I wonder if the new potty training movie is any good...it's called How to Drain Your Dragon.

It's staff appreciation week at work this week. There was a health fair at lunch today. I walked around and looked at the different booths. But I only stopped to guess how many golf tees were in a gallon jar for a chance to win a $100 cash card. I also entered some raffle for a bunch of health stuff like duffel bags, water bottles, and cook books.

Well I WON!!!!!! Woo hoo! I won a free health assessment at a local gym. For my prize, I get to be poked and prodded and given a hard sell to join a gym.

My daughter has this nasty stuffed dog she has to sleep with. It was once white and had relatively long shaggy hair; now it is grayish and the fur on both sides is matted worse than dredlocks. But the strands are still separable along the top and underside, and twice now, she has unexpectedly awoken from her nap because she completely entwined one finger in the mass of fur and the circulation to her fingertip was cut off.

So today, after I pinned her flailing arm down long enough to cut the thing off her purple finger, I gave her stuffed dog a haircut. He's looking much more sleek now.

Nah, I'm actually kind of mean--I did it even though I knew there was a decent chance she might freak out at the alteration to her special doggie (she didn't, fortunately.) I had this lingering fear that one day she wouldn't wake up in time, or I wouldn't hear her crying right away, and she'd lose her dang fingertip.

ya'but you could have just thrown it away.
You cut the fur but did so to satisfy safety needs and to let her keep her beloved fur ball.

Neither is the word Abices. Spell checker won't let me get away with it. Writing "Abacuses" bothers me.........Dana has a great view on this topic about root words and transformations, as it used to be Apices which is much closer to the way, I want to spell it.

When I write "Abacuses" it's comparable to the feeling of nails across a chalkboard. This closes the discussion before I have to write it again and annoy myself.

Abacus ... abaci. Well, the spell checker doesn't like it, but it works in crosswords.

Finally... 400 Posts. Took me four fuckin' years to get there too.

That's quite an achievement. What's that come out to? About one post a day.

Somebody give me a cookie.
