Thanks, all. His surgery is done as of late late Wednesday night and he's doing ok though is pretty achy. Today they're going to see if any gall stones "escaped"...I guess he was so inflamed before the surgery they couldn't check for that. Once that's done he should go home within a day. T...

My brother was admitted to a hospital last night with really severe pain - sounds like he's getting his gall bladder out today or tomorrow.

I know it's a very routine and considered a fairly minor surgery - but it sure makes me wish I didn't live 2500 miles away!

Well I'm not a brit - but you made me google it, which does indeed confirm that "bugger" seems to imply sodomy...

define: bugger

Though apparently "bugger off" and "bugger all" aren't quite so vulgar?

What a great Canada Day. A day off in the middle of the week is always a good thing, but this was just about perfect: I woke up after 10am, met some great friends in a park for a super relaxing good time followed by more relaxation and silliness at a pub with a few more more buddies, and home and in...

Blue and I took a long walk through our neighborhood during the final game. Every single bar/pub/restaurant we passed was packed with people watching the game. We knew the game was over when a guy leapt out of a bar waving a giant Spanish flag, screaming and running down the middle of the street.......

So sad. RIP.

Very sorry to hear that, so lack... hang in there.

Can people join me in a no-rain-for-Toronto dance? The Relay For Life is tomorrow night - 7pm through 7am Saturday morning. Last year it was cold and had a pretty low turnout. This year the forecast shows a chilly low of 10°C/50°F along with a 40-60% chance of rain. I'm starting to worry that no one...

I almost missed it!

Happy Birthday, Mr. A!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Adding in my congrats to VG and family! It was great to meet you last summer and I've really enjoyed the baby VG updates.

Happy Birthday!

I hope so too! So when are you making it to Toronto?

Happy Birthday!

I'm at 31.

Still pretty pathetic, but at least I beat Blue

Well the Guardian gave it a sniffy two stars, but elsewhere reviews were better. I thought it was rollicking good fun. Very, very overboard with the endless 'surely this will kill them?' and no-one gets scratched moments, and then the closing medley of Spielberg's greatest hits (though I guess no s...

I'm very sorry to hear about your battle with cancer, Mr. Average. I'm relieved to hear that you are improving, and I hope your treatment plan continues to work for you. You're another person I'll be thinking about as I walk through the night at Relay. I'm sorry that your experiences have led you to...

That's right, Blue and I are doing The Canadian Cancer Society's Relay For Life once again this summer and I'm back shamelessly asking for donations. As a few of you already know, I'm putting a lot of time and energy into this year's event and am trying to make it the most successful year ever both ...

Happy Birthday!

I hope you'll join me in wishing my hubby, and one of the board's most prolific posters a very happy birthday!

He wouldn't let me cook him a nice breakfast, but at least I'll treat him to a nice dinner tonight.

Happy Birthday, Blue!

Happy Birthday!

The Toronto Transit Commission went on strike with an hour's notice last night. Effective as of midnight, there were no subways, buses, or streetcars. A lot of people were left stranded downtown, and people are pissed at the union. They're hoping to force them back to work by Monday, but this could ...

Hooray!

So so happy for the good news, Spooky! I hope you're able to relax (finally) tonight!

Well holy crap, Gilli. That's just horrifying. I'm very glad to hear that it sounds like long term, your daughter and her beau will be just fine. They're very lucky indeed.
