Can I please get some ~~ma for Emeline's best friend, K? K is in the hospital with an infection of poison ivy that went systemic and might be looking at surgery tomorrow to relieve some pressure from fluid build up. Emeline is so worried about her and so am I. I know K's family and Emeline would really appreciate all of the prayer and thoughts.
Thank you so much. Emeline and I are heading up to see her tomorrow and take her some stuff to make her room a little more homey.
Could you please send some of that patented Buffista interview ~ma at 2:00pm PDT (board time) this afternoon? Thanks in advance!
SFistas! I will be in your fair city for a conference thingy from July 25 to 29 and I would LOOOOOOVE to see people for happy times... conversation continued in F2F
Update for all:
My mother went home two weeks ago, having spent recovery since her open-heart surgery at my niece and nephew's place.
She is doing well, and we spent some time with her at my niece Teresa's wedding last week.
(Teresa being her granddaughter and the kick-ass hero who stopped an abduction a few years ago)
If there is a Buffista who would like to inherit a gently used and much loved 3G and WiFi Kindle Touch, I would like it to go to a good home. ND bought me a Paperwhite as a birthday gift (we delayed purchase until now for financial reasons); there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Touch. I read from it every night. I will also donate my pink and orange Kindle book cover, which works like a charm.
ETA: The Kindle has been claimed. It is going to a very good (and very gothy) home. Hurray!
Can I please get some Buffista health~ma for my Aunt Karen, who is in a Texas hospital being treated for pneumonia? Prognosis sounds good, but she's going to be in isolation for up to a week.
And some -ma for my friend Becca, who many of you met, would be much appreciated. She is right now headed into surgery to remove the tumor in her neck. It's likely benign, but the surgery is going to be heavily influenced by how deep it's penetrated into her facial nerves. I am here at the hospital waiting for her since her family is all on the East Coast (and she IS family).
Shameless begging for anyone with clicks to spare. My Dude now gets paid 10 cents a click for every repeat visitor to his blog site at Forbes. He used to just get paid per visitor--and he did all right on his own. If you feel like visiting five times every single day from now on, that would be fabulous. Or, you know, once or twice a week.

A request for some everything goes normal, plus easy recovery-ma for my dad, please. He's going in for (probably quadruple) bypass this morning. I'm not by nature a worrier, so I'm sure everything will be just fine. But having patented Buffista -ma behind it makes me that much surer. Thanks.
This could be nothing or it could be everything. Could I have some job~ma around 5:30 this evening? Best prospect in a long, long time. Please, and thank you.
