I'm going to be in D.C. Sept 17th for a conference. Tied up all day, but free after 8:00 P.M. maybe after 7:00. I'll be tired but pleased to do coffee or bookstore meetup with DCistas. Profile addy is good.

Always Anti-fascist!

My brother's dog Lilly woke up sick this morning and we do not know how bad it is. Lilly and I are buddies, though, so I kind of hope she can stay around, although I know she could be old enough that an easy passing could be what we might wish for. She's a great dog, though. And I hope my brother doesn't lose it over this, either way.ETA: Brother's dog has something like doggie vertigo and should be feeling good soon. Thanks for whatever Lilly-ma you might send out.

Asking ~ma for my sis and her unit - in a few hours she's gonna do what she does on IDF in even more dangerous conditions.

“Not dead yet!”

Seattleistas! We have travel plans for coming to scope out the area-- we're coming in Tuesday, 9/22 in the afternoon and departing obscenely early on Saturday 9/26.

Here's the fun part-- Lewis' 40th is on Friday and I would LOVE to organize a dinner/get together that night. Any suggestions on where to go and who can come would be most welcome. I'll be checking F2F.

YAY! SOOOO Excited!

Your timing sucks, love, at least for me. We leave for NC 9/22, and will be there until after Thanksgiving. I guess we'll have to wait till you move out here to get together.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I will take some "work out for the best"-ma in about half an hour, which is when I start a three-hour job interview. I'm not sure what "the best" is, but I have faith that Buffista-ma will figure it out.

A hat trick of ~ma tomorrow would be most appreciated.

1. My grandmother is in the hospital, so some ~ma to get her patched up and on her way would be great.

2. My mom is going in to the hospital tomorrow morning to get her knee replaced. Good thoughts for successful surgery also welcome. Also a successful recovery, but that will be going on for the next several weeks.

3. I have a second interview for a job tomorrow morning at 9am EST - the patented Buffista ~ma is sorely needed given my recent track record with job stuff.

Thanks!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Some of that awesome Buffista~ma would be appreciated. Friday morning, my father is going in for surgery. It's for a cyst on his pancreas. The hope is they can snip off just the part that has the cyst, and not nick the spleen. Apparently they are tightly packed in there. If they can do the snip, should be pretty easy. If the spleen gets nicked, it will have to go too, which will be a lot more recovery time. The biggest thing that makes me nervous is, we have the same nueromuscular disease, and one side effect is Malignant Hypothermia from General Anesthesia. Pretty rare, and the drugs they use these days is less of a problem. But, it's still a possibility, and pretty fatal. So please, send some "just need the slip, and keep a good temperature"~ma to the NY area. I appreciate it!
