There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Years ago a friend who'd started a business writing and copyediting was handed a pamphlet by a protester ... who was startled, to say the least, when she automatically started copyediting it.

I am mostly spending my day going to various retail locations begging for moving boxes. I've had limited success. Borders was alway my go to for moving boxes. Does anyone have any suggestion about stores that are good for giving away boxes?

I'm now taking an oral chemo, Xeloda. I find the idea of do-it-yourself chemo odd. "You too can do chemotherapy at home for fun and profit."

Henna people: Apparently coating one's hands and feet in henna paste is a proven help for this chemo's ugliest side effect, something unimaginatively called Hand Foot Syndrome. Anyone have a source for cheap fresh Indian henna in bulk? There are some big Indian stores near me that I should check out.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Not sure who the profit's for except the (PTUI!!) usual suspects, but I'm glad to hear they're finally moving their asses for you.

Oh! We can help you shop for awesome mehndi designs! [link]

Liquor stores often have good boxes.

sj, I've usually gotten most of my moving boxes from liquor stores.

How interesting, Ginger--I just started working on a breast cancer study that has oral chemo (and a once-weekly IV). You have to have been recently on Herceptin, though. I guess maybe it's becoming a thing? Seems weird, but I guess easier. No clue on the henna though.

Ginger, how are you feeling? I've been thinking about you. Does at home chemo have similar side effects to chemo delivered in the hospital? Is there anything you need?
