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.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

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.

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.

I wonder if allowing the hunter to use a dog to find the injured would help?
(It helps bird hunters.)

I wish I had done it earlier instead of trying to tough it out.
I think I was so (relatively) young, gynos before my Beloved Gyno didn't bring it up because of COURSE I would regret not being able to have children if I had it done in my early 30's.
She was all "Do you want kids?"
"Nope."
"Are you sure?"
"Yep."
"All right then, let's yank this crap out. You will feel SO much better."
And I did. The first day after my full hyst, I was miserable, largely because of the unexpected difficulty of the removal, but I was walking a day after and healed up great. Of course, my doc doesn't believe in stoicism -- she was all "If you are in pain, really, take the Vicodin. Pain prevents the body from healing faster" and I was all "Sister, you do NOT have to tell me."
I stayed stoned for about 5 days after and slept a lot, tried to get up and walk around the block of my folks house once a day and I think that's what got me back in trim so soon. I am a firm believer in the healing power of SLEEP.
22 days after my hysterectomy, I went on a blind date, and met my future husband, and am a stepmom. No regrets.

Ha! I'm not an astrology person, but the career portion of today's horoscope reads
"Deep, gradual changes are happening, and you're nothing if not in tune with them. You may need to help someone else become equally at ease."
O RLY?!
Hee. For once, it's right (I know, I know -- statistical probability. But it amused me.)
