Yet Another Lesson I Learned the Hard Way: Folks sending me packages from the U.S. should refrain from including food, especially unprocessed stuff like popcorn. Because if the sniffer dogs catch it, Customs will quarantine it for months before eventually throwing out the popcorn, and I'll get my remaining Christmas presents three months late. :(

Reminds me of the movie "PCU", where Droz (sp?) filled a friend's suitcase with dog biscuits when his friend was travelling to Jamaica.

I really like beef jerky and it's expensive in the UK. You can't import it into in the UK from USA due to the steroids they give the cattle. :(

Though I've just ordered some from a guy who imports it into the UK from Uruguay :)

The funny thing about the story is that the guy lives on one of the islands off Scotland in the Outer Hebrides. The population there must be max 100-300 and it's probably a 1-2 hour boat trip to the mainland. Oh well..... too far for a ferret to swim.

You should buy a food dehydrator and make your own! :)

This is where my weblog goes to die. Every post has a permanent home, so this is where you should link if you're so inclined.

"RunningBlog" refers to posts related to running that are cross-posted over at geekgirlrunner.

"Moblog" refers to posts and images posted directly from my mobile phone.

"PW Blog" refers to posts recovered from my very first weblog, which dealt with news related to my college dorm.
