[SAT 9,609]

Oh man I've been so sick the last couple of days. 

I haven't vomited in about 10-15 years, but twice this year? 

 

[Scottish Mernymph 514]

Sorry to hear you're sick  SAT vomiting worse than awful,  feel better soon. 

 

Meeting with oncologist this morning to discuss mri results. ....over 75% of the liver taken over by the cancer so no way to physically treat at thispoint,  gonna have to resort to chemo, which will be 'more tolerable' oral but he'll be on it forever.  After all we've gone through to get to this point of us being together, & now this. ...just can't seem to catch a break in life or so it seems. 

 

Hope everyone else is groovy xx

Oh man, that is rotten news. I've had a bit of experience with liver issues, but only as it relates to the transplant process. My Husband was found to have a very small cancer on explant, but nothing like as much. If so much of it is involved, I believe it is non resectable.

 

I suppose the only good news is they have a heap of new drugs that are getting good results. I wish like you wouldn't believe I had something clever to tell you.

I  am so sorry to hear the update. I am glad you are here with him. It’s really hard when things just keep stacking up against you ..

So my “great hunters” (German Shepherd Dog and Australian Shepherd) are very good at killing moles in the yard.....

So, the last three days, I have found a dead baby opossum by the door (and one in the living room). HOWEVER.....today I found what I thought to be a dead baby opossum  in the living room.....only it wasn’t dead....then I found it’s sibling outside (dogs had it cornered).....and now I have two.....very much alive....baby opossums.....in a box....while Mr. Wonderful is listening to Opera.....

I’m living some bizarre Dali interpretation of melting minds with too much pollen and falling opossums kinda life with an Italian tragedy playing in the background.....

Mailman: Here's a bill for a $Many copay on that Doc visit.

Our docs tend to pay us to come visit them, si man.

They want the reputation of being the POTS Business Typhoon's doc, see man.

Prayers, si SM ma'am.

 

Have you & Mr. SM drawn up wills, healthcare powers of attorney, etc., huh SM ma'am?

Important to do/revise after marriage, si ma'am.

opossum

Except on St. Patrick's Day, the word is "possum," si and   JMany ma'am.

Exactly what kind of Arkansas resident are you, anyway, huh ma'am?

Mr. 2x+y is probably embarrassed, reform yourself now ma'am.

It was playing possum, duh and  JMany ma'am.  'Tis their nature, si JMany ma'am.

Congratulations on becoming a new mommy, si JMany ma'am!

 

As Ontarklar will attest, these things make great soups & stews once older or roadkill, si ma'am.

Just chillax with the philosophizin' and do your motherly duty, si JMany ma'am.

 

And the correct plural of opossum is opossa, si ma'am.

And the correct plural of possum is possa, si ma'am.

Latin training comes in handy all the time, oj tak.

Got our new water heater, whee man.

We ordered it by phone this morn, same wholesaler as last time man.

Hondureño handyman picked it up mid-afternoon, retrieve he man.

Mexican plumber installed it late afternoon, install he man.

 

Total cost = $Many, breakdown as follows man:

  Unit = $Many ($2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2x2x2x2+1), raw man

  Tax  = $Many ($2x2x2x2x2-1), death and taxes man

  Pickup = $Many ($2x2x2x2x2x2-2-2), retrieval man

  Install = $Many ($2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2+2+1), operable man

Total = $Many ($2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2x2+1), whee man.

 

Let's see anyone here get the whole smorgasbord for what a unit alone costs at retail, try THAT man!

Mrs. T-B. is in one of her moods, sigh man.

She says, "If you won't buy me a new casa, then this one will be completely changed," sigh man.

 

She plans to trash all our perfectly good furniture, sigh man.

She plans to throw out even more stuff, unnamed but sigh man.

 

Most immediately, she plans to have her intrusive maid here for 2 days, disaster man.

Maid is guaranteed to make us go ballistic-aysheep, Many% certainty man.

She touches our stuff when she's not supposed to, grrr man.

She doesn't replace stuff where it was, grrr man.

She considers trash-bags with ONE ITEM in them to be throw-out items, wasteful she man.

We are lucky not to have cerebrally hemorrhaged after her past visits, grrrRRRRR man.

However, we never have any control over her invitation, presence, or activity, sigh man.

 

As preemptive action, we cleaned up a little of our bedroom floor, probably necessary man.

However, this is totally unnatural behavior that cannot possibly be continued, violation of Self man.

We told Mrs. T-B. that we will clean our areas a little at a time, not at her whim man.

We wonder if this will register lastingly, pessimistic we man.

Never trust anything that bleeds for 2 weeks yet does not die, no man.
