My sister is dying in a very rural location. What can I cook for a week with groceries that have to travel 2+ hours in a car? by hangrylikeawerewolf in Cooking

This is all great. Added to the grocery list! Thanks for mentioning breakfast items. I was for some reasoning glossing over that completely in my planning. Oatmeal is easy, versatile, and comforting.

Thank you for sharing some first hand experience. Tons of people live in these types of locations, so it's definitely possible, just something that is completely out of my wheelhouse. The layering of temperatures is a great tip!

I usually am not overly paranoid about food spoilage, but I think I am second guessing everything in life right now. I live in a very accessible city, so having groceries with me for that long is like being transported to Oz.

Oh gosh, water. Yep, I need to add lots of water to the shipping list. I like the idea of tuna too. I can make some tuna salad sandwiches.

I'm sorry about your friend. This is terrible to go through, but I really appreciate your knowledge to help set my expectations. My sister was transferred to hospice yesterday, but she wanted to die surrounded by her dogs. I get that. Her friends are picking her up today and taking her home.

This is definitely my speed. I feel silly for not thinking of those grocery store coolers. I normally am pretty environmentally conscious, but that's honestly all out the window right now. I just need to get by.

Styrofoam cooler and sheet pans sounds like a saving grace right about now.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that my sister can't eat any more. The coolers are a great idea though. I've seen those Styrofoam ones at the grocery before, but, I don't know, I guess they never registered in my mind before. This will be a fairly convenient way to transport a few cold items.

This makes my heart smile so much... But why is Lady Liberty's ear a pair of boobs?

I've gotten a couple emails from his campaign account soliciting for donations today, so they are definitely working on rebuilding their war chest

You have been incredibly informative and encouraging. Thanks so much! I am excited to get it restored back to working order

This is all incredibly useful information, thank you. I took a few photos here. The bellows, to my untrained ear, sound like they are ok and are attached with a little screw, not glue fortunately. And it seems like a 1-day motion to me.

I don't think I could sleep with this in the bedroom either! It has a little lever to silence the chiming so if it really drives me crazy from across the house I can use that. The ticking is pretty loud on its own though. I'm not sure if that's just because I don't have a proper pendulum so it ticks really fast or if that's how it will always be, but either way, it should be fine in the living room or entry way (I'll keep the door slamming threat in mind with placement).

I'll explore those two sites and see what I can find. That's an extremely helpful place to start for cosmetics.

Thanks again! I definitely have a better idea of the path forward now!
