Host ,'Not Fade Away'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Teppy, that's heartbreaking. I lost a nephew the same way; Ken was devastated, as he and his cousin had been quite close. Wishing all of your strength and grace.
Sheryl, all admiration to you as you wrestle on behalf of your son.
Laura, may the house be all you could want!
And as it's a totally different subject -
I'm moving into a whole-arsed HOUSE in about three weeks. Laura has my new mailing address and doubtless will update when and as she has time; all other contact information remains the same.
I'm so sorry, Teppy. What terrible news.
I'm about to jump out of here and into another clinical trial; this one is a trial of a virtual reality device to deal with fear and depression surrounding cancer diagnoses. I've managed to get it up and running once. I was a swirling purple cloud in a clear night sky. It was hippy-dippy but also pretty interesting. At 12 noon the whole trial group (6 people, I think) try it together for the first time. I have no idea what to expect.
JZ, that sounds pretty cool. I hope it's helpful to you and the rest of the group, in addition to being interesting.
Somehow I posted a blank post??? I couldn't let it just sit there and be blank, so this is an edit.

Huh. That is interesting. Is there a sound component as well?
I hope you get it to work for you.
The heat index here is 110, and I would like to know who to complain to. (Climate change and humans, I know.)
Jacqueline further reported that she is a vaporous purple cloud with a pulsing red heart in the VR environment. And that you can touch your heart to the other clouds as a sign of support.
I'm basically imagining Lumpy Space Princess with boundary issues.
for your amusement, Dungeons and Drag Queens
My heart is white and not pulsing, and at least so far we're not caressing each other's orbs for comfort. The whole thing is heavily laced with woo, but I'll stick it out because the oncologist was so enthusiastic about it. If I do a total turnaround and start babbling about it all the time, please rescue me because in that case it's clearly a cult.
