I know this topic's come up before -- what can I send to my mother-in-law, who's just started chemo? It'd be nice to send something more practical than flowers.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Health~ma, quester. Glad you're better, sorry it's so overwhelming!
Thankful for good news about Kara.
Boarding plane. Good-bye, Chicago. Ready to be home with my kitties again.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Health~ma to you, Quester.
I'm glad you went to the game, omnis. Kids sports are a whole lot of fun, although I often wanted to ban parents.The parents were very tame. Hardly any cheering. Lots of score keeping. Not a lot of cheering. At times, I was the only cheering. It was strange. Not like my memories of my older brothers little league. Maybe that's the difference between NY and LA. Or maybe just the blah of Irvine, CA.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I asked Ginger this and my friend loved the gift bag I brought her. Books, magazines, lotion (not too smelly), tea, ginger candies. That's what I remember.

Depending on her personality, a funky, cheerful hat.
edit: or a gorgeous scarf or turban or something.

Scarves are good. The best ones are large square ones made of sort of nubby rayon. Satin and silk scarves slip right off a bald head.
This [link] is a good place for hats for chemo. I wore one of the sleep caps a lot, because my head was cold.

I think I may have a minor case of food poisoning. My stomach has been upset all day and one of the eggs in the egg bake I had yesterday was really under baked.

Never mind. It's probably not food poisoning because it turns out my BCPs have lactose. WTF pharmaceutical companies?
