If I start saving now, I might just be able to afford a round trip plane ticket to the PI just to kick sand on you while you're sunbathing and catch the next plane home. ;)Quote:

I'm more a 'lady' than the alternative, thank you. ;)
Crassy.
Right-O Snap - the lymph nodes are really big. Feels like a bag of big marbles. Ick.
Yes - the offer is coming from the couple that looked at the house on Saturday. We have a lot of wiggle room on the price, so unless her offer is insulting - we should be good to go! I really hope it's not insulting. Really I do. I would so love to NOT have to deal with a relocation company. And - if I could sell my house without ever having put it on the market...I think I'll do cartwheels across the lawn. If I do - I'll have Mr. Fish take pictures. It should be entertaining.
Knotted - is that bike there yet? :p
Good luck, fish!
Fish, has Roux been diagnosed with lymphoma for sure?
Snap - not yet. The doc said it's the most likely of the possibilities. The possibilities are lymphoma, blastomycosis, or histoplasmosis. Many people here have a mild case of histoplasmosis (sad, but true), but in a dog it would be much more severe. The most likely of the 2 are lymphoma or blastomycosis. Lovely stuff. We should get more info (test results) back tomorrow or Thursday. They're running an antibody test - we'll see.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for Roux. Let me know what the tests say.

Just talked to my pilates teacher. The studio we work out at is moving to the most horrible location. She's quitting. I've only got a couple of more sessions paid for, then I'm going follow her. She also works at a studio in Los Gatos so I'll go there. Anyone that lives in the south bay - the new studio would involve Hwy 85 at 5:00 at night. No thank you, all the calming benefits of the class would be lost on the drive home.
fish i hope things go well with the pup.
snap is that why your (extra) bitter today?
ahhh. the fog finially burned off (we were down to a 1/8 mile visibilty all morning) and the sun (yes sun! in cold bay!) is shining. now only if i wasn't so afraid of it and getting tan. where is my sunscreen?
Fish-
Tried posting this @ home, but lost internet connection, so posting @ work...
I hope everything works out for Roux. Sending positive, healing thoughts...
Actually, I'm kind of glad about the studio change. The owner doesn't strike me as someone who really cares about her staff, or the comfort of her clients. She pulled out all the wall units and replaced them with these terrible allegro combo units, stuffed the main studio with equipment. Add the carpet covered cement floors - can you imagine standing on that all day as a trainer? This move out to the boonies just confirms my feelings. I only stayed because I love my teacher, she is awesome. She trained with Romana Kryzanowska - a big deal if you are into Pilates.
So this is what I get for bad internet service today - 6 pages of TD!!
Hey Fish - good news on the house. I hoe you figure out what's up with Roux.
CWR - was it avian flu? Are you feeling better??
Knotted - is it there yet???
Nanci the new baby is beautiful. We just looked at a little banana king snake the other day. So pretty - what a great color. And your cicada story - I swear you are like St. Francis of Assisi.
Beta - you got a (n avatar/signature) facelift! Nice. Keep us guessing....
Super warm here today. I was out at a job site in San Jose and it was 99. Yikes! Nice and cool in Marin right now. Good day - got to catch up with a friend of mine who made the career move I am ultimately planning to make and it's working great for him. He was super supportive and optimistic. So that's encouraging!

Well - the offer was a bit insulting. She offered less than we paid for the house and that was supposed to include the stainless steel fridge. I replied by telling her that she had to come significantly up and gave her about absolute lowest price ($5K under asking price). We'll see. We have a bit of an advantage because of the whole relocation company thing. We basically have a backup plan built in. I'm going to find out more about the details of that arrangement tomorrow.
Got a lead on a promising house in BR. We'll look at it Friday. It's not too pricey and sounds like it has a great kitchen.
Roux does not appear to be getting any worse - that's good. I'll take plateau. Better than decline.
Choco is really pretty Nanci!
MP - Great to hear you had a great day!
What would you say is the alternative?Quote:

Re-entry into match.com land is going as one might have expected. A guy--we'll call him Mr. Wisconsin--had emailed me back in June. A promising candidate, but I was burned out. I told him I was taking a break, he replied that he understood and hoped I'd be back in touch when I was ready. So when I posted my profile again, he wrote me a nice note asking how I was. I wrote back with some details of my summer and asked how he was doing. ... silence. No reply. Sigh. Of course in the meantime, I'd imagined our romantic dinners...you all know I have the shoes for them...:rolleyes: Other likely and unlikely prospects have reached out. It is wierd to see that in 2 days my profile's been viewed 97 times. What happens with 26 year old? 970 times in 2 days? Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world!
Speaking of which (since this is thread drift), didja hear that Cat Stevens/Yusef Muhammad is coming out with a new record? I will be most curious to hear what it sounds like.
fish, sorry about the insulting offer. Glad the pup seems to have stabilized.
beta, what prompted the avatar switch? And the tag line? What does it mean?
