This is a ~ma request for a friend of the board who's going through a swirl of of things with uncertain and possibly bad outcomes.
Some "it's just breast disease"~ma, or even "it's actually nothing"~ma would be awesome.
And then maybe a dash of "parental health and not dying"~ma, with a large handful of "other parent coping"~ma.
It's been a helluva autumn.
My beloved aunt is unable to eat any solid foods due to her epiglottis not working. Hope that the tests today show why and offer an easy fix.
My church does a Holiday ExtravaGANZA every year and a lot of the money raised goes to missions (some being: Malaria work in Africa, a school and orphanage in Sierra Leone, weekly food for a local homeless mission, a local women and children's shelter) - I am helping to gather items for the silent auction and am casting a wide wide net in the hopes of bringing in some items that may not be regular features. If you have items, or if you work for a company that has product that it donates for tax write-offs, please contact me. Placards listing the donor will be by each item. Thanks.
Because the Universe demands balance, I just found out that Mom was in a single-car accident a while ago. Apparently totaled her car, but she's okay, by and large. My sister's with her at the hospital-- they're taking x-rays and probably searching for a tranq gun. So a little ~ma, both for Mom and the hospital staff, would not go amiss.
WordPress Geeks unite! I'm offloading clients, but no one seems interested. Anyone who'd like to take over managing hosting, upgrades, and the occasional fix of a wonky website or adding new information because WordPress is too, ahem, hard for the client to do it him or herself, let me know. It doesn't make much, but it's a little coffee money. If you want to do this, you'll have to have hosting of your own you can transfer them to. Email me at my profile addy, please.
I've been attending commission meetings to try to get a community garden in South Pasadena for a couple of months now. Things are starting to look promising but the city needs to see the gardeners, needs to see the interest. If you know any gardeners in South Pasadena, PLEASE send them my way!
I know I've been a ~ma hog over the past month, but if I could get some annual review~ma today at 12:30 pm ET it would be wonderful. It was a very rough 2d half of the year, and I'm hoping that it's documented fairly. Thanks!
Looking for a littl e job ma ~~~ for me. I have a chance at a lateral transfer that would be full time ( so rare in my field at my level ) and working with teens . I suspect there will be stiff competition
I am now officially contracted with Praeger Press to write a book "Solving Global Warming through Social Change: Public Investment in Social Prosperity to Cool a Fevered Planet [Working title] ". Thanks to all the support from Buffistas over the years that helped me reach this point.
I posted this in Bitches a few days ago, but I thought I should post it here too: I will be sending out wedding annoucements after TCG and I elope next month. If anyone wants one, please e-mail me at my profile address with your address.
