D.O.P.-T. (day before yesterday)

[weofodthignen]

The housemate's dog apparently strained a back leg, so now he gets a doggie pain killer pill every meal; plus a tummy pill to buffer it. Both embedded in soft cheese, because he's got quite good at covertly spitting pills under the kitchen appliances. As a result I suspect it was him who threw up in the living room last night, but it's hard to be sure.

I know the "Joy". Boo Boo's getting that age where he needs doggie aspirin to let him sleep(as well as us;>)through the night. I've found our local grocery's brand of Havarti is perfect. It's like Play-Dough and strong enough he can't tast the pills through it;>...

I had Laughing Cow in the fridge because I am lowbrow enough to occasionally snack on that, and that seems to work great.

I have too or Gouda, though some batches "split" too much when you add the pills. Havarti's almost as plastic as Velveeta, which is the perfect pill-hider but too expensive for something only for the dog(unless I happen to have Celery in the fridge;>).
Hope Matt's email was correct. Old database...

There was an -s- missing, which I added back, and I've applied to join the group, which will get me in touch with him if the kindred is no longer using those e-mail addresses. But I expect he still works days.

Most adults do;>! It's why I stopped Gaming(or be involved with SCA) back in the 80's. Actually, it was less me and more those that either didn't work or had gone into less formal workplaces who would blow off, show up late etc and then get ticked off at me when I left when we were supposed to be done so I could be at least not exhausted at Work. They honestly couldn't "get" why I put Work over killing Orks or making the properly period garb.....

Yup :-) But there's also this internet expectation that everyone's checking and responding at work to e-mail, social media like this .... this happens to be my day off, and I happen to have a weird schedule, but I keep having to apologize on Wikipedia, which is international enough that people should realize everybody has different offline demands on their time '-) And in the days when I was still getting calls to attend moots and such, this was a sore point - for me, one of the things that not being beholden to the desert god meant was that I could (and should, for the students' sake) teach on weekends.

Not surprised. I'm constantly being "reviled" because I'm not "Connected" 24/7-365. Don't have a cell and don't want one. Have an old hand-me-down I-Phone that I charge for trips so I can call 9-11. I don't even have an answering machine. I'm apparently a rare beast, someone who can "deal" with Silence from his fellow Humans more than a few seconds;>
Even my computer is only on for a few hrs a day and generally on maybe 15 minutes tops.....unless there's something on Hulu;>!

Regarding the list: Matt approves, and you have expressed your approval, but I'm a bit flummoxed by the others' silence. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the PhD. I'm considering just starting again at #1 on Monday and hoping to gather some responses ... and there's a grad student I know from Wikipedia (though I'll have to swear him to silence in both places about the IDs I use elsewhere) who I'm thinking of asking to join. He's heathen but I have no idea what his connections with other heathens may be.

What I'm afraid of is that Matt let the thing set idle for so long that folks have either discommed or lost Interest. What I would do is after talking to Matt about it is to post to the group(in word or poll)"Will you actively participate in a Havamal discussion list?". Personally? less than 10 responses of those who would, not just lurk, IMO means the ship has sailed on Havamal on Yahell....
Cheers,
Pat

[weofodthignen]

I fear it might have, but that's partly because Yahell has collaborated in the near-death of e-lists. What do we have to lose?
