msbelle, I wish I could switch places with you so you could go to Price is Right instead.

I'm rather fond of Drew Carey too. I would totally suck at Price is right though because I know the price of almost nothing.

Try and get some rest, msbelle. Enjoy the quiet time. I'll be sending good vibes in the morning.

Amazing how much I treasure the quiet in early am before all hell breaks loose, and late night after all gets quiet. These days, only get the quiet in the morning because they all stay up later than I can.

Sending out the ma~~~ so it gets to the east coast Just in time

My mom has tickets for the Price is Right tomorrow. Don't wanna go. Don't want. Don't want. Don't. Want.

You win the Good Daughter Award.

msbelle, I realize you are in bed by now, but I hope all goes well tomorrow.

And good health to Jesse's grandma and Theo's mom.

As for you Kat? I wouldn't want to go either, but hey? Might not be so bad. At least you'll be right near lots of yummy food. Are you off this next week? We should try to get together before classes start.

~mas to Jesse, Jesse's grandmother and family, and to msbelle and mac.

Hope all goes well for Theo and Jesse's families, and also to msbelle tomorow.

All the good thoughts in the world to Theo and her mom, Jesse and grandmother and family, and to msbelle and Mac.

Bev neatly sums up my wishes, so I add to them my own.

Theo, lots of health vibes to your mom, and some whichever-kind-you-may-want vibes for you, as well.

Jesse, lots of health vibes to your grandmother, and of course, lots of those multi-purpose vibes for your mom and you and all your family.

msbelle, I hope all goes as well as possible tomorrow, on all fronts, health, mac, home, your peace of mind - you name it. Just in case, lots of the good vibes are crossing the ocean your way right now.

(You know, the more health and which-kind-you-need vibes one sends, there are just more to send, I believe, and even to bigger distances and stranger timezones. They're one of the few things in nature which increase in amount, the more you use them.)

I poked my head to post that your guys rock, even when I (sadly) hardly ever get to post nearly at all, even when you don't type a single font. No, really.

A friend here needed something important (medical info for his father) sent from the USA, and sending it collect would have cost almost 4 times the regular price, and he wasn't sure if PayPal accepts Israeli currency. I just said: "Look, tell me what you need. I'm sure I can find somebody to help me with this in the USA. There won't be any problem. They'll trust me for paying them back, they'll be even pleased to help out. Dude, just tell me what you need". Only, well, I didn't actually say "dude", because the conversation was in Hebrew.

Eventually it turned out that PayPal changed their policy, and are probably accepting Israeli money now (they didn't, in the past) if one has an international credit card, so he didn't need any of the possible will-be-offered help. But it just felt so good to be able to say that, to know that my back is so thoroughly covered, I wanted to thank you guys.

[Edit: also, I had to share this xkcd, which is a thing of truth and beauty, complete with a "Serenity" reference as a bonus.]
