this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Steph, have you tried the TJs pumpkin poptarts yet? Noah loves them.

I saw them and would love to try them, but I can't eat them b/c of stupid gluten. But maybe I can get them for Tim and try one bite...

I have a pumpkin product recommendation: The Ace pumpkin cider at TJs. It's even gluten free. It's like they have Steph in mind or something.

Oooh, I was just there yesterday and didn't look at the alcohol section. Damn it! I had their pumpkin pecan oatmeal for breakfast today (good, if a little too sweet), and their pumpkin ice cream after dinner (Sweet Jesus that's amazing shit).

ION, OMG MY ALLERGIES. Eyes won't stop watering and itching, and I would like Wolverine to claw out my nasal passages. This is with three weeks of daily allergy med taking..

My sinuses don't *hurt,* per se, but they're so perpetually inflamed that all my upper teeth hurt. It's pissing me off. I need to use the neti pot and see if that helps.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am in the OMG ALLERGIES boat, and it sucks. My sinuses are tingling.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

-t, it tastes mostly like cider, but with a pumpkin taste and just a bit of spice. Not too sweet.

Hil if you could find him, that would be great - only if you feel like it. But given how little info I have and how unreliable it was, it will surprise me if you can. At any rate, thanks very much for taking the shot.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Ah, ragweed season in KC. I really don't miss that.

I think I might have found something, under Welwel Lipowitz. Born about 1884, immigrated 1905, manifest lists his hometown as what looks like "Czaus," which I'm pretty sure must be Chavusi, Belarus. [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

As far as the Grey's kids go, I always kind of liked the one from FNL, and now it's love. I'm so fucking compelled. And the one that got to sleep with pretty boy is coming into her own, so great. Otherwise...enh.

And I think you mentioned Gerson being a family name? The JewishGen.org databases have a few records of a Gershon Lipowich living in that town.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm liking all those kids, actually, it's the wee offspring and custody thereof I could get too much of.

Thanks, Burrell, that sounds tasty. Might need to go on my Thanksgiving menu (which is leaning towards sweet potato pancakes and turkey sausage right now, pumpkin cider might round it out nicely...)

Hil, if this pans out, it is amazing.

I flipped the futon tonight (bending it back against where it was folder before) and now I think I have to stay on it until it quits popping off. Though the bungie cords seem to be helping.

I suddenly want new shelving unit/tv/to rearrange my living room. And with xmas approaching, pfeh.

But I will figure out the feet of shelving that is a requirement.
