Fred, Arthur is a one lucky kitty to have you in his fighting corner with him.
Fuck cancer.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
To my credit, I've never actually thrown up on a medical person ....
Oooh! I have! I have! Right on a cute little resident who thought the to-the-bone wound on my wrist after I put it through a window was "so cool" he forced me to look at it. I looked, it was pretty cool, and then YAK! All over his shiny new white coat. Told you I would throw up if I looked at it.
Fuck cancer.
Tep, I am so sorry you're having a hard time today. :( Boo.

I wore my size 18 jeans today. They were snug but not too snug.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Thank you all for the thoughts. Arthur is getting his first chemo, along with a massive infusion of stem cells, today.
Related questions for Southeast-istas -- how bad is the weather supposed to be over the next couple of days? Hubs is in Athens, GA right now. The plan is for him to drive (with Arthur) to the Lake Norman, NC, area tomorrow and from there home on Saturday. The Weather Channel Web site says winter storm expected over that area over the next couple days -- only a few inches, but I know that it doesn't take much snow to snarl up that part of the U.S. completely. Better to wait an extra day or two?

I'd wait an extra day or two, Fred. They are calling for 3-6 inches starting Friday night, and for the temps to not go above freezing until Monday afternoon. I expect some snarl.

Yeah, I don't think the Lake Norman area is looking at a lot of snow, but it'll get snowier as he goes east and/or northeast. And NC has not improved its ability to can when it comes to winter.
