That's good that it's what he would have wanted, Steph. He sounds like a great guy. I hope your Uncle Dutch gets seen to soon. I'm assuming it's the same doctor-avoidance-stubbornness a lot of men have?
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war? Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war. Harken: And your husband? Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.

[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.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Things are a little bit better tonight. Once Mom decided she was done with the projects for the moment and kinda came back to the land of the living...
I'm going to haul my laptop downstairs and start baking a devil's food cake from scratch.
Continued ~ma for the many Buffistas who need it. It's been a rough year, hasn't it?

The obit in the paper started with -- I shit you not -- "Our Elvis has left the building." He was an Elvis fanatic -- had a whole room in the house with memorabilia, paintings, etc. He even looked somewhat like Elvis (fat older Elvis), which was a deliberate cultivation on his part.
And yeah, he was a very, very goodhearted man, despite his actual ticker not working so well.

I think so. And/or denial.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Just got back from lunch. Ran into both brothers (that aren't in gaol) - one of them while on the phone with him. We shall do lunch next week.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm glad to hear it was a fitting memorial, Steph.
I'm screwed for being a single childless woman. It's a child & family specialty practice.
Spidra, I wouldn't assume that a child and family specialty practice would turn you away for being single. My friend is an MFCC at a similar practice and she definitely sees single, adult clients.

Sorry about the awful day for Drew. Yay for no infection though. Turning point ~ma.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I've caught up! Whew. So much going on. Tons and tons of ~ma to everyone! Drew! Bonny! Spidra! Sean! Hugs for them that like them. I'm guessing ND got into the surgery? any word yet? Bonny? How are you over there?
I now have feeding tube #1 in my nose today.Yup. Been there. Well, the tube up the nose part. Mine was for extracting blockage, not feeding. Either way, not the most enjoyable thing in the world. Hang in there buddy. You are doing great.
I don't believe anybody really likes me or is being honest with me.Folks have already piped in on this one, but it bears repeating. Dude, you are well liked. And while even the best of us can be an ass sometimes, don't misunderstand that as your friends not liking you. {{{{{ }}}}}
Hey California types. Is it a correct statement to say, "If you are driving NORTH on the PCH, then the ocean is NOT to your right." ?Ha! Didn't you live out here?? Pfft.
I have been drinking a concoction of orange juice, Emergen-C (1000mg of C, plus B7 and B12), protein powder and psyllium fiber. It's like rocket fuel.Oh dear jeebus! That much vitamin C would have me running to the loo. Repeatedly.
I do feel a bit blinvisible hereI see you. Just taking forever to respond. Stupid work and all. Hey, now that you are here in SoCal, we need to get together for a mini f2f!
ION- At work, one of my co-workers returned to campus (off contract for the summer) and announced her last day is Oct 4th. She handles all tech needs for dept of music, thus relieving my position of a LOT of work. I am not looking forward to her departing. However, with her leaving, I'm apt to try and ask her out. (must figure out how to do that, and work up the nerve).
IOON, watching Queen Jane. To see a young Helena Bonham Carter and young Cary Elwes. Adorable! Amazing how they were both cute then, and now.
IOOON- switching back and forth from the Compaq laptop to the MacBook Pro: The Mac track pad is much more awesome! But the curved plastic edges of the Compaq are easier on the wrists.
Now I should be off to bed. I have to be at work 2 hours earlier tomorrow. Oy.

Pix, so glad there's a bit of good news. Hope that bears out. So sorry for all the trauma and stress you two are going through! Continued good thoughts for both of you!
Thanks, omnis. I'd love to have a mini-F2F. Almost everyone I grew up with down here has moved away so I have very few people I know here.
Good luck on asking the co-worker out! And on getting up 2 hours earlier...
