I randomly found this blog while looking for a picture of a KitchenAid (your chicken graphic caught my eye!). I would hate to do that to a KitchenAid, but I hear the raw diet really is the best thing for cats. Are you using organic meats? I imagine all of the hormones, etc., now given to livestock could be giving cats problems through the food. As a vegan, the whole topic makes me feel sick, but I am tired of reading these dry food labels that just sound.... not healthy. Have you found a good source of Taurine? It really is important for their health, but that Papaya thing you describe sounds disgusting (and maybe not safe for a cat). I now wonder just how much testing these foods are given. I see sugars added to lots of treats. That can't be good. Well, I hope your cat is still doing well (she looks very similar to my fussy eater!). cheers! that is a beautiful cat!

]]> Comment on Wherein the author discusses being the odd girl out by Rebekah http://www.innergeek.us/blog/index.php/2010/03/wherein-the-author-discusses-being-the-odd-girl-out/comment-page-1/#comment-1070 Rebekah Sat, 23 Jul 2011 04:02:56 +0000 http://www.innergeek.us/blog/?p=944#comment-1070 Hey, Amy. Don't let 'em bug you. They aren't worth the time. I'm a 14-year-old geek gal, and I was pretty badly teased in sixth grade as well. In seventh grade, I learned sarcasm was the best way to fight this kind of stuff off. If people look absurd when they make fun of you, then they won't bother. Middle school sucks, because everyone's going through puberty, and emotions run high, and all of a sudden you have to worry about schedules, and being late, and different teachers with different homework and different agendas. Everyone's freaking out, so, naturally, they all start picking on each other, which is really, really stupid. Anyway, I skipped eighth grade, and I'm in high school now. The middle school teachers make a big flippin' deal about high school, but it's not much different from seventh grade, except people are a little calmer. The work isn't any harder than middle-school work, really. Once you find someone who understands the reference in the phrase "The cake is a lie," then you've found a new best friend. If you don't understand it, you need to play Portal, because Portal is a very awesome game. You can get it on Steam. Also, for stress relief, you should learn how to shoot something. I recommend the bow and arrow, or an air soft gun. Or karate. Personally, I do all three, but that's me. Ciao, Rebekah Hey, Amy. Don’t let ‘em bug you. They aren’t worth the time.

Mine have a thin grey band around the outside, then a blue melting into green melting into brown at the iris. The overall effect is like a relief map more than anything else. I have no photographer friends that can get a good picture. I'm trying in Photoshop. And I am a nerd, not a geek and I hope not a complete dork.
