Hey, Vortex, if you’re still on vacation and not busy tomorrow, we're having a mini-F2F brunch in NYC tomorrow.

Wish I could, would love to see you!

Thrive to spite them

I made dinner and now my stomach is really upset. I might have under cooked the chicken. If I did that would I start feeling it a few hours after I ate.

I would like to go one month without some stupid health thing. Or a month without doindoing stupid stuff that effects my health.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I hope Harvey continues to improve.

I am researching requirements for filing for non-profit status for our PTO. How did I get in this place? Oh, that's right, I volunteered. /idiot

Very glad to hear about Harvey, WS.

askye, health~ma. Also, did you get the crosses? They should have been there by now.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Feeling any better, askye?

As for Harvey's continued improvement, he managed to get past the twist-tie fastening the zipper pulls together. Does that count? At a certain point the worry and frustration evaporate and leave nothing but pride behind.

That's pretty impressive.

Yay Harvey!

Askye, J Jill makes trousers in a variety of fits and styles, many of which have elastic waists. And they're mostly machine washable. [link]

Also, LLBean makes a decent pull on pant (not as nice as JJill, but better prices) [link]

And for things that "require" hand washing - get some sweater bags and run them through the washer on the gentle cycle. It usually - not always, but usually - works well for me.

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

I wash the "hand wash only" stuff on the delicate cycle and it's fine. (Wash it by itself, or only with other delicates, on cold, with a gentle detergent like Woolite or Dr. Bronner's, and hang it up to dry.) Rayon is the one thing that cannot be washed, though, no matter what the label says. Rayon-polyester blends are usually okay, but I've never washed a single rayon item that didn't shrink, no matter how careful I was with it.
