The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Ugh. My sympathies to you both. "How come it never goes smooth?"

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Well, that sucks, Hec. Human bodies are unpredictable enough without cancer and chemo entering the mix. It definitely makes scheduling a pain. I'm glad Emmett is able and willing to help.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

They took Jacqueline off to get an enema — something she’s highly phobic about.

I hope this can happen without incident and I can get her home to the hotel.

We’re definitely staying to do the treatment on Monday and can leave on Wednesday to return home.

So Saturday and Sunday we sit around a hotel room. Which is not as fun as it was when I was in my 20s.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, David.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

She was impacted so it was necessary. Ahhh, the indignities of cancer treatment.

Back in the hotel and she's sound asleep.

I'm off to find a happy hour.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm sorry, JZ and Hec. I'm glad Emmett is able to help out.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

that sounds pretty terrible, Hec. Hope things are smoother from here,although if I meet the designer of human digestive system we're gonna have a word, for sure, even though the stakes of my struggle with it are smaller.

Sending both of you love and comfort, Hec.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

although if I meet the designer of human digestive system we're gonna have a word

I'm picturing a giant velvet curtain behind which sit PInky and the Brain, or possibly the Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
