Well, if you really wanted to do it for them (not that I recommend that you should) I guess you could do something similar to what Kagus said. Only, buy the camper yourself. Then you can sell it on to repay a chunk of the money invested or hand it over to them when they have the money to pay for it.

To repeat - not that I think you should.

My left side is red on my head. My ear especially is very flushed. Good thing I'm seeing a doctor in the morning.

Are uh. Did you make it out alright?

As seen on the side of a Himalayan salt shaker thing:
Made in a factory which contains celery, mustard, sesame seeds, soya and sulphur dioxide.

How can someone be allergic to celery? What's the sulphur dioxide doing there?!

I... think one of my job agency persons, whom I deal with on a depressingly regular basis, may be confused as to my gender. ???
Now, I used to get mistaken for a female occasionally due to my hair, but that would only last until they heard my voice or got a good look at my face.
This person I speak to regularly and, on top of that, at least a summary of my personal details are presumably on their files.
I am confused. Maybe I just misinterpreted what she was saying. I don't know. Kinda something it's too awkward to correct at the time in case that wasn't what she meant, haha. It was probably just a strange choice of words on her part. *shrug*

Seems common enough.

Sulphur Dioxide is a preservative, and some people can have symptoms similar to asthma with it.

1: Celery spice is a thing? I wasn't aware celery HAD spice. Or anything other than water and fiber really.
2: Why is it specifically singling out France and Switzerland?

Excuse me sir but cajun cooking requires celery. It is very important.

Google decided to attack my phone calendar and automatically spam it with "important events" from GMail. Seeing as I've ordered plane tickets for later in the year, and the airliner has been shuffling the times around a little bit (and therefore sending me emails with the updated information), Google had a lot of material to work with.

Which really makes me wonder how they managed to assign the dates BACKWARDS. Apparently I will teleport directly to Warszawa, at which point I'll catch a plane to Norway for a short visit, returning a few hours later the next day. At the end of the week, I will then re-teleport back to Norway from Poland in order to take another flight from Norway to Warszawa.


Upon discovering these events, the Official Google Calendar app strolled up to show me what a good boy it's been, and that I should definitely install it so I can have more helpful things like this happen. Because... Apparently the calendar on my android phone somehow isn't the official Google Calendar? And it also managed to do these things without being installed?

It then said that I could turn off these automatic events in the settings for my Official Google Calendar app, which I can't do because supposedly I don't actually have the app.

I mean, I turned off the setting in the basic calendar app, so I'm just going to assume that that's the real deal and Google is being a fantastic search engine that can't even find its own goddamn products.


In other news, there are a few local eateries doing a super-special once-in-a-lifetime deal where they're serving a specific dish from their menu for only 100kr, about $12. Yeah, $12 is pretty damn cheap for a single portion meal, there are economy-oriented marketing campaigns dedicated to promoting foods you can make at home for yourself for less than 100kr. This country has some fucked-up food culture, I tell ya...

I've booked a table at one of the places, after finding out that they are in fact completely 100% booked for all times between 2:30 PM and 9 PM on a workday. Having never been there before (it's a relatively new locale), I decided to flip through their menu to see what the rest of their dishes look like, and what they're priced at.

...

...yeah, okay, so that's a steak dinner priced at a smooth $25 per 100g. That's definitely not as bad as it could be.

Or you could just get the duck for $40.

He said in another thread it was almost certainly benign palpitations, so not immediately dangerous, I think.

He was probably only mostly dead, then.

Don't worry he simply came down with a mild case of death. He'll be fine in a few days.
