SNIP

So, some of you may know that I've been working part time at the Apple Store not far from home for a little over a year and a half. It's a great job, not typical retail, and I love being there. Great group of people, which IMHO makes all the difference in the world. Amazing diversity not only in the customers, but also in my fellow employees. And I get paid for talking about one of my passions!

In any case, we had our quarterly store meeting today. And we always end these meetings with announcing Best of Brand. In the week leading up to the meeting, all the employees have an opportunity to nominate someone who best represents Apple, not only to our customers, but also to each other. Some pretty amazing people have been voted Best of Brand in the past. This quarter the managers saw the highest participation for the store - 88% of the employees nominated someone. Of the people nominated, guess who won. Me.

What did I do???

I am shocked, honored, humbled and excited all at once. It's the first time I've been recognized publicly for what I am. And I'm amazed that my own fellow employees feel that way about me.

So that's my news for the day.

I am not worried about Grits, Ser Trey.

I am deeply worried about mALX. I promise to *never* do anything to ever tick you off.


EVER.

Again I'd like to point out that DMSO provides a garlicky taste, not oysterlike.

Here is more information about DMSO at WebMD.

The deaths mALX referred to likely are due to the use of industrial grade DMSO, which likely contains toxic impurities. DMSO itself is not toxic, unless there is pre-existing kidney or liver disease (in which case just about anything is toxic). DMSO made for medicinal use is pure, and quite safe.

As mALX points out, DMSO can be used as a transport for drugs. In equine medicine, we often mixed it with nitrofurazone ointment to sweat out lower limb swelling due to injuries - DMSO for its antiinflammatory effect and nitrofurazone for its antibiotic effect. The mixture would be wrapped with Saran wrap and covered with Vetrap (a type of elastic bandage - it is commonly used over fiberglass casts in human medicine).

It might be a perfect murder, except for the smell. Even dead bodies will reek of garlic. I speak from personal experience!

Heh. Smulan is adorable

Where did you get the cat house? I could use something like that to put on my porch for Spots, so he has somewhere to go when he comes by while I am at work.

I´m glad y´all like her!


I made it myself and since I´m currently out of a job, you´re more than welcome to place an order

By the way, can we see another shot of Spots?

I absolutely LOVE your workshop and the talent you have with making things, Mirocu!

Oh, pish-posh

I´m not that good, really. I made the house fit for a dog, don´t know why! On the other hand, that way we can put a toy on a string on the ceiling fan for the kitty

Hey! Don´t misquote me!

Smulan is adorable!
