Oy, Calli. I mean, path samples are sent around all the time for further analysis, second opinions, whatev -- but ya think they maybe could've found a better way to put it?
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You guys! You're good for my ego I tell you what.
Things you don't want to hear from an oncologist: The tumor was so bizarre we sent it up to Sloane-Kettering for analysis.
Yikes, Calli! I am hoping this somehow makes the diagnosis more comprehensive? Or maybe it's so bizarre that it is actually totally harmless!

Right -- I totally don't want to give you false hope, but when a pathology lab says "this is weird," sometimes it's harmless-weird that was mistaken for harmful because no one had seen anything like it before.
Teppy, was it this you were thinking of with the signature thing?
Actually, I had read that one before, but it was Madeleine L'Engle, in A Circle of Quiet. And she only did the check-signature thing once; very possibly I conflated her story with credit-card dude.
ION, the Apple repair dudes in my 'hood were awesome even on the phone, and told me that they could fix it in about an hour...once they have the part. So I'm dropping the laptop off Monday after work. They said that the part + repair will be in the neighborhood of $150, which is naturally more than I *want* to pay but far less than I was fearing. So that's cool. And they're Apple-authorized repair/training/etc. dudes, so I feel good about it.

That would be ideal. Or maybe the tumors will eventually cause my dad to mutate into a superhero of some sort. It's Senior Man! Call Senior Man for all your senior citizen-related superhero needs. Those durned kids won't come within miles of your lawn.

It's not a tumor; it's his POWER CENTER!!!! (Please tell me if making a joke about your dad's tumor is crass; I'll delete right away, with a thousand apologies. I'm just trying to keep things light, if I can.)

Hee! No, I figure if I'm making tumor jokes it's pretty much open season. But thanks for asking.

Have I mentioned that this is basically what happened with my father-in-law's lobe that was removed? They had to send it to California and take it apart piece by piece, but whatever it was, it wasn't the cancer they'd presumed.
