  1. Amanda, how long does the typical C-sectioned mom stay in hospital down there? I'm curious because here things are HEINOUS. Because we have problems with lack of beds, uncomplicated births have you out in 36 hours, and C-sections I believe are 48-72 hours. Just not long enough.....
  2. Well, Mygawd...........perhaps she has!! Soooooooooooziiiieeeeee!? Brent Sass has recovered from his stomach bug. I believe Susie is there with him. I can just FEEL it. She's nursed him back to health, been hanging onto his back the last couple of days as they whip over the frozen landscape....
  3. Good Morning, Fellow Questers!! Oh, boy.....gettin' REALLY exciting: Open Original Shared Link Before he left for work, DH was looking at me with his oft-donned expression, "yeah...sure", when I was going on and on about how involved we all are in Sillyville with Michelle's quest. So I led him over to the laptop and scrolled over the last...
  4. I've never been up to Whitehorse, but we may go this summer. It's a nine-hour flight (we're closer to France, or Italy...crazy!) Man, I'd love to be up at that finish line!!
  5. It's great fun, isn't it? Addictive, in the strangest of ways...I mean, chocolate or gambling I can understand...but a 1,000-mile sled dog race, a million miles away? What the...?.... WELL.....Michelle must stop being friendly with this Dastardly David Dalton. This is do or die, man....dig in and leave him in a spray of snow! So, we've gotten the...
  6. ..."I've located a uranium spill"......
  7. Damn you, Departing David Dalton!!! Could be strategic....Michelle is letting her dogs rest a little longer than Dastardly David Dalton, knowing they will have to really turn on the jets for the final long stretch. DDD could pay heavily by not resting long enough...may have to drop a dog or two, or he'll have to rest again sooner than Michelle will...
  8. ......and black noses....... It's all making sense, now.....
  9. ....HEY!! Maybe Mr. Bass is with Susie....! They're both absent, unaccounted for....yes, that must be it!!!!
  10. Indeed....No expanding here, though. Closed up shop. Enough is enough!!! That's too bad, Tom. Ah, well......our gain! Yep. Third it will likely be, if she can hang on there. Mackey and Anderson are too far ahead of her, and very experienced. I think it will be Mackey crossing first...he's still got twelve dogs. But a...
  11. OMG....that was a fantasic av.....
  12. Mygawd, I cannot stand the stress.......Michelle has moved into third place, but the guy she's overtaken is only eight minutes behind her.....She could be only 36 hours from the finish line....enough room to catch the top two veteran mushers??!! GAAAAHHHHH............. Go, Michelle, go...............!!!!!!
  13. Congrats, Amanda!! Yes, weight and name, please.... It's actually very subtly artistic and trompe l'oueil-ish....you must look carefully, and there's kitty Will! You could probably sell that pimped pic to an advertiser of some sort, Janet..."Finding strange creatures in your hair like Ms. Winehouse is? It may be time for a trip to our...
  14. Mornin', All! Amanda! Any baby yet? Guess you're all off today, as well, with your Presidents' Day. We Family Dayers are to do family things on this new holiday, like paint the family room together. Looks like Michelle's still in fourth...wish they had updates every half-hour, as she was only twenty minutes behind the third guy. Things can change so...
  15. Susiiiieeeee!! What's going on??!! I cannot stand it...........
  16. HEY!! Another big SIL story!! Keep us posted!!
  17. Mercifully, no....They would be constantly stopping, dropping onto their backs and spraying snow around. Not a great visual for the promotion of the majesty and grit of this fine sporting event... Yes! And if you're male, an avatasseuse.... I was wondering about this...Our queen must proclaim the disciplinary action to...
  18. SO! Here's a quick tidbit from the Yukon/Alaskan news feed that came out when Michelle and the guy she's chasing came into Dawson...He's only twenty minutes ahead of her.....GO, MICHELLE!!! Open Original Shared Link
  19. Mornin' Nikki! Frosty morning here, as well...Gus is out rolling in the snow like a real circus performer: pouncing on some imaginary thing with both front legs straight and extended, then crashing onto his side and flipping back and forth, snow flying everywhere. Methinks he is trying to make a dog angel.
  20. I've always been very curious to know what it tastes like..you'll have to describe it! Absinthe........Hmmmmmmmm. How about this as the new budgie's name? He's the green that I would picture absinthe to be....it has kind of a lovely sound. I like it. The kids will probably pull another one of these, however:
  21. OMG...There is no way I could be there.....I would be frantic. Having to pee every two minutes, the butterflies lurching in my stomach, tears streaming down my face as her sled comes into sight...leaping up and down, screaming.... Still wanna be there with me? Ya gotta be screaming right along with me..... Bev! What a terrific avatar! Fab looks...
  22. Well, Tom, I say go, as long as you have your phone with you at all times so that you can be checking up on Michelle. Actually, you will be away and distracted from her crossing of the finish line, likely late Wednesday. Me, however, with next to no life, will have no conflicts here...I will be watching obsessively. President's Day, huh? We...
  23. I shall email BIL and tell him about the virtual following of Michelle. She actually is quite an underdog (pun intended)...Some illness/injury during last year, of her and her lead dog, plus being female, no one expected much to be happening with her for this race. In fact, her being in it at all caused many seasoned mushers to raise eyebrows. LOVE IT...
  24. Good morning, Sillies..... It's suddenly a long weekend here in Ontario for a lot of us, as our provincial government implemented what they've called a "Family Day" on the third Monday of February, effective this year. I suppose we'll be planning some snowy family activities... So you must be off Monday as well, Peter. Hope your brain transplant is...
