Skeptical
It's a Miracle! You Scored
wonkers2, misspelt werdz, bwah!
alistairConnor, There are some potatoes I can dig up, to bake in the fire.
I snorted at your Martha-Stewart-ness.
RickNelson, what a beuatiful baby. You lucky man! 16181. Ulgine Barrows - 8/13/2005 10:44:02 AM Good morning, Magoseph.
I didn't do much this week, other than make a necklace of pink tourmalines. Shot through with gold spacers. 16182. Magoseph - 8/13/2005 11:39:56 AM Tourmalines
Well, you probably didn't waste your time making that necklace, were you to sell it, Ulgine. I did nothing all week, except answering Flexy's many daily emails and many posts in his financial forums--I more than earned my keep, though. 16183. Magoseph - 8/13/2005 12:13:53 PM Making Babies for France
It's not a problem to be a super mom in this country. My nieces are right on task, plugging away, similarly with much ease, a fact that never ceases to amaze my brother and that gets him ranting on the ills of France and how he never got the same deal, but nevertheless did better than these people who milk the government will ever do…etc. 16184. Magoseph - 8/13/2005 12:15:52 PM What really worries me, though, is the fact that leaving France may very well shorten my life span. 16185. arkymalarky - 8/13/2005 5:25:39 PM Give us a Butch update, Mags. I thought about that after I'd already logged off yesterday. 16186. Magoseph - 8/13/2005 10:28:47 PM Butch has developed a sense of whom and what he must protect. The Jehovah woman left pamphlets for the last time this morning. The golfers don’t retrieve their lost balls anymore in the woods. No one can park in the driveway and walk up to the house without being greeted by menacing barks and six feet high jumps. We can leave the windows open at night, which is nice for me because I dislike air-conditioned when I sleep and I like the smell of fir trees. He is affectionate to both of us and we are crazy about him.
Thank for asking, Arky. 16187. arkymalarky - 8/13/2005 10:59:06 PM That's wonderful he's working so well for you. 16188. judithathome - 8/13/2005 11:56:00 PM It's a Miracle! You Scored
I don't believe in miracles, Ulgine. Remember, I'm a skeptic.
16189. wonkers2 - 8/14/2005 2:54:52 AM W2 has reached a milestone. Twice in one week our local MacDonald's has offered, unsolicited, the 42-cent senior price for a cup of coffee! I guess it's analogous to when bartenders stopped asking for ID. 16190. judithathome - 8/14/2005 9:42:27 AM Well, look at the time stamp on this post. I am like a raving insomniac. 16191. arkymalarky - 8/14/2005 3:49:03 PM My summer routine: up around 8:30 or so, mosey around, have a dish of ice cream and water for breakfast on the patio, take the golf cart around the trail, head to the house as it warms up, get on the computer, turn on the tv, piddle around the house and cover a project or two (today it's getting this room in order--finally--after switching from upstairs to downstairs), grab something to eat from the kitchen when ever I get hungry, have a glass of wine and an evening golf cart ride, hot bath, and bed.
It all ends tomorrow. But it will stay the weekend routine as long as weather permits. Then I (FINALLY!!!) start graduate school this spring--just one class--then I'm picking up 12 hours through an ESL program this summer, with plans to be done by the summer of '07. 16192. Magoseph - 8/14/2005 4:13:44 PM I listened to your radio appearance this morning, Arky, and I agree with Wonkers that you did very well. Now, tell me, are planning to teach ESL in your school?
16193. arkymalarky - 8/14/2005 5:44:17 PM Thanks Mags!
No, but this certifies me to work with ESL students (not confined to Spanish-speaking) in the school to help them and their families function well in the system. I will likely be retiring from teaching in four years or so, and I need to get my masters before then, for financial reasons. This program is perfect, because I can work with ESL students and curriculum part time, if I choose, after I retire, which will be a better workload than teaching classes, so I'll have more time to work on the political side of education. 16194. Magoseph - 8/15/2005 1:45:52 PM Hello, everyone. Butch is shaking his head all of sudden from side to side and we are worried. Does anyone know what this behavior could mean? 16195. Macnas - 8/15/2005 2:41:09 PM Sounds like some canker Mago. 16196. Macnas - 8/15/2005 2:56:42 PM I should expand a bit more on that. It's very likely an ear infection, maybe some flea/mite at the root cause. It annoys the dog a lot, but does not seem to cause a lot of pain.
In any case, treat it early with some ear drops (there is a wide variey of them) which you can get OTC in your petcare store or vetinarys. If left untreated it can cause an evil smelling discharge and lead to further complications.
But it's easily treated if seen to early. Note, some dogs just seem prone to it, no matter what you do. Make sure you have mite and flea preparations to hand, tablet form is good. Consult a vet before you decide which type to give him, as some breeds do not react well to some flea/mite meds.
Have Butch wear a flea collar if he doesnt already have one. 16197. wonkers2 - 8/15/2005 3:31:50 PM It probably means that he's tired of Gaines Dog Meal and wants a fillet mignon for a change! 16198. thoughtful - 8/15/2005 3:37:50 PM we use frontline on the cas in the warm months and though i did find a deer tick on him this a.m., it's the first I've found this year. and we haven't ever had a flea problem with him. Though the recommend using it once a month, I always push it to 6 weeks without any noticeable difference.
shaking head is usually an ear problem. mites make a darkish color discharge. a vet can diagnose and recommend treatment. 16199. thoughtful - 8/15/2005 3:40:29 PM Arky,
piddle around the house...
Hahahah! If you've got a problem, perhaps you should wear depends!
I cracked up when I saw that...reminded me of my maternal grandmother who always asked me as a child if I had to go make a piddle. Put such a picture in my mind!
