That is VERY good news...she would not drag him to a house she didn't already like. If the Durham market is anything like Florida there are plenty of opts available so if he's looking at it your in the running. :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bouncyblue: :twocents: :twocents: :happy-bouncyblue: :happy-bo...

The vibing results continue in the "Win" column -- dad's surgery turned out to be easier than first feared (didn't have to go in through the abdomen after all) and initial pathology reports are that the mass was negative for cancer!! He's being discharged this afternoon. Thanks, all!!! :ymhug: :ymhu...

I really like it when the weather is so nice that I can walk home across Forest Park, rather than taking the crowded train! :happy-bouncyblue: <Like!> (Sorry, I spend way too much time on FB....) It was a lovely 72 & sunny here for my mommy & baby lunchtime stroll - we went to a new lakeside park, ...

Poor Willie, poor cap't & mate. Here's hoping it's only something minor.

Been following it through the local paper -- sounds pretty gruesome.

Don't cha just love lower back muscle spasms? The first time I bent over this morning, I didn't think I was gonna be able to get back up. :twitch: I've been lovin' it all day. :violin: Ow. I totally know that feeling, unfortunately. :(( I think EarlJam can hook you up with some good drugs. Or is th...

My vote is that the AI office worked fast. It doesn't take a long time for someone to send out an email to PPI and/or boss, saying - "We've gotten a report that your latest research/manuscript may have issues, we'd like to set up a meeting with you to discuss." PPI and boss are probably (tho this is...

DA - sorry to hear about your Dad's upcoming surgery. Vibes and prayers for the surgical team to have steady hands, for the pathologists to have good eyes and not find anything, for your mom and all the family as they wait the outcome, and for your dad to heal quickly. He's got a grandbaby to love ...

Update to cousin Brian: the new prognosis is 72 hours. Prayers and vibes that his son Joey and family get to eastern VA from Illinois in time to say good-bye. Vibes and prayers indeed, to all involved. I hope Brian is able to rest comfortably, and that his family gets there to surround him with lov...

Forget WWWD bracelets, I think Windsor needs her own daytime TV program. Something combining dog training and inter-office relationship management. I see segments like, "why my Tervuren would be a better middle manager than yours." :D LG, thank you for not letting your sh*tty coworker keep you from ...

Good morning! It's a nice sunny day here already, and FutureDA is happy and singing/trilling to me.

My dad will be undergoing surgery on Monday, to remove a "mass" found during a routine colonoscopy last week. Requesting some healing & peaceful vibes, as well as any "good pathology report" vibes you can spare. Earlier in the LTE, I'd asked for vibes about my grandma - they worked! She seems to hav...

Hugs and vibes to all involved, LG.

Lately, I've been dreaming about wandering through various cityscapes. Sometimes it's a big downtown area - a concrete canyon; other times, a college campus; rarely, a neighborhood. I'm usually talking to someone while walking through, but the walk & viewing of the location is what's important, not ...

Over the course of about 9 months, I had dreams that I was losing my teeth. In the first dreams, it was just one or two. By the end of the 9 months, it was nightmare quality, with me generating mouthfuls of bloody teeth, over and over. I'd spit them out, and my mouth would fill up again. It was awfu...

I've only been called to jury duty once. I was excused after mentioning during voir dire that I was casual social friends with one of the deputy prosecuting attorneys. Bummer, I kind of wanted to serve.

Coming up on 5. My parents are approaching 44.

I hope Miles & Kelly reach the latter.

Still haven't been able to get out and start week 7. But did get in a round of squats, lunges, and rows. I'm too weak to be getting much cardio out of these rounds, but I'm pretty dang sore--so it feels like exercise. We're on our 23rd consecutive day of 100+ degree weather. 80 dgr is starting to f...

:)) Schnauzers are smart, and devious. Sasha has been known to notice that Merlin (who weighs about 3 times what she does) has a chewie she wants, then run to the door barking wildly. When Merlin goes to the door to bark, she grabs his chewie and hides. Bulldogs, on the other hand -- dumb as a post...

A miniature Schnauzer (Countess Sasha von Barketta is her full name). When we left her she looked like a mop. When my dad was in Vietnam, mom got a mini schnauzer to keep her company -- Lady Pandora de Coquette, aka "Pandy." She was used to being the only family member, until we kids came along. Pa...
