This is clearly not my cat. If this was my cat he's have one arm shoved down into the printer trying to tear up all the internal whirling bits with his bare claws.

@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" ..
- Petr Buben
there ya have me ! :] .... see, to be honest with you, i saw this pic couple days ago, but i let it go, without posting it ..... what does that make me? :]

even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)

For most situations, I prefer the iPhone. I get really bad reception with my rock.. and it's hard to check my stocks and get directions to the pizza joint with it. But it works great as a makeshift mallet for pounding tent stakes when camping! My iPhone's a little to fragile for that. At least my iPhone can double as a flashlight in a pinch!

I asked that on another thread here a while back, fairnymph, when someone was acting all offended about the PETA / Ben and Jerry's thing... personally, I find inter-species milk exchange a lot more offensive than intra-species milk exchange. But I'm not a milk drinker.
- Anthony Citrano
I know you're not a milk drinker my dear, but you continue to be LOGICAL, which is why I love you so. If someone thinks all adult milk consumption is gross, I can understand and respect that. But arbitrarily considering some interspecies milk consumption acceptable and others not is irrational. It reminds me of all the silly knee-jerk reactions I got in response to drinking breastmilk cocoa. Curious - would you drink human milk?
- fn (fairnymph)
I do consume dairy products, yes [only humane, organic, blah blah], but still wish I didn't. Drinking milk and eating meat have been long out of my diet, though.. it's a long process... Also agree w/ your health analysis w/r/t monkey vs. cat. Also good luck with people coming back to threads. This is why threads die; FF still tends to be drive-by for most users.
- Anthony Citrano
If I send you some of my homemade dairy products one day, will you eat them? :D

No, I'd probably tell you I did and then give them to the neighbors. BTW, you're freaking out the squares. ;p

As an ubah cat lover... I shall never stoop to this level of loving my cat. Frankly this is so wrong in so many ways.

In the carbon constrained world of the near future, a crack commando unit was sent for rehabilitation by a military court for a emissions that weren't theirs. These men promptly escaped from a small commune in the San Rafael hills to the Los Angeles underground.

"Last Sunday morning, my son James said, "Dad, what if you made a bowl out of cookie dough?" I'm the first to admit that there are almost no truly new culinary innovations or ideas, only variations on what's come before us, and I also know that making a cookie to serve ice cream on, such as an ice cream sandwich, is a common one (some great recipes will be in Ad Hoc At Home, now at the printers). But when James said it, I said, "Very cool idea, James. Let's give it a shot." And so we did. We posted a Twitpic and fellow Twitters were likewise enthusiastic."

Now, remember I'm transformed - which means I take two different things daily to prevent the damn...

Do you think it's vision related? or allergies?
- anna sauce
I have no idea. I know my seasonal allergies have been pretty low-key so far, but my food/latex allergy is kicking in. I have a history of migraines, but have manage to control with diet & exercise. I don't know how to deal with a 2 day long headache that's more niggling than debilitating.
- Admiral Anika
Fascinating article in Scientific American as to why so many women get migraines, really disproportionally larger than men. They link it to your period, that the migraine is symptomatic of a huge blood loss to the brain. It's pretty involved and I don't remember it all but I can paste it here.
- anna sauce
I have chronic headache problems. I started tracking them and for me some of them are definitely linked to my period (see anna's post above). Some are allergy related. If I can figure out what triggers it and hit it with my biggest guns right away, I'm usually safe. If I do what you did and start small, with Tylenol or an equivalent, it escalates into something horrible that can last for days.

Is there any way you can get a deep tissue massage? Thinking the deep tissue type will push the crap out of your system to the lymph and secondly maybe lessen the probable spasms near your neck from a headache of that duration. Damn, I am sooooo sorry to hear you are this under the weather.
- Janet
@rodfather: you're joking, right? there are tons of ‘em.
- Anthony Citrano
Anika, sorry to hear. If I can offer a possible organic solution, make yourself a cup of cayenne tea, as strong as you can stand it. Add a bit of honey and/or lemon to make it palatable. Its worked quite well in the past when I had migraine problems.
- jcunwired
Have you tried some form of physical activity? Maybe you can exhaust yourself to sleep. And it might help the headaches if they are somehow tension related.
- Kevin Pedraja
@anika: i tried to DM you this, but can't. you're getting a lot of advice in this thread, and I regret I'm unable to resist the urge to throw my own into the mix. I say, do what works. If marijuana works, do that. I occasionally get migraines - got them a lot as a kid but they're thankfully extremely rare now - and those are very different from tension headaches. Obviously I don't know...

Thanks you guys. I do have a history of migraines, but it's been such a long time since I've had one. Thankfully, this headache is nothing close to how bad my migraines used to be, but it is annoying because it's been so long. Never thought of the ice pack. I keep doing all my exercises and massage techniques for my migraines, but it's constant.
- Admiral Anika
@Anika - I got that tip from a specialist I saw a long time ago. It is related to the hot/cold shower trick (hot shower followed by cold) you've maybe heard ... my rudimentary understanding of why this works is that the unusual ‘spread’ in topical temperatures (core vs head) addresses two physiological issues (re-constricting blood vessels in head while dilating them in the body).
