Kristine,

Mike here, writing from Pam’s login with two thoughts.

First, to spur your husband’s interest in the goat, let him know you’re willing to meet him in the middle and get a saber-toothed goat. That should do it.

Second, regarding whether your cat is plotting your death. . . yes, yes he is. (After all, that’s what cats do.)

Regards, Mike

At the risk of being too gross, I will say that other bodily fluids that accompany illness are attractive to dogs as well.

And last night I was reading John Bradshaw on the domestication of dogs who speculated they may have helped earlier civilizations from having their (human) waste get out of hands. Yucko!

I just hope she doesn’t miss and get my finger by mistake. It is dark at night. 🙂

If they dig gore, Sam and Monty might make even better paramedics than nurses.

I was thinking of how a shark would come across to all those door-to-door solicitors we get. 🙂

Keep trying to teach history. I often wonder how different our political debates would look if more people had a background into how things became they way they are today.

I think blood is right up there with antifreeze, lead paint chips, and other things that taste sweet if you don’t have the part of your brain that tells you to stay away from such things. I don’t worry about such things as much as my husband.

Of course, I never hurt myself. 🙂

Bwa hahahahahaha! 🙂

I hope Mike doesn’t get another boo boo that I can watch Honey’s reaction more carefully. But if he does, I’ll remember what you said about appearing worried.

Mike and I both love the kind of humor you’re talking about. Remember Blazing Saddles: “Well, my name is Jim. But my friends call me… Jim.”

GLP–I’m glad you’re feeling better now. I never think of wisdom tooth removal as easy. It is surgery after all. Of course, I’m such a scaredy cat that I once avoided the dentist for 10 years. When I finally showed up, the hygienist said I must have the immune system of an Amazon.

Elizabeth–You come by any time you’re ailing and I’ll be glad to write a silly song for you too. 🙂
