Turns out that part of her brain had dropped through the hole in the roof of the ear canal, so they had to move it back into place before they could do the patching.

Thats crazy. Did that mean her brain tilted? It seems pretty solid-ish that part of it would not drop.

Took our pug, Otis, to the vet. He has a reaction to the shot he gets so we give him Benadryl before appt.
Otis would not take the pill at home, so we tried again in the waiting room of the vet. I stuck it in his mouth and held it closed. He waited and spit it out. My wife tried, he spit it out, tried again and Otis didnt spit it out. We waited a few more minutes then got called back. Went tot he scale first. Otis does not like the scale so that took a bit. Then we weighed the cat in the carrier and went back to the exam room. Otis wandered, went under my wifes chair, etc. We left the vet and was driving home and we get a call from the vet. They found the Benadryl. Otis waited until we couldnt see him and spit it out. Man, that dude is stubborn.

Haha.
I've tried a million things with dogs and pills. Cheese, Peanut butter, pill pockets, hidden in food, grinded up into powder and put into food, ham, turkey, pieces of hot dog, brute force. There's no real right answer, every dog is different. My border collie was the best though, he would take any pill I gave him without any tricks or snacks or anything.

I'm attempting to make air fried chicken for the first time, wish me luck.
Verdict: 6/10 The chicken itself was nice and juicy but the skin wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. I think I tried to cram too much in my air fryer and didn't leave enough room for air to circulate. On the plus side I only burned myself once.

There is an innate sadness in me watching some of the movies I did as a teen/20 something.
I managed to watch "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and thought to myself during the closing credits as the mall closed up, how I missed those days, the boredom, the wondering of what I was to do those nights, finding friends (or not) and wasting the rest of the weekend. I just watched a blast from the past "Over the Edge" which I liked watched a few times on HBO when I was probably 10 or 11 and I was blown away by the idea of kids in revolt. Now 45, I watch it and it's just so bizarre to watch movies like that. I think it's the naturalism of real kids being used in the movie, the characters were types I recognized growing up. To me, those types of films encapsulated closer to reality the mundanity and boredom of teen life. And I wasn't even a teen yet. Hell, when those movies came out I was between 4 and 7, but they were always on cable as I got older. I dunno, I guess it's strange at this point in life to be the teachers or adults in fast times that can't understand the youth, or the adults/parents in Over the Edge, who are oblivious and scared of their kids.

Claude is a fucking riot. That scene is burned into my memory as a kid first watching it. Bragging that he took speed before the quiz and then finding out it's acid and it's an essay on Bosch paintings was twisted. I like it later when the teacher is handing out the emergency meeting and stating they just want to find Carl and that he isn't in trouble and he mouths the word "bullshit". When the girl dances with the gun and aims it at Carl was one of those nail biters. Matt Dillon was damn hilarious too being proud that he was incorrible and Carl correcting him that it was incorrigible. I mean the Sopranos stole that for multiple seasons. I think the secret weapon was the girl that was Cory's friend Abby. I watched the documentary and she was an extra when they pooled kids in Colorado where it was filmed (the leads are all New Yorkers which is why they seem to be mumblers but it's really their dialect). But Abby man, she mocks Dillon's shooting ("You couldn't hit an elephant if it came up and kissed you), rebuffed his advances, and then tells off the deranged cop while holding a giant globe ("Suck it pig"). I mean that's a trifecta of moments (I think BIll Simmons in the Rewatchables would say she was the heat check). I mean the dialogue was adlibbed but on point. The kids were really naturalistic. The soundtrack is amazing when you think about how it caught some bands before their peak. I think the story while a little over the top did really express the boredom and frustration. It even has a cameo from the prosecutor of My Cousin Vinny as Sloan! I just love it as a movie. I really like that the setup is kind of at the boil over point and not a long beginning. The kids are already friends and know each other. I also sympathize with the parents and even Doberman the cop. I don't think they were fascists or deserved the reaction. I think it's sad at the end that even though Doberman arrests Carl, he isn't about putting him away for life or anything, he's telling him he's gotta make better choices and that it's up to him. That's why the ending is a little more extreme (Not to say about Ritchie (Matt Dillon)'s fate). I wish there were more movies that were this naturalistic.

Not as many as watched when it was on USA (and later CNBC/USA split coverage ... after moving to FS1 the audience is down to a quarter of it's early 2010s peak) but for many years it was routinely in the top three in audience on its night. It's still a ratings winner even in its decline.

Last night I learned my 9 month old golden is obsessed with watching swimming. She’s never shown much interest in the TV before but I guess there’s something about the splashing that gets her attention.

The cicada infestation is so random. In central KY, I haven't heard or seen a single one. Less than 90 minutes north, they are everywhere.
We moved my daughter into her new apartment near the NKY airport, and in addition to it being 88 degrees and humid as hell, we had to avoid flying cicadas and dead bodies everywhere. It was an awful 2 hours.

One of our dogs constantly barks at anything that remotely resembles an animal on TV, and the other dog constantly barks at the other barking dog.

I have seen maybe one (dead) in Frederick, if that's even what it was. My guess is they can't burrow into our crappy, clay-like soil. Listen to others on work calls and you can hear the drone in the background.

We had a "no talk zone" from the parking lot to the stairs because of all the trees and being worried one or two would fly into someone's mouth as we moved furniture.

And when someone needed a break, we had our daughter walking with us to put a blanket down so we could rest the furniture or mattresses on the ground without picking up a dozen dead bodies.

My daughter made several batches of homemade cookies using Oreos and Oreo cookies and cream pudding mix. The result is a soft, homemade chocolate chip cookie that tastes like an Oreo, and I've eaten a dozen since last night.

I got an email from a company that said " Less than 2 months til' ..."
That might be worse than using the wrong to/too/two or there/their/they're.

In case anyone was concerned about the missing, possibly ghost beaver from a few pages ago:
Was driving to work after lunch and spotted the beaver chilling near the curb close to where he's been seen before. As I got closer he slowly started to make his way into the grass. So fear not, the beaver is alive... or at least one of his family members is still alive. |

Waffle house waffles aren't that big. He could be out of there pretty fast if he has any capacity for consumption.
