To the rest of the country, and indeed the world: "Ah-ha!"

Happy Chinese New Year to all of you! (Also in Chinese tradition, Happy Birthday to everyone since you would normally celebrate your birthday during the New Year celebration, irrespective of the actual date of your birth).
May your next year be filled with peace and prosperity.

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
Just wanted to pop in and thank you all for your good wishes on the audition.
I acquitted myself respectably. I am happy.
Now I'm going to sleep.

My dad is dying of cancer. This was all discovered Monday, after a series of events that are too much to go into here. Whatever it is (he had a biopsy late yesterday, but only to see what type; there's no doubt that this is a metastasized cancer; they/we can tell by looking at him and feeling him) is spreading through his body at an alarming rate.
He has palpable and visible lumps that are multiplying unbelievably fast. The small blessing in that, is that they were able to biopsy one of the lumps rather easily, rather than submitting him to an invasive ordeal. He's currently hospitalized, but we're looking into the feasibility of bringing him home, with hospice care to help. I was called to the hospital yesterday because they expected him to go then. But he rallied, and is fighting so hard that he was refusing to sleep, even while on a morphine drip. Now the doctors and nurses say we can't tell how long he'll last.
Buffistas are so warm and giving but all I want and need is for as many folks as possible to please pray (or hold good thoughts) for an easy and dignified death, free from fear and pain, and for strength for my poor mum who loves him so (as do I, my dh and our children).

Vibes for you and your family, Cindy. Well, it looks like my grandmother is not going to come out of the hospital. She has congestive heart failure rather than pneumonia(she is 91 already and in the middle of a long and slow mental and physical decline.) Vibes for my mother though, as she also attempts to bring Grandma back home, like she would have wanted.

Herding cats for fun
My breast cancer friend passed away, less than 8 months from her initial diagnosis. Unfortunately, she was angry with me. She left specific instructions that I was not to attend her memorial. That hurts me just about as much as the fact that she is gone forever.
Alice was ever immature, bless her steadfastly childish little heart.
Any vibes would be a comfort.
