Pistachio, we combined the functionality of a couple of thread types a long time ago since the same people were participating in both thread series. One isn't obligated to gain weight in order to declutter!

Penny, when you mention it I remember hearing something about liver flukes. One of those badies in the water supply. When I was first a mountain climber we used to fill our bottles in any stream we came to. Now you wouldn't do that because of giardia (more about it).

I have to shift to getting to bed earlier and getting up earlier; getting to campus with the traffic after 8am is tough, so it might serve me well to get here at 7am. Awfully early, but it would make my day smoother.

Tonight I'm going to have to mow the lawn; I had hoped to start work on the chandelier, but with all of our rain I can't mow just once a week. Saturday it was mowed and it needs it again on Tuesday. Oy. When the grass gets very tall the house looks like no one in home and I don't want another break-in because the house looks like I'm out of town.
