    Riley’s Favorite: Ocean Whitefish and Tuna Feast Classic

    With Riley’s health issues, we’ve struggled at times to get his weight up. Not a problem if we give him his ‘favorite’ flavors of Fancy Feast. They have so many options that it can be confusing: gravy? Grilled? Loaf? Classic? Cuts? For the record, Ocean Whitefish and Tuna Feast Classic gets the NOMNOMNOMS award. He Hoovered an entire can at breakfast, then licked the plate. Just now he put away 3/4 of a second can for lunch. He also likes the tuna and shrimp. He’s doing really well, but gets prednisolone(anti-inflammatory) daily, and every two weeks we get a blood…

    Get Ready For an Avalanche of Links

    I just realized the plugin I had called Postalicious was no longer working; either my Feedburner feed of my del.icio.us links died, or the new www.delicious.com changes screwed up the feed at their end. Figured it out, fixed it, will see about creating some “stacks.” Followed one for Hyperbole and a Half, so let’s have caaaaake.

    You Can’t Get On That Flight, But Your Congressman Can

    As a corporate travel agent who books business people into and out of Washington, I find this disturbing on a couple of levels. For one thing, some airlines (Southwest) will debit a travel agency the cost of a full fare ticket if they let a reservation go unticketed by the time the flight departs. Other carriers merely mark ticketed reservations that are not used (“no-showed”) as valueless for future use or exchange. On the other hand, I have access to some elevated customer service desks on certain carriers (including Delta), for which I have occasionally been really, really thankful. Delta…

    The World’s Most Boring Blog

    Yes! It’s right here! I have had nothing interesting to say for weeks or months on end! Meanwhile, congratulations to Annie Mole for keeping her Going Underground London Tube Blog fresh and interesting for almost nine years. We’ve been back from our most recent vacation (to Colorado again) for a couple of weeks, yet today is the first time I’ve been able to tear myself away from playing Bejeweled Blitz and the TV long enough to upload some of the pictures… which may or may not get uploaded to Flickr. I’ve got some photos from the recent “Pet Blessing” at…

    Thunderstorm over O’Hare – Windy City

    Very, very windy; I’m getting turbulence just sitting in the car! My husband David is coming in in about 25 minutes, probably having a bumpy flight. Signs getting blown a lot, roof on a nearby bus shelter is looking like some trim might blow off. But I’m in a good spot to watch planes land and head over to pick him up; he says he just carried on. Don’t envy him the ride he’s getting… Via: Flickr Title: Thunderstorm over O’Hare – Windy City By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 29 Sep ’11, 5.48pm CDT
