Total Serious Happy Thread

[Gemini Cricket]

And no one deserves to be more than you.
There is a part of me that's expecting Ashton Kutcher to call and say I was punk'd.

:D

[Morrigoon]

I gotz "Employee of the Month" at the theatre. 1st time. I'm so proud...

Congrats

[Morrigoon]

Dad just called me about his PET scan results... cancer free!

[Snowflake]

Goonie, that is FABULOUS news!

[Gemini Cricket]

Dad just called me about his PET scan results... cancer free!
Awesome!
Good news.
:)

[katiesue]

Great news Goonie!

And way to go Brad!

[madmonkeygirl]

I just got VIP Circleside Package ticket for Anaheim for Bon Jovi at the Honda Center yay :) 1 show down 1 more to go maybe 2 (if i go for Vegas thru the fan club) now to get my friend hers since she couldn't get one and everyone else of us did.

[Disneyphile]

Dad just called me about his PET scan results... cancer free!YES!!!! :D

[innerSpaceman]

Yay! No Cancer!

Yay! Bon Jovi #8,612!

Yay! Crickets can be as twitterpated as rabbits!

[Deebs]

:snap: :)

Other Vitalstatistix should be coming forthwith as soon as they are discovered. :evil:

You naughty! :D

Dad just called me about his PET scan results... cancer free!

Abundant happy stuff!! I'm so glad for you and your dad. (And your fabulous shiny and secret dress)!

I just got VIP Circleside Package ticket for Anaheim for Bon Jovi at the Honda Center yay :)

Score!

[alphabassettgrrl]

We've actually been planning the wedding for some months already, just hard to broadcast it w/out a ring on my finger.

I didn't get my rings until ... 2 months or so before we got married. We were engaged for over a year with no ring.

Dad just called me about his PET scan results... cancer free!

Congrats!!!

Conga-rats to you, too!

[madmonkeygirl]

I scored this morning for Bon Jovi at Staples Center. I managed to pull up VIP Circleside package thru the fan club. How i love the fan club. SO i'm in the same spot as Anaheim right in front of the outer circle catwalk. :) I am so excited. I was able to get my friend a ticket 8 rows from the outer circle catwalk so she is 7 rows behind me not bad considering they removed half of our seats for this outer circle ramp thingy this tour. Is it Feb and March yet? Ticket stress is over with. Vegas i'm not caring where i sit so no more checking the fan club sitting in front of the laptop.

[Chernabog]

Dad just called me about his PET scan results... cancer free!

Woohoo!!! Oh I am so happy for you and your dad! See, it's been a good month so far :) :)

[Prudence]

I.


AM ON.


VACATION!!!!!

[Morrigoon]

Just found an old friend of Cherny and I on FB :)

[Morrigoon]

My mom just called to say that she and my sister-in-law (ex-sister-in-law but we still consider her family) are going to come out in a couple weeks to shop with me for wedding stuff and help with planning!

[Strangler Lewis]

I should read this thread more often. Congratulations on the good news!

[Moonliner]

I.


AM ON.


VACATION!!!!!

Just for today, I shall not hate. Jealous as all hell? Definitely.


Have a Fantabuwonerous time doing whatever you are doing wherever you are doing it for as many times as your are doing it!

Oh and photos. Photos will be required at some point...

[Moonliner]

My mom just called to say that she and my sister-in-law (ex-sister-in-law but we still consider her family) are going to come out in a couple weeks to shop with me for wedding stuff and help with planning!

Like getting registered someplace online perhaps?

[cirquelover]

So today I found out that they removed all the bad tissue, the edges are clean, and I can hope for the best! Of course in four months you go back again but for now no C. That takes a huge load off of my mind.

To top that off, after Elton John was canceled for tonight I get to go se BB King! I have 1 reserved balcony seat, front corner and front row, plus it's in a small intimate 21+ club. I can even have a drink if I want since the boys are dropping me off and hopefully picking me up!
The boys are going to hit Ptown by themselves. The giggling one says Dad is taking him to Hooters. Of course Dad told me they were going to the arcade that has Guitar Hero night tonight. I'm sure they'll have better stories than me:eek:

[Morrigoon]

Like getting registered someplace online perhaps?

Well, we pretty much have all the household goods we need, so we're going to do the Disney Honeymoon registry. Problem is, you can't set up the registry till you have hotel reservations, and we can't make our hotel reservations until he secures our flights. So yeah, registry will be set up once I'm able. Hopefully soon, since invites are going to have to go out like next month.

[alphabassettgrrl]

Yay for the good stuff! Goonie, I can't imagine planning a regular wedding. Our "mini" wedding was enough to drive me out of my mind, so it's great that you're getting help!

[Morrigoon]

I'm planning a regular wedding on a mini wedding budget... eep!

[Disneyphile]

Mufasa is adapting to his new home really well! Emmy is the only one left who's still hissing at him, but he's quite happy and Alex was right - he's clingy. I should have named him Static. But, I love it. He follows me around, sleeps against me, sits in my lap, and loves to be held. And, he purrs almost constantly. It's loooooove! :)

[Morrigoon]

Awwwwwww.... kitty!

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I hope Ken still gets some time with you ;)

[Ghoulish Delight]

After several false starts, I finally made progress on constructing the closet storage system yesterday. It was fist delayed when I realized I would have to start by constructing some templates and jigs. Further delayed by the sudden increased time commitment at work. And finally nearly scrapped as I discovered that I simply do not possess the equipment or expertise to build with the precision necessary for my original design.

However, I went back to the drawing board, simplified the design and finally got a procedure down to ensure precise enough cuts for the new design, and in a few short hours yesterday turned out a couple satisfactorily completed components. From here on out, it should be a lot of lather-rinse-repeat and I once again have confidence in my odds of completion (though I think I'm going to scale back slightly - drawers are feeling like a daunting task).

[~MS~]

GD, why not collect a set of wicker baskets and make the unit design to hold them and skip the drawers?

[Ghoulish Delight]

Because A) I hate wicker and B) if a rabbit got into the room, it would not last very long.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Yeah, our dislike of wicker tends to hamper (get it?) our storage options.

[JWBear]

Ow.

[Morrigoon]

Have you checked the unfinished wood aisle at Michael's? That might be a solution as well (and you could paint it whatever swanky colors you like!)

[CoasterMatt]

I'm just happy I'm not dead.

[mousepod]

I'm just happy I'm not dead.

Is there a story behind that statement, or is it just a general feeling?

Either way, we're happy you're not dead, too.

[Kevy Baby]

(though I think I'm going to scale back slightly - drawers are feeling like a daunting task).There are places to by pre-made drawers such as this (http://www.drawerbuilder.com/premade-drawer-boxes-c-134.html).

Also, I might be able to make them for you: I actually like making dove-tail boxes.

1001 Rabbit Tales is one big clip show in the form of a movie. The animation that was drawn for the movie itself (to link all the clips) is kinda crappy. But I gotta say, it highlights some of the best Looney Tunes cartoons ever. LT makes me laugh really hard sometimes. Not many cartoons do that to me nowdays. Maybe 'South Park'.


Songs performed by the frog:
"Hello! Ma Baby"
music & lyrics by Ida Emerson & Joseph E. Howard(1899)
"The Michigan Rag"
music & lyrics by Michael Maltese and Chuck Jones (original song written for the cartoon)
"Come Back to Erin"
music & lyrics by Claribel (pseudonym of Charlotte Alington Barnard),1866
"I'm Just Wild About Harry"
music & lyrics by Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle(1921)
"Throw Him Down, McCloskey"
music & lyrics by John W. Kelly(1890)
"Won't You Come Over To My House"
Music by Egbert Van Alstyne(1906)
"Largo al factotum"
from "The Barber of Seville"
Composed by Rossini(1816)
"Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone"
lyrics & music by Sidney Clare, Sam H. Stept and Bee Palmer (1930)

I'm still trying to get a copy of "Wild Wife" - the one wherre she ends up whopping him with a rolling-pin marked "His" and saying "Little man, I've had a busy day".

It has been a glorious post-travel day of relaxation. Sleeping in, watching teevee, curling up with kitties, and after-glow of an enjoyable vacation.

There's a Vol. 6? Well bust my buttons. I had no idea. Thanks, Snowflake!

[Ghoulish Delight]

Listening to the new Animal Collective EP. 2nd time through today. Love.

Some ideas are brewing
The radio abides
With flying string
Old ideas worth doing
Are taking their time

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I got my coworkers to donate enough food and money for 4 fully loaded Thanksgiving baskets for hungry families. :)

[alphabassettgrrl]

Nice!

[Ghoulish Delight]

I'm about 80% done with the closet storage project. Very little construction left, mostly sanding, painting, and installation remains. I stand a good chance of completing this in time!

[Morrigoon]

I got a free h1n1 flu shot at work tonight. And it hurt the least of any shot I can remember. Those Disney nurses are good!

In other news, I think our registry is finally active :) And they no longer think we live in Afghanistan ;)

[Morrigoon]

Oh. My. God.

I got a UPS package today from Kiyonna Clothing (a plus size designer). Now, mind you, I didn't order anything from them, and whenever I've bought stuff from them, it's been in their actual physical location, and I took my purchases home that day, so it's not like I regularly get packages from them or anything.

Inside, a simple printed note saying "congratulations" and a brown lace dress that disneyphile and the girl that worked there both told me I should buy, but I didn't because I was being good. (My "purchases" that day were limited to the dollar value of the gift card they'd given me for winning their facebook Halloween costume contest). And if that didn't already blow me away, underneath it, under more tissue paper (oh yeah, packaged beautifully, of course), were two rhinestone "bride" tank tops and two very hot lacy pairs of underwear!

Holy cow.

Needless to say, I'll be running over to their store tomorrow with a bucket of peppermint breakup as a thank you gift.

[blueerica]

Never heard of them before, but after a little googling, wow... they've got some cute clothes!!

[Snowflake]

Goonie, that's awesome!

Also, thanks for the tipoff, I also have never heard of Kiyonna, seriously cute clothes! Maybe with Xmas bonus, if I get one!

[Disneyphile]

WOW! Now THAT is customer service. I'll be sure to shop there a bit more often when I can. :)

[JWBear]

My new computer arrived today! Over a week early! :happydance:

[alphabassettgrrl]

Got my new camera!!! Happy happy me! Nikon D-5000. Already started playing with it. Ordered a 2nd battery for it, but tomorrow at Disney I'll have to keep to the capacity of the one battery that came with it. I hope it's enough...

[Snowflake]

Ooh, I just bought a new poster! No, it's not Valentino, alas. It's graphically pleasing to me and satifies a desire of some years. It will need to go to the restorer to fix some previous poor restoration, but it's okay. Squee, I got it cheap, too! Circa 1920-1925. I've always loved the Paramount logo.

:D Merry Xmas to me!

1300

[Not Afraid]

That's beautiful!

[3894]

Gad, I love that poster! Great purchase, Snowflake.

[Alex]

Wow, I didn't realize that eMoviePoster.com existed way back then!

[Snowflake]

Wow, I didn't realize that eMoviePoster.com existed way back then!

VAM
If you've seen Hershenson's picture popping up (as it used to do on his weekley verbose emails) it was pretty scary. Kinda creepy/geeky. That said, he's made quite a success of selling posters.

[Nephythys]

Catching up-
SQUEEE Goonie! I need to find that pic from DP's wedding....hmmm

DP- that's so exciting-sounds fun!

GC- woot!

and my own Squee!!! Ria got a job- a good job-today! No more unemployment stress!!!!

[Morrigoon]

Yay!

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Nice find SF!

[lashbear]

Well, It looks like I'm not going to find a job before Christmas - but the happy part is we're now getting ready for our Christmas with the family in Forster.

We leave the day after my Birthday (21st) - I can't wait !!

[Andrew]

We leave the day after my Birthday (21st) - I can't wait !!
Your 21st birthday?

[lashbear]

I wish ! 21st is the date we're leaving for Forster.. :D

[alphabassettgrrl]

Yay for Ria, Nephy!

Enjoy your celebration, bear!

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Things are just...going very, very well. :) I can't stop babbling about how lucky I am in everything...perhaps if the 3rd trimester hormones really start kicking in I could end up in a big pile of happy tears.

I'm still glowing from the party last weekend. :D

[Disneyphile]

I just won a Facebook contest for Kiyonna Clothing. I get to pick a dress of my choice. I'm having trouble deciding. Any suggestions (http://www.kiyonna.com/plus-size-clothing/Dresses.htm)?

I like this one (http://www.kiyonna.com/plus-size-clothing/Cocktail/17082201) (in black), this one (http://www.kiyonna.com/plus-size-clothing/Maxi/13092803) (in black), and this one (http://www.kiyonna.com/plus-size-clothing/Little_Black_Dresses/14080901). The first and last ones are really awesome, and the second one is more "red carpet" - a little more formal, so wouldn't get as much use.

I hope to wear it at least a couple times before shrinking out of it. I'll be ordering their size 1, since it's a tad snug on me for now, so I'll get at least a few months from it. So, that might factor into not getting dress 2 as well - not sure when I'd wear a floor-length formal again in the near future.

Any thoughts? :)

[Morrigoon]

Did you win it for the regifting story? That was pretty funny.

[Morrigoon]

They're all great choices. I nearly bought the retro glam lace dress myself, so I'll put in a vote for that, but I also like your other two choices.

[Moonliner]

I hope to wear it at least a couple times before shrinking out of it.


Any thoughts? :)

Yes.

Yay You! :snap:

Congratulations and continued good luck.

I read your breastfeeding post. Maybe it's living in the Bay Area, but I can't believe there's still a decision tree there with two theoretically equally strong branches.

I'll also pass on the one bit of breastfeeding advice that somehow slipped through the cracks with us: don't eat chocolate or onions unless you want to listen to the protracted yowls of a gassed up baby.

I vote for #1. What story won this? Did I miss this? I wanna read it if you don't mind posting where it's at.

[JWBear]

I vote for #3.

[lashbear]

I think you should chose this one or this one, however this one's not your type.

[wolfy999]

#1 You'll get more use out of it
#2 No
#3 I love this one, it just looks like you

[Disneyphile]

Did you win it for the regifting story? That was pretty funny.

I vote for #1. What story won this? Did I miss this? I wanna read it if you don't mind posting where it's at.Kiyonna has a "12 Dresses for Christmas" contest on Facebook, where they post a new question each day, and select one reply as the winner.

Yesterday's question was:

What is the best gift you've ever re-gifted?

My reply:

I received a sculptured collectible plaque that depicted the birth of an orc from "Lord of the Rings". It was truly hideous and frightening. I re-gifted it to my new boyfriend for his birthday. He absolutely loved it, and I was happy to see it leave my home. Well, it ended back up in my home, since I ended up marrying him. It's now on our wall.

True story. :D

And, I'm also now thinking of this one in purple, since I've got the "assets" for it. ;) Cinch dress (http://www.kiyonna.com/plus-size-clothing/View_All_Dresses/14082202).

[Disneyphile]

I love gag gifts. Especially when you can give them anonymously.Yeah, but I was honest about this one. Although, anonymous is a lot more evil and fun. It's how I roll. :evil:

[cirquelover]

I think #3 says vavavoom and is very pretty but I also like the new choice too. I like the way the skirt part is cut, if that makes any sense.

1. That is the cutest story ever. Orcs are highly reprehensible and so hideous to behold; orc birthing sounds even more repulsive. But I don't remember ever seeing any female orcs, so maybe the depiction is more of a metamorphosis? Either way, no matter what this plaque looks like, it clearly deserves a place of honor on a wall of prominence in your home. I'd keep it over the bed if I were you. Best story I've heard in a long time.

2. Am I the only one who likes dress #2?

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I love gag gifts. Especially when you can give them anonymously.Hmmm...

[Disneyphile]

Ya know, it's almost like Kevy has something to confess maybe?

[Kevy Baby]

Oh, I have given anonymous gag gifts. For example, the hideous large (1' + tall) ceramic monkey with a mortar-board that I was given by my father-in-law when I graduated college. But nothing recent.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

*shines maglite in DP's face* 'Fess up! :p

It honestly isn't mine, but I know whose it is. However, I was one of the accessories in transporting said gift. :p

McRibs are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Disneyphile]

Oooooh yum! I love McRibs. They are one of the most disgusting, yet tasty junk food items around. I'll have to partake in one or two while they're around again. :)

[JWBear]

McD's at Garden Grove and Euclid. Just sayin'.

[katiesue]

I had my yearly McRib last week. I can really only have one about one a year.

[Alex]

McRib love (I'd tried them once before giving up pork, beef, and mystery meat) is almost as perplexing to me as religion. And the rapture it induces in people is also similar.

[Moonliner]

The McRib would be on my "Once in a lifetime" list. And I've already had the once.

[mousepod]

Like the Cadbury Creme Egg, the McRib is a "food" item that has the ability to create some kind of amnesia in me. Every year, I get excited that "they're back", and after my first bite, I realize I never need to eat one again.

I fell for the McRib again last week.

[Alex]

My Cadbury amnesia cycle is fortunately about 5 years long so I'm not reminded of their grossness more often than that.

If I still ate the relevant meats I wonder if I'd have a McRib amnesia period too.

[Ghoulish Delight]

I am proud to say I have never consumed a McRib. Ever.

As for Cadbury, I eat about 2 per year. And I adore both of them. I just don't need any more than that.

[JWBear]

Well, I love me some McRib. I had just the opposite reaction. I had almost forgot how yummy they are!

[€uroMeinke]

I've never had a McRib - perhaps next time I drive through the drive thru

[€uroMeinke]

I had a McRib, but it seemed to be missing it's yum - guess I prefer my ribs with, uh ribs...

[Alex]

Don't worry, apparently there's a fair chance you'll forget and want to try it again next time. That's what the sauce is, memory suppressant.

[Betty]

I'm usually the one up early in our house.

We do the same thing. I think that it is our parental perogative and one of the few ways to get back at our children for all the "fun" they've put us through all year :evil:

[JWBear]

I had a McRib again today! :)

[alphabassettgrrl]

DP- yay on winning a free dress!

Wolfie and Goonie- congrats on getting the holiday off!

YAY !!! Come visit us !

[lashbear]

And today, I get to go to the HUGE Casino in the city and experience their all-you-can-cram-into-yer-bell-air!! Buffet.

Seems it's some sort of special occasion today, but I can't think what... ;)

[Prudence]

I am having a happy, relaxing day at my folks' with the Rat. So nice to not have to run interference. I can just chill.

You're really banking on that global warming thing bringing back that primordial sea aren't you?

[Ghoulish Delight]

Major construction work is done in the nursery! Walls are painted; closet storage cabinet is built, painted, and installed; Ikea closet cabinet built and installed; other closet shelving/bars installed; window shade installed; valence curtain rod installed; rocking chair purchased and shlepped upstairs; hanging wire for wall decor installed.

I've been going nearly non-stop since Wednesday. I'm exhausted but feeling awesome. All that's left is installing a ceiling light, small decor items, and organizing the wonderful piles of stuff we've received. I'm shocked I made it to this point before New Years.

I'm totally seriously happy to have GD as my awesome husband.

still gotta tidy up and get the cosmetic stuff up before pics.

It sounds like you worked hard and accomplished a lot, good work! Plus it sounds like you have a very happy wife, extra special good job!

[Disneyphile]

So, I ordered the "retro glam" lace dress from the Kiyonna contest, in their 14/16 size equivalent. It arrived today. So, I figured I'd give it a try, and much to my surprise... it fits! It fits! It fits! 'Tis a tad snug in the boobs, but it still drapes in the tummy and hips. I'm probably approaching 16 sooner than I thought! :)

Talk about more incentive amd motivation to stay on track! :)

[Kevy Baby]

'Tis a tad snug in the boobs...As far as I am concerned, that is a good thing!

[Gn2Dlnd]

Snug in those boobs, mister!

[CoasterMatt]

It's the last day of Grinchmas!

[alphabassettgrrl]

Good for you, DP!!!

[Disneyphile]

Good for you, DP!!! Also down another 2 pounds. Broke through another second digit on the scale for a total of 18 pounds now! :)

[Morrigoon]

So, I ordered the "retro glam" lace dress from the Kiyonna contest

OMG! I just got that too! (Mine doesn't have the sparkly pin though, b/c it was one of the production samples, but essentially the same). Funny thing is, Kali and Gretz both also have that dress. It's faboo!

(Of course, mine's not as small as yours ;))

Wow! Popular!

Um, let's just promise to warn each other if wearing it to the same place. ;)

[blueerica]

I have a belly full of Indian food.

NOM NOM SAAG PANEER NOM...

[Alex]

Quite literally, while waiting for this page to load (it's been a slow site for me today, don't know if it's just me) I decided that when I go get lunch in about 10 minutes I'd get saag paneer at the corner place.

[Ghoulish Delight]

It's a saag paneer kind of day I guess (no, I did not have saag paneer for lunch).

[Snowflake]

I love saag paneer. Lucky you, Erica!

nom nom nom with naan naan naan

[Alex]

Sadly, the naan at the saag paneer place I went to is not very good. But I'll ignore that since the saag paneer and chicken tikka are both very nice takeout for lunch.

[CoasterMatt]

OK... I need to "reboot" my year, and I've got to see things in a different light- I'm totally seriously happy I didn't die this weekend, and I'm gonna do everything to make sure that I get out of this terrible funk I've been in.

[Morrigoon]

I have tablecloths for my wedding! And a tiara! And a basket for my flower girl! And cake cutters! And an empty bank account!

[blueerica]

Quite literally, while waiting for this page to load (it's been a slow site for me today, don't know if it's just me) I decided that when I go get lunch in about 10 minutes I'd get saag paneer at the corner place.

Excellent choice.

It's a saag paneer kind of day I guess (no, I did not have saag paneer for lunch).

It was - and helped make my day a bit better.

I love saag paneer. Lucky you, Erica!

nom nom nom with naan naan naan

I'm just happy that I was turned on to this place. Not much for great Indian food from what I've found. There's a place near where I live, but it's not super convenient to get to, and J doesn't seem to like Indian food much.

Sadly, the naan at the saag paneer place I went to is not very good. But I'll ignore that since the saag paneer and chicken tikka are both very nice takeout for lunch.

The naan wasn't all that great at this place, either. But as a first-impression, the food was excellent. I was particularly impressed with the saag paneer.

[Ghoulish Delight]

I have regained use of our garage as a place to park! Hooray, no more morning strolls to the car. :snap:

[Alex]

Did you ever verify whether the lion was painted on the blinds or not?

[Ghoulish Delight]

Heh, no, I never noticed it again. Damn.

[Gemini Cricket]

All this talk of Indian food is irrelevant to me. It's just naan of my business.

[Kevy Baby]

<groan>

[Ghoulish Delight]

<groan>You have no right, sir.

[JWBear]

You have no right, sir.

When has that ever stopped Kevy?

[wendybeth]

He's just jealous that GC beat him to it.

[Gemini Cricket]

Wow! I made Kevy groan! That's some sort of accomplishment.
:D

[Ghoulish Delight]

I have regained use of our garage as a place to park! Hooray, no more morning strolls to the car. :snap:
On this subject, I owe GC an apology. During the period when he lodged with us, on Tuesdays he was forced to crawl out of bed early to rescue his car from street sweeping because our two spots inside the complex were occupied by our cars, and the 6 guest spots in the complex were always taken. They do the entire neighborhood, both sides of the street, on the same day, so the only place he could find to park was in the nearby hospital parking lot which was not only 1/2 mile away, but cost $1.

Having forced myself out of our garage for a few months, I discovered....there are actually 18 other guest spots inside the complex that I was completely unaware of. And in those few months, not once did I have to park on the street as there was always at least one open spot. Even the night before street sweeping (although that was likely aided by the fact that the association recently amended the rules to allow us to park a car in front of our garages/car ports on street sweeping day...which also would have been nice were it in place while GC was here).

So GC, I apologize for my ignorance, and for my anti-social streak that keeps me from wanting anything to do with the people in our complex thus ensuring that I'd never have any reason to see anything that wasn't on the direct path from our back door, to the garage, and out the gate. And we owe you a few $. :gnome:

[Gemini Cricket]

On this subject, I owe GC*** an apology...

Oh nonononono. No apology needed. You and CP helped me out in such a big way when I was in such a bad way. I appreciate what you guys did and could never remotely be upset at y'all for anything.
:)


***This is, of course, unless you meant to type "GD" and typed "GC" by accident which happens from time to time around these parts. Which means you were talking to yourself which would further confirm the anti-social thing...
:D


No, in all honesty, I wish there was more I could do to repay your kindness.

[Snowflake]

On the record, I'm pretty happy these days. Happy is the new status quo.

[Gemini Cricket]

I think I posted this on Facebook somewhere but I think I'm pretty happy, too.
Ain't got no full-time job, ain't got no man, ain't got a lot of money but I'm okay.

Have you considered a career in country music?

[CoasterMatt]

I've restored the Nuclear Muffin Test Kitchen's Auditorium of Annihilation to it's full HK powered, Klipsch voiced glory.

[Ghoulish Delight]

I am very proud of the work I've done so far on the nursery. And I derived a great deal of fun from the process, and satisfaction from the result And I was kinda looking forward to wiring up the ceiling light.

But in the end, I'm totally seriously happy that I'm going to come home tomorrow to find a ceiling light installed, and I won't have had to do squat. Yay for hired help!

I finally got up into the attic to see just how little space the sloped roof leaves over that bedroom. If I knew what I was doing and weren't going to have to figure things out as I go, it would have been doable. But the prospect of being crammed up there with the layers of filth and roofing nails inches from my head AND trying learn on-the-fly was utterly unappealing.

So bring in the professionals!

[Moonliner]

Hook 'um Horns!

Is that tonight (the BCS Championship game)? What's the point of dragging the bowl system out to mid-January and not waiting for Saturday to play the big game?

How did they turn college football into hockey with a post season that never ends and 90% of the people don't care about?

[Ghoulish Delight]

My sister's biopsy came back negative.

I haven't posted this here, or talked about it with more than a couple people, but late last year my sister was diagnosed with cancer. A melanoma on her back that had made it into her lymph system. It had spread from a node on her back down to an adjoining node. The dr. who gave her the initial diagnosis gave her low odds of surviving even 10 years.

The oncologist she was referred to had a far less doom-and-gloom story for her and went straight to work on treatment.

She's been through a total of 3 surgeries where they removed the melanoma, the first node it had spread to, the two nodes "up and downstream" from that one (biopsy showing that the cancer had spread to the "downstream" one), and then the two nodes connected to that one. Tonight she got the biopsy results on the last node removed, and she's cancer free.

She's got quite a bit of recovery from some extensive surgery, and there remains risk of recurrence, but she's being treated by the guy who literally invented the methods for diagnosing and treating this form of cancer, so she's in good hands.

May 2010 (and beyond) continue to get better from here.

[Gemini Cricket]

Cancer free. It's awesome when you hear those two words together.
:)

[Alex]

Well, and in that order.

Free cancer wouldn't be so nice either.

[Kevy Baby]

No, in all honesty, I wish there was more I could do to repay your kindness.Well, I bet a check for $10,000 arriving in their mailbox would go a long way in that direction :D

GD- that's great! I hope they're right that her cancer is gone.

[Not Afraid]

Fantastic news for your Sis! I'm very relieved.

[lindyhop]

:) I just got home from the baby shower for my son and his wife. Mom-to-be was at 4 cm when she saw the doctor on Thursday and he said the baby could come at any time. A lot of the family is hoping for tomorrow because it's also a great-great-grandmother's birthday. I think it would be cool because the birth date would be 01-11-10 and I do like those palindromes. And it would be nice not to have to wait any longer to find out if it's a boy or a girl. I've been picturing the baby as a girl way too much. I'm trying not to because if it's a boy I'll be happy but the thought adjustment will sprain my brain.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Hooray new baby! May mini-hop's entry into the world be a joyful one.

:)

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

Happy, happy, joy, joy first visit with Theo, GD and CP + a whole lotta Lotters. Happy, happy, joy, joy indeed.

I love my LoT family.

OMG! Congrats Brad!!!

Tonight we went up to Lakewood to meet with the minister who's going to marry us, then we went to the restaurant we ate at on our first date, and walked on the Seal Beach pier. Oh, and it's only been a week since our actual anniversary (of our 1st date), so as far as I'm concerned, that was our anniversary dinner - and well spent at that :)

My kidney stone passed last night- there was much rejoicing...

[flippyshark]

My kidney stone passed last night- there was much rejoicing...

Oof- I've been there. It really is wonderful when the ordeal is over.

(Also, last time I was in the emergency room, they put some kind of drug in the IV that made me reeeeealllly happy. When I was checking out a while later, one of the nurses told me she enjoyed my nice singing voice. I didn't remember singing, but apparently, I had, to the amusement of everyone in the ER.)

[katiesue]

Congratulations Matt - I've been there as well. (keep the pain meds handy just in case it happens again).

[alphabassettgrrl]

Congratulations!

I love it when there are posts in this thread.

Since I became a druggie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budesonide/formoterol) back in Nov I'm down about 25lbs and other than one belt notch its not made one damn bit of visible difference. I still wear all the same stuff and I'm still waiting for that first "Are you losing weight?" comment.

For lack of a better place to put it, I want to share a video from Susan's sister's baby Jack (we call him Jack Jack). Apparently, he doesn't like pees (http://picasaweb.google.com/colinjpowers/JackSGreatestHits#5426816528344453474).

[Alex]

That would be a sign of kidney issues. But the visual evidence is that he doesn't like peas.

[Kevy Baby]

I can't believe I typed that. I could still change it, but I won't.

Felicia Day is my hero!!!!

[mousepod]

If you love Felicia Day and her show The Guild, you need to know that most of them are in a very funny improv troupe called "Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em". They perform once a month in LA. Last month's show was great, and we're going back to see them on Feb 19.

Woooooooo where do you get tickets?

Also if you have any tickets to Neil Patrick Harris making out with his bf, I'd be up for that too.

I got the best "I'm Celebrating" button EVER today- for passing a kidney stone!

[Prudence]

I was meeting with my boss today to go over a project description I wrote and he sighed a bit and said he was reminded while going over the project description how nice it was to work with someone who could actually write.

Sure, my job still sucks - but at least my current boss recognizes that I have some skills. Bonus points for recognizing my favorite skill.

Well, second favorite skill.

[Kevy Baby]

Is fellatio #1?

[Prudence]

I knew I could count on Kevy to fill in the blank.

One of my bestest friends in the whole world, who has wanted to have a kid of her own since she can remember, and who thought she was basically out of time, is at 5 weeks. While logically we are mindful that this is still a risky time, emotionally we are all SQUEEEEEEEEE!

[alphabassettgrrl]

Good luck to your friend, Pru!

[Kevy Baby]

This may be premature, but Susan is on her way to buy is a new King Sized bed (http://www.customcomfortmattress.com/latex.html). We hope they can bring it tomorrow.

I guess this means I really need to build the extensions to our Queen Sized wall unit :eek:

[Ghoulish Delight]

As well as your queen sized straps and chains.

[Alex]

Better than having to redo your Size Queen wall unit. Getting an autoclave that big isn't easy.

[Kevy Baby]

It's official - they are delivering tomorrow between 3:30 and 4:30

[Stan4dSteph]

Any other people who used to be Oz fans out there? Tergesen is guesting on an upcoming episode of Law & Order: SVU. Hotness (http://twitpic.com/11krm5).

[cirquelover]

Tonight we finally get to see Elton John and Billy Joel!! The concert was postponed back in November. As a bonus Gary's priceline hotel for this week is just a few blocks away and he was able to get two beds! I just hope they let the kid and I check in even though Gary's not there, hopefuly he talked to the front desk this morning like he said we would.

As an added bonus there is a new Aussie pie shop in Portland that Gary learned about last week and he is taking us there for lunch tomorrow! I haven't had a sausage roll in 22 years and I'm excited! I'm bringing a cooler so I can get a few extra pies in a couple of flavors to bring home too!

I am so very excited!

[katiesue]

Totally jealous of you Jill - have a great time!

[cirquelover]

Thanks! It was supposed to be Gary's birthday present, now it's just a little late.

I know someone on LoT has already seen the show, Erica maybe, but I never heard a review but you know it will be awesome.

It should be an awesome first concert for Zach!! I wish my parents were that cool!

[Chernabog]

[lashbear]

Jad an interview today for a hearing centre as a customer service face-to-face guy - it's everything I used to do at the Nokia Centre, but with Hearing aids instead of Phones. (well, you can't make calls or put ringtones on hearing aids, but still...)

I will know today if I have been successful enough to go meet the manager on Mon. *Fingers Crossed*

Oh, and Yay for Aussie Pie Shops. Maybe I could come over there and start one up.

[CoasterMatt]

I'd love to see an Aussie Pie Shop open next to the Burrito Factory.

[BarTopDancer]

Totally jealous. I hope to see it during their next tour. I've already seen Billy Joel and he was fantastic.

I know someone on LoT has already seen the show, Erica maybe, but I never heard a review but you know it will be awesome.

She's going next weekend.

Have fun!

[Kevy Baby]

...Hearing aids...Can one catch Hearing AIDS from unprotected phone sex?

...the Burrito Factory.I miss BF

[Alex]

(well, you can't make calls or put ringtones on hearing aids, but still...)

Actually, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. If you have to wear hearing aids anyway, add some bluetooth and integrate your cell phone needs.

[Not Afraid]

Is he a fan of theirs? I'd never assume anyone under 20 would appreciate Candle in the Wind or Piano Man, though kids often pick up on what their parents listen to. Hope you had fun!

I was WAY under 20 (and probably Zach's age) when I was a HUGE Elton John Fan.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Well yeah, but compared to the other music coming from the Victrola, or watching the horse drawn buggies go down the lane, that would have been considered cutting edge entertainment back then.

[Alex]

Just for the record, we all drew straws on who would get to make the old joke.

[cirquelover]

That was one of the most AWESOME nights of my life!! It was three and a half hours of nonstop music, seriously, no break. They both came out and played together. Then Elton played by himself and then Billy. To end the night they both played together again. It was amazingly cool!

Zach liked Elton John before because Gary is a huge fan but now it would appear that Zach is a big Billy Joel fan! He came home and started downloading his songs tonight! He leaned over during We Didn't Start the Fire and said "I'm downloading this as soon as I get home!" and he did plus a few more.

It was a little strange hearing Joel sing Eltons songs but it was awesome.

[CoasterMatt]

We saw them do their "Face To Face" show a few years back- great show, good long show- it was especially cool to hear them do each others music.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

He leaned over during We Didn't Start the Fire and said "I'm downloading this as soon as I get home!" and he did plus a few more.Very cool. Have you explained the Cola Wars line to him?
