Oh, man, beta, that SUCKS. I hope it's speedily resolved tomorrow.

Nanci, how did Dillbird "escape"? Isn't he the one-legged-and-that-leg-doesn't-work-so-well lame pigeon? Rascal!

Hairballs. Fact of life. The first time Ariel had one, I thought she was seizing. Imagine my surprise. I used to give them some vaseline like flavored stuff, but it didn't seem to make any difference. They just get them sometimes. I'm going to try the whipped cream. If they like it, that would be a nice treat for them.

Could somebody please send me a money order for $3,000, so I can get everything I want out of the Title 9 catelog?!? I think what I really want is the (fictional?) lives of their models. Well, yes, and the clothes, and shoes, and purses...

Daily Show and Colbert Report are especially hilarious tonight. The Comedy Central Gods must have known I needed some laughs.

The cats loved the whipped cream! I think Isaac gobbled most of it, pushing Ariel out of the way. Tomorrow I'll give them each their own little plate. Thanks for the tip. I wouldn't have thought of it. Who knows why I have a can of whipped cream in the fridge. Last Christmas? Best not to ask. It seemed OK. Of course I had some too!

Mimi- *I'm* always the one who hunts out the mouse holes in the garden... well, me and the 3+ feral cats who prowl about at night, invisible to all, but their pawprints are all over my filthy car... The rats are watched pretty carefully (not too hard, they're black and white and darned-near squirrel-sized in a pretty small raised-bed garden) and actually come running back to 'momma' to show whatever nifty crawly thing they've found. They're like kids. Filthy, sorta smelly, naked-tailed kids. ...ok, not like kids.
'delousing' is just a generic term we've come up with for 'bug eating'- I'd freak if we *did* have actual lice in the garden!

Beta- that's so lame. I hope it's just a matter of screwy paperwork "Another form to sign" and nothing more. The medical system is so screwed up. I couldn't believe the time we went to the pharmacist (at the last minute, like usual) for insulin only to be told that the 'experimental' form of Humalog wasn't covered. WTF?!
Best of luck, let us know how it works out

I thought there were all kinds of rules about what foods you could and could not send to Australia...Like fruit and flowers and nuts??

Dill escaped by popping out of his Swiss Army Pigeon Carrier Bag

http://home.alltel.net/nlevake/Dillbird/dill7.htm (See Dill in his army bed)

and floundering across the patio and out into the grass while I was taking the torts in for the night.

I got my July SS package two days ago. It was really cool, and had lots of stuff!! I'm still working on August-

Mimi, my box turtle Fagalo eats slugs- 20-30 at a time. I have to catch them for him, though. I'm sure he would eat snails. Well, baby snails. He also loves those giant flying roaches, and anything else like that. Nightcrawlers. Pillbugs.

No that is New Zealand.
Very picky kiwi's you know - don't take any chances.
I had a lavender sachet that I sent to Mum *returned* to me in Israel at their expense. Mum was offered the options of having it irradiated or returned. Imagine *that* in your pillow and the dreams you would get!

My kids are sorta smelly and they both have front tails... uh..
Sounds like they are like MY kids... mine are slobs too, are rats slobs?

actually, it sounds like i might enjoy having a rat for a pet.. I think my husband would blow a gasket. when we got married, he told me he didn't like animals (non human) in the house.
my response was, love me, love my cats... and he came around. but i don't think i could
sneak in a rat..

My mom goes to another city (eh-hem) to get her meds. The pharmasist usually apologizes to her that they are so expensive since she isn't a citizen (eh-hem, I mean resident) of that "city". But even paying full price for what the residents of that city get for free, it's still cheaper than her copay for them in her home city. And it's the exact same stuff, made in the same place.

My mom goes to that same city; KnottedYet! what a co-in-kidink!
