So, my mom went in for her surgery (which I'm guessing was a biopsy -- they took out the lymph gland which caused the question), and things are looking unlikely to be cancerous, although she won't know until next week. I really think she she likes bemusing hospital staff, though -- she asked for local anesthesia again, which made them go, "Really? Well... I guess... I don't see why not." Also, they told her to wear comfortable clothes; she wasn't sure which comfortable clothes to wear, and eventually decided on a sarong. She highly recommends them for post-surgical wear, as they don't require too much movement to get on. Love my mom.

YAY vw! I knew you would pull it through. Now I have the inspiration to get my work done tonight.

I have not heard anything from the hospital on mom. They took her down to surgery around 2pm, and it was supposed to be about an hour procedure. Not sure how long they would keep her in recovery....and I'm trying not to clock watch. BUT I would have thought I'd have heard something by now.

I could teach you stuff, too!

I'll keep that in mind for next April. Start plotting for me.

Also... who buys this stuff? And where do they wear it?

...and why don't they invite me?

Maybe Sail likes how my version of a practical joke ends in a free lunch. That's my favorite part.

Have read, but have nothing to say--skipped both a coworker's birthday drinks, and drag king meeting, this evening, just didn't have the energy. Fear another sore throat is coming on. NOOOooooo!

Didn't meara, but must give big hugs to -t. Life has been very mean to you and I wish you all the -ma I can.

Ashley was now wearing only brief white panties. She had signaled her desire by removing her shirt and skirt, and by leaning back on the couch. She closed her eyes, concentrating on nothing but Shannon’s tongue and lips. He

Y'know, until I got to that "he", I thought this was a lesbian sex scene. And then I went "Shannon and Ashley? Which the hell one of these is the boy? Are they both boys? WTF?"

Okay this costume unnerves me, because it looks pretty close to my everyday wardrobe. I may have to go look at one in a store and check out the fabric quality.

True, and my favorite part also. My practical jokes usually end in people spitting out tabasco and/or salt water or booking tickets to Vegas for my fake wedding.

Gots my fingers crossed and will continue sending ~ma and good thoughts.

And unlikely-to-be-cancerous ~ma for Emily's mom.

Was is Cashmere who was worried about naming her kids with the same beginning letter?

Arkansas Mother Gives Birth to 16th Child: ...Their children include two sets of twins, and each child has a name beginning with the letter "J": Joshua, 17; John David, 15; Janna, 15; Jill, 14; Jessa, 12; Jinger, 11; Joseph, 10; Josiah, 9; Joy-Anna, 8; Jeremiah, 6; Jedidiah, 6; Jason, 5; James, 4; Justin, 2; and Jackson Levi, 1.

Ack! Sparky! I read that story and didn't get any further than, "woman has 16th child" before I was ill. I never imagined she'd alliterate 16 names!!!!
