You know the best part? She wrote back a couple of days later! She filled me in on how she learned about my family and asked to keep in touch :) My recent post With Heart Holiday Update

Apples and Porsches : #88 - Donate More to Charity

Mon, 28 Nov 2011 16:21:41 +0000

Cool! I always think it's good to have a plan for these sorts of things. I also pick a few charities that I believe in and give them something every year. Not necessarily during this season, but at some point throughout the year. I don't however give to religious organizations such as the Salvation Army. I know they help people, but they also force their religion onto the people in need and won't help LGBT or folks of other religions. What charities do you donate to, and why? I always love hearing people's stories :)

Apples and Porsches : #74 - Diversify My Spices

Mon, 7 Nov 2011 16:41:02 +0000

Hmm, I didn't see thyme in that list! It's a good one to have as well. I also would include cloves, they are wonderful in a lot of sweet dishes and can work in savoury too. I like them with cinnamon & nutmeg, and they go great with things like pineapple & ham. And chili powder for your chili! heheheh Kosher or sea salt plus freshly ground peppercorns are also good go-to's.

Ginger Won't Snap : Reader Question: Life with Slimband?

Wed, 26 Oct 2011 20:37:00 +0000

Yeah Kim, I hear ya. I haven't been super please with their aftercare either. It's been almost a year and I've only lost about 15lbs. I think I may finally be at my sweet spot, but there hasn't been any kind of rapid loss like I thought there would be. I'm pretty frustrated. Are you sure it's the band that is slipping and not your port that keeps flipping? That is the more common issue. Ask them to sew it in place this time! Mine shifted around a lot but it's settled down now -- at least the nurses can access it. There are definitely other bad stories out there. I heard them even at the official Slimband meetup in the summer. Lots of us aren't losing (they don't tell you this but the average loss is only 17lbs. Women like Nikki and the gals in the ads are the exceptional cases) and some have even needed to get their entire bands replaced more than once! I don't think there's a perfect solution though. Even if I got the band somewhere else it would probably be the same situation. Best of luck with yours, feel free to drop me a line anytime! My recent post Rock the Vote! Round 1

The Headologist : (Possibly) Losing My Fertility May or May Not Be the End of the World

Tue, 25 Oct 2011 14:46:05 +0000

Yay! I am so glad you've got it figured out now! Finally you can take some action, one way or another! I think the mystery of what was hurting you was the hardest. Also, Lino married you for YOU. Not for your baby-making skills. I can't see him deserting you because you're not fertile. That is ridiculous in this day and age. Have some faith in his love for you! You've both been through some really tough times together, and I think that speaks volumes as to how dedicated to you he is. Give him the benefit of the doubt. *hugs*

Ginger Won't Snap : The only thing that Rogers delivers consistently is bad service

Sun, 16 Oct 2011 17:44:34 +0000

No kidding. It's situations like this that make me glad that 1. I work for Airbnb who believe in actually being nice to customers and 2. Run my own company where I can be sure that people are treated right. I never did get a response from Rogers. Really makes me feel important, you know? My recent post Ever-changing Logos

Apples and Porsches : Whinging About Cheese

Wed, 5 Oct 2011 18:06:15 +0000

I don't know if I'm coming to the party yet, but you have a will of iron. I could never give up cheese. In fact I'm eating some right now. It's delicious. I don't know how you do it, but bravo!

Yeah, I go straight to them as well, but first you have to actually get to a human being on the line. I still don't have my internet service or modem that I'm paying for. This is BS.

Ginger Won't Snap : Building a Business: Lesson #2

Fri, 9 Sep 2011 16:47:55 +0000

I have, but a lot of them aren't savvy enough to manage something like that, and I also want control over what goes out. I want to make sure everything is up to my standards and maintains my branding when it goes out. My recent post Building a Business: Lesson #2

Ginger Won't Snap : Roadblock!

Thu, 11 Aug 2011 02:47:07 +0000

I considered a prepaid card, but it won't help to build any credit which is why I wanted the cc in the first place. For now I'm using one of my personal cards exclusively for business purchases, this way I can keep track and keep charges separate from my personal finances. Once the business is running for a few months and making profit, I'll try again! My recent post Apparently I was in the Herald Tribune, too

I'm incorporated, so it would certainly make things easier! I'm saving everything. I'm so paranoid about it. I guess it comes from being a PF blogger. My recent post Invasion of the House Gnomes

Ginger Won't Snap : Successful shopping for the store

Tue, 26 Jul 2011 20:21:46 +0000

This is true, but I've gotten so used to writing for an audience that it is weird not to be getting any feedback! I'm also writing about the biz to help any other entrepreneurs that may come along in the future. I wish I had someone telling me just what it was like to set one of these things up! If only my name were as cool as Headology! My recent post Successful shopping for the store

Apples and Porsches : A Piercing Predicament

Mon, 18 Jul 2011 23:29:26 +0000

How about just getting a new stud? Maybe try taking it out for a bit, let it heal and then reinsert with a different material? I think if it really starts hurting more you should see a doc though. You really don't want a tongue infection, they're nasty. On another note, I feel you about losing part of yourself. I've had my nose pierced for over 10 years now. I took it out for a while to see what it was like and it was... weird. I had gotten used to seeing the tiny flash of colour there for so many years. Without it I felt kind of plain even though I know I am not and never will be. There will be a time for it to come out, but maybe right now you can heal it or take a break, and go back to it after.
