yogis have better sex

is it bad that jezebel.com is becoming one of my favorite news sources? i love that site! today it led me to this msnbc.com story about the sexual health benefits of regular yoga practice. according to this study, women are more aroused and have better orgasms. men don't ejaculate too soon. win win.

possible HBC



hbc, in veterinary shorthand, means hit by car. i learned this last night when i took kingsley to the emergency clinic because of a possible hbc.

i let him out into the back yard to pee, which he did and then he wandered back to the alley in a routine search for discarded fast food treats. i was inside washing dishes. he'd been outside maybe 5 minutes before he wandered back in and headed for the living room. i didn't notice that anything was wrong until he limped back into the kitchen about 20 minutes later holding his front paw off the ground. then i saw the road rash on his hind leg. he could barely walk.

i freaked out gradually over the next couple of hours. and even though i'd checked for obvious breaks or tenderness and didn't find anything, i was full of worst case scenarios. i finally picked him up and carried his enormous 70 pounds out to the car. the vet seemed fairly confident that he is just sprained and very confident that there are no internal injuries. so, for $100 i got relative peace of mind and kingsley got one (yes, ONE) painkiller.

it's now been nearly 24 hours since the accident and he's walking with just a slight limp and putting weight on his fore leg again. he even ran around a bit in the back yard.

i am soooooo lucky. and i guess its time to get a fence.

another bobcat

i walked into the shop this morning and saw a bobcat sleeping on the ground. then i saw the blood and realized it wasn't sleeping. my coworker hit this one on the way to work this morning. :( it's so beautiful. looks like the population in nebraska may be making a recovery.

Girls: Get Lost Love Back - ExBoyfriendGuru.net

- Dirty Tricks to Win Him Back Fast. Get Him Back in 7 ½ Days (really).

this was the banner ad on my gmail account when i signed in this morning! seven and a half days, huh? what's up with the half day? perhaps this is this how exboyfriendguru gets an edge on the competition... the other leading gurus promise you love in eight days, but who can wait that extra twelve hours? we'll get him back for you in 7.5.

sounds like a bargain.

oh, and is there an exgirlfriend guru as well?
