To fry or not to fry (the turkey, that is) –THAT is the question.
As an update to my post from yesterday, I was able to cancel my Netfirms account—- quickly and painlessly — but only after moving my remaining site from their servers, of course. I had already paid for my next billing cycle which was supposed to start on the 17th, so the rep issued me a credit. True to her word, it was right there when I checked my credit card account activity.
I’m grateful for that, at least. Too bad their sales/tech support/customer service reps aren’t nearly as accessible or helpful as their billing reps.
In other news, I’m still sick. I don’t have a fever or anything, but I can hardly talk. My throat is all sore from coughing, and my voice is pretty much gone, and if I’m not whispering, it’s difficult to understand anything I’m saying. Hopefully this clears up by later this week 
Oh, I was watching Paula Deen’s Paula’s Home Cooking yesterday evening while littleQ lay curled up next to me on the couch, napping. Everything Paula cooks looks like it tastes like pure, unadulterated comestible heaven. Heaven’s where you’ll end up though if you recreate and eat too many of her recipes because Ms. Deen sure as hell doesn’t create her artery-clogging flavor sensations with Weight Watchers, South Beach or Atkins in mind. Anyway, the episode I watched was a Thanksgiving episode from a few years ago, and she went through how to fry a turkey. I feel fatter (and oily) just thinking about it, but oh my freaking gosh what I would do to eat some fried turkey after watching that episode. My mouth has literally begun to water at the thought of it. I would so cook that this Thanksgiving, but then I’d have to buy one of those big ol’ turkey fryers that must be set up in the backyard. Do I really need a turkey fryer? This is a pretty difficult decision, let me tell you.

I had fried Turkey for Thanksgiving once and that’s only because we were invited over to our friend’s house where they would be frying their Turkey.
It was the best tasting Turkey I had ever tasted let me tell you! It didn’t take long and it was the juiciest bird ever.
If you can do it and it doesn’t put you out - go for it!

Dean Sims, 26, was left unable to use the toilet after undergoing an operation at Woolwich Hospital to remove an abscess from his left buttock. The former factory worker returned home and was amazed to find his buttocks had been taped together with surgical tape. Sims immediately phoned the hospital, only to be told he’d have to wait until the next day to have the bandage removed by a nurse. “I’ve got to let them it - I don’t want to get infected,” he added. “Gangrene could set in.” His mum, Rita, said, “He’s in agony and getting cramps — he wants to go to the loo badly but can’t.” A hospital spokesman said the bandaging was a mistake. Sims is demanding an apology. NEWS SHOPPER (UK)
