I'm so sorry, Sher. I'll be thinking about you and your family.
*hugs*

[Félix]

We will certainly be thinking of you guys, Sher. A roller coaster, for sure.

[Cosmic Sher]

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. Maybe we'll have some better news tomorrow.

[Félix]

Hope so.

[Knarik]

Hope she will recover. Be strong C. Sher!

[[deleted user]]

Hoping for the best for you Sher. Nothing but positive thoughts being sent your way.

Back to work after taking a mental health day Friday. I thought it best to take a day and not spread my bad mood.

First sick day I've taken in 4 years.

[RandomAnthony]

Wow, Jim. You can't save those sick days forever, you know. Or maybe you can. Hope you're feeling better (heh) and Sherri, hope you're well, too.

Earlier today, I ate a box of chocolate-covered insects. Discuss.

[Félix]

Bugs.

[Dan]

They sell them in the gift shop at the butterfly house, apparently. I got two crickets and two grubs. The box said they were roasted before being dipped into the chocolate. They weren't bad although a cricket wing got stuck in my teeth. It was like a peanut skin.

[Félix]

Dan. Dude. They're bugs.

[Kevin]

excellent dan. crunchy?

[Dan]

Larry wrote: "Dan. Dude. They're bugs."

They tasted much more like chocolate than bug.

[Félix]

Heh heh. Yeah.

[[deleted user]]

I've eaten deep fried grasshoppers before, not a lot of taste, just crunchy.

[Félix]

Good source of protein, I guess.

[RandomAnthony]

That's what she said.

[Félix]

Oh good one.

[[deleted user]]

Yeah RA, well used.

[Kevin]

hahahahahhahahhahahahahaaaaaaa

[Sally, la reina]

>:( Digs hole, scoots ficus in front of RA and into hole, pours cement into hole.

Heh. But I can just, you know, walk around the ficus to another spot, right? Or do I have to stay right here? Is there an electric fence?

high-fives Larry, Jim, and Kevin

I think it all depends on where Sally is. If she's on the other side of the ficus I would stay put.

[Cosmic Sher]

Haahahahahahaahha! Thanks for the laugh guys. :D *wipes tears*

Just an update for those who'd like to know. My MIL is in a state of locked-in syndrome, due to swelling in her brain, but they have no idea if she'll come out of it or not. One doc was Dr. Gloom, but another said he'd seen a patient worse off and still come back. And that he wouldn't give us hope if there was none. So, we'll see what happens. It will probably be a few weeks before we really know.

Thanks for the good vibes guys. :)

[Félix]

Aw man that's hard. Sorry, Sher.

[Kevin]

Sher - Friends sing the song of your heart when you have forgotten the words

[[deleted user]]

Lets hang onto the good possibilities.

Hang in there Sher.

[Kevin]

growing a mohawk

[Kevin]

it is a WIP at this point. something diff for me. i keep wanting to say "RYTE" with an english accent and a sneer

[Sarah]

Good luck with the mohawk, Kev. Can you get your hands on some drums?


I am desperately trying to stay awake. My dad and sister are both arriving at the airport as I write this. I came into work at a ghastly 7 am so I could leave at 3, check on the pony, and still make it home at a reasonable hour to spend time with the usually faraway sis and dad.

Right this moment nothing seems like a reasonable hour. Sooooooooo sleeeeeeeeepy.

[Heidi]

I just got back from the doctor's office - apparently I don't have the flu... WOO HOO!

I just have conjunctivitis (pink eye), photophobia (new word for me - not afraid of light, just... bright light is painful in that eye), and some sort of bronchial virus. :)

[Jaimie]

I'm tired and I don't want to be at work today. I've got about 2 hours and 45 minutes before I can leave.

[[deleted user]]

Glad to hear you don't have the flu Heidi.

Hang in there Jaimie the weekends coming.

[Kevin]

mohawk work in progress

[Félix]

Looking good, Kevin.

[Cosmic Sher]

You gots some sexy scrub there, Kev. :)

Thank goodness!

Right now I'm listening to country music (for some unknown reason) and grading papers. I love grading on Friday afternoons. The pressure is off, I don't feel hurried to get home and start relaxing, cooking, doing other stuff before I start on homework.

[Kevin]

Mohawk update. Taken 10/31/09

[Félix]

There it is.

[Kevin]

prob not. i am just having fun with it right now. my daughter loves it. my youngest son just giggles and i think my wife secretly likes the bad boy look :)

[Cosmic Sher]

Oh man, you need to grow it long & dye it purple! And, heck yea, what woman doesn't like the bad boy look? hehehe

[[deleted user]]

I'm with you Cosmic Sher on that one!

[Kevin]

what apple, the long and purple look?

[Cosmic Sher]

Definitely purple... yea, definitely.

[Kevin]

getting ready to re-pierce the ear i think. it has been like 10 years since i wore an earring but i am feeling it (hoop only) and also thinking INK

[Angie]

Do you have any tattoos already Kevin?

Also, count me in for the purple mohawk. Sadly, I don't think I have any leftover purple hair dye to send him. :(

[Kevin]

yup. but thinking of another (only if it is cool and unique. no *** hat or gay neck tats. only something original)

President is coming to Madison today to visit one of the Middle Schools to talk about health care. No public appearance.

They have given plenty of warnings that your flight might be delayed, and that traffic will be a problem during his trip from the airport on the north side to the school on the south side.
