"I ran away from a man eating chicken."
Either I have an aversion to KFC consumers, or there's something gone horribly wrong at the Tyson plant. Which is it? For the latter, you would have "man-eating chicken."
Similar construction to "granola containing hemp seeds," plus I have the weight of reasonable expectations on my side.

Or you could say, "I saw a chicken eating a man so i ran away" .
if you took the time to compose your sentences carefully in the first instance, you wouldn't need to rely on hyphens to bail you out on your ambiguous phrasing, and we would not need to know your personal hyphen practices to understand what you are saying.

I want to put the shade cloth awning back up. Trying to find a way to re attach the corner that had to be taken down when I removed the big ass pole.
Want to just attach it to the corner of the guest house. What says TuT? |
Duct tape.
Baling twine.
Arc welder.
JB Weld.
Not necessarily in that order.
You're welcome.

YUP... and you might find just the piece of scrap you need at the metal recycler's. You could also use a little bigger tube for your ground insert and sleeve it. Weld or bolt the two together.

In Iowa their isn't much choice. If I was in Ames, Iowa City, or Des Moines I'd have more options. As is I order in allot from Amazon grocery. For most stuff I've gone back to simple foods like plain corn, peas, beans, etc.. For Hy-Vee I have to go the the ones in larger towns with well stocked Health Market sections. My local one is pathetic even for non special foods. They don't even carry soy milk. A typical grocery run is tacked onto a trip Ames or Des Moines.

Wait, wasn't she in some office shot? It's all coming back to me now. . . . Right side of the pic, face someone obscured, longish hair, wearing glasses? Am I just fantasizing the lab coat?
