1. Sometimes my eyes get all itchy, so I rub them, and then I yawn.
Is this normal?

2. Well, depends.
What is your definition of normal?

Normal for a human? Yes.

For a fish, no.

3. My lymph nodes are swollen so my neck feels lumpy.
It's your fault for inviting this opportunity to complain :P

5. Same here
only problem is one other person called out sick, another needs to leave early for a family emergency and one more is out on training.

So I'm at work potentially spreading the flu to everyone who crosses my path!

7. Lumpy? How lumpy?
Little bump lumpy, or second-head lumpy?

4. I just found out my best friend is pregnant!
She has been trying for 8 months and she got the official "yes" from her doctor yesterday. She's only 6 weeks along so send some good vibes and/or prayers her way so that everything will go smoothly.

9. Abbies acne doesn't seem to be clearing up
I've gotten him new feed dishes and I wash his face every night with antibacterial soap (believe me, that's not fun).

I'm just hoping he isn't going to permantly have cat acne

:cry:

11. So, when you wash his face....
... does the fur stick to your tongue?

Just curious. Never had to wash a cat before.

49. Cats can get Acne - let me share the details
(this is a picture in order to help educate folks about the disease - that's not my cat, just another one with Acne)

http://www.talktothevet.com/ARTICLES/CATS/acneinfelines.HTM

Cats use their tongues to keep themselves clean but they can't reach their chins and sometimes they don't clean very well. Add into the fact that I was using plastic dishes for his cat food and the plastic absorbs slobber & germs......well, the poor guy has acne.

Hopefully this Service announcement can help alleviate acne in our feline friends

53. Regular anti-bacterial soap will do
I take a wash cloth and wet one corner and put a little Dial on it. Then I wet another corner without any soap. That way I can wipe off his chin and then rinse the soap off after I'm done.

I would advise wrapping a cat in a heavy blanket since he (or she) is obviously not too keen on having his face cleaned.

14. You can't say that with a picture of Blue!
Now I have odd images of Blue wearing S&M fetish wear and holding a whip.

That's it. No more Blues Clues for my kid.

15. Use Linux!
Tao Linux (http://www.taolinux.org) is great both for a desktop and for a server. Really sleek visuals, and quite stable. It's based on Red Hat Enterprise, but it's totally free.

For a live CD / rescue disk, nothing on Earth beats Knoppix (http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html).
