I put that in my MOUTH?!?!

I assumed the wonderful cough syrup my doc gave me was bubblegum flavored... Or cherry, it's hard to get past the 'cough syrup' thing. Hubby was just reading the description that Target gives you on the bottle and it says that they syrup is 'peach-mint' flavored. PEACH MINT?!?!?! Gack. Just... gack.

Interesting development on autism

Surrounded as I am with autistic spectrum disorders (Hubby is Aspergers, nephew is severe autistic, godson is mild/moderate autistic), any developments in the field catches my attention. This study indicates that every case of autism has a highly individual genetic cause, making a universal genetic test hard, to say the least.

This actually jives with what I've observed - that autism is a catch all diagnosis for a bunch of disparate disorders with common symptoms. Why else would one kid respond to therapy but another doesn't, when both have similar symptoms?

Interesting thoughts, to say the least.

Aminals!

Bad news first: Stranger had another siezure. He bolted under the bed and somehow managed to get up into the boxspring, thumping around in a truly terrifying way. But he seems to be okay. As I understand, there's not much you can do for pet seizures, other than trying to keep them from hurting themselves. Sigh.

Somehow, through a really complicated set of events, my parents are dogsitting a pair of daschunds. They're really cool dogs! I have an instinctive revulsion for small dogs, but these two are sweet and fun. I like puppies!

Yay, California!

Teh Gayez are getting married in CA! Somehow, the sanctity of my marriage is okay for now. Maybe there's a tipping point? I think maybe I should monitor our marriage carefully as more and more gayez get married, just to make sure.

LOLSpeak

I love LOLCats. And dogs, and bunnies, and hedgehogs, etc. But LOLspeak drives me BATTY! Wh is that, I wonder? Maybe I can only take bad spelling in small, funny doses with cute pictures attached. Hmmm...

I cannot possibly be the only person who feels this way. Can I? (crickets)
