A bird pooped on my least-favorite co-worker today while we were outside for a cigarette break.

I laughed until I cried.
I’m dog sitting a friends Husky for the next two weeks. My poor dog is going to have a nervous breakdown because they are both confined to the garage during the night because Toc (the rental dog) is not completely housebroken yet and my dog whines if she is seperated from him when they are together, my dog totally antagonises this dog with her size and weight. It’s a real hoot.
Toc never ever sits down. I think he needs ridalyn.
He also has the spookiest blue eyes.

Ok, I have a new mini obsession to add on to my other new mini obsession of Dougray Scott, who played Prince Henry in Ever After. (Just Joan is now Shirley Ujest, btw) Its the guy who was the arab with the face tattooes in the Mummy. His name is Oded Fahr and every women I’ve spoken with is just like me over this guy: agog.

I brought home a new cat today. He came into my clinic earlier this week, as a hit by car stray. He didn’t appear to be in bad shape, just a little head trauma (facial swelling, bloody nose), so we didn’t euthanize him. We tested him for AIDS and leukemia, and he was negative. Today we neutered him and gave him his vaccines, and dewormed him. He is absolutely gorgeous. He is pure white with blue eyes, and he has a bushy tail. He is extremely sweet and loving. At first I didn’t want to bring him home because I was afraid my other cats would not accept a cat as old as he is (about 6-7 months). I thought it would be best to adopt a baby kitten. But the more I handled him the more I wanted him. So now I have him here at home with me. My other cats don’t know exactly what to do. Cherokee, my Siamese mix, doesn’t like him. He hasn’t attacked him, but if the new guy gets to close he growls and hisses. The other two cats, Annie and Domino, are just kinda sniffing him a lot and watching him. The new guy is very interested in my other cats, he isn’t being aggressive at all. I showed him the litter box and he used it right away, definately a good thing.
I think I am gonna take him back to work with me tomorrow for some x rays. His physical exam never showed anything unusual, but since he came to the clinic he has been confined to a cage. Now that he is home I am seeing a pronounced limp. He is walking about and not acting painful, which is good, but I want to make sure there isn’t any damage.
I haven’t named him yet. I am thinking of calling him Angel, because he certainly acts like one, and the name brings a good image to my mind (Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s boyfriend…swoon!). Everyone please keep your fingers corssed for me that my new kitty gets a clean bill of health tomorrow. (Although even if he does have some sort of fracture or something, I feel I am too attached already to do anything other than shell out a bunch of money to make him better!)
Angel had to have an FHO to fix his hip. Expensive surgery. 
I found tiramisu flavored ice cream. 
One more day to go until I give up my single-hood. Luckily, so far my nerves seem to be holding up. I’m going to have one hell of a time standing up there and trying not to giggle uncontrollably (I always giggle when nervous)

Maryann, I have the Ricky Martin CD Vuelve…and I love it. I’ve been playing it nonstop since buying it a few weeks ago. My friends all think I’m turning Latina. (Yeah, as if…) And I am drooling over Ricky Martin too.
I’m still dog sitting the spooky eyed husky that hasn’t sat down at all. My friend was spose to be back tues or wed (it’s now Thursday) and I am very tempted to tie a sign around the dog’s neck saying " free" and tie him down by the curb.

Ahhh… more proof of my theory! Men named Bob must be avoided (not you, BigIron)! Roberts are ok, and sometimes a Bobby is reasonable, but in general, guys named Bob are scary, evil, twisted, mean, childish, and often so insecure they adopt a big blustery bully attitude… Ladies? Am I right about this? Anyone else have an “Evil Bob” story?

I hate it when sit-coms have scenes in moving cars. The background still looks as bad as it did in the seventies. If they can splice The Duke into a beer commercial, can’t they at least make these scenes more realistic?
Sly - Damn good question and here is my five cent answer:
Probably because for a sitcom the technology for such graphics (if you will) would be prohibitive.
I think the sitcoms should just splice John Wayne footage into the background of the car scenes. That would be hysterical. Seinfield driving through Rio Bravo or She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.

That particular Bob is my big brother!

And now, for something completely different.

“I can always hear a freight train
If I listen real hard.”
I’ve always thought the sound of a distant freight train late at night to be peculiarly romantic… uh… nostalgic? How many of you can hear them from where you are?
I’m currently taking a break from cooking for my roommate Alycia’s bridal shower. I just made this awesome cheddar cheese beer dip for the pretzels, and I’m going to make baba ghanoush, a hot Reuben dip, and Spinach Balls before I’m done. I have four hours, so I should probably go back up and start again. I think my eggplant should be cool by now…
It would be nice if we could close this thread and start over – it’s too long. Takes too long to open, and to scroll through all the old posts (perennial problem with this board). Moderator: any hope of same? Clean this one out and start over?

What a great thread! I love rainy days like this when I can sit inside, grap my notebook PC and just surf the net mindlessly. Such fun! PS- I’m making Shake and Bake pork chops for dinner.

Had a little exra money this month, so what do I do? Go to the pet store of course. I bought a new module for my short tailed possum’s cage, a collar for my new cat, a cat nip toy, a toy for my African Grey (not to be confused with an African Swallow), and bird treats.
Angel sat very quietly as I put his new collar on him, and watched my other three cats grapple over the new toy. Now he is curled up on my lap and one of my other cats, Domino, is sleeping on the corner of my desk. I love my babies.
Has Angel had surgery yet Michelle?
