i like how, despite the arm-length protective sleeve, it still got spattered onto her shirt. i wonder if anyone will tell her about it before she gets into her pickup truck?
- Joe Silence
@Kamilah - she should be a vet and she's checking for things like whether or not the cow is pregnant and other such things. It's how it's done for horses too...
- JA Castillo
Oh, I thought that's how they made chocolate milk...
- Jeff P. Henderson
I'm guessing that this isn't what kids are picturing when they say they want to be vets when they grow up...
- Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
Yo dawg, I herd you like to take pics of people while they aren't watching, so I took a pic while you weren't watching while you were taking a pic of that girl when she wasn't watching, so you can be stalked while you stalk.

Hendrick’s Gin is a little harder to find and a little more expensive, but it’s well worth the search. Made in Scotland, it clocks in at 88 proof. And wile it has the usual botanical infusions of juniper, coriander and citrus peel, what makes Hendrick’s so unique is the addition of cucumber and rose petals.

Hendrick's IS good, but I like that Bombay stuff. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
- Derrick
I was a huge Sapphire fan until I tried Hendricks. Now if I could just track down some authentic Genever.
- Kyle Hebert
Yeah I was on Sapphire until Hendrick's, too. I love gin, but hate tonic. That means the gin has to be good enough to go with just ice or as a gimlet.
- Ben Hanten
Matt, Squirt is available here and we actually keep it on the "guns" at the bar.
- Ben Hanten
Tanqueray is bad, but it's the highest alcohol, so.... You know how those gin drinkers can be. Now Tanqueray Rangpur is great.
- Ben Hanten
Love Hendrick's! Serve with a little stick of cucumber - yum!
- Jaclyn aka spamgirl
although, there is the new beefeater 25... harder to find still, but worth the look
- Melissa Maskevich
I think Tanqueray is what gin is supposed to taste like. MMMM.
- Simon Cartel
Sorry, my gin doesn't taste like ass. Maybe you buy your liquor from the crack dealer?

Why ew? A lot of dolls come with bottles for kids to pretend to feed the doll.
- Rochelle
Little girls aren't ready to understand breast feeding plus there's the whole "breastfeed in private or not" controversy. Then on top of that, what if your kid wants to do this at the mall or something, you just know people are going to be shocked. Never mind pervs who will stare. *shivers*
- Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart
Why aren't little girls ready to understand breastfeeding? Should it be a secret how babies are fed?
- Rochelle
I like the way the article puts it: "the idea of breast-feeding is too grown-up for young children -- and may even promote early pregnancy." Children may see this as another way of playing when it takes time and maturity to actually become good at breastfeeding. I was never able to myself and had to pump to feed my daughter. I guess if the parents are really good at explaining everything.. I don't know. The whole thing seems iffy.

Orion was pretty much fur and bones when he first got here. You could feel every rib and vertebrae not to mention his hip bones all jutting out there. He was tiny and and pathetic. In just a week so far he has filled in some and become a boisterous happy little boy ready to take over the world!
- Rachel Lea Fox
from Bookmarklet
oh that's much smarter. He's waaaaaaaaay cuter than I am :)
- metalerik
This cat is absolutely adorable!!!!!!
- The Catz Meow
Orion had a good vet visit. He gained 7oz which is great as he was so so skinny last week. He gets to be with us for one more week and then he will go up for adoption.
- Rachel Lea Fox
beautiful photos, what a handsome gentleman he is!
- Melissa Maskevich
If he keeps this up, I might have to stop calling him "Furbone."
- Cyrus Lendvay
I don't know Cy, I think you may need to stop now, there some definite meat on those furbones now!!
- Rachel Lea Fox
*chuckles* @ 2nd pic. tiny Orion, he'll be a BIG, tough cat someday ;D
- Franc, a rememberer
Franc ☺ he will be, but he already thinks he is big and tough. He has been jumping on Nym's head like he is the biggest thing in the world and nothing could stop him. It's super cute!
- Rachel Lea Fox
bumping this because I'm taking Orion back to the shelter in a couple hours.
- Rachel Lea Fox
give him a little scratch for me. Thanks for being so good them Rachel.
- metalerik
done metalerik. he is laying on my lap right now. We are enjoying our last bit of time together. *sighs*
- Rachel Lea Fox
Rachel: I hope they finds the best home for him. I try not to be sad everytime I hear one of your foster kittens is back to the shelter, you're so good to them :'(
- Franc, a rememberer
Franc ☺, I try not to be sad too, but I cry every time. Kevin, they are all on Flickr, we use the Flickr API to host them on my blog. If you click on any one of those photos it will take you to the flickr page for that photo or you can visit my flickr foster kittens set here: http://www.flickr.com/photos...

that was me coming home from the gym walking in the rain about an hour ago
- Melissa Maskevich
I almost got hit by a car on the way to the gym. the rain is causing a lot of crashes. when I got home there was another auto accident outside my door. real grizzly
- NoahDavidSimon
im slightly freaked the hell out about ticks lately because a couple friends just got lyme disease in the hamptons, and im there every weekend this summer, do you think people in my summer share would think i was a crazy pant if i doused the lawn in this? haha, but really
- Melissa Maskevich
Or, you could put hair from the barbershop in some old stockings and hang them in the trees. Old farmers' trick my dad told me about.
- Ha3rvey #teamMonique
are you kidding me, the real ha3rvey? crazy... yeah, that would go over grrrrrrreat at the share house hahahha..
- Melissa Maskevich
I'm serious! :) That's what my dad said they used to do to keep the deer out of their watermelons. The deer smell all the different hair and think there are a lot of people.
- Ha3rvey #teamMonique
I guess as long as you don't mind the smell of wolf urine...
- John (bird whisperer)
well, the real ha3rvey, you've officially blown my mind.

Parasailers safe after getting stuck in the air - WWSB ABC 7 Florida - Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, North Port, Siesta Key Breaking News, Weather, Sports and Traffic on the Suncoast | - http://www.mysuncoast.com/global...
"The Calacci Family booked an afternoon of parasailing, but high winds sent their parasail up, up...and nearly away. It was supposed to be a 15 minute trip, but it turned into more than three hours of being stuck high above the Gulf of Mexico."
- SteVe C
from Bookmarklet
parasailing is so boring. i cant imagine 3 hours of it. i would probably cry
- Melissa Maskevich
I would have enjoyed the view and had a truly private conversation. And I don't doubt that Jess can take Steve C. No peeing on people's heads!
- Trish Haley
I don't want to sound like I'm being insensitive, and this statement is clearly not intended to be, but I wonder if his kids will go out in public as normal people and not wearing head coverings anymore.
- Tamar Weinberg
CW, well People magazine *did* have a photo of his son, Prince Michael (that's his name, right?), with MJ out in the open without one this past weekend (or last)... but I'm not sure that's a regular occurrence. My question is not necessarily about preserving the legacy but seeing if his kids felt intimidated by these idiosyncrasies and will now want to maintain their own identities instead.
- Tamar Weinberg
I have seen no story that is not based on TMZ's coverage. Someone prove me wrong.
- Rahsheen?
Social Media is the place to start a rumor - wait I mean buzz - wait I mean news... what's the difference again (these days, at least)?
- Ken Stewart | ChangeForge
I'm still waiting for the traditional two source confirmation.
- Eric - seven eleven
I never rely on one news source, unless I witness something with my own eyes.
- Ian May
Listening to the news now and it's not confirm yet that he's dead.
- YoYo_P
TMZ is not confirmation. TMZ is about gossip. They employee paparazzi for God's sake. I need REAL news.
- Rahsheen?
Everything right now (listed on GNews) is based on TMZ. I'm also waiting for something I trust more.
- LJF Wolffe
CNN is reporting no news nor confirmation for >15 minutes now. Twitter spells Micheal Jackson (instead of Michael Jackson) as a trending topic and people repeat each other with the dead of Michael Jackson which is NOT CONFIRMED YET. So I went to FriendFeed to filter the world with ">5 likes"...
- Patrick Mackaaij
There are days I just wanna stop & rest like that. Can you imagine if everyone did that when the urge hit them? hahaha.
- Bonita Garrabrant
My mother one time lost me in the house. Couldn't find me anywhere. Panicked. Found me sleeping on a bookshelf.
- Akiva
i used to sleep in cabinets, akiva, same thing, my mom would panic and then find me hidden in a drawer of an armoir or under the sink. strange
- Melissa Maskevich
Just couldn't play another second.... Aw.
- Kay Designer
never wake a sleeping child, unless it is an emergency, or you are running late for school.
- Nathan Eckenrode
For some reason, I have never been called for jury duty. Not that I am complaining...
- Seth Gottlieb
Oh!!! JURY DUTY! I am so freaking brain dead. I thought the jury was summoned to hear what you can kiss your ass to. Hahahaha I am so out of it. Jury duty can suck it
- Shevonne
I don't know about the jury system in CA, I got called three times in five years which is against PA rules and I was only able to get out of one of those call backs. Even had note from employer stating the need for me to be at work as I was the only one doing her ultrasound scans and patient care issues involved with that. That too did not work.
- Janet:#TeamMonique
You could tweet it! Wait, am I following you? *trundles off*
- Ayşe E.
Trish, tell them you're still breastfeeding!
- Rochelle
Here you can use the children excuse until they are 6. Which is a relief as I'd have to shell out a fortune in childcare.
- Heather Solos
I've never been called. Like ever. They don't like me. *sulk*
- Pixie
I dunno D. I'm kinda into the civic duty thing. And frankly I'd rather you go on duty than a whole heap of folks I could think of.
- MoTO #TeamMonique
Obviously, I'm going. I just don't like being throwing out of my routine. And if I had more faith in the legal system here in the City of Los Angeles, I'd probably feel better about it. The last time, I called every night as instructed and never got called in. The starts undoubtedly won't line up the same way. We'll see.
- Derrick
They don't do it that way any more. Adrian just had to show up, spend all day there and was dismissed.
- Anika
Anika, I just scanned through it, and you have to register that you have RECEIVED the summons, and then call in the weekend prior. Whatever. I'm already over this whole thing. The only good thing is free parking. Free parking is such a perk, it makes me want to cry.
- Derrick
Oh I love jury duty. You may end up meeting your new boyfriend there. Keep an eye out. I've been on 3 in the last few years. It's odd- a homicide, damages by being hit by a bus, and a DUI. Made new friends in each one!
- anna sauce
LOL Yeah, I was just referring to the calling every night part. Now, when you get summoned you just get to sit there all day instead of having to call every night.
- Anika
Every time I've gotten jury duty I called the night before and the message told me not to come. Guess we don't have enough trials around here.
- Shannon Jiménez
I can never remember to call and end up in this weird loop of making up for an expired summons.
- anna sauce
Rochelle, but that would be lying! I'll tell them Alix hasn't been summoned yet and she really wants to be.
- Trish Haley
Derrick, I got one of those two weeks ago.
- Mike Reynolds
UGH I NEVER want one of those. Just bring on the crazy so they won't pick you!
- BEX
If it didn't get sent certified mail, throw it away.
- mike fabio
Mike, here in CA they send them by regular mail. If you ignore them, they just put you back on the list and you get another one in a few months. Don't know what will happen if you ignore them forever though.
- Jeff P. Henderson
FYI, I'm black. I don't need to spurn legal action here in Los Angeles, where the keepers of the peace treat us so well.
- Derrick
Anika, I think there are two types of summons you can get here in CA. One requires you to go to the courthouse. The other just requires a call in for one or more days. I had a "must appear" summons a few years ago but several of my coworkers have had a "call in" summons since.
- invariant
I'd start with a story about having to get new tubers for your potato belt and wind up in a long tribute to cures for The Clap. That should solve the issue. Oh...and throw in some spontaneous clapping and praising of Jesus for good measure.
- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
OK I'll throw this out here- why are people so reluctant to be on jury? Don't you see it as a situation you may be in on, and you'd like someone like you to be in the jury? Perhaps I'm the only one who thinks that I may end up on the other end of justice somehow. It's a small price to pay, I think, for being part of our legal system. I may actually abstain next time as I've been on 3...

One judge put a petulant little snobby girl in the box, and she was on a homicide case, and missed her vacation on a Greek island, which none of us had any sympathy for. This girl tried every dramatic ruse in the book to get out of the box. At the end of the day it's up to the judge.
