Guys thanks for all the support...
But there is another DU'er who we should be sending positive thoughts to...Lala RawRaw is going into the hospital tomorrow...so Say hey to her and keep her in your thoughts. She has made us aware of so many stories and she is a hero to me.


Larisa....:loveya:

30. Well
Hard to explain, maybe Andy can do the honors. I am sick of talking about it:( It is too long to explain, but anyone who has followed it feel free to explain, if you want to. I am trying to pretend that tomorrow is a day for reading, getting all my books ready. Thank you for the wishes, means loads:)

34. I think we should just have a hell of a laugh fest man...
No joke. I go in Monday and Andy on Wednesday. I wonder what conspiracy theorists will make of this, lol.

Andy and I want to do a faux medical talk show where we discuss very important illnesses like:

The indignant Mother Syndrome or TIMS: a form of manipulation that mothers use to further their own careers by exploiting the private lives of their children and faking sincerity. This disease was first uncovered when a very brave Lynn Cheney came forward prior to the election. She announced to the world that she was sick with TIMS by stating "I am an indignant mother" to show her solidarity with other people with this incurable illness.

The cause of this is believed to be a genetic trait inherited through inbreeding down corporate lines.

Any suggestions for our faux medical encyclopedia?

40. faux med. encyc. suggestion
Well, I've been thinking about my fundie country cousins who vote Reep.

They exhibit a dire mutation called the Victimized Majority.

You can tell when someone has this fatal syndrome when they say things like:

"Why shouldn't the Ten Commandments be displayed in courtrooms and public places? We're the majority."

47. Much love to both Larisa and Andy.
I don't know you, Larisa, but I know how scary the whole hospital thing can be!

The best to you Andy. I guess you know how I feel. It sickens me that you have so much else to worry about besides your health. Your situation is so much worse than mine was, but I had extra things to worry about, too. It sucks. It makes it impossible to focus on wellness.

But, I guess we at least have you covered on the way in, for now, so if you can try to relax a bit, it would help. Keep on loving, too. That helps. I bet you can hardly wait until your Bev-ectomy, right? Get that evil fucker out of your body and let the healing begin!

I hope you and Larisa have lots of folks holding your hands. That kind of support is so desperately needed. We'll keep the lights burning for you here.

:loveya:
