**Bluepony,** will you PUH-LEEZE stop just showing up for one post, then disappearing for months at a time? My heart can’t take it! 😉

As a government employee, I had yesterday off. We’re usually open today, the day after Thanksgiving, but this year, our fair city is financially screwed. So, the mayor oh-so-kindly decided to close to the public today, too. We had the option of taking it with pay or without, or working. Most everyone said “saaa-weeet! I’m outta here!” I think there’s about 12 people working today, in the entire building.

DIARRHEA. I, unfortunately, am quite familiar with that word. (It’s one of the top ten things people bring their pets in for).
