	The Past 24 Hours Remove this text

Got off work yesterday around 4pm... Went to the store to grab some beer, then to this Italian deli to get some ravioli, and then by blockbuster to get some movies.

The beer; Budweiser Select, it ain't "manly" but it's low carb and I like it.

The Ravioli; home made, uncook, beef. They make cheese, lobster, chicken, and a specialty; usually a TexMex which is really a spicy meat. I got the meat because that is what wifey likes.

The Movies; Elektra - ok for the most part, though I could watch Jennifer Gardner do nothing for 90 minutes... Flight of the Phoenix - the first hour is good, the last hour sucks... Taxi - haven't watched it yet.

Got home, noticed that Buddy (my dog) was acting strange. Wifey caught her scratching her but, and revealed an Anal Absest, a big, swollen, *****, blood spewing soar on her arse. It wasn't there the day before as I caught her doing the same thing and checked. Anyway, we rush to the Vets, he says it needs to be operated on and wifey (who is pretty much a vet agrees).

Today

We drop her off for the surgey... GO to breakfast, then to the mall. Decide to watch Sahara; right as it is starting the Vet calls says Buddy can go home and that they close in 90 minutes! We leave the movie without even seeing the opening credits, get a refund, and go and get BUddy.

She now has two bloody tubes sticking out of her butt, is drugged and sleeping soundingly. However, the cost was $1200, and we still ain't done.

Moral of the story; take care of your colon or it can make for a very shiety and expensive week end.


How has your last 24 hours been?

$1200 for a dog... Sorry Japher, I'd have put it down. My last 24 have been pretty boring by comparison.

So, Sahara is out... Did the wife like it?

Dog are sometimes like a member of the family though.


Cats - you're sometimes a member of THEIR family. More like their pet.

It was something that gaurenteed her survival.

If it was something that still had a 50/50 chance of her living or would reduce her quality of life I would of put her down.

Still

I am going to watch Taxi, back in 90 minutes or so...

You don't clean the cat box? Very similar to shovelling.

Last 24 hours...

Around 6:00 PM last night I was making dinner for my self.

After that, I went down to Barnes&Noble, to use the various study books to study for the Foreign Service Written Exam, which I was taking the next day. The FSWE is the test you take to be a foreign service officer(Diplomat with the State Dept.)

At 10 PM, I left Barnes&Noble, and went to the grocery store to buy the food I would have the morning of the test and during the break in the test, and afterwards returned to my apartment

When I got back to my apartment, I realized I couldn't find my admission ticket that I had printed out, and I didn't have a #2 pencils. I drove down to campus computer lab to print out a new admission ticket, then to a convience store to buy some pencils and pens.

I got back to my apartment, got some more stuff ready for the next day, and went to bed at Midnight

I got up at 5:45 AM Saturday Morning, ate breakfeast, gathered my stuff, and went over to Duquesne University where the test was being administered. The test started at 8 AM, and I got done around 1:30

I then got some lunch, took a nap since I was exhausted, and now I am waiting around as my roomate's girlfriend is cooking a big porkchop dinner for all of us at this apartment and some of our friends.

Not exactly the most exciting today, but if I ended up getting the poisition with the Department of State, it'd be really awesome.

There's a poor family down the block from us in the Phils, really nice parents, good kids...the littleist girl is so cute! Anyway, the eldest boy, Mario, is maybe 18. Dolores and I are putting him, and only him, through college so he can help his parents support the rest. We will then start helping family in Mabini go to college...lots of family. The next oldest, a girl, won't be going to college, has no future, etc...Anyway, it costs us $30 a month for 3 years to send Mario. Having not been able to swing college for myself, how many kids could we have educated for the cost of Japher's dogs ass?

Most of my life I'd have fixed the dog. The Philippines changes everything.

24hrs ago I was phoning the police because there were 30+ drunken people fighting outside the front of my house (amongst others), and trying to kick the door down.

Other than that its been rather uneventful.

I would probably spend $1200 on my dog (unless she was near the end of her normal lifespan). I'd probably put the limit at $2000.

You didn't explain why the dog has this problem with her but? What caused it? I would like to avoid similar problems with my dog.

Tuberski, Coke, my cat, is house trained. Never bitten anyone, never scratched me. I've had him since he was 6 weeks old, from a shelter. He was the last of his litter to be taken.

All Coke does is sit next to the front door. Goes outside to eer, defecate and urinate. Luckily we have a garden, so it adds to the carbon and nitrogen cycles...

Startting twenty four hours ago, i stocked up the fire, and moved my laptop to my bed room. Then I went to sleep...woke up several times in the morning, finally got up and after getting changed etc went into town to the cinema with my GF. Got back, learnt about the C3 and C4 carbon fixation cycles, and why maize is special, and the contact process. I played the turn for the C3CDG, watched TV.

Nothing special.

The last 24 hours?

I got an email from a cousin of mine who just got back from her trip to Germany, looking at the roots of our family.

Stayed up until about 4 or so chatting with a friend.

Then I went to bed, and slept until 4 now, and woke up.

That's been my last 24 hours.

That's great Lancer, and not that I am trying to justify owning a dog but...

My Buddy is my stress relief. When I get home from my very stressfull day of posting on Poly (in between making cancer drugs) I need a beer and someone here to say "I love you" since my pregnant wife can't be here because she has to work since the cost of living here is 3 times the national average if you care to own a home and raise a family.

Buddy supplies that for me. IMO, $1200 in one emergency visit for the past 6 years of her life to prevent me from cracking and doing something stupid is well worth it.

That, and the fact that she is the cutest most precious thing I have apart from my wife, and yes, $1200 to make sure she (which cost $20) is around for another six years is well worth it, and does more the good of humanity than you putting a poor kid through school; which I would proudly do if given the opportunity.

Perhaps I have an inflated sense of self worth, but look at her:

Money well spent.


As for the doggy, a beautiful German Shepard, and loyal companion is always worth saving.

Yes... Space, I agree. What Lancer spends his money on is very admirable, and I want to make it clear that I think that.

I am looking for another job, in a place we can better afford, and when we do I will be doing things like Lancer... Though I will not have much personal emotion at stake or controlling it... Lancer is quite admirable.
