You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
You know you want it: more pictures of Ryan. [link] He spends time socialising with other babies, checks out some sand sculptures and has a Karate Kid II moment.

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

For sale: my house!
Any 'ffistas want to buy my/our awesome townhouse? I don't have pictures to post yet, but it's 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, basement suitable for storage and wine/beer cellaring, private yard with garden beds and 2 great trees and deck (with Weber gas grill! I'd throw in my grill for free for any of y'all.) OFF STREET PARKING! walking distance to town and commuter rail. Quiet street (more or less- it's a short street anyway) original pine plank flooring on the 2nd and 3rd floors, exposed brick and beam throughout, new bamboo hardwood floors in the living room and cherry hardwood in the dining room. Main bathroom is huge and has a jacuzzi tub. CENTRAL A/C. 1400+ SF. Three floors, no waiting. Located in Salem, MA. ~150 years old or so, built when shit was built to last.
The other townhouse in the building (it's a 2-unit townhouse, basically a big ole McIntire District house cut in half) just put their place on the market for $325K (it's the mirror image of our place but they don't have off street parking and I think our yard is superior), so that's where I'd start, but if this can be done without realtors we can all benefit financially.
If I weren't leaving New England I'd never move out of there, I really love this place. But... adventure in far off lands awaits!

If I could get some "please someone rent or buy this place" ma again, superstitious me would be happy. Our potential renters fell through as of today.

Thank you all for your good thoughts our way lately. Bob's surgery to remove his tumor is tomorrow morning (starting 7ish Eastern). It will last for about 6 hours or so and he'll be in the hospital for about 7 days after, depending on how it goes. We've been very lucky in all this. I'm hoping that's the way things continue tomorrow.

Super urgent request for some "It's not cancer!" ~ma for my sister in law. My sister just told me that SiL has a tumor behind her right eye!
We're all still in shock. She's a breast cancer survivor so they are really scared.
She's being operated on April 7th. Any ~ma would be really appreciated!
