Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thank you! I dread to be hopeful at this point, but... maybe it went well enough? We'll see.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
You guys, I am so sad. My mom's side of the family is relatively small -- she only has 2 sisters. Her oldest sister (who is, I think, 76 or maybe 77) (which no longer sounds "old" to me) has been in poor health for a long time. At least 10 years, probably 15. She has chronic pain that has kept her from being very mobile, and lack of mobility causes its own problems.
She's had diverticulosis for a long, long time (30 years, maybe), which is not a horrible condition unless/until there's inflammation and trapped stuff in the GI tract (the inflammation turns diverticulosis into diverticulitis). About 2 weeks ago, she had emergency GI surgery because the diverticulosis had turned into diverticulitis, which in turn created an abscess.
Surgery went okay, but she needed to go to a rehab facility before she can go home, partly to address her chronic pain and low level of mobility. But last night she was rushed to the ER because she has multiple clots in her lungs, which is always a risk after surgery (and is the reason patients are strongly urged to get out of bed and walk a little after surgery, and then keep walking). She's receiving blood thinners for the clots, but my mom was visiting today and the doctor talked to the family and said that her prognosis is not good, that her heart is not doing well in the attempt to break up the clots.
This is the aunt who loves Murderbiscuit so much that she texts me to ask for pictures if I haven't sent one in a while. Her birthday was Saturday, and I texted her a picture of him, which she appreciated.
So I'm just really really sad. Human frailty is stupid.

I'm sorry, Teppy. Surgery is very tricky for people with multiple chronic issues. Wishes for the best possible outcome, and peace and comfort to you and yours.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm so sorry, Steph. Best wishes to her.
Shir, best ~ma to you too.

Aw, Tep. That is sad making.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm sorry, Steph.
Kind of a crappy day in general, huh.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm very sorry, Steph.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm sorry, Steph.

I'm sorry Steph. Tons of ~ma.
I'm sorry, Dana.
