Jumping to the end to say that ND wins. He just sent me a dozen roses. ... He must be coming down from his acid trip.

God, just had a flashback to the WOODSTOCK records....

"Dudes, do NOT sniff the red roses. It's a bad trip man"

Yay for KT getting roses. Double yay for ND sending them.

That's the brown roses. The red roses are fine.

Until they turn brown.

Yay for the roses, Kristin.

and Yay for the removal of boxes, Daniel.

d, still sending ~ma for your dad's health.

Much ~ma for your dad, d.

Aww. That's lovely.

Oh! Happy Anniversary, Miracleborns!

Chiming in on the house talk, Wallybee and I are buying some land on which to build a house. We're buying the land from a family who've been in the area for decades, big part of the community, they have a park named after 'em and everything. Their ancestor immigrated to the Australian goldfields in the 1850s, and his son became a leading member of the Chinese community and campaigned against restrictive (and racist) immigration laws. Oh, and he had a house built for him by Walter Burley Griffin, the architect who designed Canberra. It's all very cool.

Anne, how's your stepdad doing?

Kristin, that's one sweet kilted dude you've got.

billytea, rock on with your bad land-owning self!

Glen was released from the hospital today, and came home this afternoon!

He'll be on IV antibiotics for a couple of weeks, and he's going to have to keep going in for CAT scans for a while, since he's still having some issues w/ abcesses and the like.

All of the well-wishes and ~ma has been greatly appreciated.

Glad to hear it, Anne!

And congrats to the teas, that's very cool.

Excellent!!!

Does he have a port for that? It makes things so much easier.
