Okay, I didn’t have any random thoughts yesterday — not a one. As I’ve said, it’s been kind of a crazy week, but I’ll think more in the future, I swear. So why don’t we use this space to think about what’s most important in life. Like oxygen.
When my daughter had croup we went to the hospital. I spent the night breast feeding her under an oxygen tent. The suckling was a great help in calming her and helping her get over it. Suckling led to no crying and less oxygen demand so the irritation in the throat reduced. They thought it was weird for me to be in the tent with her, but it worked.
I pray Buttercup gets better soon. The croup is no fun for her or her parents.

Oxygen is important. Followed by importance, in Damncat’s world, to tuna of course.
This is…*sputter sputter*…this is preposterous! It’s an outrage! “but I’ll think more in the future, I swear” – that’s as pathetic as it is unacceptable. Do you realize how much I pay for this daily hilarity?? Why, I…oh…wait a minute…sorry.
I agree. Peas do have a wet doggish smell. But broccoli is even better – they smell like farts, which is only exacerbated by cooking; and then even betterer, broccoli farts smell like horrible burning chemical warfare.
So, is it safe to say our dog smells like peas?
Oh, and I do like breathing. Been doing it all my life.
Cabling one’s controllers and switches and installing OS’s on servers is also important. Kind of. But not as important as breathing.
On this day in 1733, James Oglethorpe arrived in America with 130 colonists. Oglethorpe would go on to found the colony of Georgia, which was established as a haven for indigents and those locked up in debtors prisons.
I don’t exactly know what croup is, but it sounds not very fun. My baby girl was hospitalized with asthma for several days once, so I know a little bit about that whole oxygen being important thing. We are praying Buttercup is all better soon.
Chuck, not to make it scary for you or Frank, but it’s also called Whooping Cough. It’s not usually horrible, but the inflamed vocal cords make it sound horrible. It’s caused by one of the Flu family viruses and generally doesn’t need to be treated unless a persistent fever or serious breathing issues appear. When it does need treating, it’s by prescription meds.
So, no need to be super scared, just vigilant. Like you would with a baby anyway. ;>
Oxygen is overrated. Nine hundred voters in South Carolina didn’t use any.
I hope Buttercup is feeling better.
I was going to make a smart remark about something but DamnCat set the tone in a whole different direction.
“So why don’t we use this space to think about what’s most important in life.”
Actually, “space to think” one of those things important in life.
I hated it when my kids got sick. You just want to jump in there and take the bug away for yourself.
I really hope President Obama stays healthy. I don’t think I can fake cry as well as the North Koreans on TV.

Peas are interesting. They smell like a wet dog, but they taste pretty good.
Every Republican candidate is an oxygen thief. Please, Mrs. Romney, Gingrich, and other half-wits, stop stealing Buttercup’s oxygen.

Dangit you guys. Now I can’t stop visualizing whirled peas.
@Maverick you have earned a gold star.
I’m hungry. 🙁
“horrible burning chemical warfare”
You mean, like eggs & onions, Mr. Chairman. Both high in Sulfur –> H2S
(Smells like Democrats.)

Oh, that explains it! 😉

Croup is NOT whooping cough!
