msbelle, someone mentioned Knott's above. My mom LOVED their gift boxes of jams. (Which I generally bought at Target, et al, but I assume could be acquired locally as well).
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My sister's not-husband (long-term live-in boyfriend) is back in the hospital and things seem dire. He had his gallbladder removed a few weeks ago, and it seems that the surgeon put in a stent and did it wrong, and now there is damage to his liver. This went on way too long without being taken seriously enough. He's lost almost 30 pounds and he throws up bile every time he eats more than two bites of food. Hell, *I* knew it was his liver, how come the doctor thought it was fucking pneumonia? He has surgery tomorrow to try to remove the lesions from his liver, and then he could be in the hospital for weeks. My sister is scared to death. I'm worried too. He's a really good guy and they have been really good for each other. Please send some Buffista healing ~ma to my sister's Sam?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oof, best thoughts to him!

Zen I am so sorry. Good thoughts to him and your sister and guidance for them to find a good lawyer.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
the full stocking concept
My grandparents' practice was to fill the bottom half of Christmas stockings with handfuls of un-shelled nuts and several oranges, then candy and small presents in the upper half.
The oranges and the nuts always got poured back into the "holiday bowls" on the coffee table whence they came.

Oh shit - tons of ~ma for him, Zenkitty.
Seconding the lawyer rec. When the hospital screwed up my gall bladder situation and almost killed me, my surgeon offered to testify (we opted to not sue and went another direction to address it), so there may very well be nurses or other staff that will support the case.

Yikes, Zenkitty! Tons of ~ma for your brother-in-law.
I always buy so much from TCG and ltc’s stockings that they end up with a gift bag each of things that should have fit in their stockings.
