It's now been 1.5 weeks since the ankle surgery, and I'm still bandaged up. This is the longest I've ever gone without being able to wear my orthotics since I got them, and boy are my feet getting sick of waiting. Stitches finally come out end of the week though, yay.

Fairweather is not just a meany-head, he's a droopy poopy-pants.

Those things look like they are fully loaded and ready to pounce. Maybe I should take one with me when I'm out and about with the able-bodied people.

I think the world would be a better place if we could be more considerate if, say for example, a person is wearing a cast on a limb. I'm getting frustrated with getting trampled by the crush of humanity just because I got a big ol' bandage and a funny shoe on my foot.

Archy's right, the thing with OAC is that you're only going to get that super-good rate they are advertising if your credit rating is up to snuff. If it's not, you pay a higher rate.

HUH??

My cat just came home from *wherever* and almost half of her whiskers on one side are burned off. I can't even begin to imagine how that happened. Icegirl came up with two theories, none of which are super-plausible, but could be correct. 1. My cat was hanging out with the bums down by the railroad tracks and she got a little too close to the 55 gallon drum with the fire in it. My problem with this theory is that she did not come home wearing an old wool sportcoat or even a very small set of fingerless gloves. 2. She got a ride down to San Diego to be a smokejumper and help out with the fires. This one might hold some water, so to speak, but she does not smell oddly of smoke, as she sometimes does after she's been outside in the winter. That's a topic for another discussion though. So, how the hell did my eight pound female tuxedo cat get half her whiskers burnt off? I'm sure there's a perfectly sound explanation for this, but kitty's not talkin'. Thanks for your help.

Haha, poor baby. You deserve it, and I enjoy watching him work his magic on you, cuz' ya see, he's not a new friend of mine, not exactly. I'd characterize him as a longtime friend and neighbor. Good friend at that. Some of us have friends in real life, not just made-up adversaries on the Intrawebs.

What Wayne said. And keep eating highly processed food too, really, it's good for you!

He joined me and my friend Jen for a beer, you fucking moron.

Good stuff, or another overpriced supplement? What do you think? I've been taking it a few weeks now, jury is still out. From what I have read, it *should* be pretty good for a body. Do you find any health benefits in this stuff?

The noise problem is my biggest concern about this project. Poor choice of location, with a lot of human-powered recreation and designated wilderness areas right in the neighborhood.

Hm, I just saw Tvashtar last night, and he ain't fat. Maybe you should try attacking his intellect or something.

I love Bend, but if SLC could get somewhere beyond the monoculture of the church, could be a pretty nice place to live. The skiing and climbing are pretty phenomenal and varied. Bend is jumping the shark more and more with every new traffic circle, plus the skiing is, well....let's just say I miss the Bend I enjoyed as a kid. That said, I'd rather live here.

Nicely done, Henry.

Does anybody really care?

hey Leave me outta this! hey i didn't say which sugar daddy! you outed yourself. now all the other cc.com hotties will be after you. watch out. Hands off, woman, Puget's MINE!!!

I might be interested in the bibs, but would need to see a pic or try them on or whatever.

What's that based on? I've done some reading on the subject and never saw that anywhere.

Bah, it'll be healed up in no time. Now I gotta find a super low-impact way to get rid of the extra 20 I picked up babying this thing for way too long. Anyone got ideas on that? Sounds corny, but I'm thinking maybe water aerobics.

Iodine does not kill the crypto, unfortunately.

You're probably a carrier, Steffie. ::::

The degrees of misery vary, but you will know if you have it. Greasy floaty stool, bad bad gas. May be diagnosed correctly, may go away on its own, giardia=not recommended. Ugh.

Sure, I can bring mine. My cat hates all other cats. If you're talking about me and Archie, well, she could kick my ass with one hand tied behind her back, so no, not gonna happen.

Could you post that recipe? Pretty please???
