I'm up I-55 a ways, but the storm here hasn't stopped the air show.
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

ND, good luck getting home.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
You're in the UK, right? Whereabouts? I'm about (assuming nothing goes horribly wrong) to move to London, hopefully to not pick up swine flu...
London, fairly central. Shiny - when might you move here?
The way I feel now, I'd go for the 'wear a mask in the street' option (despite the pointing and laughing and being arrested thing) - but thinking about it, I only *personally* know two other people who've caught this thing. I've just been really unlucky (and have a useless immune system). The Girl, who lives with me, has no symptoms.
I just bid on a food dehydrator on eBay.
How do those work? Do you rehydrate the food later?
ND, I hope you're not too delayed by the storm.

They're fabulous, Aimee!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Nope. It's for making things like dried fruit, or sundried tomatoes (except, not sundried, but dehydrator-dried), or other stuff like that that you eat dry. I also keep seeing recipes for kale chips -- tear up kale, add some olive oil and flavorings, put in dehydrator, and you end up with crispy kale chips. (Or you can be like this woman and make cookies, but you have to make almond milk first, and I really don't have the time or motivation to make homemade almond milk. The packaged kind of almond milk is fine with me. [link] )

Thanks sj!! I'm totally scouring yard sales and thrift stores and JoAnn's for fabric remnants to do more with shoeboxes and the like.

I've read that it's more effective for someone who is infected with H1N1 to wear a mask to avoid spreading it than for an uninfected person to wear a mask to avoid it.

(The dehydrator you see in the pictures in my link is one of the fancy expensive ones. I bid on one of the cheap plastic ones.)

Shiny - when might you move here?
Um, early-mid Septemberish. Nothing's finalised yet. I'll be working nearish to Hackney, I think, but we still have no idea where to look for flats or anything.
I catch everything going, so I don't fancy my chances with oink flu. Hope you feel better soon though!
