New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
More like, cheap beef disguised with lovely spices.
Evening, everyone!
OB they're asking for volunteers for the American Royal Barbecue team here at work. Think I should volunteer? :)
Needs a border around the pic, tho...looks like el jefe has been dealt a bad haircut :)
Well, I'm back.
Jeepers. We were at the vets a loooooong time. We got the slow vet... I like him, but he really takes his time... he sat looking in the cat's eye for a good long time, moving him this way and that, peering at it from every angle.... and he says "You know, I don't know if it's good news or bad news, but some of these things are just beautiful to look at!"
He thought the eye should go, unless I wanted to go to a kitty optometrist and try to save it, but he also has that cataract lens, and the lens is just floating around free in there now, that is why it changes now. The alternative to taking it out appears to be drops 3X per day to relieve the pressure for life. Kitty doesn't like the drops, it sounds like a pain.
The surgery is not cheap. It's gonna be $470-$600 egads. Can't you treat Glaucoma with Marijuana? Seems like I heard that somewhere. He said the glaucoma is indeed painful (I wouldn't have left it so long had I known about pain) but I really hadn't noticed any pain unless he's had a headache for three years and that's why he attacks the dog ;~D.
Gidget on the other hand, does not have a broken toe or any other joint or bone problem, so she's got a strain or a sprain or something, and we are just supposed to keep her quiet. Riiiiiiiight. Got her on Rimadyl again too.
What adventures!
I'm almost glad I don't have pets.
I know a guy who'll take that eye out for around $500 if'n it's causing you any problems!
That's biblical. If your eye offends you, pluck it out.
Some people are meant to be vets... and *not* people doctors.
Mmmmm. I had some boiled Gulf Shrimp in my green salad tonight.
HA! Things you don't want to hear from your Gynecologist.
Or you could just wear safety glasses around the chickens.
LOL! Looks like the old reader from my Catholic Elementary school! I still have the 4th grade and 7th grade readers!
Mmm... sounds good.
But, too expensive for me to be able to justify! I sometimes think I spend too much on plain meat, but man, it's so good.
You'd have to hold the joint for Kitty to smoke, wouldn't you?
I'm just askin is all ;~D
I know you're already gone, sis - but I'll be praying for that eye. Please try to be careful! I think you should wear protective goggles!! LOL!
I got these down in MS right from the company that catches them! They were only $4.50 a pound! I brought back 9 - 5lb. boxes of frozen shrimp in my luggage!
Ruthy has a good suggestion. You can get safety glasses for pretty cheap at WalMart or Lowe's.
