Closed Threads

[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.

My oldest sister has started a blog about her medical saga. If I haven't mentioned it here before, she was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of uterine cancer. Her latest update has her on her 4th week of chemo, and her oncologist is using the word "pleased". As she says, " It has been a long time since "pleased" has been part of a conversation regarding my health." And talk has begun about the post-chemo stage. There hadn't been any talk before now about post-chemo.

My brain has always run to a stuttering halt when thinking about this, but there may be, if not hope, then the potential for something less awful than feared.

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.

Connie that's amazing! I'm glad there's a glimmer of something other than complete dread there.

I hope there's a good long post-chemo period for which to plan, Connie.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Wonderful news, Connie!

TCG's sleep study for tonight was canceled because insurance won't cover it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Glad for less awfulness, Connie!

Life in the Muppet-verse sounds pretty good. I think I would be at home on the Discworld.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

O_a is this for a faculty or staff position?

Non professor gig. So staff.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Casa Vega is pretty good Mexican, IIRC.

Watch out for the face attacking tiles, though. Just ask Emeline.

Now tagless for your comfort.

That's great news, Connie!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Gah. Just tripped over a Rubik's cube and partially dislocated a rib. This seems like it ought to be part of a short story or something, but I can't figure out what all the symbolism would be.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Connie, it's great to hear that things might be looking better with your sister. (And writing is great. The Girl has been writing a blog about the family's experiences regarding her father's cancer, and it seems to be helping her a lot.)

Hil - erk. Is it stuck, or did it go back in? I hope it's not too painful.

So there's mixed opinion (between two different departmental representatives) over whether there's any chance of funding for my PhD at Good-But-Close University (as opposed to Leeds, which is good but FAR). Typical. I shall pray. And fill in forms.

The Girl just discovered the UK government official statistics website. She's exhibiting far too much joy over this. How'd I end up with a quantitative person, exactly? (No, seriously. She's practically orgasming over "raw data".)
