The next line is almost as good -

"I love him, because he's . . . . I don't know!
Because he's just my Bill."

No wonder she's so good at it!

How could a loving God ever create cold viruses?

Baby

had this one last week; it didn't seem that nasty for her. It is absolutely wiping me out! Today, the only thing I was good for was sitting around watching movies on Netflix. For some reason, I'm going with musicals - Jesus Christ Superstar and Into the Woods (and yes, the latter made me think of you, eenie!)

An excellent choice.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is another fun one, though a little more fluffy and a little less funny.

It happened after the Fall of Man.

I believe it is to keep us thankful. How could we ever appreciate feeling great, being able to breath through both nostrals, and not having a red nose and eyes, if we always had those things? God created colds for comparison.

Well you are for sure a 'glass half full' sort of person. I prefer to kick the glass over.

Ah, but then the glass shatters and the little shards stab into your foot...

the little shard stuck in your foot then starts to fester......

the infection takes violent hold and you end up having to go to the Hospital for IV anti-biotics......

Then, you finally get better and go home and get the hospital bill......

And then you wonder just how hospitals are run, because there is no way, out in the real world, that a glass of water ever costs $300!

Alaskan, stop projecting - just try living in the moment.

Projecting? Like a projector?

Like a giant TV? Huh?

*sigh* Do you really want that mental image, Alaskan?

And actually, my comment about cold viruses was a play on a line from an old Charles Schultz cartoon, "How could a loving God ever create big brothers?" - from the book Two by Fours. (there's no telling where my brain goes . . . . Which reminds me, has anyone seen it running around here? It's small, kinda fuzzy . . )

In the line of "being grateful for small favors," it appears that I am in one of the cycles that trouble comes in. Latte (one of my horses) has apparently decided I wasn't paying enough attention to her. Her right foreleg had nearly doubled in size this morning. $250 worth of Vet visit later, we have a diagnosis of a foreign body (like a splinter) so we're doing antibiotics and poultices and that sort of fun stuff. We're talking horses here, so if I get off this cheap, I've a lot to be thankful for.

Wow, sorry about Latte, Bunny. If it's any consolation, I dropped $80 at the vet today, too. Paisley dog had a badly swollen eye that was matted and she was rubbing it on anything she could get to. Turned out to be a chemical burn! Huh? I have three boys, there's no telling what happened. The only thing I know for sure is that it was not intentional. They love that dog. She is expected to make a full recovery with some drops made from her own blood, some antibiotic drops, some anti-inflammatory/pain killers and lots of hugs and kisses. We had just gotten her enthusiastic about going for rides in the car (she had Parvo as a pup and the trips to the vet nearly ruined her for car rides.) This evening, she wouldn't even go outside to potty because the backdoor leads out to where the car is parked! Poor pup..........
