I'm not sure where to begin looking for this info, so I'm posting it here.  I'm leaving this unlocked, so feel free to send more knowledgeable people this way ( Read more... )

My dad just called with an emergency question: How many shots can you get out of a fifth of liquor ( Read more... )

Dad's plant is going to one shift in April, and they're cutting 2,000 jobs.  He's pretty sure he won't get cut, but he will take a buy-out if they offer them.  I know we'll get by no matter what happens, but it's still worrying, especially since our health insurance keeps changing.  And I feel bad for my dad having to deal with all of this.  :-(

I need a cuddly pet. I was sitting here reading my flist and Paris nudged my foot with her nose and laid down beside me. I scratched her on the head and got off the couch so I could give her some loving, because she rarely sits still long enough to be petted. As soon as my feet hit the ground she leaped up and ran to the door, probably thinking ( Read more... )

This place is going to drive me crazy. I hate doing chores right after waking up, but there are sixteen birds to take care of in the mornings and they're basically all my responsibility. I got up at around 8:30, put on some boots and a coat to let out the chickens, then crawled back into bed for an hour to read and try to warm up. I still need to ( Read more... )

Early post, because I'm going to be busy today and LJ is going to be down anyway.  There is talk about funerals ahead, so if you don't want to read this (I know several people on my flist are going through some tough times right now), skip it.

The OTT thread on funerals made me think about funerals and weddings, so that's what I feel like posting ( Read more... )

Ha ha, this is cute.  If I had a wall that I could hang things on, I'd definitely put it on my Christmas list.  Actually, I'd put half of the Signals catalog on there.  I'm a horrible Christmas shopper.  I try to look for things my family would want, and I'm always like "Ooh!  I want this and this and this..." and then I've forgotten who I was ( Read more... )

This is going to be a long thirty days. I'm already at a loss as to what to write about.

I have a question for you, flist. Could any of you point me towards some resources for asthmatics? My asthma has gotten progressively worse during the last year, and I don't really know what to do about it. When I was diagnosed (seven years ago), my doctor ( Read more... )

We’ve had the normal “might be a ghost, might not” experiences: crashing noises where nothing could be found out of place, creaks that sound like footsteps, shadowy things coming out of doorways in the dark (that might be my imagination, but oh my god, I am so terrified of dark doorways now), and weird electronic malfunctions (more on that later ( Read more... )
