Funniest commercial of all time. This is the Wal-Mart commercial with the clown and the unicorn. I laugh until I cry almost every time I see it. :)

AuntJeni.com Articles Pet health. I'm reading the one on Copper Toxicity and wondering if the lamb/rice food we used to have Maggie on could have contributed to her liver failure. We switched her to venison/potato because we thought it was an allergy, but perhaps it was the copper. Scary.

The venison food seems to be healthy for her, but at $60 per 16 lbs it's a bit expensive. I'm looking for a less expensive food that will be as good for her, but it's looking like the venison might be the best thing for her, as it is also low in copper where lamb is very high in copper...

Veridian Dynamics: Life. Better.

Better Off Ted is one of the best TV shows I have ever had the privilege to watch. Hilarious, chock-full of quotable quotes, every episode is wonderful and well worth the 30 min investment of your time.

Too bad they may be canceled in favor of yet another stupid reality show.
