And now, I will BITE YOUR FACE OFF
It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of terriers. For my money, terriers pack more piss n' vinegar than any other dog out there. Sighthounds are more elegant, huntin' hounds have more fun "voices", poodles are smarter, retrievers have more "aw, shucks" goofiness, but for sheer, unrelenting, in-your-face cussedness you canNOT beat a terrier.

THYROID AHOY
Okay, I've been asked by a couple of people for some information on thyroid dysfunction, and you know what? I've not been especially awesome at keeping up on the research and whatnot ( Read more... ) -

NSFW, really
I really love the occasional inappropriate phrase. Oh, who are we kidding. I really love the constant and incessant inappropriate phrase.

He, too, is my new hero

"so the guy behind me in court for my DUI hearing got a DUI on a lawnmower at 1AM...he is my new hero" -
The answer is: FULL OF ALCOMAHOL
Well, the cider went into the secondary carboy for clarification. Looks like the final specific gravity was .992, much lower than I expected, for a final alcohol content of 8.9% ABV or 7.1% ABW. Either way, quite respectably alcoholic ( Read more... ) -
Clinical notes--skip it if you're squeamish
Used yarrow tincture (achillea millefolium) tincture to help a friend recover from major dental surgery--extraction of all four wisdom teeth under general anaesthesia. The bleeding hadn't stopped about an hour post-surgery, and it was the typical mouth/head wound Super Gory Funtime mess of bright red arterial blood in copious amounts. The aftercare ( Read more... )
