The topic: It’s noo-clee-ur!

----------------------------------------------

Say it the way it’s spelled...nuclear.

nu cle ar

It is NOT noo que lur.  Look at it, look at the word.  Is it spelled nucular?  No, it’s not.  And if your daddy’s a teacher and your brother is a teacher, then for Pete’s sake, gosh darn it, whyncha let them tell ya the proper pronounciation *wink wink* (folksy enough for ya?)?

It’s not funny when Dubya (the worst president ever) says it wrong and it was like fingernails on a chalkboard to hear Palin say it at least three times last night.

No one, NObody who is obviously incapable of saying the damned word, a very important word, in this day and age, the way it should be said, will EVER get a vote from me.

We found a dime, two nickels and two pennies on our walk this morning

Today’s tummy is compliments of Benjamin.  Benny.  Bennybennybuttcat.  Stretched out on the coffee table last night because it was still incredibly warm here.  I think I speak for the entire clowder when I say that cooler weather can’t get here soon enough.

The topic: If my father

----------------------------------------------

Had taken better care of himself, eating right, exercising....you know the drill…

He would have turned 80 today.  But no, he oversalted his food, ate way too much red meat, didn’t visit a doctor regularly, took prescription pills meant for other people (real smart; and keep in mind my dad worked in the medical profession, he was an x-ray technician) and in May 1987, he passed out at work.  Testing found out he had heart problems and diabetes (which is why he’d lost weight, without dieting), his place of employment, UCSD Medical Center, had to send him over to Kaiser Permanente (which I still think is odd, but that was his medical insurance provider), they put him in ICU and the first morning after the first night his heart didn’t stop during his sleep, they did a stress test and sent him home.

He died the next night.  The day before Mother’s Day, 1987.  I found the Mother’s Day card he had for mom in her effects.  He’d never had a chance to sign it.

He was 58 years old. 

Well, anyway, happy birthday Dad!  Hope you’re having a hell of a party now that mom’s back with ya.

The topic: When was the last time you did this?

----------------------------------------------

I put Advantage on thirty cats Friday.

It was lots of fun.  Oh, yeah, lots and lots.

The topic: Woohoo!

----------------------------------------------

The backyard cam is back up and running!  I don’t know what the problem was, but Brian got on the roof this morning, just to adjust where it pointed, and the remote started working again.

I’m wondering if there was a loose connection somewhere.  He swears he didn’t touch any wires, but something changed.

He’d made a cover for the glass globe when we changed the camera out earlier this year and he put that up this morning. So, I’m thinking there won’t be as much glare from the sun in the afternoon and there won’t be as much moisture on it in the morning when I first start it up.

Way cool!

Caught Bobby taking a bath yesterday, grabbed the camera and grabbed a photo.  He didn’t mind.
