I need to get my butt out the door and go buy Superbowl provisions. And finish cleaning my house.

I don't know how many people we will have so I need to be flexible with the provisioning. I'm also trying to decide what to do about Bobby. We do more doctoring on Monday (MRI), but one of the possible diagnoses we are considering is mono. If we have a bunch of teens here I don't want them all to get sick. I'll have to talk to him again about double dipping and drinking from shared containers and stuff. Also might text his doctor for his opinion.

Best of luck with Bobby's health. Much ~ma for you and him.

Also, some patience~ma for Shir while her parents are sick.

Okay, speaking of lights in the sky, has anyone heard about the lights over Norway on Dec 9th?

Some examples from the 'net:

From a UFO site, but they have several pics and an interview with an eyewitness:

And form Discover, which thinks it might be a failed Russian rocket test: [link]

Me? I think a Stargate opened.

Wow, those pictures are incredible. People must have freaked out.

Bobby has promised not to swap saliva until we know what is going on.

That is very definitely a rocket test of some kind. We've had a few out here on the west coast, where the military was testing ballistic missile intercept systems, and that is exactly what it looks like.

Happy Sunday, everyone! I had glorious sleep last night uninterrupted by evil neighbors. Today we're babysitting for a friends little boy.

Hey, Bitches. So, I've spent the past 37 hours with my evil friend, Food Poisoning. At least that's what I think it was. I think the worst of it is over now. I can keep water down now, which is a plus. I am sore all over and still feel icky, though.

I'm going to try eating a cracker. Wish me luck.

Oh dear. Seems like My Bitches and families are seriously dealing with the ick. WTF, Universe?

Much ~ma for everyone.

Today, so far, has been a lazy, lovely morning, although the one downside is the Sunday paper seems to have not been delivered. Bah.

Poor, Chi. Good luck with crackers!

Wow. ~mas galore, Chikat. You friend is evil.

I would like to download the contents of Shir's brain into mine

My, thank you! And, you do know I keep a mostly-academic blog these days, right? (with possibly a new entry tonight).

And, btw, you guys rock. My mom is already feel better. Don't know about my dad.

But, and however, I'd like to keep the ~ma to my mom, and pass your future ~mas to my dog. Short version of the story: doggy's been little bit weird lately, but not really weird. However, doggy started panting weird every once and a while. Doggy was taken to the vet today. Vet took blood, and tomorrow urine samples, and doesn't want to start and make assumptions, but seems like something is wrong with Louie. Could be his heart, could be not. Whatever it might be, will know more in a day or two. Vet, of course, is being wise with the not-jumping-to-conclusions thing, but we are worried. Louie, given what he's been through today, is in an excellent mood.
