Sheldon, you know Julie doesn't have guests.

She wants ice chips. For someone who is about to have throat surgery.
Here's what my father bought for me when I was six:

An ice cube crusher. Interesting little gadget. Crushes one cube at a
time. I had my tonsils out in 1966. All I could tolerate for a few
days was ice chips. We had a refrigerator with ice cube trays. Oh, and
there were four other people in the house, too. Somehow it all worked out.

Really? You would make a trip and pay the money for something that would
take.... maybe two minutes of n activity that isn't even really work?

How the heck does that work? Once water reaches 0 degrees C it turns
to ice, and ice is hard. Does this machine make something closer to
slush?

Not as much fun as watching a boa constrictor eat it's prey in a large aquarium! Always a big payoff with that tension!! A good shot of adrenaline!

Ice out of that machine is not as cold as ice from your freezer.

The ice isn't the same. I am trying to eat what I stored in the freezer.
It's too hard. The freshly made is wonderfully soft.

It's not slush. The ones that I put in the freezer did get hard. I think
it has to do with the shape of them because they are essentially hollow
inside. If you read the reviews, other people describe the ice as soft too.
I can't explain it. It just is.

I had my thyroid removed. It already happened. I was putting ice packs
externally but no longer need those. Now I just need to keep sucking on the
ice. Another person is about to have oral surgery and will need ice for
that.

Nope. There is just a very irritating person who lives here. Not me. For
that reason, most people do not want to come here. I can't blame them.

I did have a friend over when that person was out of town. But she lives in
another city and I had to drive her over her. My friends are all like me
when it comes to driving. They don't like to do it or go very far. I have
a new car now. So even though I hate to drive, I did offer to take her to
the Everett Winco on that day as I knew that she needed to save money. And
we stopped by here on the way back. She was finally able to see the house.
And now the new Winco is open and that is fairly close to her.

I used to throw a lot of parties. Almost every weekend. But I was younger
then, single and had an apartment that was good for such things. This house
isn't.

Nobody elses business what you do with your money or how much ice you use at
all.

Ice at 32 degrees F is pretty soft material. As the temperature of ice gets lower, it hardens up. OTOH, ice from a freezer tends to be too cold for certain applications like ice carving or making shave ice. Typically the ice will have to be "tempered" by leaving it out at room temperature until it reaches a temperature of about 19 degrees F. This would be the optimum temperature for making shave ice.

Ah! That could be why I always had trouble making the shaved ice. I had
the real Hawaiian Shaved Ice machine and the molds for making blocks. The
problem was... The key to using the machine was pressing very lightly on
the top to make it shave. Even then, it didn't always go on the first
attempt. I told everyone this but someone else who lives here has the habit
of forcing things to get them to work and that is what broke the machine.
Because of this, I won't get another. We do have a little toy type crank
one. It's rather worthless.

Yep, you've hit the nail on the head. I protect him because I
fear him.

Thanks Julie. I just had a thought - since you are using plain ice to
heal/soothe and husband will need ice soon too... ever consider
flavoring the water that you put into the machine? The possibilities
with that are endless.

I'm *NOT* telling you to do this but mentioning it in case you didn't
think of it.

Why are you replying to your abuser yet again?

Are you a masochist?

Get some psychological counseling, soon.

It's unhealthy to feed a man who stalks and abuses you publicly.

My fridge has no ice maker either... I'm the ice maker... I fill the
trays. The little compartment holds four trays, I use two trays a day
and rotate them as they're filled, no old smelly ice here... most who
have an ice maker never clean it of old ice so pretty soon all the ice
has that freezer stench.

We use ice trays too, but only because we don't use much, or perhaps I would
like at such an ice maker.

I've known women who had their thyroid 'killed' by swallowing an
irradiated iodine pill, no surgery, no pain, and no complications.. no
hospitalization either, done in the doctor's office, takes all of five
minutes... just no sex for a week.

Wait till he's asleep then hit his head with a heavy block of ice
then toss it in the sink and run the taps to destroy the murder weapon.

I did think of it but then dismissed it as I didn't want to gunk up the
unit. I don't know that it would do it but you do have to take it apart
from time to time to clean it. We did this all the time in NY with
lemonade. It was the diet kind but it was still slightly sticky which is
why I think it might not be so good. I have done it in my ice cube trays
and it eventually winds up ruining them. It leaves a bit of a coating that
will never scrub off.

Normally we don't use any ice at all. But I suspect that on hot days, we'll
be using a lot more of it.

And the thyroid isn't just killed. It is also removed. And I don't think
there is no pain. One of the women from the diabetes newsgroup had to have
this done due to thyroid cancer. It didn't sound fun at all. And she has
to have it done again at times. When it is done, not only are you isolated
but you are put on a very strict diet. No soy products. No seafood or
anything else with iodine in it. No eggs or dairy.

I don't know all of the specifics because I didn't need to have this done.
I mainly only looked into the dietary part so I would have some of those
foods should I need them.

Who would guess that one would have to warm up a block of ice or that shaving some ice would be so tricky? Certainly not I.

These days we have a lot of options on frozen treats. I'd go for a snow ice with tiny blocks of mochi, agar-agar, and balls of fruity fish egg-thingies. Oh boy! I'm hoping the idea of serving shave ice at plate lunch places and eating it as a dessert will be a new trend. It would be great eating shave ice at night.

I'm hoping the idea of serving shave ice at plate lunch places and eating it as a dessert will be a new trend. It would be great eating shave ice at night.

Yep. Not exactly the same thing but my cat Persia was treated using
radioactive isotope treatment for hyperthyroid. That was in 2010.

As luck would have it she was allergic to the thyroid medication. This
treatment was the only option. I had to take her to a clinic in Mount
Pleasant, SC (just outside of Charleston). Veterinary clinics have to
be specially licensed to handle radioactive isotopes.

She was kept isolated in a special chamber for 2 weeks. When I brought
her home I was told I would need to wear rubber gloves when dealing with
her litter box, which was to be completely emptied and washed every day
for the next two weeks. I was told to avoid touching her unless I was
wearing rubber gloves for that same time period.

Explain to a cat why she's not supposed to jump in your lap. Damn, I
misplaced my neoprine suit! LOL I ignored the don't pet her without
gloves instructions. The treatment saved her life. And I didn't wind
up glowing in the dark.

We BOTH know where she lives, you just suck the bait down more
gluttonously than most here...

Say, how much 'shrinkage' has the old food bank had since you began
sponging off them?
