lisah, my thoughts go out to you both.

ETA: So much ~ma for you and Bob, Lisa. Health, speedy recovery, and peace of mind for you.

I watch House. No good could come from that.

It's not lupus!

Mucho ~ma for you and your "little" guy, Laura.

Seska, I'd love to look at The Girl's counter-proposal - could you friend me (redacted)? I got an invite for the "Tell Her" one and couldn't pinpoint exactly why it bugged me. I'd love to see what more articulate types made of it.

Nora and smonster, have a great time while working your rears off!

omnis, glad it's going better than you feared. ~Ma for the best possible outcome.

Anyone I missed, {{{Bitches}}}

Well, we get to work our rears off during the day, then add back on with food (and alcohol) at night. That's the great thing about New Orleans.

I smile for a solid week, I swear.

A well-balanced schedule then? Very sensible.

{{{{{lisah}}}}} Tons of ~ma for Bob. I'm so sorry.

Best outcome possible-ma to Lisah and Bob.

A well-balanced schedule then? Very sensible.

That's my feeling. Philanthropy by day, hedonism by night.

Laura, how scary! I have majorly skimmed, so I hope everything turns out well, and am glad you have a such a great support net of docs. Love you, sweetheart!

Seska, I am intrigued. I'm (dur) Erin Griggs on FB.

I've been cleaning and organizing for the last few days. My home office is On The List today; my on-line lcass starts next week.

People who have taken/taught on-line classes, any words of advice? Stuff that you really liked or disliked? Tech that helped/hindered?

Also...ION -- opinion: So I let my phone molder yesterday in the bottom of my bag of death. Didn't hear it ring or even think about it, frankly. This morning, I go to check it, and I have a message from M's (soon to be stepson) mom. Fine, whatev. I listen. Ok, guys, I am a hard-hearted bitch because I kinda snorted in disbelief. "I was hoping to rally the family troops, because my sister is sick, really sick, and I was hoping you guys could take her dinner. I left a message with D. also."

Mmm...k? M's mom is in PA, and I know her sis, slightly, socially. I am sorry that she is sick, but SHE HAS FRIENDS AND A HUSBAND. WTFF? I get wanting to maintain good relations between the mom and dad and steps and steps to be. But is this a little...beyond? (D and the sister get along fine, but are not close or anything.)

All good thoughts to lisah and Bob for the best possible outcomes with the least amount of unpleasantness possible.

And some relief and continued good thoughts to Bobby, Laura and the rest of the family.

Seska, I'm very glad your girl exists and wish her well in her endeavors--as I do you, of course.

Barb, sorry about the computer.

Continued good thoughts to Teppy.

In me-oriented news, I just had an amazing basic bacon, eggs, and toast brunch, with lemon curd for the toast. Nom. One savors one's pleasures in the moment; the next moment is a tossup.

Lisah, much love to you and Bob. How terrifying for you both. I am thinking about you and sending health~ma his way.
