Eating a delicious salad of spinach, romaine, orange and green peppers, beets, broccoli, feta cheese, red onion, and sunflower seeds.

Watching Cher in concert with my daughter and wife on DVD. Trying to keep comments to a minimum.

[Félix]

Cher is singing with your wife and daughter?

[Jonathan]

Cool.

[Kevin]

Yes Larry, exactly.

We have a cloud of scent here, too, but only because dad had chili for lunch."

How are your in-laws doing, Phil?"

Thank you for asking, Cynthia.

Dad is doing well -- he managed to warm up so he's not miserably cold all the time.

Mom is now on hospice care. There's no more chemo, and she rarely manages to get up from the bed. This week we start a new schedule with a CNA coming over three times to help her bathe, do her nails/hair and help her brush her one tooth.

My wife gives mom maybe two months. I think that could be optimistic. But so far people are handling it well, and we're talking with a social worker to help with plans for when she passes.

[Sally, la reina]

Phil wins the dealing with the most and doing amazingly well on a daily basis award.

[Cynthia]

Phil, I am a hospice volunteer. If I lived closer, I'd offer to come and sit with your mother in law, if she wanted me to. I know some good card games and a few dirty jokes. Glad you have the CNA visiting--they are really helpful with grooming stuff.

Best wishes to your family, Phil.

Phil is a saint.

[ms.petra]

Phil,
I am in awe of what you and your wife are doing. I have seen a lot of elderly people just shipped off to nursing homes because the families are just too busy. It is hard, but I can only imagine the peace and comfort it is bringing to your in-laws. Thanks for being such a good example.

[Cynthia]

There is no better way to honor and love someone than to help them die comfortably and on their own terms. Sometimes this happens in a nursing home, but most people would rather be at home.

[Jammies]

Phil, as someone who works with a guardianship/probate attorney, I know what you're going through and I admire the heck out of you and your wife.

[Phil]

Thank you to all. Your words do help.

[Félix]

Hang in there, Phil. So will your f-i-l stay there after?

[Phil]

Yes. He is ours for as long as he lasts.

He's not sick too, is he?

[Phil]

Nope. Just 84 years old with kidneys operating at about 20%. We're not sure how he'll react when mom passes. She has a fever tonight, so I'm about to leave to get some Tylenol.

[Félix]

Trying times.

Right now I'm waiting for Bejeweled 3 to unfreeze. I'm playing the Butterflies game. Everytime a butterfly is caught by the spider, it makes a little scream that startles me.

[[deleted user]]

Hahahahahahaha I just got jilted as a friend of Justin Beiber. I told him no one would believe he was JB and he dumped me. :)

[janine]

i dumped him before he could dump me. he gave 5 stars to a my little pony book!

[[deleted user]]

I haven't the heart to dump people.

[[deleted user]]

How can you hate the kid? I mean, he's ridiculous, of course. But, I can't hate him.

[[deleted user]]

Ha ha I know who it was that created the persona of JB. What a dope, didn't he know his email address comes with the friend request?

[janine]

right now i feel like shit. i hate undeserved hangovers.

[[deleted user]]

Ummmm, what exactly is an undeserved hangover?

[janine]

feeling hungover without having had any fun or alcohol the night before.

[Jim]

Was is a contact hangover?

[Jonathan]

Hanging around with drunk people when you're sober could definitely cause a headache.

[Sarah]

Tell me about it :)

[Jonathan]

Hee. Occupational hazard?

My cat Poopie is helping me break in some new shoes. We're watching Iron Man because we are both in love with RDJr.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I saw Sarah Jessica Parker wearing those shoes in a recent photo.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Man, those are some HIGH heels, Mary! Can you walk in them, or are they just for tv watching in?

[Mary]

I can walk in them very well on carpet or any textured surface, but slippery wooden floors are a bit tricky.


Fucking Netflix!! This disc is in shitty condition and it's ruining my movie-watching experience.

[Félix]

I hate when that happens, Mary.

[[deleted user]]

OMG those heels would kill me. I am in awe Mary.

[Cynthia]

Nice shoes! Nice Kitty! I'd rather wear (on my lap) that Kitty than those shoes (on my big feet.)

[janine]

drinking a glass of wine. the aunts and uncles are here to celebrate my father's birthday, and i'm drinking a glass of wine and working on my thesis :)

[Félix]

What kind of wine?

[janine]
