Incisions? I missed something. Heal well, and no bug-transmission!
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Drew.
Kate, I'm sad you guys didn't move here! Maybe another opportunity will come up someday. I'm not sure I know what your husband's field is but there are plenty o' universities here!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Meep, Sparky! Um, good dog. And health~ma a-plenty.
I seem to remember being told about the Pyrex mixing bowls before, or it coming up in conversation with my mother because she uses hers all the time and (at the time of the discussion, anyway) they had not appreciated enough to make replacing them worthwhile. Decade or two back, I'd guess.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yeah, that's like my brother pointing out that the old Red Wing pottery crocks we use as garbage cans are actually worth like $500. Oops?
Oh, yes, I have a couple big crocks and bowls from the old farm that are worth some $, but I'm using them as garbage cans. Why not? Tossing paper into them isn't going to harm them, and someday when they're worth $$$, I may need that money!

I don't think my mom has anything that is secretly valuable. Not-so-secretly tacky, perhaps. Does 30 year old Tupperware count?
I feel like I was punched by a tiny fist, in my side. I suspect it may be my gallbladder?? It seems to be located around there. But it feels more like muscle pain or a bruise. Except it's not?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I am sorry, Drew.

My sisters and I once had a long conversation about the treasures from my mother's house we could take to the Antiques Roadshow. Like the retired flavor of Ben and Jerry's we'd find in the back of the freezer, or the lead x-mas tree tinsel that she'd reuse every year.

I just (in the last few months, that is) heard something about how lead tinsel is a hot commodity because some people really really like it and it isn't produced any more. Because of the poisonousness.
That's troubling, meara. A gallstone that has already passed can leave a bruised feeling, fwtw. Maybe you should see a doctor?

I probably should. But I don't have time for a couple more weeks. Unless it gets worse to the point that I have to hit an ER or something. Fingers crossed, there.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
We have some of TCG's grandmothers bowls and such that might be worth some money, but we still use them.
If I can't figure out the pump soon, ltc's breastmilk days may be numbered. She keeps biting me with that new tooth of hers.
