A good friend of mine has a brother who was diagnosed about six months ago with Lou Gehrig's disease. He's declined rapidly and isn't expected to live much longer since he can no longer swallow and has refused a feeding tube. I would greatly appreciate any ~ma and prayers you see fit to send in the direction of Madison to the Awes family. They have done an incredible job of gathering round to take care of him and I know they could use some good thoughts to come their way at this time. Thank you.

I am looking for actual Dog~ma!
My Aunt has always had dogs, beautifully trained, happy, wonderful dogs. In the last eighteen months she lost her two standard poodles, but with my Grandmother ailing it was not the time to acquire a new puppy.
Now that my Gramma has passed we are on a quest to find my aunt a new Standard Bitch -- naturally my thoughts turned immediately to the Buffistas.
If anyone knows of a breeder or shelter with a litter (particularly if closeish to Kentucky) please let me know. My Aunt has no interest in breeding or showing. Profile addy is good. Thanks.

Now tagless for your comfort.
There are some kind, generous and lovely Buffistas I'm sending thanks out to right now from me, Christopher, Owen and Olivia.

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove
Looking for a little stone~ma for tomorrow morning. My gall bladder will be removed in an exceedingly routine outpatient procedure. I must admit to being a little nervous. Just being here in Apocalypse amongst you who are living through major triumphs and challenges puts things in perspective - yet another reason to be thankful for b.org.
I feel fortunate knowing that I'm going to come out on the other side of this feeling ever so much better.
Sending back the ~ma to them what needs it. Even if you didn't say so. Somehow it makes me stronger too.

My MIL is undergoing surgery tomorrow for lung cancer. DH is with her so if you have any spare surgery-ma, it would be appreciated.

If I'm dark for a little while, I'm having a minor tech issue...I hope it won't come down to it but it might.

So. I'm going in for some surgery tomorrow. Any and all smooth sailing and best possible results -ma would be very much appreciated.
The diagnosis is Stage I endometrial cancer, which, if it stays ranked (?) at Stage I and hasn't progressed more than a third of the way through the uterine lining, well, that would be the best case scenario and provide for an excellent prognosis. Naturally, this is my hope.
Should only be in the hospital 2-3 days. Recovery is 4-6 weeks, during which time I expect I will be the opposite of dark around here. Prayers, good thoughts, vibes, -ma -- all very much appreciated.

My best friend's father just passed away tonight unexpectedly. He had cancer, but it was still sudden. Now she and her brother will have to run the family business (she already works 65+ hour weeks) and she just bought a house this week.
Sincere request for -ma for her and her family in the upcoming weeks. He was a good man, and a loving father. They were close.
