My MiL has been in the hospital ICU for the past few days to be treated for an infection, but she's likely to be released sometime today. That said, she still has about two more weeks of treatments before she's out of the woods. Any spare ~ma for her health would be appreciated.

I auditioned for America's Got Talent yesterday and wrote briefly about the experience here.

Because books.
If there's job~ma to spare, my other half could really use it around 3 p.m. EST.
Edited for a missing word. Oops.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

surgery started late and ran long - but went VERY well. I'm good and home. Fingers crossed for a good first night!

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
Hey Peeps!
I'm home and on the mend. Looks like I can cut back on the heavy drugs a bit (just not the same without the hookers anyway) and start communicating with the world at large again.
Thanks for all the good wishes!

I passed the background check! So I'll start paid training for a supermarket cashier job next Thursday.
Yeah, it's not a big YAY JOB, but it pays more than unemployment and it's close to home and school, so....

Semi-ridiculous question: Does anyone have an ivory or cream top hat (preferably vaguely Christmas caroler in style) that they don't want? If so, PLEASE email me at my profile addy.

Hey, my sister is being laid off because her Border's store is closing. She has almost 20 years experience, including managerial, at Waldenbooks/Borders, but she really wants a job in her field, Library Science.
She has her MLS and an MA in English, with a BA in History.
She's willing to relocate. If anyone has any leads, please drop me a line at my profile addy. She's a bibliophile, a geeky girl but with tons of customer relations skills and very hard-working, responsible and smart.

“Not dead yet!”
I know I've been super absent lately, trying to get back into a writing groove, but I'm going to shamelessly beg for some ~ma.
I found out this morning that my Father-in-law is in ICU with a strep infection that started in his elbow and has now basically attacked his whole system and gone septic. They've got him on crazy strong antibiotics and they're expecting to put him on dialysis tomorrow to give his system a kick start. I'm hoping that his overall good health will allow him to fight this off, but as Lewis' uncle who's a doctor said, expect this to be a marathon, not a sprint and my FiL's doctors have already warned my MiL that he's likely to be in the hospital for several weeks.
So yeah... any spare ~ma would be much appreciated.
