    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.

    Besides, the "You're Trouble" phrase generally says you ARE trouble, not that you're IN trouble... that being the case... I think I'm more scared than you are.

    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?

    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.

    Is there a selective history eraser button?
    .........................
    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... 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?

    I have a crush on Choco. It's my hope that Nanci will fondly remember her hiking/rattlesnake video (in which she snickered helplessly while her friend unhappily pondered the snake in the path), and someday show us a little video of Choco swimming ecstatically in his pond.

    At one of my elementary schools, the custodian had a boa constrictor named Eli. She used to bring him around to the classrooms to show the kids. Some staff member knitted Eli a yellow and white muffler and I have a picture somewhere of Eli wearing his muffler. I think Maizey needs a GLAMOROUS costume, possibly including a red feather boa and a little tiara.

    MP, what's the career move? AND I mailed the very first Thread Drift book to you yesterday. Finally!! You read it, you get to pick the next TD person to send it to.

    Yeah! Video! We want live action Choco video!

    I cast my vote for glamorous, too!

    So, FedEx says my bike caught a westbound truck at 10:52 this morning. It also says my bike weighs 0.1 pounds.

    So just WHAT did the bike shop ship?

    Oh, lordie, another thing for me to fret about...

    And my darn Brooks is pinging and it's driving me nuts but I still love it and don't tell the Brooks Cult I'm having issues again or they'll come get me and I really do love my Brooks but maybe I'm not meant to have springs and don't let my experience stop anyone from buying a Brooks. Really.
