Going dark(er) until Tuesday, while DH and I travel to what's left of Sanibel Island to celebrate my grandmother's 85th birthday. It's supposed to be 60 degrees and raining, and the hotel's pool was destroyed by hurricanes and still isn't back in service. Fun fun fun!!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm going to abuse this thread slightly by saying I'm going dark grey until Monday and also wishing all the Buffistas a massively wonderful holiday season.
New Years I'll get to when it happens (if I survive Xmas).

Joining in the thread abuse to note that while I'm dealing with the in-laws in Bakersfield and otherwise on vacation, I'll be amongst the darker grey until at least Tuesday, if not after the turn of the calendar.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Merry Christmas and/or Happy Dec 25!
I have a rather random request. My mother is having to survive on a liquid/mushy diet (nothing that needs chewing) while she recovers from some recent surgery. We're looking to expand the variety of what we can offer her and hopefully keep her from losing too much weight. Do any of you have recipies for soups, etc. that you'd be willing to share? Profile addy would be wonderful.
Thanks!
edit - Mom is rapidly improving and is able to eat many more "real" food items than she could just a couple of days ago, so I think we're all good. Thanks to all who responded, it was much appreciated!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
At 4 am this morning, in Calvary Hospital, my mother passed away. She was able to enjoy Christmas Day with all her children, but took ill the next day and deteriorated from there.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I have a three-week contract customer service job coming January 10th. It's something, but please keep up the ~ma for better work, as I need a bit better.
Meanwhile, Wooo! Something, at least.

Job~ma for my husband, please. He has an interview tomorrow at 4 PM board time, which is his third since getting laid off two and a half years ago. It's not what he used to be doing, but what he did makes him a good candidate for it. They have to fill the position by Friday, too, so this one's going to move fast.

OK, I have a favor to ask of someone...I'm doing a performance next Wednesday, and have decided I really need to do it in a corset. Sadly, though I've been nosing around Meschantes and ebay, I don't yet own one!! But I know a lot of Buffistas do. I'm willing to pay for shipping and a "rental" fee (and promise to send it back quickly!), would anyone be willing to loan one to me? I'm about a 12, an overbust would be best, but I'm willing to work with what anyone is willing to loan...help! Email me at yahoo, mearagirl, if you could help a girl out...
(Edit: And becuase Buffistas rock in precisely that fashion, I had three offers within minutes! Thanks guys!)

Apartment~ma, please. I received a notice yesterday that the new owners of my apartment building are adding $400 to my rent on February 1st. I have until January 31st to move.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
For those who were worried about Polter-Cow, I just wanted to let you know that his auto-email response says this:
I am currently in India, and I will return to Ann Arbor on January 10.
The likelihood of my seeing your e-mail before then is slim, since the
last time I was there, they didn't even have toilets.
I believe our favorite tag-catcher was only in the northern part of India, but it's a little nerve-wracking to not know for sure. I just wanted to let everyone know that he's expected back on the 10th. Safety-ma to him and to his family, please...
