Listing

You startled me
In not so much your words,
But your approach.
It was fast
And filled my head
With nonsense words
And warmth
When you weren’t there.
So, I went under
And swallowed
The surge. And above
My head is swirling water.
My hand slapping at the surface,
Desperate for structure
Steep stone. Then
My fingers finding rooted edge
Holding ground,
Finally. Almost out of breath
When I pulled myself up.
Entwined in mine, fingers
Not rooted mass, but flesh.
That took the shape
Of mysteries ability
To suddenly deliver me
Upon the edge was all
That I was meant to be.

Crap, this is so hard. Just know that it is very serious.

mayo,

l. is one of the "st. louis lovelies", one of the women i met there at that show. she, j., and i were all in the post-show line together, and kept annoying the security guards by standing around in the parking lot talking. *grin*

the blog has changed with time, and maybe we don't all get together and chat as much as we used to...but they're my blogbelieve sisters, all the same.


i want to stand in line with both of them again.



good night, mayo.

For Lisa;

I am very sad to read of your illness. My thoughts and prayers are with you. You hold on tight there. *hugs*

For Jen;

My thoughts are with you as well. Try to get some rest, and not be so hard on yourself. You are an exceptional friend to Lisa, and many here.

ergoproxy said...

hello all

I'm home from work and really hoping and praying L will pull through this
I know doctors will be doing everything they can
I hold her, her parents and J up to God and ask that he protects and heals them all

I have titoring soon so I can't stay long

well just got a call that my student can't come so I have no titoring!!
I love it, but I like having time to myself too

Greetings and Salutations ladies on this very somber day. I just wanted to say how sadden I am to hear about Lisa's condition and say that my thoughts and prayers are with her and her family right now.

I'm praying that she pulls through this and may God help her recover from this ordeal as quickly as possible.

Hey all.

What an amazing, encouraging place this has been today/tonight. My heart is warmed by all the love, the caring, the concern for Lisa. I sent this email to a few of you, but I thought I'd post it here so all could read. It's actually part of the email, the part with all the info on Lisa.
*******
thank you all so very very much for your prayers, good vibes, positive energies, etc towards her, because it has all worked!!! As the nurse said, she's not out of the woods yet, but she's turned around so very well. When I saw her last, Lisa's blood pressure was first 114/53, then 99/67 (when the ambulance delivered her to the ER, it was 74/47. At one point tonight it was 100/22.). Pulse was about 100, still a little fast, but that's to be expected in this kind of situation. Her oxygen saturation was 98-100%, which is EXCELLENT, and sure beats the Hell out of her 70% initially. And it means she's basically breathing on her own and not relying on the ventilator as much. Lastly on the stats, her breaths per minute rate was 20 (high normal) as opposed to about 60, I think was the highest it got. That was like panting, not deep breaths at all.
So, she IS improving, thank the Good Lord above! The one diagnosis they're all but definite about is double pneumonia: both lungs are full. They have a ventilator in her that they've been suctioning out the gunk from, and she's on about a bazillion antibiotics for that. They've been drawing blood, running various tests regarding her heart status, and will do an EKG in the morning (well, later today). There's nothing been said about her heart, so I don't know anything to tell you, sorry. I'll be passing info through SanDee during the week, she's been my invaluable right hand today. *big hugs*
If anyone wants the address of the hospital, let me know and I'll send it to you. Lisa's more than likely going to be there quite a while.
*******
I don't really have much else to say right now. I'm exhausted, brain-dead, and still worried, but I'm not as scared as I was. As I prayed tonight, each time I heard, "No, she'll be fine," or "She is improving as we speak." Now, I know not everyone here is a believer, but let me tell you, my faith becomes stronger every day, especially when things like this happen.

I'll do my best to update every night, and will talk to Elena throughout the day so she'll have news as well.

Thank you all, from every blue that wrote to every anon that gave their good wishes as well. Each and every word is appreciated and treasured.

Goodnight, everyone. God bless you all.

this is a song that I first heard so many many years ago, I used to go on our church youth camp each year and the leaders would play this song, at full volume at 6am through the dorms to wake us up. I still remember those first notes echoing through the cold quiet hall welcomes by the moans and groans of unwillingly awoken girls, echoed in the boys dorm too. It holds a very firm place in my heart
They're coming to take me away by Xiv Napoleon
Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to leave because I'd go berserk?
Well, you left me anyhow and then the days got worse and worse and now you see I've gone completely out of my mind
And, they're coming to take me away, ha, ha
They're coming to take me away, ho, ho, hee, hee, ha, ha
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away, ha, ha

You thought it was a joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I had said that losing you would make me flip my lid, right?
You know you laughed
I heard you laugh, you laughed, you laughed and laughed and then you left but now you know I'm utterly mad
And, they're coming to take me away, ha, ha
They're coming to take me away, ho, ho, hee, hee, ha, ha
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, ha, ha

I cooked your food, I cleaned your house and this is how you pay me back for all my kind unselfish loving deeds, huh?
Well, you just wait, they'll find you yet
And when they do, they'll put you in the a.s.p.c.a, you mangy mutt
And, they're coming to take me away, ha, ha
They're coming to take me away, ho, ho, hee, hee, ha, ha
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away, ha, ha
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, ha, ha
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men...

much love EP xx

well this was another song, probably better known and again and one I remember from so long ago, and I'm sure it'd be special to you too
Bobby (Boris) Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers
Monster Mash
I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise


He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash


From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes


They did the mash
They did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the monster mash


The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his son


The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"


They played the mash
They played the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They played the mash
It caught on in a flash
They played the mash
They played the monster mash


Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"


It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
The monster mash
And it's a graveyard smash
It's now the mash
It's caught on in a flash
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash


Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you


Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash
The monster mash
And do my graveyard smash
Then you can mash
You'll catch on in a flash
Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash


sing along
lotsa love EPxx

Good morning/afternoon/evening Mayo, SS, song thief Ergo, Em, J!!!, Amy, Sweetcheeks, Miranth, Martha, Elena, TJ, FASC, Possum, Carrie, Cupcake; various anons, watchers and lurkers... everyone!

J: Thank you, so much, for keeping us informed. It was such a relief to hear L was doing better. I'll keep her, and you, in my thoughts and in my prayers for as long as needed (and thensome)! My love to the both of you!!!!!

Elena: Thank you, too!

Anonymous said...

I want to say that I'm a little mad at Carrie for what she said to Amy last night. I know Amy already forgave her for it but it was in bad taste. To say "blog politics" and then the first person you think of is Amy? Not nice. It would have been better if you didn't mention her at all. Why did you even mention her?


Most importantly I just read about OPL.

First I want to say that it's OBVIOUS who is here sending prayers and hoping for the best and obvious who ISN'T. I notice a certain four or five people aren't even here to support her and OPJ. I'm not suprized but I still find it disgusting.

MAYO AND SS, I HOPE YOU ARE WATCHING WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. WHO IS BEING SUPPORTIVE AND WHO IS NOT COMMENTING. I THINK IT CEMENTS ONCE AND FOR ALL WHO THE GOOD PEOPLE ARE AND WHO JUST DOESN'T CARE ABOUT OTHERS.

Because I don't see any "porchies" here offering love and support to OPJ.

OPJ goes through so much for her friend. Does anyone else here have any friends like that? Well, some of you do.... and you can tell. They are the ones who understand.

OPL is not OPJ's dog. She is her best friend. A human being.

It is obvious how much love OPJ has in her heart for her HUMAN friend. It is obvious how much stress she goes through and how much she sacrifices for her.

I guess some people don't understand that.

Lastly I think it would be decent of both SS and Mayo to publicly give their support to OPJ in this difficult time. Mayo, it's time for you to come in here and say something.

SS I know you will be here or to OPJ's personal blog.... if you haven't already.

It's obvious to me the special friendship that SS shares with OPJ. Maybe he just hasn't been around often. But he will be. And when he finds out what's going on, I believe it would cement their friendship for him to come out and say something supportive to OPJ.

And it would set a good example for the certain people who are NOT here offering OPJ support.

That is all.

Anonymous said...

Who saved you from drowning Mayo? Was it this place? Was it all of us collectively? Are you sad that this place can no longer provide the bouyancy you so desperately need?


This made me lmao!

Anonymous said...

Anon at 11:08 I wondered if an anon would "take it there" today and surprise you did! If you care so much for the OPs you wouldn't have. You just wanted to bitch about something and you found your chance.

Anonymous said...

Another thing I need to add.

OPJ please keep believing in the power of prayer. If others don't want to believe, I feel sorry for them. It is their loss. Prayer can and has accomplished so much healing in this world. OPL will be a miracle and certain people on this blog will be a part of that miracle.

But not all.

Sdock, Smoke, how would YOU feel if it was your sister laying in the hospital on a ventilator? Wouldn't you come here and hope that someone would be supportive of you? Do you not understand the power of helpful words. Or are you so caught up in your own "porch" that you can't even be bothered to try to help OPJ through her pain?

I am not even going to try to talk to Kapunua because I don't think she understands human friendship and attachments to humans. I seriously don't think she has any real friends, the way OPJ and OPL are friends.

And I'm sorry but in my opinion just doing karate with people, constantly hurting each other left and right, doesn't sound like "friendship".

But Sdock and Smoke, I am suprised.

OPJ keep praying. Others here kepe praying. You will get your miracles and OPL will pull through. You are strong. And you understand the value of HUMAN friendship and prayer.

Anonymous said...

I DO care about OPJ. That is much more than you can say for certain people here. I care about humans. I have actual friends .... actual emotions.

Anonymous said...

You get mad at Carrie for bringing up Amy yet you say this

Because I don't see any "porchies" here offering love and support to OPJ.

Carrie shouldn't have brought up Amy because it was in bad taste. Like saying "this makes blog politics look stupid, no offense Amy" as if she was somehow at fault.

Actually Amyranth is one of the people here who cares alot about this blog and the people on it.

The porchies obviously don't.

When they post a poem a riot ensues. Could you imagine if they came here and wished L well? You know what would happen. You are the one gripping because they haven't said anything. You would be the first to grip if they did come and say something. You know this is the truth. You should not try and make people feel guilty. They have no reason to feel guilty.

Anonymous said...

They have EVERY reason to feel guilty.

How would they feel if it was their friend, or their SISTER laying in there? You can bet that OPJ would come here and wish them well.

They wouldn't be coming on here and making people feel GUILY that didn't comment. You are trying to make L's sickness into some twisted and hurtful thing which make you the guily one. Oh BTW this is not Fimble. You shouldn't really call people out should you?

I just spoke to J and she wanted me to let you all know that Lisa is continuing to improve. The heart specialist still hasn't been in to see her but her blood pressure and oxygen levels are good.

toujours said...

that's so good, elena. i got off work early today and am online at the library -- just checked my email and saw your email there and j.'s -- it makes me so happy that she is improving. :)


now, i'm not interested in a debate -- i have other things to do and i can't be online long -- but i would like to point something out to the anon who is angry at kapunua and sdock and smoke for not offering their support: putting aside the obvious fact taht they are rarely here these days and therfore may not even know that l. is in the hospital, how do you know that they haven't just sent emails of concern to j., rather than posting comments here?

please remember that you only see half of blogbelieve here at mayo's. we all have each other addresses now. you can draw no accurate conclusions without all the information.

just a word of advice.

toujours said...

wow. i just don't poroofread anymore, do i?

*facepalm*

toujours said...

okey doke, gotta go. see you all later tonight.

isn't it a relief, mayo? and l. will continue to improve, this i hope and believe. :)

ciao!

farawaysoclose said...

hey guys!

just wanted to say thanks so much for the updated info on OPL from anyone who has updated.

I was catching up through comments and email and it was so scary at one point. i am so glad i didn't go through that in real time, it was bad enough doing it in catch up time!! my thoughs go out to OPL and J who have been through a horrific time by the sound of things!

hi elena and TJ, and anyone else around.

and to the anon(s) that is/are shit stirring here over OPL's illness, and whether or not certain people have commented etc, that's low. you have no idea what is going on in other's lives. don't judge people when you have no clue. i'm sure L would not want you to be doing that shit. i just find that so off, it's unbelievable!

well said TJ above also!

cupcake lovely to read you around, and Emily (although i don't think i have ever been around real time with you?) but never mind.

hi to everyone else.

*waves* to mayo and SS!

ERGO!! glad i refreshed before posting cos i've been hanging around google images for a while!

is it Wednesday morning already with you?!

actually don't answer that i know it is, but anyway...

ergoproxy said...

lol fasc, the time zones still amaze me too

yep I'm getting sorted to go see my student, no work today!! yay!!

did you ahve a good mother's day?

ergoproxy said...

well how about that...there is a snake climbing about on our vege garden fence, must be hunting frogs

farawaysoclose said...

i had a lovely Mother's day thanks ergo! i slept in and then late afternoon mr bloke took the kids out to the beach and then to MacDonalds, and i went to see Watchmen by myself. really enjoyed it. thought the guy that played Rorschach was out of this world.

farawaysoclose said...

you have too many scary animals in Oz ergo!!

ergoproxy said...

lol isn't time by yourself a wonderful gift! It's something mum's so rarely get
glad you had a good time

the snake is just a tree snake, they are harmless, lots of them around, as we have such a frog friendly place, so they have plenty of food
they are thin and black with a greeny yellow belly
they climb and are amazing to watch as they don't worry about people so you can get up (within reason)close

farawaysoclose said...

time alone is a fucking miracle these days ergo!! it's quite fantastic when i get that. you know what it's like, you can barely go for a piss without a child appearing in the doorway saying "Mummy, blah blah blah."

fucking unbelieveable!!

i'm not actually scared of snakes or spiders, well of the harmless variety.

but wasps and hornets and bees (although bumble bees are pretty much OK) i shit my fucking pants at! seriously awful for me.

elena said...

Another quick update before I take off...

Lisa is doing well but please send some kind thoughts and prayers Jen's way. She is at the same hospital but right now with her sister. Her brother-in-law has suffered a heart attack and is in surgery. I can't being to imagine the stress she is under right now.

I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks

ergoproxy said...

oh you'd have a great time over here...lol we have waaaaay too much wildlife

I am only scared of big spiders, everything else I have a healthy respect for if it can hurt or kill me!

and are kids programmed to need stuff when the phone rings? when you bathe?, toilet?, try and cook dinner? in a checkout line?.....etc

I'm sure there must be a switch on em somewhere but buggered if I can find it!!

I have to go, nice to have a quick chat, hope the rest of your night and tomorrow are good

see ya!!

ergoproxy said...

oh for goodness sake!!

I really hope ehr bro in law comes through ok, that is so much to have to deal with all in one go

elena if you talk give her my very deepest best wishes
I'm out for a few hours, text me if there is anything else, see you when I get back

I will tell her Ergo. She sounded very upset and I am worried about her.

Be back in a few hours. Take care everyone.

Yeah, RIGHT.

"how do you know that they haven't just sent emails of concern to j., rather than posting comments here? "

Again, YEAH, RIGHT.

Stop making excuses. THEY DO NOT CARE.

It is obvious here WHO cares. You can see by who came in and sent their thoughts and prayers out to OPJ and OPL.

Notice that they sent thoughts and prayers out to Anima and PH when they lost people.

But to OPJ, hmm, nothing.

I just hope that Mayo and SS are paying attention here.

what does it matter to you who offers support to L and J? I am certain they are not seeking sympathy and this is not a giving support competition

friends will support each other and others won't. the same happens in the real world. if it is not given freely then it is worthless.

honestly, it seems to me that you want to divert attention from L. is that your plan?

I have to admit, though last night Carrie's comment about "this puts blog politics in perspective, no offense Amy" made me laugh.

Well good for you being able to laugh on hearing such terrible news!

Lastly I think it would be decent of both SS and Mayo to publicly give their support to OPJ in this difficult time. Mayo, it's time for you to come in here and say something.

You really aren't doing the OPs any favors. I'm sure Mayo and SS would be more than happy to give their best wishes to Lisa and Jen but it looks bad when you are more or less demanding they do it. Surely a message of support means more when it is given freely. If it was me lying in the hospital, I would not appreciate you writing comments like the one above. I think it does more harm then good. Remember Mayo and SS don't come here every day like most of us do. If/when they find out what has happened to Lisa and if/when they comment, it would be nice to know they are doing it because they wanted to, not because they felt obliged. After your comment, the OPs will never know for sure and that's a shame.

IMHO SS cares about both of the OPs and if he hasn't already shown his support to them I'm sure he will as soon as he finds out about the situation.

Hey to anyone here, just got back home. I am so glad to hear that L is improving greatly. I sent out some prayers and good thoughts to her and J last night, so I hope it helped.

All my best wishes to J's brother-in-law. I hope he improves after the heart surgery




Sugarplum: I had an okay day at school. I got my middle eastern test back, and it's a C- for me. I thought I did better than that, but I guess it's better than an F.

i had to watch "twilight" tonight. had to.

one of my co-workers is wholly addicted to the stephanie meyer franchise, and in a (much rued) act of sympathy, i promised to read the books so that she would have someone to talk about them with.

i had managed to delay the fateful moment, but today she forced the dvd on me.

on a completely different note, i feel awful for j.! she must be out of her mind with worry, now with her brother-in-law in the hospital, too. if she wasn't already in my prayers, i'd be adding her right now.

Hi tj, be glad that you didn't have to read the books. They're horrible, not to mention boring.

At least there's lots of eye candy in the film?

Yeah, idk. That's what I kept telling myself when my cousin dragged me to see it.

good think i'm a fast reader -- i'll just zoom through them as quickly as i can.

hey anon -- maybe i'm out-of-the-loop, but none of the actors did anything for me in that film.
i'm always ready to waste time with eye-candy, but alas, nothing there.

Anonymous said...

Oddly enough, I found Bella's father attractive. And the actor who played Jasper is really a doll when he isn't all pasty faced and wearing that awful hair and dark contacts.

That sparkly nonsense was just too much to handle, though.

I thought James was hot, but that's about it. Even when I was a fan, I didn't really gave a damn about Edward or Jacob. I thought they both sucked.

anon, i have to laugh, because i almost said the same thing! the father was attractive, in a messy way, wasn't he?

i amused myself by trying to identify the places they filmed the various scenes. i'm pretty sure the prom scene was filmed at snoqualmie falls...

and the sparkles...

what? they have fish scales?

Amyranth said...

Teej, from what I understand, they're actually supposed to be made of marble, or something equally as well thought out.

I personally was going to take a bunch of dollar store sunglasses to the movie theatre, and smear glitter glue on the inside of the lenses so that viewers could see the movie in true SparkleVision. Only $5 a pop!

But alas, the director beat me to it.

marble, huh.

oh-kay.

glad you survived the experience amyranth. :)

hallo amy, what's up with you?

Amyranth said...

I actually... haven't seen it. I'm going on second hand experience and various synopses of the books from other online readers. Oy.

Well, if you're gonna read them, borrow them from the library. Really.

And I'm not bad. Just finished downloading an update onto the ol junkbox so that it doesn't explode on April 1st. There's some bit of malware going around that supposed to activate then, and it's a major security risk for anyone's information on a computer.

well, it's not like i haven't read bad books before. *heh*

exploding 'puters? hmmm...

Amyranth said...

Teej, so far, it doesn't sound like a pretty virus at all.

Conficker.C is what it's called. If you're running Windows, you can download the updates and patches from there. If you're on a Mac... well to be honest, I have no idea what they do for Virii on a Mac. :/

And you know, if you want to get the worst part over with, start with book 4. Breaking Dawn, 'round about Chapter 10. Or just shuffle through until you see the name Renesmee Carlie. Or, as I like to call her, Edwob Charlisle.

Or, you could just google Cleolinda Twilight and read her synopses. They're funny.

mayo,

it's so much easier to go to sleep when you have good news, don't you think? *grin*

so i'm for dreamland, but do you remember me mentioning that camaro for sale awhile back? it's still parked there, in that yard, and i still look at it as we go by each morning (and it still doesn't have a flywheel...whatever that is). maybe it really will be my first car.

except that somewhat further along, there is suddenly a green kawasaki up for sale in a whole different yard.

four wheels, mayo, or two?

it's a difficult decision, indeed.

*grin*



it's good to feel optimistic. i know that the time will roll around again eventually where i feel like nothing is possible, but right now is when everything happens.

well, technically, right now is when i'm going to say good night and go crawl into bed.

*heh*


good night mayo. sweet dreams to you, too.

Original Punk J said...

Hello everyone. This is the update I've sent some of you. The rest, here it is for you too:
***********
Well, today was a good day for Lisa. Her vital signs were mostly stable,
they've weaned her blood pressure meds down to one kind, her pulse ran about
72 (down from 101 yesterday), oxygen saturation level at 94 and above,
breaths per minute 20 ALL DAY (except when her parents went in once, and
then again when I went in by myself. The nurses seem to think it's her
reaction to our voices and touches. Blood pressure was a little wavy, not
so much roller-coastery like yesterday. It spiked once when I was with her,
up to 136/93, but that's the highest I've seen it today. Mostly it's been
around 110/78, fluctuating but not drastically.
The doctor that saw her this AM said that yes, she DOES have bilateral
pneumonia (well, yeah, we figured that out!), and he believes that she had a
minor heart attack sometime in the past. One of her enzymes was elevated,
the one that indicates an attack. He's called for a cardiologist consult,
just to make sure. When I left, he'd not been in to see her yet.
The best news out of all this is: Lisa woke up while her second-shift nurse
was in the room this afternoon, not happy and hurting
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally badly. The nurse talked to her about where she
was and why she was there, that Lisa was extremely sick but getting better
with every minute, and that she had a lot of people out in the waiting room
who loved her and wanted her to get better. Lisa nodded through all this,
basically saying, Yeah, I get it, and I'm gonna beat this shit. And then
she went back to sleep. They're keeping her sedated so that she can get the
rest and the healing that she needs.
Last night she went into full respiratory arrest for about 3 hours. They
thought that was it for her, that she wouldn't survive the night. And then
all those prayers and good thoughts, etc, came rolling in, and look at her
now. I'm so grateful, relieved, and happy, I cannot tell you in words.
Thank you all so much, again.
My B.I.L. is actually doing really well, better than Lisa, I think. He had
a fairly good sized heart attack this afternoon, but it happened while he
was at his dr's office. They did the EKG and called the ambulance to take
him to the ER (at a different hospital, for Heaven's sake, couldn't even go
to the same one as Lisa!). He has 100% blockage in his right coronary
artery, so they put two stents in and are going to monitor his progress with
those. He also has either two or three other blockages, 95% each, that will
eventually be stented. The dr will see if at some time in the future Jim
will need bypass surgery. But overall he's doing really well. So, no
surgery today. (I have to say, the hospital he's in sucks as far as giving
directions or information. Lisa's is much much better. And the staff there
is nicer. :D)
Oh my cow, I'm so exhausted. Just a few more places to visit on the web,
and then this little Punk is a-goin' to the bed! Had 2 good hours and 1
choppy hour of sleep this morning. NOT A GOOD THING!!!
Talk to you all tomorrow, maybe some of you tonight. Take care, all, and
thanks one more time.
love, jen

What in the everloving FUCK are you talking about?
And WHY is this an issue for you today? It's not an issue for me, ever. My best friend, whom I've known half my life, is lying in ICU with both lungs full of shit, a possible heart problem, a definite minor past heart attack, a ventilator down her throat, sedated so she can heal (I can't even ask her anything, she can't respond right now), and YOU drag out this petty, stupid SHIT about me getting mad at SS over I don't even know what.

Trust me, this is NOT the week to get on my bad side.

Oh yes, I took time out from being in ICU waiting at one hospital for four hours, then driving 10 miles or so to traipse all over another hospital trying to find my family, and then spending time in the CCU with them, in order to COME TO A BLOG AND DEMAND SYMPATHETIC COMMENTS BE MADE BY SS AND MAYO.
Oh absolutely, I have no regard for the ill, especially if they're my best friend and my brother in law. What a small, one-track-minded, repetitious thing you are.
