Mom says Dad is going to have to start chemotherapy now. There were a lot of cancerous...things...in what they removed yesterday, although they're not sure yet whether it's metastasized to his lymph system. He also has some other sub-issues she didn't talk about (other than the fluid on the lungs) from the surgery. But at least he's out of ICU now and breathing on his own. So, as she said, it's likely going to get rather ugly from here. But I think I got her to understand, though, that I would like to come up to see them, just because I'd like to come see them, and she seemed pleased with the idea. Even if they have no ostensible usefulness for me to engage in right now. Just company, no pink teddy bears. Their good friends Chris and Darcy are there for them for the helpful things, for which I am and always will be grateful. Especially from this logistical distance. Hugs to everybody for their well wishes, and hugs back to those as need them. G'night. Julia, hard times; I'm glad that there are Chris and Darcy's in the world

Thanks for the well-wishes and good thoughts everybody. It means a lot. Diane, you're right about a visit just for the sake of visiting being a good thing. No beating myself up over it taking so long, either. Julia, yes. And I'll be ever so glad to meet the Chris and Darcy in my mom and dad's world. And Sara, last but not least, thanks especially for the hearty snortle. I don't mean to be missing out on responding to anyone's comments here, I'm rushing and have to get back to work.

Oh, pooh, I didn't poke you that hard. It wasn't like I used Mr Pointy. Or Mr Bolty. Or even a pointed stick. Sheesh. *Stomps off in a huff and sits on the couch, pouting* *puddley eyes* *rubs bruised area where strong Anne poked harder than she thought she did* *sniffles* *toddles sadly off to play in Three Year Old Corner**

Note: grateful that the bad Mexican Food just made me disgusted, not actually sick.
Still mourning what was a nice little dive, dammit.
Julia *sigh*

Well, it looks like we may actually get winter weather.
I'd be fine with the 3-6 inches of snow, it's the possible 1/4" of ice preceeding it that I could live without.
14 degrees on Saturday too -- the Room At The Inn people have already contacted Jim to ask if we can take in extras on Saturday night. He said yes, so he'll drive the church's 15 seater van but if you can't stay on the road .... Also, wondering whether the food-providers will show up.
The worst part is, having lived through an ice storm and 3 days without power (way better than some) he wants to make sure we have some fire wood available. So this is me stalling on going out into the yard to pick up sticks (all over) for kindling and roll a few logs down the hill toward the back door.
Yuck.
Fortunately it will be back in the 40's by Monday so a pretty quick melt off.
eta: Although, just to make if "more fun" for the school officials they are now saying the really back stuff might not start until after noon (not afternoon; after "noon") on Friday. Theoretically if it holds off long enough you could fit the school day in ..... or, you could call off school and have it mostly dry or rain until mid afternoon with everyone 2nd guessing.

I know someone posted about Logo showing Buffy, but did you guys know that MTV is showing Buffy on weekday mornings?

I'm leaving work in a couple of hours for a long weekend. My home internet has been on the fritz for a couple of days, so unless I can figure out what's going on before Nick comes home, I'll be offline, too. Hopefully, all it needs is a reboot of the modem. I am having S'cubie-disconnection withdrawal, and with Nick gone, it's been twice as bad.

I know someone posted about Logo showing Buffy, but did you guys know that MTV is showing Buffy on weekday mornings? Yes, because I don't get LOGO but I do get MTV. IT was Lover's Walk this morning. Why do you think after several years it's suddenly being shown on 2 channels? Did the residuals suddenly go down? It also seems like both channels pretty much skipped seasons 1 and 2 and started in with season 3 episodes --- although LOGO isn't necessarily showing them in order. Wondering what's up with that.

LOGO is trying the 'hook' angle. This week it was the hunky men of Buffy or something. Like, when isn't it about that? Showed the Gem of Amara/Poophead Parker and Fear Itself eps back to back yesterday, tho. Good pairing, that.

New syndication deal, I'd think. I know that- was it TNT or Fx, I can't remember?- held the syndication rights for the past two years and didn't show it, which sucked mightily. Julia, some day there will be an all-whedonverse network, I keep hoping.

I know I've been sucky lately about responding to individual posts, so I just want to make sure y'all know that I've been reading everything and wishing nothing but the best for the entire extended S'cubie family: mothers, fathers, grandsons, and the like.

LOGO showed the end of Season 6 repeatedly all weekend. I think they pick and choose. Though I thought it was weird that a gay and lesbian interest network went with the "lesbian death/insanity" arc that so offended many lesbian viewers.
