    Feline UTI's - advice welcome!

    Well, the cat was freaking out - he is VERY aggressive and VERY angry when he's taken to the vet, so I didn't want to subject everyone to his screaming any longer than I had to. Also I was trying to get to work and not lose more time. Thirdly, the vet was kind enough to see me on an emergency...

    Feline UTI's - advice welcome!

    My poor tabby Caz has a UTI :( We went to the vet this morning and she said he has lots of blood in his urine and crystals as well. She gave him an antibiotic shot and said I need to give him an antibiotic tablet every day for the next 10 days. Also, she said he needs to get Hill's...

    Favorite Romantic Song

    Thanks for all of the suggestions!! I'll defintely be using many of them! I was just brain fried and couldn't think of anything else. Unfortunately many of my jazz compilations are compiled of multiples of the same song, done by different people. If anyone else has a suggestion, I still have...

    Season 5's American Idol: Katherine or Taylor?

    Sure, yep, he said that, as did Paula. BUT, everyone knew Katherine didn't choose the song, she didn't need to whine "But I didn't pick it!" like that. Randy was being diplomatic in not saying that the boss guy picked a bad song for her - he didn't want to tick that guy off. Her saying "But I...

    Da Vinci Code on film

    I'd like to say that, in my opinion, saying that a novel is "based on fact" is NOT saying that every single thing said in that novel is a fact. Ok so, Matt Lauer asks him, "Is this book based on reality?" (i.e. fact), and Dan Brown says "yes." He took some historical facts and expounded on...

    Favorite Romantic Song

    We have to come up with 60 fast and 60 slow songs to be played at our wedding reception, and I've only been able to come up with 25 or so for my side. Suggestions on good romantic songs, both slow & fast, are most welcome! We like: Swing & Big Band Jazz (me) Blues (me) Rockabilly (him) 80s...

    Just got home from Thailand

    I was born there (State Dept brat) but we left when I was 6 months old. One of my life's goals is to go back :)

    Season 5's American Idol: Katherine or Taylor?

    I hope Taylor wins. Well, I thought it would be Chris. Then I hoped it would be Elliott. Now I'm .. meh. Katharine, I really liked her mid-season because she knew what her strengths were (hair, lips, dirty pillows, etc) and worked them to her best advantage. But now she's getting whiny...

    Da Vinci Code on film

    I would also prefer that personal opinions about the subject matter behind the novel not be included in this thread, because then it will inevitably be locked. I'd prefer that didn't happen. Some people prefer to think the novel/movie are based completely in fact. Some people believe it's all...

    24 (Aired 5/18) SPOILER REQUEST

    I read a blurb in either People or US Weekly that was a brief interview with the actor who portrays Logan. He said, to paraphrase, that his character will be back in the next season. Granted, that could be in recaps or flashbacks, but it sounds like he's not dying this round.

    24 (Aired 5/18) SPOILER REQUEST

    Just to be nitpicky :p It was the American naval officer in charge of the inspection who was shot by Bierko while going topside, not the Russian captain of the sub. First lady kickin arse and taking names, finally....

    What's the dumbest thing you've ever had to do at work?

    When I was in college, I worked as a security guard on a large campus with three buildings and some ponds out front. There were bluegills in the ponds. So every weekend when it was nice out, we would have to go out and tell fishermen to move. One high-up muckety-muck of the company lived...

    Presidential Speech Tonight....

    Awesome, thanks! ABC.com was still showing Grey's Anatomy starting at 7 central but my boss says it's now been bumped to 8 central. He said the speech is at 8 EST/7 CST, anyone know for sure, to confim?

    Presidential Speech Tonight....

    So no "24" or season finale of "Grey's Anatomy" for me .. unless when they said 8 on the radio was 8 EST, in which case I should be good. Anyone know what time Le Prez is on tonight?

    Jobhunting

    I agree that Monster.com can be a good tool for jobhunters. But I'd recommend taking their other advice with a grain of salt. I've been looking for another position here in Iowa. Monster.com recommended sending a "follow up letter" that explains why I'd be suited for the job, saying thanks...

    Serenity DVD [SPOILERS]

    Hmm. I never said "shoot a gun well," i.e. be "good" with a gun. Oh well. You took what you wanted from it. *shrug* I do believe guns are thug weapons compared to bows or knives. That's my personal opinion. Kindly respect it. I personally think she briefly was trying to commit suicide...

    Whedon sounds death knell for Firefly/Serenity

    Yeah, one season too many, in my opinion. It's a dead horse.

    Serenity DVD [SPOILERS]

    Hmm. I guess I didn't make myself clearer. I never understood that Inara was "clueless" about guns, but that she preferred weapons that took style, finesse, and skill to use. Any idiot can shoot a gun and with luck hit a target, but a bow requires much practice and innate skill to use well...

    Serenity DVD [SPOILERS]

    From what I gather in the Firefly series and what I've read here and elsewhere, Inara's use of the bow ties into her Companion training. Obviously in this verse, being a Companion means being well-versed in many old traditions, such as pouring a proper tea (we see her doing this in the film...
