I'm requesting all the available ~ma for my Dad, who is 83 and was hospitalized yesterday for pneumonia and fluid on his lungs. He was recently diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis after the pneumonia he got over maybe 3 months ago.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

All is well that ends in pizza.
My niece Teresa McCullar's house burnt down April 24. Humans OK, but fur babies didn't make it. Our condolences and everyone hug your companion animals tonight.
Buffistas will remember her from her 2002 kick-ass hero status, with her Bulldog Thor. DCJensen "Sunnydale Press" Dec 17, 2002 10:45:29 pm PST
There is a fund set up on Go Fund me. It is the McCullar Phoenix Fund. [link]

All is well that ends in pizza.
My niece Teresa and husband Lee are still struggling after the fire which destroyed their house and killed their two adult dogs (including Teresa's own service dog, Zuul) and several future service dog puppies. (Teresa raises and trains service dogs) They have now razed the burned-out house and are living in a camper and also added insulation and bolstering the second story to a sturdy old shed, (wiring it to live in until they can rebuild). They were renovating the house that burned (which had been a schoolhouse and later a creamery)to get it up to code to qualify for insurance. During the fire cleanup, someone stole the new battery out of their garden tractor. They lost two vehicles in the fire, and now the donated van they received just popped a power steering line. If anyone has additional places they can post a link to the GoFundMe below, please do so. Teresa and Lee could use financial assistance in rebuilding.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I made a human!
Samuel Thomas was born on his due date (June 5) about 3 hours after I started labor.
He was almost 9 pounds and almost 21 inches long.
Favorite activities include Lying to Mom about Being Hungry So As To Nap Nearer The Boob. Also farting. And being admired by family, friends, and hospital staff.
All are doing well heading into night 2 (which is supposed to be a doozey)

Herding cats for fun
If anyone has spare health ma, please send it now. My Dad collapsed and went into cardiac arrest the day after my birthday.
We have been waiting all weekend for information and he might not wake up. Seizure activity on the EEG may mean brain damage. That would be a cruelly horrible fate for the smartest man I've ever known. My poor stepmother, who gave CPR.
None of this seems real yet. I am so not ready For this. I'm going to the hospital tomorrow and I think I will be saying Goodbye.

I feel like I need to announce this on the board, since this is where we met. Tom and I are celebrating 15 years of marriage today. It's almost 20 years since the Somerville Buffistas had their first gathering (to watch part 1 of the Buffy/Faith Freaky Friday switcheroo cliffhanger.) This board is responsible for the best thing that ever happened in my life, and I'm so very grateful.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I know I've been MIA but could I get some job~ma this afternoon and tomorrow? I have an interview for a position that gets me out of sales and would be ideally suited to my strengths.
(My previous company pulled shenanigans and essentially eliminated my job in the shittiest way possible. Last Tuesday was my last day and I can honestly say this past week has been the best week I've had in a long time.)

I'm sorry to bring sad news. This is on Connie Neil's FB page.
October 10, 2019 I just found out that my Late Uncle's wife Connie Neil died yesterday. Rest in Peace Connie.
October 9, 2019 To all of those who loved her. Know that she was loved and that she loved. Our hearts go out to you.
She passed away 5 years 3 months and 6 days after the love of her life. My father Lawrence Neil who treated her as a queen. I will always see her through his eyes. â¤ï¸ Goodbye mom.
October 9,2019 For those of you who dont know this Lovely woman. Her name is Connie Rush Neil. She was married to Lawrence Neil/Dragon.. The man that got me and several friends in to the SCA. She passed away today Oct 9th 2019 about 6pm It appears she was driving home from work and felt bad.. she pulled over to the side of Geneva road. .. she was almost home.. We guess she had a heart attack. And passed on.
She never wanted kids but she got stuck with a stepdaughter, and a dozen lost boys that didnt fit in. And her husband adopted. She will be missed.. She was loved...
I will give more info on a wake at later time.
