Mild positive hysteria ensues again.

My head hurts. I need a stiff drink.

Wow. What a ride, Cassie. No wonder your head hurts. Congratulations to you and your Mom! (As a side note... I registered as a bone marrow donor years ago but have never received a call. I think that's a good thing. )

I lost my diamond earring down the drain, it's the 2nd one I have lost that way, told husband I need diamonds big enough that they won't go down the drain (could get a drain catcher i guess haha). I hurt my tooth and didn't feel good all day. I'm happy it is Monday

Ohmygosh, I've lost two diamond earrings and two diamonds from two different rings over the years. I still feel sick about it, as I'm sure you do too. So now I get my rings checked regularly. As for the earrings.... my husband gave me diamond earrings for Mother's Day last year because he knew I'd be heartbroken about not being with my Mom or my kids for the first time in forever. I had always told him I don't want real diamonds because I was scared I would lose them. But these ones are different. The post is like a finely threaded screw, and the backs wind on for maybe a million times so they don't fall off. You'd have to lose your entire earlobe to lose these puppies. You can get the jeweller to reset the stone to this new type..... when your husband goes to buy the replacement earring.

Actually it's funny, this time I was kind of philosophical about losing the earring, it was kind of like - well there goes another earring

So it's a balmy 8-10 degrees here in cowtown, we are having a chinook and they are warning about snow tonight on some channels and on others, clear and chilly tomorrow. It does not matter since I'm not really leaving the house much until Spring

My brother and I both registered while we were in university (mid-90s) on the unrelated bone marrow registry. He got a phone call in the late fall (2007)-- at first he thought something had gone wrong with Mom's transplant that had just taken place, until they explained that he was one of four possible donors for someone. I need to ask him if anything will be happening with that, I think he had to go have some blood taken again and they would get back in touch with him.

Just quit my job people.. it was a long time coming.. thankfully my hubby works at the same company so i'll still keep my health benefits.. On to bigger and better things.. although I have no idea at this point what those are!

Bravo woman! Been thinking of doing the same thing m'self. Better things are on the horizon, no doubt!

Cassie: Wow, what a see-saw kind of day you've had! Congrats on the ratio news...let's hope it stays going in that direction.
