How I Write
Since good writing is much discussed lately, I thought I’d throw open the closet door and reveal my secrets to the world. Or as much of the world as is still on Gather – . . . more
"When I took Japanese, on Day 1, we were taught how to bow. It's like learning to say hello - which in Japan, you basically can't do without bowing - at least not to someone you don't know well." more
"I've always thought that opening a "Christmas-Free Zone" would be a great prospect. Just a shopping mall for people who aren't Xmas shopping, don't want to hear another word about Rudolph, and would like . . ." more
"Interesting, but for a country that can't even change it's health care system, I doubt we'll be seeing anything this revolutionary any time soon." more
But but but I did, didn't I? Didn't I comment somewhere over in FBLand what my three faves were? Definitely the weather piece, fer sher. I'll have to go refresh my rememory.
Hey Sarah! I'm just popping in to post some annoying pings, and I didn't want you to feel left out! Okay, now that the formalities are out of the way... would you please DO SOMETHING about Boehner and McConnell! I've just about gotten Michelle Bachmann involuntarily relegated to the loony bin (I figure one or two more appearances with Hannity and that'll be a done deal!) so you know I've been doing my part!
I see Barb is talking about urine and bladders and such. I can't compete with that. The best that I can do is share this little tidbit: I know what time it is by the sensations relayed by my bladder. Have a pleasant day.
I watched a vet do it to get a sterile urine sample. Then one holiday weekend I had a ferret that blocked and I needed to keep him alive until the Casodex kicked in. I've flet enough ferrets now that I know what the bladder feels like, but when you go to stick it, it's still a stick in the dark. I take blood the same way ... from the clavicle vein (no shaving needed).
I gave him a torb shot (doped him up good) and used a big syringe to draw out 60cc of urine. That's a LOT out of a little ferret. He's going to the vet's tommorrow at 11am where we will decide if he lives or dies. He has a terrible lump where I punctured him this morning. I must have hit his spleen. It's amazing he didn't bleed to death during the day. I'm just trying to help him and I may well have sealed his fate. :(
