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

I am looking for a roommate for my place in Washington Heights, NYC.

Its a 12x14 quiet, sunny room with its own half-bath. Freshly (yet tastefully) renovated apartment with brand new kitchen. Elevator building. Close to parks & trains. $1250.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Our own Hil lost her mom unexpectedly a few days ago. She would love cards and kind words, though she isn't up to posting about it herself.

She will be in New Jersey for the next week with her family; the funeral is tomorrow and they will be sitting shiva after that. Send me an email if you'd like that address or her normal home address.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Well, I've got a preliminary diagnosis; there's "some evidence of cancer cells" in the biopsy the GYN took last week. I've got a CT scan tomorrow, another meeting with the GYN on Friday morning, and he's working on a referral to oncology.

I literally know nothing else and I'm freaking out a little. And I will take any and all prayers and healing vibes on offer.

I was able to speak to her at the hospital. Nothing broken, and all sorts of neuro-testing has already been done. She slept some and says they've been wonderful to her. She is drugged a bit and will be kept for observation.

I will check on her throughout the day.

Jesus. I practically had a heart attack of my own.

The officer found her at a local hospital and is taking her keys to her now. I'm going to call and will update when I know something.

______

The officer just called to tell me that he found Todd's key in her unlocked door, but she is not in the apartment. He did not know if she called 911 herself, but I can't imagine a rescue squad leaving a key and unlocked door. My mind is racing over some terrifying scenarios. ---- I have just initiated a welfare check on Todd. If anyone else has heard from her, please let me know.

Last night she sent an email saying that she had fallen, and asking if I thought she should call 911. I immediately replied that she should.

I later got another email saying that she had been able to get up but not that she'd called for help. I've followed up a bunch of times by phone and email.

I am not in town and could not get into her building even if I was. Again, let me know if you have heard from her. I'll post in FB as well.
