scottobearI hate getting my buttons pushed...I guess that goes without saying for anyone. I'm good as long as I realize it's being done, and I can stay on top of it. It's difficult, sometimes. Some folks have their head so far up their asses that they can't see the colon for the polyps. If someone wants to be an idiot, warn 'em kindly, and let them go on being an idiot.
The first half of last night's JL was weak, but the part two more than made up for it. "I've got issues, what with destroying the Earth and all." Lobo never did anything for me... there was a lot of fighting, but not much plot development in the first part.. just fighting.
Holidays are starting to come, now.. so it's time to mention Toys for Tots Unwrapped toys for kids that'd otherwise have nothing. It's a good org, and I have to consider what I want to do this year for them, or a like charity.
I've changed my "recently updated" image on the blogroll form turkeys
to smurfs

Three articles about the same thing - Kitties and Mind-Altering Parasites.
Dangerrrr: cats could alter your personality
Decreased level of psychobiological factor novelty seeking and lower intelligence in men latently infected with the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii Dopamine, a missing link between schizophrenia and toxoplasmosis?
Parasites make scaredy-rats foolhardy
Apparently, the parasites get in and mess with neurotransmitters in ways we don't quite understand yet -- to make their targets *more vulnerable to cats*, with some vaguely disturbing personality changes.
Based on preliminary studies, 30-90% of people (varying from country to country) are infected already.
There's no known cure. The CDC factsheet
