Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.
Oh, ita, I'm so sorry. St. John's is probably closer than Cedars. We've always had good experiences at Cedars PICU but the transport there is a bear.
Maria, congratulations! Exuberance is definitely in order.
I have gone swimming twice today and my skin and hair are definitely feeling it. Any suggestions other than Ultra Swim on managing this?
Also, random question, how do voices change when we age? Is it a slakening of vocal cords?
Discussing potential dates for a possible commissioned holiday workshop, and find out that they want the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Um, going to out of town for travel to my parents?!?
Coworker gave me grief about not having my vacation dates on the work calendar yet. Oh so sorry that, with the lack of DoH, I haven't made any official plans for November and would like to do the polite thing and coordinate days off with new colleague.
OMG, le nubian, that was great. "No offense to you personally"
You guys, I can't stop pickling. Even though I have a store-bought jar of pickled jalapenos in the fridge already, I traded for more peppers at the CSA pickup tonight, so could PICKLE THEM.
Jesse,
don't you think the person who wrote that is around 21? Like I'm really hearing a 21-year-old say that shit. Maybe younger.
How do you pickle peppers? I am on a pickling frenzy, but have just done zuccini and beets. Is this regular green peppers, or do they have to be little peppers?
That shit is going to give me nightmares.
I have just started following Awkward Years Project on tumblr [link] which is oddly lovely.
Kat,
right? I don't even understand why you would do that shit.
Do Not Like bread people!
How do you pickle peppers?
These are jalapenos, and I just boiled a cup of water, a cup of vinegar, and a tablespoon of salt, and put a garlic clove in the jar as well. I would have done carrots, too, if I had had a bigger jar. I need more quart jars.
In good news, apparently there's an organization that has youths who have been trained to work with special needs populations, and I put in a request for counselors who can help me with my weekly group so as to give me one-on-one guidance with the volunteer group (and I can stop fielding the inappropriate comments about one girls fantasy sexual partner. She only has to gasp and I feel like I'm intruding on a personal moment).
