When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Dylan, so young and so cruel.

If you wanted to balance your scale, on one side you could put how much a toddler cares about your feelings, and maybe a butterfly wing on the other.

You left it, sara (I called your cell and left a message). So don't mail it is what you're saying?

I think Your Toddler May Vary because Noah gets upset when we are upset pretty often. He hates being told he's hurt one of our feelings.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Mac is only now starting to care if he upsets me. His emotional age for our relationship is that of a 3 year old, so pretty in line with the toddlers.
This morning ANOTHER friend called for a playdate. He is voluntarily doing the last bit of homework so he can go in 2 hours. It's a Sunday miracle.
ION - feel like warmed over ass. My fibro is acting up, hasn't for a long while, but still ugh.

Good News - my headache preventative meds work great.
Bad News - the doctor approved experiment this weekend to see if I could decrease the meds failed.
Result - Headache from hell.

Yeah, no. The inner container is in the process of detatching, so... Haven't even turned on my cell yet. Huh.
OK, gotta start raking leaves. Managed 50 laps without stopping! A week off didn't kill me.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Why would this lefty restaurant I'm at not server real ham? Are pigs treated worse than turkeys? Maybe free-range turkey is available but free range ham not?
I'm pretty sure that pig farms are worse for the environment than most other kinds of industrial agriculture, because pigs produce a lot more waste than most other farmed animals. I'm not positive about that one, though; I just remember that most of the articles I've read about the environmental impact of animal agriculture have focused on pigs.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Basically, what Hil said. Free-range pork exists (and is deeply awesome, if you eat pork), but it's much less common than free-range poultry. And industrial-scale hog farming is absolutely horrible both in environmental terms and in terms of animal treatment. (Google "hog lagoon". Prepare to gag. Or drive through eastern NC. Gag whether you've prepared yourself for it or not.)
The other factor for a lefty restaurant, depending on the flavor of lefty, is that they may object to the curing chemicals used for readily available cured meats: again, like free-range pork, there are certainly hams that are cured and smoked without a lot of extra preservative action, but it's not the default and the restaurants that serve them tend to brag pretty prominently about "all our cured meats are made for us in our very own smokehouse by $NameOfArtisanDude using pork from $TinyOrganicFarm". If you like pork, cling tightly to such restaurants when you find them. Nom.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That all makes sense. Too bad pigs make the perfect breakfast food, huh?
