Oh Hec. I'm so sorry. Fucking cancer; I just hate it. All the best to Karen and her family and friends.

here's wishing stage one, no-chemo-required cancer to her.
What Robin Said. And peace and strength to Karen and everyone who loves her.
Andi, I think everyone pretty much told you the good wheat-free stuff. One thing to be wary of, weird stuff, like sour cream, salsa, ice cream, all kinds of foods, can often have wheat-gluten in it. Since the FDA started requiring that things be labeled more clearly, it's less often found, but it's still out there.
Also, I second the quinoa rec. It's good stuff.
I've actually almost caught up on submissions, have only two projects slightly due to overdue, and had time to read some of the board today!
Also, one of our authors was reviewed on the "Dear Author" blog and the review was picked up by Reuters and posted on their site and on the USA Today site. Woot!

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I'll also wear the What Scrappy Said tshirt. Much health~ma to Karen.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, damn Hec. All kinds of ~ma to Karen.

This. So very much this.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Deena, that is AWESOME news.
Hec is in the front bedroom snuzzling with Matilda, who is giving him much comfort (she's going through a phase right now of preferring him if she's got both of us around to choose from -- I'm okay with it, really, and right now it's lovely for him to have a tiny creature smiling and loving him and just basking in his presence).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm sorry to hear that, Hec. As far as I am concerned, breast cancer is on the list. It's been cropping up too often.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Breast cancer is definitely on the list.
I've known for a while that the odds were that one of my many close female friends would be dealing with breast cancer in their late forties and early fifties. I just have a lot of friends who are women who are that age.

How did I miss this earlier?!? Congrats, Deena, and wow!
Also, since I haven't said it in this thread... Happy Birthday, Debet!

Hec, that sucks a lot.
Happy Birthday, Debetesse!! Whoot!

That's awesome, Deena!
Sigh. I just made out with someone I'd been flirting with for quite a while, who is very cute, and...it was not All That. How disappointing!! Probably for the best, but...still.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
meara, that's too bad about the disappointing making-out. All your make-out sessions should be fabulous.
Hec, all kinds of ~ma to your friend.
Thanks for all the suggestions for my gluten-free friend, everyone. I'm sure they will help her.
Good news about the review, Deena.
And Happy B-Day, Debet!
