Who knows - maybe there's a steady stream of victims.

I don't know--but I was never drafted (or volunteered) for the job.

Too clever by half, you.

There are those who really like their birds and claim to
have a bond to them. Fish, well, I've heard of relationships
between people and cold-blooded animals, but it's not
clear whether that was in their own mind. On the other hand,
they might claim that the inability to forge such a bond is
in your own mind.

Depends--some people can imagine a bond quite well. Saw on the news the
other night that somebody took a miniature horse on a plane--as a
therapy animal. Forget where it was but the video (shot from a cell
phone) showed the horse sprawled across the owners lap, sound asleep.

I think it's Delta that has banned emotional support
animals. I endorse that course of action.

But you can eat them!

True. (G)

And they're about as communicative on the plate as
they were when they were alive.

The folks seem captivated by the creature ("oh, she's such a
good girl"; "oh, she's so beautiful."), but I hope it doesn't
end up with me reading about it in the newspaper.

Hopefully not but it sounds like the other folks may not realise the
dangers of an animal like that, even if she is beautiful.

Beauty is skin deep. Teeth can be deeper.

Eh, the urushiol breaks down after a couple days,
and aa good washcloth is a good washcloth.

I'd have grabbed an older, "don't care about" washcloth.

Apparently the stuff has the same characteristics as
any heavy greasy substance.

But more of a danger while it's active.

There are all sorts of greasy things that are troublesome
when not confined in their proper sphere. Poison ivy goo
is just one of those.

saw it for the bullshit that it was. It was all an
offensive, condescending exercise in futility, and as
far as I know nobody stared at the screen or paid any
attention to it. except Dave Denault, I think it was,
who threw spitballs at it.

Was there a quiz on the contents following the show? (G)

If there was, I flunked it.

OK, Steve took a look--said it looked like it was just scanned. I don't
need to try to download it, others may want to tho.

Yeah, it was a .pdf of a hard copy. The original file was
in Microsoft Word 2 or something and not readable by
most people these days.

A step or two above zuchinni?

Approximately. Somewhere in the neighborhood of
alfalfa sprouts.

Depends on what those are in--I can take them or leave them. In a salad,
in moderation, they're ok. On a burger, not appropriate.

Look, on a burger, salt and pepper. Cheese and onions
if you must. Lettuce and tomatoes if you are a rabbit
as described above.

Isn't it irritating when every time you go they ask you
to list everything you're taking, including supplements?

I keep a hard copy in my purse, just ask them to photo copy it. It also
has allergies, surgeries, other times hospitalised, broken bones, etc information that is generally asked for any time you see a new doctor. Figured it saves me a lot of writing. (G)

Not a bad idea.

I'd use parchment paper instead of foil.

I'd use neither.

And not have the fish, either.

I've always rather liked fish.

Same here, for the most part.

No, she knew I had allergies that were best left undisturbed by trying
to bathe a very disturbed cat.

I could see allowing small, domestic animals (small dogs) but nothing
wild (ferrets) or over a certain size. Even then, there might be other passengers with allergy issues that would have to be considered so it's
hard to decide--complete or partial ban.

True. (G)

And they're about as communicative on the plate as

Basically, tho some may say that the one on the plate non verbally says "yummy". (G)

Much deeper, and inflict permanent damage.

Doubt any teacher would do that, but wouldn't have put it past some.

Is it possible Dave would let us make an upload on a newer platform?

I'll skip the cheese but add a bit of onion and lettuce, plus tomato and pickles.

Not a bad idea.

Something you ought to consider. Every so often I'll update the file on
the computer, especially if I've had a major change, and print out a new
copy. Before my knee surgery, I made several copies--for the pre-op
folks, the hospital where I had the surgery, etc.

I'd use parchment paper instead of foil.

I'd use neither.

And not have the fish, either.

I've always rather liked fish.
