Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

java, I dunno. Me, I wouldn't be real happy with that level of service. If things are going to take time, they just do, but someone should be available and willing to give you an idea of how much time, at least.

Where do you get coconut oil? Is that grocery store stuff?

I buy the coconut oil I use on my skin from the grocery store, and the coconut oil I use in my food from the organic all-natural store. Coconut oil is a solid at room temperature, but its melting point is 76degF, so it melts in your hand pretty quickly. It is shelf-stable for a longlong time and doesn't need to be refrigerated.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I've skived off most of the day, and am only now getting around to catching up. MFN, I do hope you take your f-in-law's offer to help, unless he's likely to be more work than he helps with. Sounds like he'll be handy for handling the daytime Stuff. You can make it up to him by bringing home really good takeout -- your husband probably won't have much appetite, but that way you can reward your FiL.

Some in-laws would only add to the stress in this situation, so it's a YiLMV situation.

Jesse, I hadn't remembered about your father's diagnosis, and now I feel like a bad Buffista!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Congratulations, SuziQ! And, happy birthday, Perkins!

javachik, I had no problem getting a hold of people at State Farm for my car repairs, but my car didn't get hurt in a major weather event. If there were a lot of people with flood damage, they might be a bit overwhelmed. I hope someone will get back to you soon with useful info and anything else you might need from them.

I just finished dealing with the screen Leifur burst through yesterday. I went to Lowes and asked how much an entire new in-frame screen would cost--answer, $32 for my window dimensions. Then the guy told me that if I brought in my screen frame and bought just the screen section he'd install it for me. Which I did. Half an hour later I had a fresh new screen for under $6.00. As soon as I got home (and installed the screen) I went to the Lowes.com contact form and left a glowing review for the employee.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Suzi, congrats!!

Perkins, totally happy birthday wishes for you! MWAH!

Sparky, I'm looking forward to seeing you on TV, but mostly I hope it gets Sass home.

Yes, exactly this. (Although I'm glad they had a make-up person for you. I'm just inappropriately weird that way.)

Congratulations, Suzi!

Perkins, may you have the best of birthdays.

Maria, I'm vibing hard for you and your DH. Please be as easy on yourself as you would any one of us who would be caught between such a nasty rock and awful hard place.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

Timelies!!

I'm in Seattle and supposed to be meeting meara today! Which will be lovely except my phone has chosen right now to break, so that's inconvenient. It's driving me absolutely insane - it was fine! And all of a sudden it has no service and no amount of resetting will fix it.
