DJ, that's awful. I'm so sorry.
amyth, I'm sorry about Lulu. It's hard even when it's time.
Vortex, that sounds awfully annoying. I hope things go smoother for you.

[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.

OMG. I just contacted over 200 students to tell them classes tonight and tomorrow night were canceled. I am so ready for a good shot of whiskey.

Jazz Fest is at the end of April. Come out after March 8 and before April 28 and you should be fine. After Jazz Fest it starts to get super hot and humid.
I also recommend staying in the Marigny or Garden District, but staying in the FQ or CBD has many good things going for it too. Check around for deals and stuff, and feel free to ping me on any specific advice or questions.
The French Quarter is not all Bourbon and Decatur- there are some cool places to see as well as dine and drink at there. However, it's true I mostly hang out on the other end of the I-10 overpass.

Needed another post to express my deepest sympathies to both Daisy and amyth. Heartbreaking.

The first infusion went well, and my only worry at this point is whether or not I'm going to be able to keep my second appointment on Thursday because of snow. I now have a colonoscopy and endoscopy scheduled next week. Health really has become a full time job. Although, I really have to say I am so much more impressed with the system I have now rather than the old system I was dealing with. Everyone talks to each other and do what they say they're going to do.

Glad the infusion went well, sj! Good health care really does make a big difference in your overall mental outlook. I've got a fairly decent doctor right now, but I really miss the one I had before her. She listened, really listened, and that makes a heck of a difference.

“Not dead yet!”
Filing away all the NO talk because if a story idea I'm working on pans out and I actually wind up selling it, it may mean research trip to Crescent City.
sj, glad the first infusion went well and hoping the weather holds up for you to make your second appointment.

Glad health stuff is going well sj! Jon called to see if I'd come by the bar after work. He has a surprise. That should be good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wow, that drives home the fragility of life, for sure.
Hugs to all who are suffering.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Not completely coherent right now.
What ita said. Hugs.
