Was just woken up by a chipmunk running over my blankets (or, I was woken by the cat pouncing on the bed, and feeling a patter over me that was too light to be the cat).
'Tis the season.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

I am gratefully free of any awful complications Down There, and I haven't had put-me-on-the-floor cramps in 25 years (not an invitation to the universe to remind me). I'm just an average female who has spent 35 years messing with this, and that's damned well long enough.

Insent, Allyson.
It is normal to pay something down. For a small site, it's usually either half down and half at completion or a third down, a third at some specific milestone and the final payment on completion.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Hil, hunters don't always get it right with guns. It's a sad fact but even with rifles, the deer will get hit and run for miles unless it's dropped on the spot. Then the hunter has to track it from the blood trail. Like Ginger said--the good hunters wait until they can get a good shot to kill it immediately.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They'd made the box the product came in smaller. Therefore they could claim environmental friendliness.
They were using less materials and probably reducing the impact on the environment of shipping and storage. How is that not a win.
Hubby and I call it the "Now with free air!" syndrome.
Could be a bargain for a SCUBA diver.
Am being admitted into hospital. I need to take action with this headache. Except, this fucks up work tomorrow.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh, ita. I hope they can find a solution, at least temporarily, and that work isn't too fucked up.

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

Ugh. The poor deer.
(I know very little about hunting and such. I have never been hunting. I've gone fishing twice, when I was a kid and our town had a father-child fishing derby, and both times, my father refused to touch the worms, or even carry the closed container that the worms came in.)

The stockpile is where I stop feeling impressed with the whacko couponers. Well, it's more the fact that they are still at the store anyway, whether they need anything or not. And, like Allyson, I'm thinking how you can't stockpile fresh things.
