I can tell you that I do own a coat which is similar to the last link (the "Suzanne") and even at my fattest it was fairly flattering.

So how about a teardown? Are there any falling down homes left there or in a neighboring town? Abandoned anything you could get creative with? That's exactly what I'm looking for. Not a teardown but something that needs a ton of work. In my town, even the really dismal houses are super expensive- t...

I do agree with others that J. Crew does have a slightly euro bent if you like any of the coats they offer. I also think Madewell does too. Both are in any US shopping mall. I don't know your style or I could maybe suggest something else. For super easy packing, the North Face Thermoball parka https...

If you are in Lausanne right now, you ought to be in bed! ;-) But I think the best bet is to buy something there. It will be 10x the quality and style of what you can get here, even if you buy it at a less expensive Swiss store (if there is such a thing). COS has some beautiful clothes, reasonably p...

Wait- *where* in Switzerland are you going to be based? Unless you're up some mountain, it's not all that cold there. The average daily low in Lausanne is 37°, which any Bostonian can tell you is t-shirt weather. :mrgreen: Geneva is about the same temp. I wouldn't worry about the weather. I *would* ...

Wicky came through! I had a very productive conversation with a very competent lawyer this afternoon. I feel better now. Thank you!! And the answer is yes, the town would pay for me to move my house to another lot. That being said, there are actually no lots in my town available. It is a very, very,...

The peer reviewed website is likely Martindale, which has been helpful so far. I'm getting closer. Thanks.

Wicky has reached out. Very kind of her. It's a fairly small area so not a ton of people interact with lawyers who specialize in it. Martindale did confirm that the big office downtown does have expertise in it. I'm frightened that I can't afford them. I am not litigating so there is no big payout. ...

Buy it there. More stylish. Def. more expensive, but how often do you get a chance to buy something snazzy like that?

My ideal house would be something affordable so I could do another remodel and have it be what I want but I don't know if that's realistic since fixer-uppers and town houses in this neighborhood are now going for $1.2 million and up. There are downsides to having the smallest house in the neighborho...

I live next to a school which has told me that they do not nee me to move, but I will no longer like living where I live. They have offered to buy my property and have given me some paperwork to look through, and it is all based on eminent domain laws in Massachusetts. Some of the information is fai...

He has an asthma attack. It's just weird that Russets do it more than the thin skinned ones. I used to make potato soup all the time. Not any more...

Not to mention eggplant.

Interestingly, my husband, who reacts to most nightshades and reacts to Russet Potatoes, has little to no reaction with waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Bliss.

I love this thread.

Uh, Wicky? If you feel the need to buy someone a plane ticket in exchange for some advice on, well, anything that suits your fancy- I'm not picky, I could be your girl. Just sayin'.

I love this sort of crazy. Good luck.

I'd change the subject of this thread to include "Lusitanos". Maybe wicky will chime in. She has two!

Did you mean spiced pumpkin bars? I have that cookbook (you made me pull it out ;) ) and that's the only pumpkin bar listed. Yes, I meant those. But upthread I also mentioned that I cannot for the life of me follow a recipe as written, so mine have a simple icing and raisins added. I also double th...

Be careful vacuum packing down. Somethings you can completely suck the heck. And it's way fun. Feathers ... No. Reduce to half volume only. I should have added that I only used the compression bag that you roll to get the air out, not the vacuum one. I work in the outdoor industry, with premium dow...

I love reading recipes, but actually following them? Not so much. This gets fun when baking, but I've figured out the ratios long ago. I don't make the most elegant food in the world, but I will say, all this meddling has given me skills in getting out of tight spots cooking-wise. So much so that my...

Bring the waterproof coat. Dressy is not as important as waterproof at this time of year.

I don't think anyone would disagree with you on that one.

I only mention the vacuum bag because that's how I brought my winter coat for Christmas in London a couple of years ago. Everyone told me to prepare for really raw, cold weather, and my 3/4 waterproof down coat is perfect for that, but it is bulky. Left on its own it would take up the entire suitcas...

I'm so sorry.

I don't think we're talking about going 105 in a 35 zone here. At least in my case, I was going 40 in a 35 zone. I think if you're the cop, it makes a huge difference if you're a few miles above the speed limit due to distraction (e.g. not noticing the speed limit had lowered, as it does in the city...

What Paula said. Pack for a week & do laundry. Throw in one dressier separates outfit so you can mix and match, and you're good to go. Get a down jacket and pack it in one of those vacuum bags to take up less room- you'll need a winter coat. It helps if it's waterproof, too. Philadelphia isn't M...

When you have a kid on the psych ward, nobody is nice to you. That officer's "discretion" was a kindness I will remember always.

Forget that English Lit degree. You're bad at that kind of stuff. Go to med school. You love the subject matter and you're good at it. And, buy a horse.

I had that happen once. Ultimately I fled in the night and vowed never to repeat the experience. It either sits right with my gut, or I disappear. It took YEARS to get over what that woman did to me. It was partially my fault for letting it happen but it was also her fault for, you know, existing. I...

M&M, I'd give you the recipe for Iced Pumpkin Bars but they're from the Moosewood Dessert Cookbook and I would be drawn and quartered if I posted copyrighted material.

Have a discussion with the US Govt. The reason you can't get a hi res image is because the data feeds are deliberately fuzzed out a little bit for security reasons.

You don't *need* buttermilk but you do need some sort of acidy milk like soured milk or thinned yogurt. Otherwise it doesn't react properly with the baking soda and you get rocks instead of bread. It's just real buttermilk (and I have to say real because the stuff you buy in the Hood carton isn't ac...

This happened to me 2 years ago. I was heading to the hospital to have a meeting about my son and I was late. I was going over the speed limit and I was pulled over. I apologized and promptly burst into tears- it was just the final straw to tip me over the edge. I totally deserved a ticket but the o...

I vote for fewer forums. Even the Menagerie forum takes away from the higher number of views in the OL. If you want more discussion, just keep it in the OL. Once in its own forum, the attention it will get is diminished. After all- when you posted your pit bull pictures, you put it in the OL for mor...

Scruffy the cat. Like I was there. Still the same. Still named after a Boston band from the '80s, not for any overfondness for cats. I mean, they're fine, but... Anyway, I bought a horse in April. Epona Farm here on the board bred him so it's really nice to be able to see baby pictures and connect w...
