It's so disappointing. I thought for sure Connie would qualify. I am sorry.
Inara: Who's winning? Simon: I can't tell. They don't seem to be playing by any civilized rules that I know.

[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.

His pension was $600 a month after taxes. I've been the breadwinner our whole lives, I'm only 53, and I was the healthy one. He was 57.

It's appalling how many women's contributions to SS account for nothing. After all, income tax is on joint income, not on the highest earner.
Thanks for the ~ma. I am back from chemo. It took four sticks to find a vein, so it's a good thing I'm getting a port put back in next week. It feels like a step back, though.
Chemo never hits me the day of the infusion, so I won't know for a day or two how I'm going to feel.

They took out Hubby's port and put in three tails to plug into. He called them his hippy beads because of the way they dangled and clattered.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I know that's a tough thing, Ginger, but I'm glad you're getting the treatment you need. Here's hoping it does its good work with lessened ill effects for you.
Our local drug abuse prevention council recently put on a drugs takeback event and it was so successful that they set up a permanent station at the police department.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Fingers crossed that it treats you well, Ginger.

All the best, Ginger.

I hope all goes well, Ginger.

I'm trying to imagine a book about cancer patients using real chemo symptoms.

It's been 10 years since I was last on Taxol, and I had kind of forgotten the effect of the large dose of IV steroids administered before the Taxol to reduce the side effects. The steroids made me eat Grape-nuts and yogurt at 3 a.m. and read all of The New Yorker online. I need to find a way to harness my superpowers in a more constructive way.
