vw, you are an excelllent friend. I hope all goes peacefully for you and your firend today.

There's few things squickier than disembodied tongue prostheses.

I can think of one: tongue transplants. I'm sure it's a good thing for the people who need it, but reading about it grossed me out.

Thanks for all the good wishes. I just heard from J. We're going to try to go over around 1:30pm, as long as her lawyer doesn't tell her differently.

calming vibes and good luck to your friend, vw. I'm glad she has someone like you to be there for her.

Cashmere, how's your mom?

Talked to her this morning, Cindy. She sounded REALLY good. They got her up yesterday and she took a few steps. She had a shower this morning and is eating well. I think she will be going home by Saturday. At least I have my fingers crossed.

So erika was in my dreams last night, which was all her fault. If she hadn't told us about her friend on PBS I wouldn't have started wondering about cab acesses in SF. BTW, the documentary was interesting - and didn't try to paint Greg as perfect.

The shoes I wore yesterday turned some of my toenails and one of my toes black.

These things really shouldn't come up before coffee.

no they should not.

maybe I should go find coffee

That sounds like quite a speedy recovery, Cashmere. Glad to hear it.

Is that like a dye thing, Lee? Not, I mean, an injury, I hope.

It's a dye thing. Just kind of odd to look at your toes and see big black splotches, especially, as I mentioned, pre-coffee.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty great.Of course, I know him so part of the time I was like "The kids(the two I've seen, anyway) got so big!" and stuff like that. And there were rumors swirling around his leaving the Valley, but, son of a bitch, some of 'em were true, Damn!

It's a dye thing.

Oh, good. I thought you meant you got runner-style black toenails, and was shocked and afraid that mere shoes could do that within a day.
