Piss

I find the anthropomorphic piggy bank disturbing on several levels.

I took Loki to the vet for his annual check up. He received a clean bill of health and he is not overweight. 79.3 pounds. He will have to come back to the vet to receive a lepto booster. Apparently, lepto has made an appearance in Brazos County. It is a disease that dogs get from drinking stagnant water or eating things that squirrels have urinated on. I need to follow the advice of Mary Worth and EDUCATE MYSELF about lepto.

I'm fighting what I think is a minor UTI. I had to make two extra stops, one on the way to the vet and one on the way home. I drank four cups of cranberry juice. That stuff has more calories than Coke! 140 calories per serving and the two bottles had two servings. I also took some pills that provide relief and turns my urine into a shocking shade of orange.

Thanks to the cranberry juice I will go over my daily recommended amount of calories (1,980 - 2,330). That does not bother me. I hope my body made good use of all that cranberry juice.

I added the title after I realized the direction that this post was going.

You can make me feel better by admitting that you follow this blog and make my blog follower widget look less pathetic.

Maybe a few clicks will justify my existence

Dennis has a pet Lemur! Cool!

Power is out and the Lockhorns have to bundle up by the fire. Leroy tries to make the best of the situation by quoting Thoreau. Probably bits from Walden. As the power outage goes on and temperatures drop Loretta snarks about her husband's attempt at getting something out of this inconvenience.

Loretta, cut Leroy some slack. He has the rare ability to appreciate the stupidity of Family Guy and quote Thoreau. Leroy can quote Thoreau! Jeez, have some respect for his learning. Sure familiarity with Thoreau is not too useful in these conditions but quoting by Thoreau, Leroy attempts to use this bit of adversity for spiritual growth. Loretta, all you do is mock. Unfortunately, a jury will not buy, "She mocked my attempt at spiritual growth."

Oh, god, I'm delving into the thoughts and motivations of comic strip characters! And trying to counsel them! Whoa, having a brief moment of doubt about the utility and meaning of my existence. Maybe going over to the Hunger Site and clicking a few times will help.

At last, a young Mary Worth. That pink kerchief is all that is left of the pink outfit she had to wear as a child. Living through the Great Depression made Mary the dispenser of well-intentioned if not fully thought out advice she is today? This also explains so much about Mary - buying the cheap dog food, attempting to make her food go a long way by making casseroles, and purchasing items barely recognizable as food.

Mary Worth was a red-headed stepchild!
