Er, did you think that was a joke? I was serious -- do a Google search on "amatorization" and see which mccmedia.com page is in the results list. But it wasn't real estate, it was energy we were talking about.So there. The antibiotics end today!
Great news!
And speaking of Google, I was somewhat bothered by the fact that when I searched on one of the antibiotics I'm taking (Flagyl, which *sounds* horrible just for starters), I mostly saw references to ferrets, dogs and cats. Wondered if I saw a vet at Kaiser.
Well, you know the lengths that HMOs will go to in order to cut costs . . . ;-)
Apparently, ferrets will just go crazy trying to get Flagyl out of their mouths.
Whereas cats will go crazy (and drive you crazy) trying to get _any_ pill out of their mouths.
(The worst such experience I've had was when Andy returned from an extended stay at the vet and brought home the kitty version of a cold, which he proceeded to give to Spot, and then the vet gave me two types of pills I had to give each of them. Giving two pills to one cat while the other stands by looking on, knowing it is going to be his turn next, can be a chore . . . )

Almighty Ruler of the all,
Whose Power extends to great and small,
Who guides the stars with steadfast law,
Whose least creation fills with awe,
O grant thy mercy and thy grace,
To those who venture into space.
