Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Susan, I am glad his diagnosis is giving you some optimism. The rules are there are no rules.
Susan, it sounds like they have a good plan. Your dad and your whole family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
In a family update of my own, I just had dinner with the parents. Mom's interview went very well today. She's one of two finalists for the position, so it's looking very positive. Keep the ~ma coming. Hopefully she'll hear something by next week.
Oh, and also, I have the cutest dog in the world. My parents surprised me and got Toto groomed while I was gone last weekend. I'm just picking him up now, 'cause I was sick and other stuff, yada yada. He looks so adorable. I really had let him get scraggly, poor guy. The place did a really nice job with him, though. I'll have to take some pictures when we get home. He's even got a springish bandana. So cute!
One thing they don't tell you about living in mountainous areas: the danger of getting artillery barrages in your backyard.
A 105mm howitzer shell used to trigger avalanches missed the mountain. Well, didn't so much as miss the mountain as missed the part of the mountain they were aiming for.
Holy cow.
DEENA, I forgot to tell you that Nick called last night, about 5 minutes after you went to bed. His band hadn't started yet, so he couldn't make it.
Oh, thanks Perkins. I'm glad you got to talk to him, at least, and know he's not a figment of my imagination.
{{Susan}}} much ~ma for your dad, you and your family.
Note to self: don't move to Utah or other avalanche having states.
Pleased to report my shiny clean colon is, indeed, shiny and clean. No polyps or any other forms of nasties. Still, I'm on the 5-year program for them since colon cancer runs in the family. I figure I can deal with that. Still a little groggy from the sedatives. Suspect I will be going to bed very early tonight.
Susan, I'm sorry that it is indeed cancer that your father has, but it sounds like they've got a plan and that eveything is on schedule. I'll keep sending ~ma for him, though.
It sounds like you have good cause to be optimistic Susan. My sister had lung cancer many years ago. She had surgery and radiation. It might be 8 years now. Clean bill of health every checkup. She never smoked, but the doctor said that living her first 18 years with our smoking father was the same thing as smoking herself.
Aims, vw, Kristin, tiggy, and Karl have new tags. Welcome, MARCH.
Dave just got hired by Brian Wilson and by Audioslave to be part of both of the production and lighting design teams for the tours this summer.
Dude! That's so cool!!
~ma for your dad, Susan.
