..BTW, when did you stop being MG?

When she developed a following I wanted to ditch. Opted for the more sophisticated choice.

Please welcome my friend Mike. He has a family member that may share our affliction. He knows me from High School, and I have threatened him with his life if he ....well you know.

He is a true Sillie! And Peter needs some male bonding.

HEY! A new Psilly!! AND A GUY!!! This is a splendid thing. Welcome, welcome, Miyke. Do you use a blue or a red toothbrush? Apparently, the world average leans MUCH toward the blue..... . .... ..the reason why escapes me, but remains fascinating to ponder, methinks... . . ......

And, um....anal glands....well, no, ya don't have those, at least not working ones, as you're human. Not that you need them to frequent here -- but what you MAY need is a drink in hand.......fairly regularly.

thank you angel, I think I will like it here, even if I can not post Lisa's jr high and high school pics

You absolutely CAN share Lisa's high school photos, right here in yer posts! If the pics are put on photobucket or some such online photo-sharing site, you can put them right in here. See, here is a recent pic of me:

Uh huh... . .... ....

Oh Psills, I is so behind Will do me best.

Leesagh! Nathan??? son?? Chemo?? Been very sick??? Did NOT know (goes way back?) On the home stretch???

YAY!!!!

Brian!! Got a Job!!!

YAY!!!!

What a fabulous week for your family. You truly have something to celebrate tonight. Champers and Thunder Down Under sounds about right.

Fruit-bat Fellatio and the Lickety-splits, with their smash new hit "I'ts on the tip of my tongue." :lol:

Luv, luv, luv it.

For a minute there I thought you meant an iron

_{<of the clothes kind >}

Nik, when is you going to learn that only the Brits use those thangs

I noticed this on me calendar today as a UK/Canada thing and meant to ask. Is it Guy FAWK (as in hawk) or somefin else? and who the FAWKE was Guy?

And more importantly whatcha gonna light on fire????????? Better lock up DC!

On November 5, 1605, Guy Fawkes was apprehended while preparing to blow up the parliament buildings whilst the King and all the members of parliament were present.

We don't do anything around here. I see it as a British thing.

Holy crap. . . . ........quite a guy. Only the Brits would be wackl enough to have a grand, yearly holiday celebration in honour of a bloke who tried to blow up Parliament with everyone inside. . .......

We SHOULD celebrate along wif you guys. . . .........!

Good one, Bevvie!

T'is not celebrated becuz 'e tried; t'is celebrated 'cuz he failed. We burn him in effigy with a bluddy big bonfire and fireworks, or at least we used to And we used to go out as kids dressed as guys and begging for money "Guy, Guy, Guy, penny for the Guy!", supposedly to buy fireworks with, although we made mom and dad buy those. Now that Halloween and trickortreating has forced its way onto our calendar, and with them being only five days apart, Guy Fawkes day here is just fireworks. I miss the little "guys" dressed up in baggy pants and dad's hat or cap -- so much cuter than the fairies and pirates and what-nots. This place changed while i wuz gone in America; became Americanized, how too phunny is that???

Hail Mike, p'rhaps friend of Lisa. (We will check da Book). Do others goof around and play with your instruments?

Far too little psspssilliness going on in this part of the world so I'm enjoying just reading everyone else's.

[psawyer]

Leeesah, grate news.

Mike, welcome. We seem a little crazy to outsiders, but those of us on the inside know that the real crazies are the ones who don't share their nuttiness here.

And, yeah, Guy Fawkes day celebrates the fact that he was caught before he could do the deed. He is burned in effigy every November 5th. Find more info Open Original Shared Link

Hmm, Emily, I think that you have lightened your hair and grown it a bit since we met a year ago. :lol:

..BTW, when did you stop being MG?

It's been a little while, Nik....

Yeah........I just fingered it out about a week ago

thank you angel, I think I will like it here, even if I can not post Lisa's jr high and high school pics

Who says???????

Last I saw.....Lisa weren't queen or nothin.....she has no say in the matter

Shroomie........this never actually got on c.com.......no psilly about it a' tall. Plus I think it was before you came along.....and others here, too, Im sure.

Soooo.......now that it's, for the most part, over, I will attempt to give a brief synapses of "the last 8 months thru my eyes".......here goes.....

On March 10, Brian and I got a call from our 28 yr old son in Texas....he was diagosed with Leukemia and was immediately transferred to a hospital in Houston. He was in graduate school in a town 3 hrs from there. He's a wildlife biologist.

I got on a plane and my husband took his motorcycle.......to save money and also have transportation once there.

Shortly after I arrived, Nathan started hallucinating and losing coordination....docs thought it was a medication.

Brian arrived in town on the 14th, but was hit by a car before he reached the hospital.........it severed his leg.

I went from Nathan's hospital to Brian's, and spent 2 nights with him. When I returned to Nathan, he was in intensive care. The issues were caused by a growth on his brain stem. Maybe caused by an infectious disease....tic-borne possibly. (BTW.....we still don't know for sure what caused it)

Friends and family came to help out......donations arrived to help with mounting hotel bills (psillies included )

Brian was released after 3 days. Nathan was in ICU for 18 days.....almost died at one point. Diagnosis was AML.......a bad one to get. We spent all day every day at the hospital.

Once he was stable, his wife went back to work, but a couple of times, bad episodes brought her back. After 5 weeks, I had to go home and back to work, also.By then, Nathan had been released, but needed a lot of transporting back and forth every week. Brian stayed to help out, but eventually he had to return home to start physical therapy.

Brian eventully went back to work....earlier than predicted..... and was fired 3 weeks later.

To add to all this.........a couple weeks before all this started, my DD became pregnant. She and her boyfriend moved into our house while we were gone and took care of the house and pets and even our taxes. I don't think any of you knew that our furnace broke down during this time, also. I regret not being there thru her long bout of all-day morning sickness. Once we were both home, we started to plan their wedding. They got married Aug. 1st....about a week before hubby lost his job.

Sooooo.........Nathan was supposed to get 8 rounds of chemo......have now decided he's done at 7. He will be written up in the medical journals. They have never had a case like his. He had them baffled for a long time, and they couldn't follow conventional treatment. He had a team of oncologists, a team of neurologists, an ICU team, and I forgot what else

And Brian's accident was caused by a missing stop sign. So this is not over, yet.

Have I left anything out? .....Well....yeah......there's a lot left out, but that's the basics. Nathan's wiife, Melissa, kept a journal on Facebook, under "I Support Nathan Hawkins and his Fight Against Leukemia".

Oh yeah.......and before this, Patti was preparing to move to Houston. I beat her there. When she arrived, she came to the hospital and brought me gluten-free food!!!

[mushroom]

Oh, my goodness, Lisa, what a horribly bad series of circumstances, and what a survivor you are, what survivors you all are. I have been trying to read between the lines but there weren't too many to read between. I knew, of course, that Brian had lost his leg, but did not know the tragic circumstances in which it happened. How traumatic for your whole family!!! And what a battle you have all fought, to make it through so triumphantly. You are all living testaments to the human spirit. And the psillies helped out!! Awww! But this was soitinly NOT a psilly story. I am so glad it is having happy endings :D {{{{hugs}}}} :wub: to all. And now you gots a bebe too!! You so deserve some joy. Dance the night away!!!!

OH my Sills, how I needed these smiles tonight. And a new PSILLY, welcome Mieykhe!

And Leesargh your story always brings a tear, and I am SOOOOOOO happy Brian got a JOB!!!

but sills.............some bad news...........I nearly killed Weezee today

she is in the hospital overnight, poisoned by chocolate.

I am a TERRIBLE and UNFIT mother. x 1,000

See, my boss had like a 5-pound bag of Nestle's semi-sweet choco chips at work, and he poured about half of that into a ziploc for me, to make treats for the boys.

I put it on my desk last night, was eating chips while reading various things online.

I was gone for over two hours today, and Weez ate two-thirds of the bag. this is a VERY, VERY dangerous amount of theobromine.

After our walk - a very, very strange walk - she vomited up two HUGE piles of deep brownish-red vomit on my carpets today.....was acting sooooooooo strangely. I called the vet, to bring her in that moment.....then saw the chocolate chip bag on teh floor.

I took her to emergency vet (it was about 5:00 when I discovered the chips) and.....we were there about three hours......they induced SOOOOOOOOO much vomiting in my poor baby, and kept forcing down activated charcoal.

Well, because I'm so stinkin' poor, I opted to bring her home.

I had to very quickly stop at Vons and rent a CARPET SHAMPOOER on the way home, had to deal with the big piles tonight or it would have all been over.

So....she got worse....threw up HUGE piles of the charcoal outside........was very agitated, crazy.....I had to take her back.

Dropped her off at 11, and she's on IV fluids, staying there all night. I feel so much better about this. :weak smile:

and you know, I was on the phone w/ Fluffy Kat (Jenn) who said, you will never be able to live with yourself if she dies because you didn't just put a few hundred more dollars on your credit card.....

so I took her back.

very, very tired now....heading to bed with just my Baby Kitteh...who, you will recall, I almost once killed also. I repeat, I am an UNFIT MOTHER.

I'll give a report tomorrow......I pick her up in the morn and then.....shampoo carpets all day.

I am so tired.

LOVE to all sills, new and old.

Chocolate is very, very dangerous for dogs.

[mushroom]

OMG, another tragic tale to tell. Soozle, you must be feeling awful, but IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!!! Dogs will always find ways to poison theirselves with all kinds of terrible sh***, but that DOES NOT make you an unfit parent for poor Weezel. But the Fluffy Assassin is right, we have to do what we have to do to save our beloveds or else we can't live wiv ourselves. They is our family!! I am sure you found her in time and she will be okay. And thank God you hadn't yet shampooed the carpets!!!! Ya gotta see the bright side of this. Ya could have done all that work for nought

I will include Weezel in prayers for tonight and she will be just fine when you pick her up tomorra, I'n sure. Happy shampooing!!!! Sleep tight and all will be well. Give kitteh an extra hug. :wub:

[elye]

Good Morning, pserious Psills!

Sooooze! How bloody stressful and scary. Mygawd, who HASN'T left chocolate around? You are such a FIT mother, you make me head spin. So loving, devoted - - and Shroomie is correct......you did not clean your carpets before this, so now you can.

That little Weeze is such a wily devil, able to get into, on and through things, she really keeps you on your toes! I can't imagine what it must be like, having to be SO diligent with foodstuffs.

Of course, this is what makes Weezie so endearing, adorable and fetching.

Let us know as soon as you know! I'll be waiting until lunchtime, here, methinks.... ..

Hmm, Emily, I think that you have lightened your hair and grown it a bit since we met a year ago.

You noticed! A very subtle change... . . . ......

He will be written up in the medical journals. They have never had a case like his. He had them baffled for a long time, and they couldn't follow conventional treatment.

Such a breathtakingly tragic, but somehow wondrous story, Leeeesargh. You guys ALL go down in MY books as the family that climbed a mountain.....with bravery, strength and....I dunno the right adjectives - - there just aren't any that are strongly positive enough.
