Went to Target and walked the entire width and breath of the store twice before finding someone to help me. They eventually led me to what was left of the As Seen On TV section. No pajama jeans. But…
While having my hair done my hairdresser said she’d seen them in Fred Meyers. So I went over there and once again did about two miles of searching up and down every aisle until some kind store person rescued me and brought me to the tiny section of what was left of their As Seen On TV section. They had some
Are you frustrated by your potential choices in the upcoming presidential election
Write in Steven Colbert. He’s is at least as intelligent as any current candidate from any party and probably smarter than most. Lisa won a senate seat on a write in vote. I say we elect Steven Colbert the same way.
It may be true, but that doesn’t make it any easier to hear
So I’m sitting in a dental chair… right off not one of my favorite moments in life… and the very nice young man who claims to be old enough to have graduated from dental school and done a root canal on me last year asks how the tooth feels. I tell him that I barely remember having the root canal and have had no pain or any problems since he did it. He allows as how I was pretty drugged when my friend drove me to the appointment saying, “You’re of that generation that doesn’t like to come to dentists
Thanks for all the suggestions
I tried using pill pockets for the liquid meds my dog was taking but even the biggest pocket held very little liquid before overflowing. I would have had to give her a bag of them for each dose… though, I should add, they are a marvel for administering pills. My dogs especially love the duck flavored ones.
I tried the syringe and squirting it down her throat. That’s how I ended up with a pink and white kitchen where once it had only been white. I have to admit I’m in awe of just how long I could hold her
Another thing about Joe’s excuse
It occurs to me that Joe Paterno is most probably Catholic. If not, he must at least be able to read. Or have ears to hear TV and radio broadcasts. So if his excuse for letting his staff screw little kids while doing nothing is that he didn’t even know about that stuff or what he should do… well, it seems to me that a decade of headlines above the fold concerning Catholic priests and little boys should have perhaps given him at least a little hint. Don’t cha think….?
How do you get your dog to take liquid medicine?
So I’m weaning Blondie off the prednisone because I hate what it’s doing to her. I found a decongestant I could give her safely through an online vet website. But getting a dog to take 12.5 ml of a liquid that dog does not want to take is not an easy task. Our first attempt yesterday resulted in red sticky stuff spread over my entire kitchen and dog and me. Then I tried to drip it into bread and cover the bread with peanut butter. It’s amazing how she can get all the peanut butter off without ever touching the
Joe Paterno’s excuses make me sick
He’d never heard of man rape? What the hell planet was he living on? Did he never turn on the TV or radio or read a newspaper other than the sports section? And it is bull crap that he was just of a different generation that did not know these things existed. The current generation did not suddenly produce perverts and all past generations had none of them.
Joe Paterno was told that a child was being molested. He told someone else and then went on with his life. Too bad the kids his staff member raped couldn’t do the
The continuing saga of Blondie and the snow
See, as my mother might say, I still have the brains god born me with. I didn’t even try to take a walk with Blondie when all the snow fell on Thursday. And Blondie, god bless her, is so even more out of it now that she’s on all that prednisone that she doesn’t give a hoot on a good day.
I went to wrestle my trash and recycle can from the end of my driveway through the snow and into the garage. She followed me as far as the garage and just stood there looking out as I went
You learn to make accommodations for the snow
My dog like to deposit her poop in a variety of spots in the yard. She never goes out and just stops in one place. I don’t know why. But answering nature’s call means making many circuits of the yard, sniffing carefully and then make partial deposits in a lot of places. However, this is the year of snowpocalypse in Anchorage. She goes into the yard and once she gets beyond the protective ceiling of the second floor deck, she is in snow up to her shoulders. Still, the instinct for multiple deposits is strong. Since she can’t go far,
You know you’re having a bad start to the New Year…
… when you wake up in the morning and are happy that you only feel tired and not sick and tired.
