Eat local raw honey. Seattle is blessed with an abundance of farmers' markets and organic food vendors so it's pretty easy to find. Find one that comes from as close to where you live as possible, and try to eat at least a spoonful a day (mix with oatmeal, add to tea, eat it straight, whatever). It may not cure all your allergy reactions, but you'll probably be able to cut down on your meds. And the benefits increase over time, so if you start now, next year's allergies should be much less.

By "primary source" do you mean a first hand account? As in people recording their conversations and experiences with Jesus and his friends?

No, it isn't.

Even the earliest books were written well after Jesus's death, like you mention. And throughout the history even those books have been translated, reinterpreted, and rerecorded differently for different purposes and audiences.

In other words, think of the bible as a guidebook for a religion, not as a first hand account of history.

If you're a reality tv fan, this is the recipe used by the Duggar family on 18 Kids and Counting. Apparently, their version is the best (and seems the easiest). This is enough for about half their brood though, so cut in half, or more.

I don't do this as much as when I was a kid, but I love pickle popsicles, made by freezing pickle juice. :)

My bff that's 5'0" exactly and SUPER curvy loves GAP kids for basics like tanks, tees, and sweaters. Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters both have tops and jackets that are short-friendly (and flattering) sizes. If that's not your style, maybe check out Juniors sections at dept stores because you never know.

GAP/Old Navy/Banana Republic also carry tons of various sizes on their website that their stores don't have. If you're looking for super extreme sizing, online specialty stores might be your best bet.

Good luck!

"Oriental" isn't not correct in reference to people because "the Orient" isn't a place. You can still refer to objects as Oriental because it refers to a style or particular aesthetic (so, an oriental rug is ok). The non-European part of the world used to be known as The Orient and full of, well, Oriental people. We know that isn't the case anymore.

I know this only addresses one part of your question, but hope it helps.

It sounds like she doesn't want to be found.

I moved from Louisiana a few years ago, and every year friends and family back home ship one to me. I've never bought one in Seattle, since the prices for shipping are pretty reasonable (and nothing beats the real thing, right?):
