Well, I may have to back out of joining in the SF festivities after all. My dad's just been hospitalized over a recurrence of the seizures he used to have 20 years ago, and while I hope everything will be on an even keel by late August I can't really start making plans at this point. Also, don't want to commit money to flights and hotel until I know whether or not my folks are going to slammed by big medical expenses.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
then why can't she ride in a car if someone else is driving? I'm confused.
There's a prohibition against travelling, seperate from the prohibition against electricity. As for the lights, if someone else happens to turn a light on, then a Shabbos-observing person is allowed to use it. (Also, there are certain things that you're allowed to ask a non-Jewish person to do for you on Shabbos, but you're not allowed to ask the same thing of a Jewish person, even if that person doesn't observe Shabbos. I can never remember which things these are, though.)

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, Matt. Hope all is well soon.

The status is NOT quo.
Matt, I'm so sorry. Strength to you.
And since I haven't posted it yet, congratulations Nilly! I'm so excited you're approved and coming here!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Matt, hang in, sweetie. Hoping they get this sorted out for him, and soon.

Aw, Matt, that's too bad.
If someone is organizing Nilly activities for DC, put me on the list! It's not 100% that I'm going yet, I have to get a flight, triple check with my friend, and make sure I can have the time off. But still, squee!

Best wishes for Matt and family.

Thanks gang. Right now his doctor suspects low potassium and sodium levels, but I don't think we'll know any test results until this weekend at the earliest. At least the spells don't seem to be physically stressful like they were back when, but it's scary to see someone zone out like that.

Just a quick post to say that the world's gushiest meara will have to wait for Sunday, with all my responses. Sorry!
