, birds, non-marsupial mammals, reptiles, amphibians and insects.
Just not the deadly dozen. I like pythons but I will not handle any snake with poison.
Thanks again & Love,
E.L.
how cute!
…..but have you tried the vegemite??

Ya, know, vegemite isn’t too horrific if spread with peanut butter on toast. I just don’t suggest doing that before 11 a.m.
LMAO!!
You my friend are scared too?? Its not a smelling salt, its food!!
OK, this is what you do……
Toast some bread (lightly only)
Add some butter to toast
Then use a scrapping of the vegemite to cover the toast, open your mouth, eat and say "yum yum" as you rub your tummy. !!
Listen…this is basic food that babies start on whenever they start sucking toast.This is the core, the life blood of aussies !!
You cannot let me down on this!! LOL
Aussies will kill for a jar or tube of vegemite if overseas!!
Bon Appetite !!!

I think Vegemite is ok, but the Kid LOVES it! I think he’d eat it every day if I kept it on hand. I’ve got no idea why he loves it as much as he does.

How does vegemite relate to marmite? I see Marmite in the gravy aisle in the grocery store.
Never been brave (or drunk?) enough to buy a whole jar just for a taste test, though.
BLECH to vegemite.
Re your comment, I wondered the same. I am assuming that being the paramedic I did not get all in infomation that the doctors passed. However, I’ve been around long enough now to wonder…
