I'm so very sorry. I don't have any words. It's just so unfair.

Re: Bad news

Hi, Megan, that's such a sweet offer, and I'd love to see your daughter. But we are flying direct from LAX to London Heathrow.

Thanks so much, though. It means a lot to me.

Also, it's good to "see" [more]

Re: Shopping like a madwoman

Thanks, Nancy. Some of it is my Sock Summit '14 fund. Which is bittersweet.

On the other hand, the Boo got his guitar on Saturday. He tracked it assiduously the whole time it was being shipped, and he pretty much sat by the door until it [more]

Re: weird question

Oh, whoopica. {{{{{whoopica}}}}}

I recently got some unwelcome knowledge (not the Boo's cancer thing, a different, pup-related thing). It was very hurtful and shocking and upsetting and it was super-tempting to just go off on him.

Re: Shopping like a madwoman

Thanks, sweetie. I needed to hear that. And hugs are always good.

We are so lucky to be going through this when we have resources. One fewer thing to worry about.


Love to everyone,

Also, he did shut me down about the new car, which I was only half-serious about...he still has the 2000 Jetta, which barely has 110,000 miles on it and the only thing wrong with it is the clearcoat is peeling off. Otherwise, the power nothing and [more]

Shopping like a madwoman

Hi, all, I felt the urge to confess. I have, since hearing the Boo has to go back to doing chemo, spent a lot of money on him. A new computer and a guitar he's wanted forever, but we kept putting off. I think it will slow soon, because he's never [more]

Bad news

Hi, all, I guess I spoke too soon when I said the Boo had good results from his latest cancer treatment. His PET/CT scan was not good--there are spots on the liver, the lymph nodes near the liver, and his lung. I guess I'm not going to have a [more]

Re: Little bit of an update

Sometimes it's not just the absolute cost, it's the rate at which it's going up. It's like when our gas prices tripled to over $3, but we were still paying like half of what they'd paid in Europe for ages ($5 a liter, something like that). So [more]

Oh, good. :-) Makes me laugh every time. I heard it from a comedian (now I can't remember which one, maybe Dmitri Martin?).

Re: That was unexpected

Being an atheist certainly simplifies the process.

Yeah, but having to yell, "Oh, random chance!" at the moment of, um, climax, seems complicated to me. :-)

Re: Help Me with Costume?

I would say go with Qui-gon Jin, or generic Jedi--brown bathrobe, white gi top underneath, brown pants, buy a light saber at Target for 10 bucks or so. Pull your hair back a la Liam Neeson, and call it good.

I know this is OBE, but I wanted [more]

Re: On Names

Or the Commedia dell' Arte. :-)

I thought of Agatha Christie first, too. Love the Harley Quinn stories.

To be fair, I also thought of the Joker's helper, Harley Quinn.

Re: An Open Letter

God bless your mom, Nancy. She was very wise.

All of that eases my mind. You deserve all good things, and I'm glad to know that you have some income. That's a stress you can do without.
