Are they using penguin distribution network or are they owned by the same people?  

Sensitivity and allergy both have too many meanings, even within the medical community.  

It helped me to learn about IgG, IgA, IgM....immune response.  This seems the best way to think about it we have at this snapshot in history.

Sometimes the body encounters a threat so great, it turns off all the stupid nonessential stuff like brains, lungs, etc.  Saves our lives when falling through the ice into the river, not so great when it's just peanuts.  Other times, the body knows something is a threat, but not so urgent.  For this, it uses a different immune response like for an injury.  Change thickness of blood to wash or clot wound, send army of inflammation dodads to fight off primary infection, put autonomic fight or flight system on red alert in case we need to send the body into full shock... great for wounds, not so fun for irritating bowels.  And sometimes the body can treat foods as a low grade threat or can engage full on projectile expulsion to make the toxin get out as quickly as possible.  These types can sometimes be measured in the blood with the IgG, IgA... thingies.

The body is really nifty that way.  It has about a thousand ways to respond to threats (or perceived ones) and we only know how a handfull of these work.

Living in an earthquake zone, cupboard doors are lovely.  Even a small one like 4.something, can move dishes and just having the doors seems to stop them falling out. Everything fragile is always at least an inch away from the edge, but shelves are slippery.

That said, we are moving most of our fragile stuff to drawes when we can and am considering magnets or something more to reduce the chance of the doors opening for smaller earthquake. Shelf liner has also been considered but we haven't found any we like yet.  

We also thought about more drastic options like in a camper van, but if the earthquake is that big, dishes will be the least of our issues.  So minor things like cupboard doors do quite a lot of good.


Closet doors on the other hand, I'm still undecided.

Here is a small example of what I mean by repairing ai errors.

I'm just grateful it's not my room.  I'm just showing how to do the pre painting work.  Although concertina doors sound ideal for her situation.   Just look at the door closet relationship.   Nightmare.

My room comes later.  Still on the fence if I want to go door or alchove.  

This is the closest that started it all (before we started fixing inside).  It's got the fake wall in front, but is basically a 3 foot wide room for clothes that goes full length and height.

It's pretty standard here for houses built or renovated late 1960s to late 1990s.  Fill that with clothes, books, etc, and it's amazing insulation.

Since about a third of it is for clothes, one idea was to get a wardrobe and move the long term storage back into the basement.  But it turns out, because stuff, removing the wall in front of the closet isn't an option.  So she's back to doors or no doors.

How did it go?

My first instinct is if there are lots of urban stuff going on, and the property has access to running water and a lockable shed, rental allotment gardens would be a possibility.

Some cities give property tax breaks and have extra funding for fencing and administration. But it depends on where you live.

I've seen one city even do the administration for the allotments and pay the water bill and property tax, if there is a quarter acre or more and the owner leases to the city for one dollar a year for 10 years or more for a allotments.

At the top, at least on dekstop view, is a circle with hatching that looks pie-ish.
