Maybe they're using cheaper metals in the studs?  who knows..

I keep forgetting that you're working and probably going to school as well.. I

That must be a relief... probably all that good bone stock he gets special
(smile)..   Right now I'm happy if poor Priscilla can get up to go outside.
The "new vet" didn't make it here today.. he's got the Flu :( Well, I'm glad he
cancelled rather than come with that... so far we've avoided the flu altogether
and I know he's got several kids.. could be swine flu since it's in the area
from what I understand.

Be thankful about that.. I'm sure Priscilla's on these drugs now because of her
"geriatric" stage of life. Poor baby..

Did you find them at the grocery store?  I'll have to look around.

Lol.. probably not a bad idea :)

> poot poot poot.  Guess I better get more eh?

Yes, better than stealing poor Cash's :)

Take care,
Janis
