Hey! Can folks who are helpful with job negotiations pop over into Natter to weigh in on our correspondence with the New Orleans company that just offered Tom a job?!!??!?
OOO! I'm not popping into Natter (sorry, not enough time to read Bitches AND Natter), but tons of congrats on the job offer! What ever the negotiation needs are, I hope they all work out.
Any tips on upping iron?
Bonny, I am so proud of you! You faced fears, asked to do it again, and looking to improve your iron count so you can do it AGAIN! YOU ROCK! In honor of that, and as designated cheerleader, I now attempt to sing "Iron Man"
Duuu Duuu Du Du Duuuuu Dudaduda duuu daa daa "Run-ning fast as we can, Bonny is full of Iron a-gain!"
Bonny, when I was pregnant, my midwife suggested Floradix for upping my iron. It looked gross but tasted okay and my iron stayed high enough until Frisco was born.
Why does having a pain flare-up always make me crave ridiculous food? Or, if not ridiculous, then food that is really impractical to obtain while I'm in pain. Right now, I really really want a calzone from a particular restaurant that's not even remotely near my apartment. Actually, now that I think about it, the last several times I've had cravings like this, they've all been for specific things from restaurants around U Street or Columbia Heights. I have no idea what this means.
Why can I ignore the "10 items or less" sign at the grocery store but every time I hear "More movie, less commercials" on TNT my skin itches and I have to shout, "fewer!" at the teevee?
visual vs. auditory? We are used to reading incorrect stuff (hello text messages and internet), but not hearing it.
"More movie, less commercials" on TNT my skin itches and I have to shout, "fewer!" at the teevee?
I do that to the radio ("More music, less commercials").
Perhaps also because the grocery signs have been around since before I knew the rule.
I was just trying to type "farther vs further" into the search window but my computer was being pokey and I didn't catch on until it said "fartfartfart". I had to share.

Perfect! Thanks Stephanie. I'm going to get some right away. It seems like just the thing.
I have to confess that I'm in the 'you can't tell me I can't!' frame of mind. I do what I say I'm going to do, and being turned away...even from a terrifying event...just gets my Irish up.
In a way, this bump may be a blessing.
I have no idea why having low iron is bad for me, but I suppose I should find out and then see how I feel when it's closer to normal.

Yours could very well be in the range of normal, just too low for the Red Cross.
yay bonny! congratulations on doing something so hard!
sigh ... they don't want my blood - I take too many medications
