By galumphing through the house, I have achieved f*cking up my foot to the point of excruciating pain when I walk, so it is currently wrapped like a futha mucka. And still, pain. Also, if I flex it. You guessed it! Pain! GAAAAAAAAAAAA-AHGH.

My grandfather used to have an old beaten down car with heathed seats. But the goat living in it kept it quite short.  |

Going to print out a pattern from a site, and finding out that not only is the pattern limited to smaller sizes, there are no other free pants patterns on the site in multiple sizes, and the only other free pants pattern's website makes you pay a dollar to enter your measurements and they don't believe that a person can have less than six inches from waist to hip. *Pulls at hair and considers using one of her old, dead, pairs of jeans to draft a pattern from*

Slowly going deaf in one ear as it blocks up (getting this term's lurgy), staff dropping like flies and chasing my own tail doing cover work, kids getting all emotional and end of term-y. Gah!

I disn't know underseat heating had that quality about it. Then again, I'm at a loss to comment as I haven't passed nightsoil into my undergarments since I was a very small child. |

My Gahhh of today is having a relativly enjoyable RPG crash and burn because a player and the GM could no agree on a movement rule. Rather than leaving it as was for the rest of the session and disscussing it in down time it went into a full blow 'who's side are you on?' shouting match that ended with 2/3 of the group walking out.

More of an "Oh god, I'm boned!" than a Gah!:
For the last three years I've been eating the same brand of chicken for every meal. Every meal. Because I can't consumer starches or complex carbohydrates without becoming very very sick. Blood and fevered pain wracked days kind of sick.
Many raw chicken products are pre treated with a broth which can contain any number of ingrediant that will mess me up. The only other things I eat are carrots and greenbeans with a bit of honey.
I bought my usual bag of chicken thighs (I need the fat content otherwise I'd just get the breasts), Brought it home and prepared to fix them. The bag style is new, but it's the same brand of chicken, same label and everything. I start cooking and it smells completely differant. It smells a little like a salami or other processed meat.
I have no choice, as I'm out of my regular and the stores closed, If I don't eat I will get sick. I eat it and it tastes ... seasoned.
Now I'm waiting to figure out if this is something that's going to make me very very sick. What worries me even more is that this might mean I can no longer trust this brand, and I don't know any other brands I can trust. If I have to do the research and hunt down new brands I can afford I'm going to be starving myself half the time and getting sick the other half. I see weight loss in my future, weight I cannot afford to loose.

Would it possible to keep a few chickens.? Any (organic?) farms near by that do chickens? Can you just eat chicken? or can you eat turkey, game birds aswell? I hope I'm not being nosy.  |

Most farmers markets sell organic chicken, it is a little more expensive but hey. Keeping chickens is also VERY cheap (no pun intended) once you have set up a fox proof enclosure. Chickens to raise cost about £3, roosters and pure breeds a little more. You could even sell the eggs and feathers for money on the side to help pay for their food.

Would it possible to keep a few chickens.? Any (organic?) farms near by that do chickens? Can you just eat chicken? or can you eat turkey, game birds aswell? I hope I'm not being nosy. I rent the upper half (apartment) of a victorian, in a city with very strict ordinace concerning land usage. My concern with organic farmers and Co-op coops (*rim shot*) is the fact that they charge three times as much for the same foods. I'm currently out of work attempting to find either a job or get funding for further education toward a degree or certificate that with improve my job and earning prospects. Kepp in mind I will need to eat 3-4 chicken thighs a day, every day. at three dollars per thigh... I can't afford that. Right now I have moderate success with some turkey and fish, but again brands vary in weather they use broth or food startches or Natural flavors to 'enhance' their meat, even the raw meats. But I've only resorted to them on rare occassions because they do differant things to me digestively, and often I struggle with feeling hungry more often but being unable to eat (eating too much or too close together can make me sick). I'll have to call the manufacturer about any changes made to the product and I'll have to do some research in the next few weeks with comparatively priced brands and their 'unlisted ingrediants'. Once I have prospective replacements it just amounts to trying it once in a week where I eat nothing else that would upset me, and see if it sets me off (then an indeterminant recovery time if it does). I have actually considered an alternative that is a little... odd. See I need soft protiens that are not soaked in or flavored with additional substances. Farmed goods are often enhanced or processed in this country. So I can either farm my own (but then there are space and legal catches for thsi idea in most cases) or I can eat things not commonly consumed and thus not heavily in demand and treated for mass production. This brings me to something I've been wondering since six months after I first developed my symptoms. If I can't eat what everybody else eats, maybe I can eat things that everybody else won't eat. In short, bugs and worms. Oddly the prospect doesn't bother me, and I'm pretty sure that useing invertebrates fed on the veg scraps as protien that I can 'farm' myself in tubs in the kitchen or laundry room I could cut costs and assure a food supply that is controlled by me. I just don't know anything about eating 'bugs' and or farming them right now. But I'm thinking I should start now, even if I find viable long term commercially available conventional meats. I don't want to face this sort of sudden worry again. Most farmers markets sell organic chicken, it is a little more expensive but hey. Keeping chickens is also VERY cheap (no pun intended) once you have set up a fox proof enclosure. Chickens to raise cost about £3, roosters and pure breeds a little more. You could even sell the eggs and feathers for money on the side to help pay for their food.
Unfortunately the space and feed and time involved, let alone the cold cold winters would make it impracticle, maybe someday when I get my own land. as an artist (with a violent inability to digest eggs) the use of eggs in traditional paints and crafts, shells too, appeals to me. As do quills and fletching and other feather crafts. Heck I could raise squab, and chickens, and share some insects with them  surplus worms could be bait, and worm castins are good bussiness. |

I can count on one hand the times I've slept more than three hours a night for the past month and a half, and have fingers left over. I haven't slept since 7:30 yesterday morning. I'm still working on the school project that I started five hours ago, and is due in five - the one involving creating a list of questions for an exam, six for each of seven chapters, only one chapter of which we actually went over in class. I'm dead on my feet. I have, in the next week, two plays, two reviews, and one take-home exam due, plus exams in two other classes, as well as a speech. All I want to do is sleep.

Not being able to find ANYBODY who stocks Boswell pipe tobaccos in the UK.. really bloody irritating, as it means that I'm stuck with what I have for what seems to be quite a while.
Anybody have any ideas? I'm dying to try them out... after everything I've heard about them it's very annoying not being able to get hold of them...
