[...] toggles switches and jiggles parts, and all I can do is bring the snacks.I hate being helpless. I’ve told the story here of when, at the ripe old age of eight months, I snatched the clothes out of my mother’s hands [...]

Lesley — Thanks for the heads-up on an excellent site. A lot of what I do is pretty ishy, so it hits home. And thanks for visiting all the way from Wales!

I regularly visit a website called “Self Sufficientish”. They call themselves “Ishers” because they recognise that, in this day and age, it’s almost impossible to be completely self sufficient, but there’s almost always something you can do towards that goal, even if you live in a flat.
I’m enjoying reading about somewhere quite different from the Welsh Borders, by the way.

Darren — Nice play on food chain. Wish I’d thought of that. It’s going on my short list.

What about “shortening the food chain” or “yanking the food chain”? Or even “unchaining our food”?

Tamar – Sewing et al is not part of your ethos. I see waders and a seashell bra (upcycled from a good meal of course), perhaps chicken feathers in your hair…

Susan — Although I like the RYO spirit, I can’t use the phrase. I’d only be disappointing every Googling pothead on the planet.

Jen — I’ll work on the suit. Do I have to spin, knit, and sew it myself?

Amanda — Come on, this is way better than Facebook.

Sara — Posh Pilgrim! Nice! (Although, if you saw my house and how not posh it is …) And thanks for the kind words.

For the time being, I’m sticking with what I’ve got. But I’ll be thinking about a new tagline …

Yay! I was hoping you were going to keep….rolling your own in 2010. I like that one the best so far. I’ve loved following along, learning, chuckling, oohing and ahhing. Looking forward to more. And you guys, she’s totally an action hero—-Tamar: Posh Pilgrim
