Teacup Guy and I are engaged! The universe wanted to be sure we would never forget the night, so we spent it waiting for AAA to come and look at TCG's dead car and then snuggled up in the tow truck on a seat built for one. We're home now. No date yet for the wedding.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Hi everyone. After one of the most difficult months of my life, whose challenges included trying to get my student loans through despite university incompetence and clerical errors, and getting arrested for driving on a suspended license, I have finally managed to get everything in order and will be departing for England on Saturday, with a visa and everything. School starts October 9, and I still have to find a place to live and a part-time job, so things aren't quite over with now. But things are finally good, so any vibes for easy travels would be well appreciated.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Could y'all direct some of that Buffista-vibe-thing my way? The rumors of potential layoffs has already come true for some here, including my boss's boss, and there is going to be a meeting to "discuss the changes" next Monday, the first day of my vacation (of course!). So, any keep-my-job~ma you could send my way would be greatly appreciated!!

Now tagless for your comfort.
A little interview~ma for DH would be appreciated today. He's interviewing for a new (and lucrative) position at another company.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
More ma ~ma requested. Just as I was leaving for work, mom got a call from the transplant center. It looks like they have a kidney for her...they told her to drive to the hospital in Sacramento.
So, some matching ~ma and hopefully some transplant~ma would not go amiss.
Y'all are powerfull in your ~ma-ness.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
my dad had a procedure called HiFu in july after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. he wanted to go this route because it seemed to have less complications than the other procedures/surgeries that are available.
basically, he's had problem after problem. he's going in(again! this will be the second time he's had this particular procedure done) today to have laser surgery to remove scar tissue that is blocking his bladder/urethra. he will have to be catheterized again for at least two more weeks.
he's essentially had a catheter in since the procedure and it's not exactly pleasant. so i'm asking for some of that infamous buffista ~ma to be directed his way so this is the LAST time he has to go through this and he can finally get on his way to recovering.

Hey, Hive Mind!
Any of our diabetics or nurses around?
Please call me at xxxx. I have a question and we can't reach Mom's nurse. Thanks.

My grandfather passed away this afternoon. I'm still waiting to hear back on any details about the funeral and so on.

As you may have deduced, Mom is home from the hospital.
They're continuing to treat her high blood sugar with insulin, etc. but there is hope that once they get her off the steroids her blood sugar will normalize and she won't need to continue the diabetes treatments.
Thanks for the ~ma guys.
