she takes the drug people take so they won't reject a new organ (Immuron? not sure how it's spelled).

Dang. It's amazing to me, the way meds can help various conditions that you wouldn't automatically think they could do. (And I get so angry at people who post stuff on FB about "Big Pharma" and drugs being a scam and unnecessary, etc., usually accompanied by a self-righteous screed about how "food is the best medicine," blah blah blah. OH MY GOD STOP.) (I mean, yes, avoiding/preventing medical conditions is ideal, but that doesn't always work, because that's not how bodies work.) (Raaaaage.)

And of course, I apparently take a phantom dose of dilaudid. NO one takes 6mg at once, and UCLA is no longer pushing 50MG of Benadryl--they run it over 20 minutes, instead of the 5m (max) push I get at home.

I'm the IV med fairy.

I find it hard to tell if oral medications have had an impact unless I start bumping into things. I'm not always not still in pain at that point.

I have decided sorbet today. Tea sorbet--the youthberry is too sweet/strong for me to drink straight, but I think this Teavana offering might be perfect sorbet. Batches cooling.

Ojibwe loom: [link] I haven't used one in forever, and it's what I think of when you mention Ravelry. I suddenly want to weave SPN symbols.

One of these projects already has sunk costs, and involves no travel. We'll see how it goes. I'm almost entirely art blocked anyway.

Mmm, tea sorbet sounds great.

I know that there are weavers on Rav. Also spinners. You can now stash fiber and indicate if yarn you're stashing is homespun.

Oh, I covet that loom. But I think I better put off getting new pieces of equipment for now.

On my way to work, I was listening to the Fresh Air interview with Bobby Womack, which has many great gems

It does, right? I've been catching up on my podcasts and listened to this one this morning on the way to work. What a great storyteller. I loved the part where his daddy wanted a Buick when Bobby "made it."

tea sorbet sounds delicious! ita, have you tried Scoops ice cream? It's not far from you, and they interesting ice cream/sorbet flavors. yum!

Speaking of yum, I found a chocolate chip cookie recipe that I want to try that may be of interest to others here. It's vegan and gluten-free. And it looks yummy. (But maybe less temptingly yummy than the chocolate chip cookie pie recipe that I also want to try.)

So, according to Gizmodo, this ebay seller is actually Apple selling off refurbished iPhones. [link]

Would anyone let me ship an iPhone to them and then they can send it to me to try to avoid the inevitable killer customs and brokers fees that UPS will charge?

The last time I looked at my college transcript, there were classes I had literally no memory of. I mean, to the point that if someone asked me if I had ever studied X, I would have said no.

Ditto. I was sure that History of Philosophy class on The Rationalists on mine was an error until I remember the sweater vests the prof used to wear.

In the same way that "cleave" can mean cut in two, or joined together.

"Draw the curtains" is the one that always gets me.

Timelies all!

Got an email claiming to be from Apple telling me my account was frozen until I verified my information. Seriously? Do they think I got online yesterday? They could have at least tried to spoof the address they sent it from...

"Draw the curtains" is the one that always gets me.

Amelia Bedelia! Possibly the only place I've actually encountered that phrase.
