Sorry to hear that, buddy. Wish I could help ya

That's heartbreaking, Kobby.

I wish they could see the adorable side of you that we all do!

treydog, LOL. You have suffered the scorn of your cats, but at least you were wearing pants. A sinus infection does cloud the judgment. I once tried to lock my front door with a pair of swim goggles (instead of keys) while heading out to finally get decongestants. I took it as a sign that I shouldn’t drive. I hope you’re feeling better!

That’s great news, Liz! Thanks for letting us know.

Sorry to hear about that, KoB.

Ditto what Acadian said here, Kobby. I don't know why or how, but they are missing out on the joy and laughter you bring everyone around you, the comfort you bring to anyone in need of it. Knowing you is one of the brightest spots of my life, I wish they could know the side of you we all do.

X trillions.

I make sure I let him know how much I loves him every day

Aw, thanks you guys!

X trillions !!!

Well I spent all of yesterday sicker than I've been in years. I'll spare you the details suffice to say that at the time, I felt that death would be a release.

Anyways today I feel like I could run a marathon!

Wow, Kiln, that sounds like the epitome of a 24 hour bug of some sort! So glad you're feeling all better today.

I saw my cousin today. She can sit up and talk, but she gets tired easily. Otherwise she seemed like she wasn't doing bad. She sees the doctor tomorrow for her eye. Nothing should be amputated. She was really glad for the company. She said it's lonely at the nursin home where she's at.

Liz, that is great that you saw your cousin. Sounds like she's not doing too badly, and I'm sure that your visit brought her some needed cheer.

I hope it did.

Sorry man. You're better than them anyways.


That's just wtf.


I'm glad you were able to see her and that she's not going to lose any parts. I bet it does get boring there though. She might be asking for your xbox and Skyrim.

I agree with Acadian on it being the 24 hour flu, but the incubation on them is usually 3 days (meaning you could have exposed your wife and baby during the incubation without knowing you were sick) - hope they make it through this okay and don't suffer the flu like you did !!! Glad you are feeling better, too!





I'm so glad you got to see her, it sounds like your visit did her a lot of good too.

When I began showing symptoms I sent the baby to my parent's place to limit his exposure. Luckily I hadn't been around him much the last few days due to work so hopefully he will be alright.

Smart move!

this sounds like great news

-And get well now, Kiln!

My husband's grandmother, who raised him, is on life support right now. She has colon cancer, and the tumor was removed on Thursday, but she hasn't recovered from the surgery. She hasn't woken up from it. She had been squeezing hands and moving, but not anymore. It's just slight movement now. I got a call at work saying she was passing away, but now they're not so sure. She's stubborn. Really stubborn.

Well, it sounds like her time is near. Sorry Elisabeth.

Aww, Liz. So sorry to hear that.

Aw Liz, your family has been through so much recently - my best hopes that her scrappy stubborn nature pulls her through this, at least for long enough for your family to be able to say how much she has meant to you all.

Sorry Lizzy. You've had a rough time lately. I hope the future is kinder to you and your family.

You guys have my best wishes and if the worst should pass, my sympathies.

More bad news for Liz? When will it end!???

I´m so sorry to hear that, Liz

As of now we´re shutting down the cabin and I return to live in my apartment

It has really been an interesting year, to say the least. When I lost my job early this spring everything felt so uncertain. I hated it while at the same time I was glad not having to return to that specific place again. I´ve been living in the cabin for four and a half months now. Last time I did that was when I was waiting to get my apartment and that´s several years ago now. It feels I sort of made full circle and I am now ready to move on to new challenges. If only someone will hire me, goddammit!

Sell pictures of your left arm? Or some of your woodcraft items!

That sounds like a good summer at least. I'm sure you're ready to return to your place though.

No and hells no!


It has been a very good summer, despite the circumstances. Hope you all had a good summer too

My husband's grandma is about to be let go for sure this time. Last time it was a misunderstanding. Her body is shutting down and she said if it came to life support, just let her go.

That´s how I would want it if it ever comes to it; just pull the plug. If one is in such a fragile state it isn´t much of a life anyway. I think it affects those around more than the person who gets the plug pulled. You know

Make sure to take good care of Hubster, Liz. But I know you will

Aww, Liz, I'm so sorry to hear that. I know this must be a hard time for you and your family. Condolences to you, Hubster and Snuggles.

Death is an eventuality, and we all share this fate eventually. The dramas and illusions of life disappear like ineffective vapors before its truth.

May she know peace, and may she be at peace.

I'm sorry to hear that

May she rest in peace

Sorry Liz. She sounds like she will be remembered with love.

My deepest condolences.

They took her off of everything, and she looks like she's struggling, but she's still semi awake and sort of talking. She's still coherent and aware.

I can´t even begin to imagine being in that situation myself. May she at least not feel any pain or fear

Aw Lizzie, I am so sorry! My sincerest sympathy for her and the whole family through this (who may be having to make some very tough decisions right now, some of which may be against their own inclinations).

To Lizzy. I'm here for you...

They're moving my husband's grandma home tomorrow. She's not bad enough for hospice, and are releasing her to go home at home. She'll most likely pass away at her home.

I hope her passing is peaceful. Once again, my condolences, Liz.

I'm sorry to hear that

At least that is something. May she find comfort in spending her last days at home instead of a hospital.

Not bad enough for Hospice is a good sign as far as how peaceful/quick/painless they think her passing will be. That should be a condolence at least, and she will be home with those who love her instead of being in the hospital - always a plus, it is impossible to sleep in a hospital.

My best wishes that your husband's family will have this time to spend with her and say the things they all would like her to hear

May she pass peacefuly,atleast she is passing at home which will probaly give her more comfort than passing in an hosptial.

My thoughts are with you and with your family. Mom slipped away in her sleep in her own bed one night in October some 15 years ago.

Peace be with you and memories of love and laughter.

I’m glad she’s going home, Elisabeth. Thanks for letting us know. I hope you all find some peace together.

Sorry to hear that, Liz. It is better to go home than to sit in a room at a hospital somewhere. At least there she will be in a more familiar and relaxing setting.

On a lighter note, my cousin is able to walk! Baby steps, not much, but she can get up.

Yay! I'm so glad she's getting better.

That's great news! I'm glad she's doing well
