Crap, ita. I'm sorry. Shitty week for you.
ION, the Phelps have decided to boycott picket Jobs' funeral. They announced this by posting to Twitter from an iPhone. ::facepalm::
Xander: How? What? How? Giles: Three excellent questions.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
ita, you so completely deserve a change of luck. So sorry it's shit piled on shit right now.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
ita, I'm sorry. When I wished that things would get better for me, I very emphatically added the codicil that my shitty luck did not migrate to my friends. Evidently, there is a flaw and I shall be having a stern word with the powers that be.
brenda, thanks for asking. We're in a bit of a holding pattern now, but Hopkins has accepted him as a patient, and he will be having surgery to remove the remaining lymph nodes on October 28th. He'll spend the weekend in the hospital, recover for two weeks, go into physical therapy, hope and pray there's no nerve damage or lymphedema, and then start treatment. We don't know if it's going to be interferon or ipi (Yervoy) yet.

except for the one who absolutely freaked the fuck out and clung to his mom like she was sending him down the storm drain to Pennywise the Clown.
Please tell me the kid in question wasn't named Georgie?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Sucks, ita.
Glad to hear the update, Maria. It looks like a long road, but at least you have the path mapped out now.
Wow, we're only at 4600 feet, but we're at the foot of a mountain that's 11,749 feet
Yup, our town (well, neighboring town, there are about five tiny ones all in a chain here) goes up to about 7,000. Our peak, Mt. Baldy, (heh!) is 11,400. It often doesn't feel like we're on a mountain because we're just driving around in the pine trees and don't see the elevation change. And then, oh, right, there's the Mogollon Rim!
Oh, and my friend fb'd a picture that shows snow on the San Francisco peaks in Flagstaff.
Let me see if I have the right outraged FB person.
Eh. I like and respect the person in question, but I spend a lot of my time angry too, so maybe it's a flaw we have in common.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy Birthday Sail!
I am so sorry, ita.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh ita ! Sending good thoughts and hoping that things turn around soon.
And Maria,
It looks like a long road, but at least you have the path mapped out now.
Yes this. Hope the surgery and recovery go well.
Speaking of surgery and recovery, hope Grace is doing well this morning.
