Collected Thoughts

I've meant to get this up for a long time. There's an industry magazine about airports. And there was a Canadian issue. One of the articles is about Air Tindi, a charter comapny in Yellowknife. I don't know how helpful this is a resource, but I found it to be interesting.

I realized I left everyone hanging about Mom's cat. He doesn't have renal failure or FIV, he does have some liver problems but the vet was stumped and suggested Mom give him 5mg of Pepcid to try and help his stomach. and said maybe he'd gotten into something toxic and was working it out of his system.

Mom took him home and he perked up, started drinking water and showing interest in food but not eating any. We gave him Pepcid and started seeing what he would eat - some bread, a bit of ham, and kibble -- but ONLY if he was hand fed. Well she gave him some canned food and he licked it dry and then nibbled on some.

Yesterday I hand fed him kibble and tried to coax him to eat out of the dish. Finally he did and ate quite a bit. Which is an improvement, Mom was getting worried because he's lost weight and you can feel his spine and some ribs. He's MUCH perkier, even showed interest in the yarn when I was practicing crocheting. And instead of curling into a tight little ball and looking miserable he's stretching out and wants to be petted. So, no idea what's wrong but it looks like he's on the mend. We are catious and I'm worried he'll take another turn for the worst. It's been very trying on Mom.

Oh! and when I was hand feeding him he started making chirpy noises that kind of sounded like he was saying "num num num". He was quite cute and we fawned over him.

My cat discovered a container of crunchies that was on the floor. The lid was loose and she managed to work it off and was pulling the crunchies out of the bottle and eating them. I left it on the floor (but on a towel) to see what she would do, and she'll go over there every so often and pull them out of the container and eat them. I'm probably more amused by this than I should be.

I've found ONE back up cd. It has vids, it's a pretty early backup as well. I can't find the rest of the vid back ups, or the back ups for anything else, which sucks! because there was stuff on there that I end up deleting on the old computer due to hard drive constraints.

I've been a downloading fool and now I'm reorgnaizing my vid folder so all of the vids can go in their happy little homes. Of course while I organize I have to WATCH. And now I can squee over vids!

Whatever! ( Read more... )

I downloaded vids in the past few days that I've never seen before, and I was wondering if there's any kind of vid etiquette for discussing , comparing and constrasting, etc vids in your own lj. Like, should I let the vidder know what I'm saying? Should I just put it under a friends lock so not to worry about that? Because there are some vids I'd like to say something about, but I don't particularly like them and I don't want to step on anyone's toes.

Actually my new speakers love carrots. Hot damn I have real speakers and they kick ASS. Let me tell you. I got the at Sam's (if we had a costco I would have looked for them there). On my computer there are all kinds of settings for speakers -- arena, alley, quarry, padded cell, underwater and I've been playing with those.

Now I have to go watch more vids...
