Tuesday morning greetings!  Here I am at work with my angel costume on - almost everyone in the department dressed up, except for the ones I could have predicted would not.


Did no one dress as a Hobo or a bag lady and mingle with the crowd?

Long story, DR Singdaw.  Here in the Bible Belt, the powers that be have decided that Trick or Treat should not be tomorrow because there are a lot of church services on Wednesday evenings.

interesting.  so the kids go tonight then?  i doubt they mind having it a day
early :)

Really scary column in this morning's Oregonian.  Some kid in Madras (not the Indian one) was arrested for having sex with his underage girlfriend.  The grand jury returned a "not to be indicted " finding but the jury foreman incorrectly signed the document (you're only supposed to sign if the jury indicts).  Well, the prosecutor, D.A., judge and jail officials all "neglected" to see that the jury actually hadn't indicted and put the kid in jail.  It was only because one of the jurors happened to read a little article in the Madras paper and called the D.A. that the kid was released--temporarily.  The prosecutors are trying to blame the defense attorney and the kid himself for not noticing and they are now prosecuting him all over again, since because of the error, the first case is legally "nullified," so, according to them, there's no double jeopardy.

A clear case where the "literal" reading of the law flies in the face of the spirit of the law, justice, and plain common sense!

And will those same Bible Belt powers that be then arrange for the spirits to awaken a day early for Feast for All Souls?

I think DR SINGDAW asked about tonight being Devil's Night or Mischief Night....yes it is.

Petty crimes, fires, and annoyances.....I think the tradition began in Detroit, there is no spiritual significance to the event.

Mischief night was is full swing long before Detroit started with the fire crap. We had "Soap Night" in Philly ever since I can remember - which gets us back to FDR!

Well...the roller coaster continues... last night after Callie was so calmly sleeping she got up and her back legs, well at least one of them was very weak, she almost fell over several times.   It was still that way this morning.  We went to the vet this morning and she did a full blood panel. I am convinced that there is something unrelated to her bowel problem going on here.  

I mentioned to the vet about the phosphate enema, she said she noticed too but it was 6 months ago, we looked at the chart and I pointed out that it was in September and she has never really recovered since.   The results of her blood work will be in tomorrow.   With her weak hind legs, I'm very worried.  

Callie seems pretty calm today. She let me give her her regular meds in the regular doses without any objection.  I have a lot to do at work, but just can't seem to get my mind on it.

Oh re: the film ENCHANTED.

The name just didn't ring a bell. But i think i saw a preview for this when i saw the HAIRSPRAY movie. If so it's part cartoon. And it looks really sweet (romantic comedy but for the younger set).

With it's all-star cast, Disney Animation and a score by Alan Menken and  Stephen Schwartz this film will attract a wide audience of all ages.

(And the purists among us would remind you that animated movies are not cartoons).

Good morning.  To kick off with the foot report:  The meds seem to be doing their work, and I'm wandering about, still carefully, but not particularly painfully - not even a temptation to reach for the cane, so that's good.

Good news!! :D

Jane, time was when parents didn't make an event out of letting their kids out - children regulary "hung out" after school, and often after dinner, particularly when it was still light. And in the urban areas, hanging at the corner store or local park was ritual.

We "hung out" every day or went "driving around"  It was common to T.P. trees, egg cars and soap windows during Halloween or homecoming etc.   I didn't throw eggs, but i did soap windows and TP'd more than a few trees in my days.

We did all sorts of crazy things when I was a kid that were considered harmless pranks and today would land a kid in detention if not jail.  Times have changed and I don't think for the better. I'd hate to grow up the way things are today.

BIG SIGH AND VIBES TO YOU BOTH!

when the other vet said the chart was wrong & he doesn't use phosphate anymore, did he say what they used?

LOL!  Several of us were standing around in the lobby at 9am when the floodgates were opened.  One of the regulars went by and said, "I thought you all were going to dress up today."  Jerk.

Warm water and glycerine, but the time when the chart says it was phosphate is when her doctor was gone and the one I don't really like was there.

I was just sitting here wishing that I could reschedule my 4:00PM appointment so I could go home and work (I have a bunch of writing to do and that I can do at home) when my 4:00 PM appointment called! There was no problem rescheduling, so I'm packing up a bunch of work and heading home.   My imagination of how Callie is doing is worse than how she seems when I'm there.
