Oh, hey, I forgot to report that I finally got rid of the old doghouse. A guy from Freecycle came and got it for his rescue dog. Aww. Happy doggie, and one less thing in my domain.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
l, on the other hand, feel like I've matched three dark reds pretty closely, for a very casual look anyway, since it's a T shirt (Supernatural), a broomstick skirt , and the same bag and shoes as everyday.
Braless is pretty unremarkable for me (can't speak for my public) once every couple of months, my hair regimen is centred around not combing, and the last time I wore makeup I was alone and it was for a photo.
I don't know if I'd go as far as a whole new vegetable for the soup Maybe I'll try unthickened first.
The Fall Fair at Sara's school is next Saturday, so I'm donating anything they'll take.
I'm so sorry about your grandmother, msbelle. Is she in the hospital?
OK, kuzu/kudzu (its sold as both) root starch specs here:
And comparison to other starches here:
You'll have to do the math yourself to see if it's worth it. :)
Also, I got a lead on a job which might be really interesting: doing environmental work in-house for a big solar company. Sounds cool, less stressful than consulting, and less ridiculous than federal work.
For homes, businesses or those great swaths of solar farms?
I'm sorry about your grandmother's fall, msbelle. Glad they finally got the pain under control.
I really like this mystical Pope.
Yes, she is in the hospital. Just spoke with my aunt. She has either a bladder or kidney infection, so they are dealing with that first before the ankle, now that they have the pain controlled. AUnt does not think I need to come down to relieve people since GG is resting now and everyone should be able to sleep at home tonight. I still offered because next week I am working and I do not want it all to fall on the daughters (aunt and my mom).
So I am just hanging at home- taking turns between fb games, house projects, and ebaying stuff. For those of you not on FB, I am on a mom strike, so I am only doing what I want, and no cleaning, or cooking for others. I am feeding the cats and dog, also medicining the one cat - because they should not suffer b/c mac is on a stubborn selfish trip.
ita ! Unflavored gelatine will definitely thicken. It has almost no flavor, so that should not be a problem. The texture may not be exactly what you want. And no, if you don't use too much it will not turn your soup into jello, just thicken. But more an aspic sort of thickness rather than a floury sort of thickness if you get the distinction.
Much ~ma for your grandmother, msbelle. Also kid ~ma for you.
A strike seems like a sensible idea, msbelle. Ma~ for your grandmother.
S. just made old-school popcorn (not microwaved!) for me. NOM.
