Me too, Sophia.

When my dad had his heart attack in Mexico, the staff not only made great food, they asked what he liked and cooked some things special. My mom still talks about it.

When I had kidney surgery at age 8, my cousin brought me a McDonald's cheeseburger and I was the happiest kid in the ward. I remember reading somewhere that studies have actually shown that people heal faster if they are given food with a little salt and fat in it - i.e. FLAVOR - because they eat more and have more calories to spend on getting better. The standard no-fat-no-salt-no-sugar hospital food diet was having the opposite of its intended effect because people just weren't eating enough.

There isn't an organized list--this last one just went by the Last Known Mass Mailing, and the only people I can say for sure that we knew needed to be added were ita ! and Scola, as they'd been part of the subject of the last list.

I would TOTALLY have included anyone who was left off, if I had, you know, done more than scan the actual list of email addresses at the time.

I'm sorry for anyone who's been left off the email lists - I know the last two times it's been a spur of the moment thing with as many email addresses as we could pull together off the top of our collective heads. (And there's no good way to go to Press and say "Everyone except these three people, send me your email addresses! Also those three people don't read this post!")

I am a little uncomfortable saying this, but I have seen a lot of thank you'd for gifts I would have donated to, but I never knew people were doing it. Is there some sort of list I have fallen off of? Or perhaps it is because I don't post as much? Anyhow, I would love to be included in these things.

Same here. I thought we had a list somewhere organized a while back, but I don't know what happened to the plan.

Maybe we should get more organized and do a thing where everyone who wants to be included I'm such things can email person X with the right email address(I am pretty sure scrappy was on there but with an old address). Then whoever needs the list can email person X for it

I would be happy to be person X asking as people don't care if this is a speedy process-- come Monday, we won't be able to look at personal email on work computers

Oh, you're just not trying hard enough. (Kidding.)

We could also use the email/contact list Suzi and JenP and I were working on (and sort of left hanging in the wind, mostly because of me, I think). We were going to ask about birthdays, etc., but we could ask this, too. Maybe we should actually send a little questionnaire out, and that way all anyone would have to do would be to answer it and hit reply.

Me three.

Hey, there's an actual Fuck Cancer organization. I like that.
