Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

The Firework Treatment

Well, the drawing of the blood went okay.  I didn't pass out, of course I didn't look so that was fine.  However, when I went to pee in their little cup I discovered my tinkleator was dry.  So, I stood there thinking wet thoughts as I turned on the faucet and let water trickle down over my fingers until it started... drip... drip...drip.  They did not get a full cup.  Nope, my bladder gave them just enough to run their little tests.
The FDA came out with a list of dog foods which may lead to cardiac disease in dogs.  Evidently at some point in the past couple of years, certain people without any scientific background decided whole grains were bad for dogs.  Nope, they decide things like lentils and chickpeas were going to be better.  Oops, it seems as though they're not.  Here's the list.  As I've said before, my dogs like Beneful.  There's an influential website which grades dog foods, letting you know which are healthier for you dog.  Beneful is barely acceptable because... it contains grains.
And, if you remember not too long ago, I wrote that if someone gives one of my books a good review I will publicly thank them.  Well my sincerest thanks to Anne Marie of Philly!




The only other things I did yesterday was nap, and eat ice cream and hot dogs.  It was one of those days.  As I stepped on the scale this morning, I could only wonder why wieners have so many calories.

  5. Ah, Anne Marie! I just adore that little foul mouthed Carebear!
    Tinkleator? Love it! I have to get those tests every three months (diabetic). The lab folks got a little sick of me cursing whoever the person (male, I assume)was that invented those cups. They were not made for women, let alone fat women with arthritic hands. There are too many holes down there, and it has always been a guessing game of hit or miss until you find the right one. They finally gave me a hat thingy to put on the toilet bowl. Yay! Nary a miss! TMI?

      And you're right about the support, a pillar strength she is.
