Thanks for the info, Hil.
And sorry you're in pain.
Wesley: Hey. Hey, Gunn. Is something weird going on? … Charles, you just peed on my shoes. Gunn: I'll be damned. That's weird.

Good thoughts and vibeyness for Burrell, and anyone in pain.
The weather is really boring here. I'm waiting for some spring sunshine. I'm just getting clouds and chilly wind. Come on sun - I want to do my reading out on a terrace.
Accidentally took a double dose of Lyrica last night. I just temporarily forgot I'd already taken it. Oops. I'm rather drowsy, but seem to be OK otherwise!
Can I not have a pain-free body for two days in a row?
I'm with you. My back is now being ridiculous, and painkillers at the dose I need would knock me out when I'm working to a deadline, so that's out. I'm wondering whether I can find a therapeutic massage somewehere around here (I usually have them at home in London - here I mostly stay on campus, so the town is a bit of a mystery to me). I should really look into it before I cant't move anymore...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Have you tried TENS, Seska? It's pretty much the only thing that I've found that helps and doesn't knock me out or make me feel sick.

Yeah. Never had any real effect from it, except it sometimes aggrevating my nerve pain. Annoying, as I hear it works for a lot of people. I'm using heat patches - they help.

Re: egg replacements
awesome suggestions! i've stumbled through a decade or so of egg-free baking with just 1/4 vegetable oil in place of each egg, but that does weird things to textures sometimes :( I've had some massive cupcake failures due to experimenting with diff veg oils.

If you want eggless cupcakes, there's a cookbook called Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World that has great recipes. A few different varieties of regular chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, and then a whole bunch of interesting flavors, like s'mores or pina colada. There's a pistachio rosewater cupcake recipe that I keep meaning to make, but it uses soy yogurt, and I always seem to have either pistachios or yogurt, but never both at the same time.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Shir, good luck, hope you get the sweet gig. Just woke up from fluffy, and hoping sleep will return again in bed. Sorry, no Skyping tonight.

I have found my book! Hurrah!
...of course, now my bank card appears to not be working.
