After being on standby at the last minute since February,, my nephew Chris has apparently been called up for National Guard duty in Iraq. He will go to Death Valley for training for a month, and then for a year in Iraq.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
May I ask for a little bit of good wishes my way tomorrow? It's the first tests to see what the "unidentified suspicious mass" in the right breast is.
Thanks.

Back from six pictures of right breast, plus ultrasound.
Not cancer.
Something called (I bet I mangle this) fibroglandular thickening; it's complicated by being right where breast meets crucio-mrmpmumble ligament (one of the three on the shoulder), because said ligament is well and truly SNAFU'd.
I go back in six months, for more looks at the fibro-doodad. I am also told to stay way the hell off anything resembling hormones until then, which is fine, because I'm not using any anyway.
But not cancer.
Why yes, I'm relieved. Cancer would really have been excessive and in bad taste, other health matters considered.

All is well that ends in pizza.
As Friday October 10th is the day my .mac account was up for renewal and I needed the funds for job hunting and other things, I was sadly looking to discontinue the account. My five year old email address and fast access to 100 MB of webspace without popups and link redirects would be history.
But then, out of the blue, a generous Buffista stepped up to the plate and offered me an account renewal, bought and paid. I have accepted and will continue to place screencaps there for yet another year.
This is the second such gift to me from a Buffista during my unemployment period and for a similar amount.
I am awestruck for such generous people to be my friends.
Thank you.

I'm going away again for the weekend so I won't be here. I also wanted to wish all the Canadian Buffistas a Happy Thanksgiving this weekend.

I'm off to Mexico for a week to a resort wedding, so I'll be darker than the grey-ish I've been lately.

I had an interview today, so after the fact jobma that they want to interview me again (or something!) is appreciated.

Off to NJ for family festivities, so I will most likely be dark grey for the long weekend, phone modem access time likely to be severely restricted due to visiting phone-chattery relative's house.
