Awesomeness~ma for your people and their interview, Shir! So exciting! Let me know if there's a link to it online afterwards. I shall get The Girl to translate it for me.
There should be something like Lactaid for gluten intolerance.
I think that every damn day.
Me too. How much would I love an enzyme that let me eat pizza. That's not even a question, it's so much. Enjoy the waffle, Teppy! (I do the 'I'm having the damn [lovely wheat-based product] and screw the reaction' thing too occasionally.)
Much healing~ma for your mother-in-law's arm, billytea. That must be so frustrating for you all.
In a case of irritating deja-vu, Derby is proving to be no better than Leeds at supporting its disabled students. Having originally seemed good, they're putting me off repeatedly over support workers that I desperately need. Even more worrying, I was just stranded during an actual fire with no evacuation plan. I happened to be downstairs at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have got out at all. I couldn't go back upstairs for an hour because they wouldn't switch the lifts on, or even tell me when they were going to do that. Am managing to control my "I want to leave and never come back" reaction, as I have those a lot and usually regret them. But, gah. When I'm doing lots of work to try and organise all this stuff, the repeatedly ignored e-mails and requests for help are pissing me off.
Much, much~ma to your MiL, bt.
Blech. Who decided that salad dressing should be sweet? I got a prepackaged salad with spinach, onions, walnuts, and mandarin oranges, and I was expecting a vinegary dressing, but this is pretty much entirely sugar. Even if I just dip the tines of my fork into the dressing and try it by itself, I don't taste anything but sweet.
And I'll bet it has high fructose corn syrup!
Seska, I am frustrated on your behalf. It bugs the hell out of me that you are having this trouble. And I'm very concerned about the safety issues.
Sweet salad dressing is a mistake. Even thousand island is a bit yucky.
I'm concerned about my safety too, WindSparrow. I have a feeling a whole lot of rage is about to be unleashed on the university from the direction of Houston, though. She gets stuff done when she's angry.
The waffle did not make me feel better. Though it was tasty.
The pink link didn't work for me?
My neighbors are apparently digging out their basement and redoing their foundation. How do I know? Their architect just called and blathered on and on and on about how she has to tell me stuff but it's easier in person, etc etc etc. Omg, lady. Just set up a meeting already. I was kinda rude at the end but she just wouldn't stop talking--except she wasn't saying anything of substance, just repeating herself. Yeeeeeesh! I hope this does not involve tearing up my newly planted blueberry bushes. But I suspect it will. If they tear down our wisteria I'll hurt them.
