I couldn't find the Sonic Youth casting thread but Allison Janney could totally play a modern era Kim Gordon.

I've just been informed that Os Mutantes and Meat Puppets have been added to the ATP Nightmare Before Xmas line-up. Oh yes!

MellySingsDoom 09.15.2008 04:30 AM

Yes, we have - I'm sharing a self-catering chalet with 3 friends. Lots of cooking our own food for us, and the fridge will be stocked with much beer. You of course are more than welcome to visit us while we're there :)

I'd wish I could see Os Mutantes. :(

Meat Puppets are "ok". I've seen them twice this last year; once opening up for TEH YOOF and again for Built to Spill. they sounded really rusty the first time, but were a little better the second time. just pray that they stick to the old stuff...

I'll a-start praying to...um, well not "god", but...ah sod it, I'll sacrifice a Nandos chicken to the gods and hope that works. I am really looking forward to seeing the Mutantes - I'll try to ensure to take pics of them when they play, and post them up here in due course :)

Pookie 09.15.2008 11:12 AM

Meat Puppets have always been great when I've seen them.

Then again, it's been a few years.

Pookie 09.15.2008 11:13 AM

Thinking about it, I think 1995 was the last time I saw them!

Doesn't time fly?

MellySingsDoom 09.15.2008 11:19 AM

Christ it does, I think 1995 was the first and probably the last time I saw Fushitsusha - yikes!

So, I called the vet about bringing ONE of my rats in and getting a mite treatment for all of them and respiratory infection stuff for the big guys.

The bad news is the mite treatment is an injection, meaning I would have to bring all three of my boys in. That's $80 per rat! $240! Plus all the medication!

So, I'd like to say fuck you vet and your dumb ass high prices.

█████████ 09.15.2008 01:31 PM

use this, it costs $10.

Question
hey!! I am Catrina. I am 15 years old. recently i noticed some thinning in my hamsters hair and scratching a lot. So i brought him to the vet. They checked him and saw no mites, but gave him an injection for a demodex mite,, which apparently cannot be seem. I had to save up 109 dollars for this, and he still scratches like crazy. Even though i payed with my own money my mom wont let me bring him back and i am worried about him and really sad that after saving all that money the vet did nothing. I was just wondering if you could help. Thanks so much


Answer
Hi Catrina,

Thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear that that method did not work :/ Hamsters can catch mites and these should be treated by an anti-mite spray intended for hamsters. Disinfect the whole cage and apply some anti-mite spray on the hamster bedding and on the hamster. Do not apply the spray directly on the hamster but apply some on a small brush, comb the brush on the hamster and then use a small cloth or tissue paper to dry off the hamster.

The most common signs of hamster's fur problems are: loss of fur, sores, dry, itchy skin, reddened skin. These problems may be caused by tiny skin parasites, allergies, hormonal imbalance or improper diet. Mother hamsters shed fur around their teats when they are nursing their young baby hamsters. Old hamsters have less fur due to a drop in certain hormone levels as the hamster gets older.

Hamster having an allergy can be one of the most common reasons for hamster fur loss. Cedar Shavings can cause allergic reactions. Pine shavings are preferable to Cedar but paper based shavings are the best used. A hamster may become allergic to certain foods. It is important to consider if anything was changed to the hamster's diet, location, or routine which could have caused the hamster the allergic reaction.

Wood shavings as bedding can be replaced with tissue paper to establish if the bedding material is the cause of the allergy, feeding the hamster a plain diet for a few days may establish if the hamster is suffering from a food allergy. When you establish what is the source of allergy that is making the hamster losing fur, the source should be removed immediately.

If you have any more questions, you can always drop me a line anytime on nadia@hamster-club.com

Kind Regards

My mom looks for spray at the pet store and couldn't find it (and there was no one around to help her because the place became balls after they switched hands)

I just gave my mom the vet phone number and she's giving them a call. Personally, I don't care how they're treated as long as they are. Two of them have crazy cuts and bald spots from scratching, while the other is just starting to scratch. My mom will figure something out I hope.

Woman dies after being scratched by rat

A woman has died from a rare disease after she was scratched by a rat that she was trying to free from her garden bird feeder.

Carol Colburn, 56, ignored pleas from her husband to wear gloves and suffered scratches and cuts to her fingers as she struggled to free the rodent from the wire feeder. Four days later she developed flu-like symptoms, and within 48 hours she was dead.

An inquest heard she had contracted Weil's disease, a severe form of leptospirosis, which is caused by bacteria found in the urine of wild animals.

In most cases of leptospirosis, sufferers experience severe headaches and flu-like symptoms. Weil's disease, which affects around 10 per cent of lepto­spirosis victims, causes jaundice and liver damage, and can be fatal.

About 50 confirmed cases of Weil's disease are reported to the Public Health Authority each year but in 2006 just two people died from the condition.

Marc Cubbon, a microbiologist at the Royal Sussex Hospital in Brighton, told Brighton Coroners' Court that humans can become infected if they come into contact with the animal's urine, either in soil or in water, or if they come into contact with the animal's skin and they have an open wound.

He said it was also possible that humans might be able to inhale the disease.

Recording a narrative verdict, Arthur Hooper, the deputy coroner for Brighton and Hove, said: "The public should be made aware of the dangers of leaving food out, deliberately or unintentionally, that might attract animals like rats. If you must come into contact with rats please wear gloves."

What an idiot, you should wear gloves when you're touching or picking up any wild animal. Although good for her for caring for the wild ratatikin.

Cantankerous 09.15.2008 04:15 PM

you should never vacuum rodent feces because it can have hantavirus in it and it will become airborne and if you get it death is a good possibility.


fuck it, i don't care. go and die.

Pookie 09.15.2008 04:16 PM

I take it all back. You are badass.

Cantankerous 09.15.2008 04:16 PM

floatingslowly 09.15.2008 04:21 PM

as a (proud) owner of "The Patient's Guide to Viral Hemorrhagic Fever", I fear not the rat feces.

Her daughter is on television right now, warning people of the dangers of gloveless rat touching!

terriblecanyons 09.15.2008 04:35 PM

Gloveless rat touching... that sounds naughty.

Oh, it is... ;)

I think I mentioned it here, but we got my friend a rat and he lost it in his garage. We were in there a few days ago (three week later) and we fucking found her living in the rafters. She was a little shy at first but now she's back to her little rat self. I was convinced that she'd find a man rat and live the rest of her life as a wild rat does.

That's pretty gross, I've never had anything puss green (that I remember anywys)

Gross story...

When I got my belly button pierced, my friend (who I'm not friends with anymore, by the way) got her's done too. The only different was that shortly after getting them done, her's got ripped out.

It healed and what not (but she didn't get stitches, I would have because it healed open. If you get what I'm saying) and in the summer she got it pierced again. A few days ago she showed it to me and it's fucking all pussy and rejecting.

She said that it was all puffy the day before, so she squeezed it and green puss came out of the middle part (not either hole where the bar goes through!) She also said, "I'm probably going to take it out in a few days." and I was like, "Yeeeaahhhh." but thinking, "Man, you should take that out right the fuck now."

My cookies were tossed everywhere.

schizophrenicroom 09.15.2008 05:09 PM

oh, ew! i was eating, too. i was thinking about getting something pierced soon, but i'm really too wimpy. especially if something like that happened. i'd be a blubbering mess.

terriblecanyons 09.15.2008 05:13 PM

I'm gonna get my eyebrow pierced... I think

If it's your belly button you're thinking about, don't worry. Her's only got ripped out because she wore dangle ones all the time, it was tugged a lot before the actually ripping through the flesh.

Also, the reason it got so fucked the second time is before she changed it before it was all healed, and put in a dangle one again haha. Idiot.

Piercings are pretty easy, just take care of them while they're healing and after that they just seem like part of you.

My nose ring is annoying right now though, because I'm sick.

EMMAh 09.15.2008 05:23 PM

terriblecanyons, just don't get dice. They're ugly.
