Could use some health -ma for my mom. She called me at 4 am her time this morning to tell me she was going to the ER with abdominal pain. She just came out of a CT scan and has a partial bowel blockage. They are putting in a pump and hoping to avoid surgery. This happened to her years ago, but it was a total blockage with a break in the bowel. So not as bad as that, but still very very serious because her insides are already filled with scar tissue from prior bowel surgeries and numerous hernia surgeries. Being 4,000 miles away sucks more than I can say. All I can do is sit here awaiting text updates from my aunt.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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.
I somehow ended up with 160ish posts to read here. Daniel and I had a delicious lunch yesterday at the Thai place (small town Minnesota, can support more than one Chinese buffet, but only one each of Japanese and Thai restaurants). Absolutely amazing. Why didn't any one tell me how much I would love basil in stir fry?

Hope all goes well for your mom, Callaluna. Just catching up for a minute here. I'm sure I'll fall behind again soon. It's so good to see all the returnees. This is such a special place.

Much ~ma for your mother, Callaluna. I hope all goes well, and you get some reassuring news sooner rather than later.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
~ma to your mother, Callaluna, and to you in the waiting.
I bow to the judgment of the newspaper-experienced about which portraits will reproduce best (and a krav headshot is perfect), and yet once again I want ita to weigh in; surely she'd have complaints about how her hair is many millimeters too long and then she would pull out nine infinitely better pictures from nowhere at all and say, "See, people? Do I have to do everything myself?"
I also had the brief thought that if we used this picture, maybe she would be forced to come back from wherever she is just to kill us all with her pinky. But we wouldn't care, because then she'd be back.
