And cute. Love him. Did Dixie like him too? I'm trying to figure out what mirror he's lying in front of. Or is that not your house?

Dixie didn't hate him or anything. He didn't really scare her. It's hard to describe. I think because he's so mellow and gentle, she was kind of curious about him, but she was also not going to play with him. He followed her everywhere she went while he was here. Except for the half hour he lay down beside my computer chair where Lacey used to lay and went to sleep. I loved that. I think he and Dixie will be fine together. She wasn't jealous or territorial with him. She let him drink from her water bowl. She just wasn't really into the idea of playing with him. I think once they get used to each other, she will though. He's kind of a shy little guy, but once he knows you're cool, he's sweet.

The pic was taken at Casey's house. She says he loves to lay by that mirror. She thinks he misses his litter mates and the other dogs at the shelter and maybe laying by the mirror makes him feel like he's not the only dog.

Bodhi is so cute! He looks a lot like Marley from Marley And Me.

I'm going to the doctors today. Yesterday I fell (major Bella moment) and warped my ankle. Yesterday it swelled to about the size of a baseball, now it's about the size of my fist and I can't put weight on it or move it. My grandma's biggest concern is that I won't be able to go to work tomorrow.

TeeJay · 15 Jun 09 :: 13:44

That sounds nasty. I only had a sprained ankle once, and I hated it. Kinda sounds like you're gonna end up with crutches, maybe a cast too, huh? Hope it gets better soon. Who cares about work?

Oh, and first I read "it swelled to about the size of a basketball". And I was like, WHOA!

magicalturkey · 15 Jun 09 :: 15:02

I'm hoping if I need a cast, they just give me a walking cast because I can walk I just need my foot stabilized. This morning I was acting kind of like Joan... I've been using a cane my mom got after she got her knee replaced last year, but halfway to wherever I was going I dropped it and hoped the rest of the way. And it's a job I just started, so getting injured and missing work already is bad.

And swelling to the size of a basketball would be bad. It would be bigger than my head.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 15 Jun 09 :: 16:05

Sounds broken to me. Maybe you'll get lucky and only have to have an AirCast. I would've gone absolutely batshit crazy if I'd had a plaster cast. At least you can take the AirCast off and get some relief from the heat and itchiness.

Wait, I know, you're only faking a busted up ankle for sympathy --- like Newt Gingrich says about Sonya Sotomayor! You just want on the Supreme Court THAT badly, don't you?

domesticelefant · 15 Jun 09 :: 17:32

Sorry to hear about your foot, Laura. Hope it gets better soon.

magicalturkey · 15 Jun 09 :: 19:55

I went to my primary care physician. She said I might have torn a tendon, which would mean being in on crutches and in a plaster cast for the rest of the summer, maybe longer, and I would have to quit my job. And, depending on how bad it is, possibly surgery. But my doctor tends to automatically think the worst about injuries, so I have an appointment this afternoon with a specialist who will actually tell me what's wrong.

You caught me, Deb. A supreme court seat is all I really want.

TeeJay · 15 Jun 09 :: 20:21

I thought they didn't use plaster casts for torn tendons anymore. Don't they usually use air casts these days? Hope it's nothing too serious, Laura. And I hope you don't have to quit your job.

magicalturkey · 15 Jun 09 :: 20:45

I have no idea what they do to treat a torn tendon, my doctor just said the only thing I might be doing this summer is getting my friends to sign my cast. Hopefully, it's not as bad as my doctor thinks.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 15 Jun 09 :: 21:09

Yeah, that would suck.

TeeJay · 15 Jun 09 :: 22:50

Okay, so tell me. Why do people send me spam with this in it:

oakery nibble chalk.
luting potboy budge gypsa!
slam zoic fully.
thyme gypsa lumper.
pupa lives cooker thyme?
peso zoic fully outre.
grouch sell bingo find?
peso lumper estop flood!
graft morgue moving gypsa!
tare zoic nopal bled?
feed renew tops valuer!
novel gird emir valuer?
scamp lipped valuer tempi!

reflux how agile palmy?
aerate arise.
shrink tandem moving.
flake glover.
fiber thyme flood.
gird gasper lives coatee!
pink emir.
nopal foci.
renew voter.
sap bounty bounty.

Isn't the point of spam to sell something or make people go to your website or something? Or at the very least trick them into doing something that will benefit the spammer in some way? This does nothing of the sort. What's the friggin' point???

Unless this is someone with no sense of how to spell writing bad poetry.

Those are usually the ones with malicious code in them. Why do you OPEN your spam is the bigger question.

TeeJay · 15 Jun 09 :: 23:04

I only open them in Spamihilator, which is a program especially designed to handle and elimiate spam. Opening messages in there won't execute any code because they'll only open as text messages and not as HTML. Or at least that's the theory.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 15 Jun 09 :: 23:05

Oh, cool.

magicalturkey · 15 Jun 09 :: 23:40

Just got back from the orthopedics. It's a really severe sprain, which was a relief after my doctor told me I have a torn tendon. I have an air boot and I can't work until Saturday at the earliest, which I already told my boss. So basically I'm just gonna be laid up for the next couple days.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 15 Jun 09 :: 23:53

Well, that's certainly good news. Did you call your other doctor to tell her she sucks?

magicalturkey · 16 Jun 09 :: 00:11

Nah, she just tends to go to the worst case scenario. Which is good and bad.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 16 Jun 09 :: 07:20

I hope your ankle heals really soon, Laura.

TeeJay · 16 Jun 09 :: 08:53

I'm glad to hear that, Laura. Being in a cast for the rest of the summer really would have been a downer. Hope you get some rest and that things will look much better next week.

This is funny. Weird Al's new video, Craigslist.

This was just on the news here. A little boy flushed a one week old puppy down the toilet... because he was muddy.

Very cute puppy.
