I'm a long-time Heifer.org donater. The animals you pick are donated symbolically. As in, you give a goat, but really ten families get chickens.
Totally not an issue until the year my sister and I crossed charities in the mail.
Her
charity transferred her donation into an actual goat. Yes, we're the sort of sisters that gives goats (unknowingly!) in each other's names. I ended up a bit jealous that hers was a bit more literal than mine.
Yes, we're the sort of sisters where that sort of thing gets a grudging nod of "Fine. But next year I will best you!"
For the record, her goat went through Oxfam. Which is British, so I don't know how simple it is to donate from the US.
I wish I had a job so I could properly budget goats in this Christmas. Well, it's on my list when I do get one.
Just finished watching The OC. Dude. It made me laugh--on purpose, and more than once. Not S1 material, but trumping just about any S2 episode in terms of humour, and then some.
I think it's cute that kat/lori and sarameg will be even kinda nearby at Christmas.
Everyone! Come on down to Jamaica! The water's fine, and the intoxicants even better.
Speaking of which, why isn't the pain gone? Vicodin has rebelled, I fear, which is way ahead of schedule. I just figured that combined with Benadryl (if there are drug-interaction lectures you want to give me, you'd better be Teppy or similarly qualified, otherwise I'm going to skim right on past--I've been wanting to claw my own face off all day and if I don't sleep innocents will die and I might fuck up my interview tomorrow) would make even slightly disposed to sleep.
Nothing yet. And it's not like I'm going to toss a Flexeril into that soup.
eta: Matt, I love that he ate it. ADORE.
I saw a picture of one of the extra "legs" which was more like a vestigial limb... still, it had hooves, so I guess it counts. Poor little confused buck-doe!
I was offline from around 7 PM to now, and I was just about to call Comcast and complain, but I noticed that my Airport widget wasn't showing signal. If I'm directly connected I'm just fine. Feh.
"And by the way, I did eat it," Lisko said. "It was tasty."
Love this. Not worth mid-night insomnia maybe, but I'm glad the dead freak dear was turned into nummy venison.

I want to do this. I'll give someone an ass in my brother's name. He's was ass-y enough to spare some.

My drug interaction warnings consist mainly of - eh, I tried it and didn't die. Which is going to be excellent advice until the one time it isn't. I guess it doesn't really qualify as advice so much as chatting about recipes.
That said, I've taken Benedryl with absolutely everything else I have ever taken and have never had issues.
I wonder what you do if you're allergic to Benedryl.
Um. I wrote a book. And it's for sale. At Walmart.
Dude. So fucking awesome.
My family never gives goats for *any* occasion. Sad now.

I am like unto a shaman.
Benadryl is generally safe with just about anything, including other drugs that make you sleepy. Yes, I know the box of Benadryl says not to do that, but as long as it's the normal dosage of Benadryl and the normal dose of OtherSleepyMakingDrug, you'll be fine.
You notice how no one has posted in the last 90 minutes since my previous post? It's because everyone is taking Benadryl with other meds and they're DROPPING LIKE FLIES.

Now that you mention it, a nap does sound kind of nice.
I'm snorting Benadryl off a hooker's ass RIGHT NOW, AIFG!
