I might not put an age range on it, Gar. I might just announce what the entertainment is, and let parents decide if their kids are old enough/too old.

Very early planning stages fundraiser for our Health Care for All committee. The idea is to have a children's event both as a fundraiser and to appeal to families who we normally would not reach (people who agree with us but are way too busy for meetings cause they have kids to worry about).

So fund raising-wise, is this the ticket item? I mean are you intending to attract people to the fund-raiser by making the stuffed animal trainer, the clamshell marching band, and the marionette show the main attractions? Or, is there something else, and this is entertainment for the kids, to keep them busy during the fund raiser?

And you're just happy she didn't name them Sandy and Danny?

If your kids rebel against being Rizzo and Kenickie, does that mean they turn into Sandy and Danny?

No this is the main attraction. We are specifically trying to get people with kids - which means we will make less money. But as long as we get something the new contacts are important. Our local community has lots of kids and very few kid oriented events.

Week early, bad cramps, insane-o, have been sleeping badly ANYWAY... so I've treated myself to the good drugs.

Dooooooode

I am not asleep and watching Mile High. I think I'm about to be not asleep and watching Eureeka.

I need to be asleep and not watching anything.

I can't believe I clicked Trudy's link. Ack. Bleach!

Much more importantly, I'm so sorry about Joe's job, Aimee. It totally sucks, ack, more bleach is so horrible. Seriously, tons and tons of ~ma to you.

I have no words.

Well, okay, no, I have a shitload of words, none of them complimentary. Unspeakable behaviour.

Here's hoping that the universe sends you something better, and pretty damn sharpish.

As usual, Fay said it much better. What Fay said.

Also, Cass, I'm glad you have a handy doctor and good drugs. I hope that by the time you read this you are much improved and able to speak in your normal, lovely voice.

Thanks, lib.

I have been sleeping like Hobbits eat. First wake has been rough with much ouching, coughing and no talking. Second wake is better, likely because the drugs will have been ingested more recently, and I just croak. Third wake is lovely and I keep thinking that I am finally all better. But then fourth wake and its related coughing and squeaky talking remind me that I should take it easy. Then I go to bed for the night. The cats are looking at me as if I should be an honorary member of their species what with the napping all day.

I am making tea right now before going back to bed. Again.

So, yes, I am very much improved. Very pleased about this. And I think I can definitively say that I can skip the antib's. So, yay, good doctor!
