I'm in 3" heels, a skirt past my ankles, and I have a gimpy hand. I also have a flat tyre and am waiting in a gas station parking lot for AAA. Oh, and missing the class for which I just created a lesson plan.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, ita, that sucks. Hope the AAA gets there soon.

Hebrew National hot dogs tells me that the back half of the cow is nonkosher. If they are accurate, what's the explanation? Too close to the poop parts?
I hope your parents ultimately come to remember the China trip fondly. There were a lot of things so fucked up during my Africa trip, but I pretty much dismiss them now. Though I really wish I hadn't gotten the worst pms emotional storm of my life the day of the eclipse. That still embarrasses me, though not much I could've done about it short of locking myself in a cave.

ita, good lord. I hope you evening improves by leaps and bounds.

That sucks, ita. May they get there soon.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Hebrew National hot dogs tells me that the back half of the cow is nonkosher. If they are accurate, what's the explanation?
As I understand it, it's basically a practicality thing: To be considered kosher, all the veins, sinews, certain large nerves, and I think some other stuff have to be removed from the meat, all under the proper sort of supervision. There's a lot more of that stuff to be stripped out from the hindquarters, so big producers like HN sell off those parts -- but it's not like shellfish or pork, where it can't be kosher no matter how carefully and expensively you handle it.

At least I'd already texted in late since I got held over at work. But this bites. Planning/teaching level five is a huge opportunity.
Okay. Been twenty minutes. They said within thirty...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
sarameg, this is the clearst explanation I could find:
But of mammals that are kosher, not all of their parts necessarily are. The sciatic nerve, for example, and its related arteries, are not permissible to eat. But because the process of removing them from the animal's hind quarter is so labor-intensive and time-consuming, it's not worth the trouble and cost to go through this procedure. So, at least in America, the hind quarters are considered unkosher -- which means cuts such as sirloin, T-bone, and filet mignon are not eaten.
That's a drag, ita. I'm sorry.

Not that it helps you at the moment, but is the lesson plan something you can reuse at least?
