I do not really have much to report for now other than what I have already mentioned to you all at the other forums. Though something interesting happened to me today.
I discovered COSTCO! The people that do the shopping for the clinic use Costco and we needed a new account. I was skeptical at first as I sat looking at my polish sausage with onions and mustard but it was love at first bite. I actually almost got another one to take home.
Then I wandered around with them and I happened to see these huge blocks of cheese. I mean epic huge blocks of cheese. I really, really, really wanted to go over and make a cheesegloo out of them.
EDIT: And just in case you all were wondering why I have been absent lately it is a combination of BL2 and I slammed a car door on my finger and had to stitch it up. It hurt and still hurts very much. I thought it might be broken so decided to take an xray. Well that is not entirely true, I knew if it was broken there really was nothing to be done other than immobilizing it like I already had, I wanted to make sure I did not totally powder the bone by crushing it. Luckily nothing is broken. It took me two hours to stitch and I only put 8 stitches in. But that is not my fault because it is awkward stitching your own finger up.

Costco is pretty sweet.
I was so excited when the opened one here, and gave out free membership/accounts

It is pretty awesome. Kind of makes me sad I never went before.

And you have lady balls of steel stiching yourself up.
BPB you need to check out Costco. I have mad sewing skills.
EDIT: And I forgot to tell you all that I found this bread there too, it is called "Blueberry Streusel" by Archer Farms. It is really tasty.

Hell, if Walk ever needed to have a finger amputated, she's just bite the fucker off and cauterize the stump with a blow torch.

Cauterize with the sun and a magnifying glass.
In other news after exhaustive scientific research I have discovered that the bread I mentioned above is quite delicious with crunchy peanut butter.

If I were to report every single day the workings both intricate and overt about this little adventure would any of you find that interesting?
I mean seriously it is like a real soap opera/unreality show/surreal comedy/crime drama/pull on the heart strings Oxygen network bit....
On the way home from a friends house this morning I stopped by the hospital and was greeted by the paramedics, police and firemen leaving the premises. Apparently one of the clients that brought their animal in for emergency care could not pay and tried to steal their animal back from the rear of the clinic. One of the doctors was explaining to them that their animal needs treatment and the person grabbed their pet and inadvertently tore off the protective cover of the nitro patch which then got all over the doctors arm. Not sure how long after that the doctor dropped like a sack of bricks like he had a heart attack.
Doctor is fine, patient is fine and the client is.. well besides being loopy I am not sure what is going on with that.

That sounds weird. I'd read it, but you should balance it with some comedy!

The influence of Doctors on technicians and the impact of technicians on doctors is sometimes overwhelming.
Had a Doctor leave on maternity and three technicians quit. I had a Technician move to Germany and one doctor quits.
So now the hospital has to do something that I do not like but have no other choice, I have to refer all of our Ophthalmology and eye surgery cases to Davis.

Made the decision to finally axe the doggie bed and breakfast (boarding area) that was attached to the hospital along with the grooming facility
Have to wait and see how that turns out.

what is going on here?
We need a cat in my home. One that doesn't shed, what kind do you recommend?

Are mature male Bobcats also Tomcats? If you had a pet and named it Joncat the tomcat bobcat, it would be confused like a Democrat on live Debate.

All animals shed either hair or dander. There is no such thing as a hypoallergenic pet no matter how much animal planet wants to convince the world. You should get a whale or a Giant Cockroach, I hear they both have a hard time leaving hair about.

Well the only real way is to get a hairless cat but not a lot of people like them and they do have their own set of issues. You could just try for a short hair breed. Best way is to just brush them often.
