The Dino-Aspie Cafe (for Those 40+... or feeling creaky)

Lau, you have a beautiful singing voice! Will you marry me, and sing to me everyday? Thanks, Merle, for the hilarious mondegreens. I laughed until I cried. And Yowling cat, that poster of the dino flame war was just too funny! I've been lurking, I confess, but there's so many interesting topics that I never stop to reply, just keep reading and looking for a place to jump in.

Well, gosh dang it all to heck!!

I'm at uni, and I decided to use my computer and use the uni wi-fi, and I have to register for the stupid privilege like a school kid, and it's going to take 48 hours, and I am railing at the world. My friend who's a math prof here just laughs...

I've been gone for a few days, writing theses and poetry. Anything happen while I was gone?

Postie--I cruised through your post on your wife leaving you, and I thought she was leaving you.. Then I reread it after seeing everyone's posts after yours, and realized she's only going to be gone for one night. Whew.

Cernunnos, is there any more Coke? I think I've had too much caffiene today.

I'm feeling weird, and just trying to ride it out. My friend, who has been staying with me these last few weeks after her cancer surgery just got her grading. She told me yesterday, and I just went blank. She was put at 3C, which is very serious indeed. She will have to have mucho follow-up treatment, and we talked a bit about what will happen on those days, and I said I would keep the second bedroom set up for her, so she can stay with me in case she has a reaction to the treatments. I wasn't ready to discuss it with her in any deeper terms than that, and as I was getting out of the truck to come to the study center, I just froze, and zoned for about ten minutes before crying. I know she's been talking to a friend of hers who went through cancer treatment, and she will be looking up stuff on the net, because she's like me when it comes to that.

But despite the dismal news, she's ready to roll. She's been sleeping well, and feels strong, and she's healing up, and she never took any pain meds after the surgery. That's good, and I hope her overall good health will be a major plus in her favor.

And life goes on. Kind of blows me away sometimes.

SeriousGirl, I hope you are doing better and things are resolving. I am so sorry you are going through this.

Lau, I'm going to listen to your thing when I get home as the college connection won't LET ME DO THAT. Bleah.

Hi, CC--I am sorry to hear your family went through that, and it's still so painful. I came from a family that was already kind of broken up, so I'm used to it. But the abuse--well, I've already written about that. But it's hard. Especially when it seems so senseless.

So Atomikpsycho is back, the little devil. It's kind of like the neighbor kid peeing in the pool, only it's the dog dish.

Lalalala. Mondegreens. Heehee. Pearl Jam is a good one. I'll have to go listen to Eddie and the Boys, because I have a couple. That baritone sounds drunk half the time, but it's all good.

Hi Rjaye,
My cousin is going through what your friend is going through. About 10 years ago she lost a breast to cancer but survived and was doing well. She lived alone in Slidell, Louisiana. After Katrina, she was wading through the putrid water to get to her sister's house. She cut her leg and got an infection that traveled to her heart. She didn't have any medical insurance and was waiting for medicare to kick in before going to the doctor. By the time she got to the doctor she was in heart failure. She sold her home in Slidell and moved to PA. Got a transfer to a job up there for the same company. She was on heart medicine and doing much better. A couple of weeks ago she got diagnosed with cancer in her other breast. So she'll be going through radiation and chemo.
Still goes to work everyday. An amazing woman. I hope your friend will get through this and be okay. She's lucky to have someone like you to support her.

Glad to see you back as well Hartz!

Sorry ZanneMarie, not stupid. How unconscionable of me to say that. I should have said "intellectually-challenged-in-the-area-of-avoiding-bringing-very-hot-objects-in-contact-with-one's-own-skin woman".

That's more like it! LOL It's nothing compared to what happens when I cook. Then I don't just burn myself, I cut my fingers up when I try to cut up vegetables. I'm only allowed in the kitchen to get ice and diet coke.

I already had more than enough "You can't be trusted with mechanical objects" looks today. I've used up all my get out of trouble free cards and there are many FROWNS tonight.
