A little, well ... a lot of ~~ma~~ please.
Joe's mom is in the hospital. She had some heart episode - cardiac tachycardia - I think it's called and they're keeping her overnight for observation.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Assorted updates, all good news:
My sister and her baby are doing fine. He's still healthy and still staying put for the time being. He passed the 30 week mark on Monday and is showing no ill effects from his now much more cramped and less-cushy living space. Barring signs of infection, the doctors are content to leave him be until contractions begin on their own.
We got (barring something freakish happening) the house we wanted and close on the 31st. We went back and forth on the price and the owner refuses to remove the rusty ariel tower next to the house, but he agreed to all our other demands, including replacing the roof.
The house is going to need some work, though nothing major, but it met most of our requirements, is right next door to a really good elementary school and within walking distance of Lake Michigan. It's about 8 miles north from my current apartment, which is going to add 10-15 minutes to my commute and means we have to go through all the fun rigamarole of moving to a different state, but it's got 3 bedrooms, some nice hardwood floors on the main level and a good-sized back yard. It should be great house for Mattias to grow up in.
Speaking of Mattias, the last time I poked my head in Natter I saw requests for new pictures. I just uploaded a bunch from the last couple months here: [link]

Seattleistas. I'm going to be at the (hopefully big ) Oct 27th anti-war demonstration in Seattle to stop the war noon in Judkins park. basic info: [link] Map: [link]
I'll be with the South Sound contingent. We will be carrying Peace balloons with doves on them. (We'll have extras, so they may spread, but we'll be the big concentration of them.)
If you are going to be at the demo anyway, maybe we could meet. Profile addy good.

Thanks for the ~~ma the other day, ya'll.
Joe's mom is fine, though they don't know *why* her heart went racing at 200 bpm for about 6 hours. Enzymes and other blood work came back normal and she'll have a stress test and other stuff with her PCP.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Me again, asking for the mama ~ma. My mom developed a severe blood clot in her leg and as of this morning is back in the hospital.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Going dark for the whole moving thing. If everything goes smoothly, we'll have internet hooked up on the day we move in.

not your mom's socks.
a little keep-your-new-job~ma would be much appreciated for my DH, through Nov. 15 or so.... We think/hope everything will be ok, but what with moving up here for said job, and everything else (like one-too-many mortgages), it's going to be a worry until all the meetings happen and we know what's going on. Buffista~ma would be a comfort, to say the least.

Always Anti-fascist!
I need some -ma for us and for my attendant D.(it's a long story, but...) She's got a family situation and does not always think stuff through.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
On November 18, I will be performing at the Toronto Sketch Festival with The Nat Turner Review.
Cool, huh?
