I knew about the guy who donates stuff and makes care packages. I think that's really cool. I hadn't heard about the family that mostly hunts their meat, that's cool.
They hunt with bow and arrow. Those arrows looked pretty flimsy -- wouldn't the deer be alive but injured for a while after being shot with an arrow? (That's the reasoning behind the Jewish prohibition on hunting -- in all likelihood, you're going to end up injuring the animal rather than killing it directly, and injuring an animal needlessly is prohibited.)
Hmm. I found the expected strawberry rhubarb jam, a rhubarb ginger jam, rhubarb gooseberry jam (I don't know where to get gooseberries), and a rhubarb, date, and apricot chutney. That chutney seems like it could be interesting, and it just makes three cups, which is manageable.
The grilled cheese truck didn't show!
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
That is tragic!
I got bonus early menopause with the chemo. I made the oncologist laugh when I shrugged and said "oh well".
Making the oncologist laugh! Now that's a skill.
No grilled cheese truck AND no french fry truck! Betrayed!
BTW, Tom, we had to run to the library. We may be back, depends on the kids.
I’m halfway through the lobster roll truck line. Only 20 more minutes to go!
for me...well, instead of giving life to someone else, it have me MY life back.
As with most chronic illnesses, it worsened by such slow increments I didn't realize how bad it really was (My GP: It's all a part of getting older. You can take three of these at the worst times) until in the midst of the usual miserable cramps, one physically jerked me double. Two months after surgery I was ecstatic at how *good* I felt--all the time!
that was the hardest damn removal I've ever done. So sorry we had to leave a bit of your cervix in there."
Yeah, my surgeon was appalled at the horrid infection my GP had somehow not detected. Because one abcessed ovary burst during surgery and contaminated the cavity, he expected a long and difficult recovery. But I think my body was just so happy and relieved to have all that gone it bounced back without a single complication.
You hate to recommend major, life-changing surgery to anybody. But my experience was wonderful and life-restoring, so take from that what you will.
Meanwhile, my practicioners continue to do PAP swabs. Finally I pinned one with, "I don't have a cervix--exactly WHAT are you swabbing?" She agreed every other year was often enough for random tissue checks.
No grilled cheese truck AND no french fry truck! Betrayed!
Maybe the Rapture
did
happen after all--and the people who were raptured consists entirely of the folks who run the grilled cheese truck and french fry truck, and the Apple employees who were supposed to put last night's
Doctor Who
episode on iTunes....
I need to hire a web designer for my site, and I'm unsure what going rates are or how to not be a dick about what I want.
Is it normal to pay a deposit and then full amount upon delivery? Does anyone have any recommendation? I thought I could just mock up exactly what I want in six powerpoint slides that show the color/typeface and where I want the content to be. I tried doing this on my own, but my HTML days have long gone and it isn't worth the frustration to me.
Any recs for a professional designer? How do I know what a fair price is?
