ita- I hope you feel better today.
Does anyone have an iron recommendations? I have a crappy broken iron at home that I have been putting off replacing because I like my work Rowenta so much, but I really don't want to spend over $100 on an iron. $30ish would be good. I really want something heavy, with adjustable steam, a spray and a surge button, and auto shut off. I want to note that I have been using this broken iron (does not steam, I need to spray water on my clothes instead) for about three years, but now my spraybottle is broken!
Sophia, look at ebay and craigslist for used ones. Also, if you have any sewing or quilting shops in town you might want to ask them if they know anyone selling a used one. I know my mom's quilt shops often know of used ones or even sell them for people. Lastly, does Rochester have a lot of estate sales? Workable small appliances are often very cheap at estate sales - it might not be a Rowenta, but for $10 or so maybe worth the risk of trying whatever is available.
Blech. I was supposed to go to a trapeze class today, but I just canceled because my stomach isn't feeling great, and not-so-great stomach doesn't seem like a good thing with trapeze.
Holy moley, that was some good Nattering last night! Awesome.
ita, I hope you are doing better today. I'm so sorry about the migraine med side effects. Ugh.
Please feel better ita.

I think that's a safe bet.
Best Presidential Dedication Ever!
From the Department of Damned-With-Faint-Praise, a group going by the regal-sounding name of the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is planning to ask voters here to change the name of a prize-winning water treatment plant on the shoreline to the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.

Good ideas! Estate sales and such aren't really workable here without a car, but I can see if a friend wants to go.

Agreed. Sorry to have missed it (and sorry Victor missed it).
Thanks, guys. My head does feel decent right now so it's a matter of learning how best to take these meds. Next time I'll try going to sleep before they kick in--falling asleep is made more difficult when you want the planet to go up in a ball of flame. It
distracts
so.
Hil, Kat gave me Preggie Pops to help with my upset stomach (which I now see are available in all sorts of normal places--hmm...), and since I'm not sold on the ingredients helping (well, not as fast as help seems to kick in), I wonder if it's the action of sucking on the candy that soothes.
Might help, if that's the sort of unrest you're having.

You'll want to avoid these pops, though.

Probably. At least for me it is.
