If ever there was a silver lining, your viking is finding it. He doesn't sound like the kind of guy who goes for hugs, but man I want to wrap him in a big hug.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

[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.

I think he would be delighted by hugs.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I also want to (gently!) hug the heck out of your Viking, Connie.

I think it may have been on the sciencejunkie tumblr?
Quite possibly. I think I saw it on bOING bOING.

I had the other end of that experience several times after Mom was diagnosed. Suddenly every other person I met had their own cancer or family cancer story to share. And most of them were very helpful.

Very cool Typo.
Sumi, that is neat, but 3D nail art drives me nuts (on my nails). Which reminds me, I really need to repaint my nails.

Thrive to spite them
Glad your hubby is pain free and hope this continues.
I had dinner with Will and his youngest son (now 19), he had non Hodgkins lymphoma when he was 7. I wasn't thinking about that but catching Will up on the Bitches thread and also how your hubby was doing Connie. And Will's son A had these recommendations for making chemotherapy more bearable - a body pillow (to hug and also lay against), Ativan, Honeycombs cereal, Star Wars (especially The Empire Strikes Back, or as he put it "Episode 5"), Harry Potter and if he can get it - access to lots of therapy dogs at one time. Because if you pet one the others get jealous and all come over to be petted.
I told him I'd pass that along in case any of it might help.
