That's something you don't see every day.... brass window hinges.

I see. I see. Is this better?

[adamanteus]

You see, brass window hinges would quickly tarnish when exposed to the elements. Far better to use chromed steel, or as is often seen these days, plastic.

[Stefan-A]

I know.

some people really like that tarnished look

my day has been lots of fun
I"m only just beginning to come down from the emotive part
it started brightly enough with my attempting to treat a snake with acupuncture for a neurological problem that we think may stem from an injury (it's a rescue)
I'm not sure whether the acupuncture is doing anything, since I'm very much improvising

the big crisis of the afternoon has been the cat eating two Ibuprofen that had been discarded into an empty fish salad container, slated for the bin
the cat is now at the vet's, hooked up to IV to the tune of an entire mortgage payment and I feel guilty as hell for what he has to go through

[Stefan-A]

Sorry to hear about the cat, Rhea.

[drache]

he'll be fine I think
I went to visit him and it was hard because he sort of shrank away from me at first
he's been poked with needles and has had tubes stuck down his throat and all that . . .
after a while I had him purring and then it was hard to leave

Ooooh Rhea I'm so sorry... it sounds like you caught it in time tho and he is in good hands. I hear ya on the vet bill... sigh.... just repeat to yourself over and over, "it's only money... it's only money..." lol That's what I always tell Jamie.

Sending you lots of prayers and good karma that the kitty will pull thru. Hugs!!

[Stefan-A]

Night, James.
