So, a bunch of us (me, debetesse, SuziQ, and FayJay) are on a GISHWHES team, and one of the items is for someone in Seattle to go to a Guinness record-breaking event, dressed as a French maid. Anyone game? More info: [link]
If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me
Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
Note on Hil's post: if you do the thing, I will knit you something of your choice. Our team is not above bribery.
Another GISHWHES item is to make a Twitter account pretending to be Orlando Jones and get at least 400 followers. Anyone who wants to help, we're @Or1andoJones.
If anyone knows someone who controls the Twitter account of any federal agency (of any country), and thinks they'd be willing to tweet something for GISHWHES, please let me know.
Health~ma for my mum, please. She got through her knee revision surgery fine, but she seems to have gotten some kind of infection post-op. I didn't get a lot of information because part of the problem is that she's having a hard time speaking. She's all raspy and says swallowing is like swallowing razor blades and even drinking is painful, let alone eating.
My dad had a heart attack this weekend. It's his second, and while he's doing okay, I'll be dark from Tues-Sun while I go stay with my parents to help out. Which may involve sitting on my dad to keep him from doing anything he's not supposed to do.
Eowyn's sword arrived today, my lovelies. I'm wearing it now and debating when and if I'm going to take it off. Thank you, it made me cry.
Surgery am for my dad please. He's currently in surgery now.
Oh. My. Gosh.
I am a first grade teacher. And if it hasn't been for you all, I totally wouldn't be. I just accepted the position and I can't thank you all enough. Thank you thank you thank you.
