Yes, Ignatz, 20 years is good for a cat.  Our "ancient one" died a couple years ago just a couple months shy of 20...

He's deaf now and I give him thyroid medicine twice a day. My Vet is a fan of Krazy Kat and really likes seeing Ignatz. Its amazing how this thyroid medicine helps him. Its people medicine my wife gets at the local CVS pharmacy. The Asian lady at the checkout counter comments to my wife how nice it is to see we named our daughter "Cat" Naulty. My wife tried to explain to her that it was for our cat and not our daughter,but she still thinks we have a child named Cat! ; :D

Good story, and sounds like your average pharmacy tech  [smiley=beehive.gif] (hope we don't have any on the board), smart enough to raise a sea sponge's self esteem.  [smiley=Oscar.gif] After working with them every day for the past three years  [smiley=wall.gif] I now tripple check every Rx I pick up for personal consumption.  :P AND, a lot of the pharmacists aren't much better and some scare me half to death and make me thank god they ain't sacking up my pills...  :o

Oh, and tell her that Cat isn't really her name, it's Feline - Cat's just a nickname!  [smiley=ROTFLMAO.gif]

Lots of good stories here!   Justin, I love that - Feline!  Oh my!  Hee hee!   [smiley=ROTFLMAO.gif]

I thought I was the only one that had trouble with the pharmacy techs.  I yelled at one once, then felt bad about it.  I was just really tired, but she couldn't help it as she was just, well, let's say she was not the brightest one on that side of the counter.   [smiley=huh.gif]   The good ones always leave to get a better paying job.  I've heard they only get minimum wage.

Ignatz, I tried to read that stuff about "some say it with a brick" , but it was too complicated for me.  I never was good at that kind of interpretation of social commentary.  I like science and mechanical things myself.   ;)

We've got some good athletes here it seems.  I did one marathon about 7 years ago.  I walked it though.  I decided to do something that would help other people and so went with the Leukemia Society Team in Training and went to Anchorage for the Mayor's Midnight Sun Marathon.  I actually made it to the end even though I'd come down with bronchitis the night before the walk and didn't realize it.  Couldn't figure out why I couldn't breathe. I thought it was just because I was nervous and anxious about walking an unknown trail with about a bizillion other people.  But noooooooooo.  I had to go and get sick.  My coach walked me out so I did make it.  Got my bronze medal to prove it.   8-)

I haven't done much since then because of life stuff.  And now I'm out of shape.  But I've made a resolution and just joined a club to have access to all the equipment for the winter so I can be in shape for next year's riding season.    [smiley=clap.gif]   The next couple of months are usually the worst weather  around here so this should work out rather well as it is not even a mile from where I live.

Marathons.....not for me.
I'm doing a 2.7km ocean swim here in a fortnight. Why? SOunded good at the time.
Seeing as this year was the first time I tried to swim laps since I was at school (and that was only once a year at the swimming carnival), I thought, I'd be alright, that was only 10 years ago. WRONG. First day I managed 2 laps (no goggles, went blind). Then 10 laps, now I'm trawling out 1500m, but 2700m out the back of the surf is a big difference.......

Point is, it was a pleasure being on this forum

I know Rob, but if he has to do it, well he has to.  I swim the Columbia every year on Labor Day but the water's way warmer than the ocean, and usually smoother.  

I think staying in shape makes it easier to ride.  There, on topic!
