All I can say is, if anyone can pump that much to make this kind of stuff regularly? Needs to start a fetish site to sell it. I'm not buying, but sure as heck, someone would.

{{Nora}} Mucho sympathy on coping with asshats. Your engineer uncle and my dad. More technology is not the answer to everything.

Could I get a little, let-this-not-be-the-start-of-flu~ma? I've got that internal chill, queasiness and slight shakiness that usually comes with it. To try and nip it in the bud, I got chicken soup for lunch. While the queasiness is much reduced, still have the chills going on. Ugh. Fortunately, I've got enough extra time on the clock, I can leave in 2 hours. Joy.

NO FLU FOR YOU!

Sail, there are already sites that sell it for women who adopt but want to give the baby breast milk, women who can't produce for what ever, reason, etc. It's big business.

It's pretty well known that a) I have very few boundaries and b) I'd do just about anything for cash, but THAT is so very beyond even me.

Feel better, Sail!

I did have a friend who had enough milk that she was able to donate it somehow to social services. I forget now how much extra she had to have to make the donation.

Yeah, I can see donating extra to where it's really needed. The rest, I wouldn't personally do, but I can see others doing it for a variety of reasons. They don't necessarily make sense to me, but I can see it.

Okay, here's a link everyone should click on:

The closest thing I could find online to the hat I'm wearing RIGHT NOW. Except my hat is black straw with red feathers. But, otherwise, same identical hat.

There was a woman at the RenFaire in Gilroy selling them for $26, in black, white, lime, hot pink, red and purple. I got the black and asked her to customize it with red feathers, which she did at no extra charge, and when my friend Charlotte saw it she ran right over and ordered five more in various color combinations. I FUCKING LOVE THIS HAT.

Bayistas please note: The same woman will be selling the same hats at the same hatshop at the Dickens Fair in December. (I have boring political differences with the management of Dickens, but I'm more than happy to pimp for this wonderful milliner.)

JZ, that hat is freaking awesome! Pimp away!

JZ, I love that hat! I think I need one.

Cute hat, JZ!

I am in my jammies right now, as I took a mental health day to get some desperately needed sleep, and, starting now, to clean my frelling apartment. It's a hellhole again. All the entropy EVAR is occurring in my apartment.

I'm going to modify a Flylady technique and start in one room, set the kitchen timer for 30 minutes, and clean whatever I can in that room until the time goes off. Then maybe 5-10 minutes break. Then new room, 30 minutes, lather, rinse, repeat until apartment is clean or until I have to hop in the shower before going to a wine-tasting at 7 p.m. tonight.

And keep in mind, this is just cleaning in the sense of straightening up/putting things away/throwing out things that are already out and just lying around. This is NOT closet-cleaning, which needs to be done in a big bad ugly way.

Okay, then. Once more unto the breach....
