If you have a moment or two to spare, a candle or incense to light, I would greatly appreciate any good thoughts and prayers for my friend, whose 11 year old son, recently diagnosed with and treated for stage 4 Hodgekins Lymphoma, has been rediagnosed with it again after being given the all-clear about 2 weeks ago.
Thank you.
Oro.
Me, I'm thinking the latter...
I dreamt that Mr Oro and I had adopted two baby boys.
And then we had to give them back.
It's one of the worst nightmares I've ever had, and that feeling of such terrible, terrible pain will not go away.
Just thought I'd share.
Oro out.
I was going to save this for my next blogwhoring, but my mind has been so blown away, I had to post it right now (click on the red bars for the product and start at #20):
Seriously. I mean, how?? What do they put in those foods to make them so...just, how???

Well, it's Monday and I'm stressed and depressed. Got my application and appointment for WIC, which thrills me no end, I'm sure you'll agree.

BOOM! Headshot! To end, for we all know people who love their video games just a little too much, here's FPS Doug:
Oro out.
Why 'Good Luck'? I'm thinking that I'll wish you luck after you see the following, because I certainly don't have any words to describe this.
~*~
HEALTH:
I Had 10 Miscarriages - and 13 pregnancies. You might know her daughter, Sophie:
A Nun's Story - 50 years an Anorexic.
Just Be Young And Healthy - reason # 274 I'm glad I left Britain.
Vytorin/ENHANCE Study update - can you say "Insider Trading"?
Binging - a personal story.
What's Cholesterol Got To Do With It? - Did you know half the world's population has high cholesterol? Vegetarians, Vegans, Omnivores, Carnivores, black, white, Asian, doesn't matter*.
Happy Peanut Butter Day - so long as you're not allergic, of course...
Fat?!? You're Not Fat! - Can't tell you how many times I've heard this from my friends.
Kill Them All! - if you replace 'disabled' with 'fat', doesn't it all sound familiar? And given our current slide into Fascism, all the more scary?
One in One Thousand - a break up story.
The Great Sushi Scare - Holy Bluefin, Batman! Why am I not surprised? How To Eat Sushi
Only Skinny People Have Eating Disorders - I've also got a bridge in Brooklyn going cheap.
American Health Reform - interesting article. (it'll never happen)
Dental Decay - when a simple filling costs a few hundred bucks, who can afford to see a dentist these days?
NEWS/POLITICS/SOCIAL COMMENTARY:
Dem Leaders, You Are In Contempt - WORD.
Who Gets Custody? - reminds me of a case a few years ago, where the judge gave custody to a murderer doing 25 to Life rather than the kid's lesbian mother. Because murder is so much more moral than homosexuality.
When Oral Sex Results In Pregnancy - if only!
It's the Economy, Stupid:
Blowback V: the new tax revolt
Who's the Middle Class? - for the record, if you own your own home, can send your kids to college, have 4 cars, and earn $90k a year? You are not middle class, you are wealthy.
Eat The Poor - puts things in perspective. Comments are illuminatory.
The Stimulus Plan
Going Bankrupt - READ THIS ARTICLE! You'll want comfort food afterwards.
The Stimulus Swindle
Really? Tax Cuts Again? - telling it like it is.
About Those Checks...
Is The Bush 'Stimulus' Going To Help You? - nope!
RELIGION:
The View Is Dark - Muslim women in Europe have a lot to face.
Abundance - now that sounds like a festival
COOL STUFF:
Unusual Art - cool, but they have too much time on their hands
FOOD PORN:
Red Eye Rice Treats - Vegan sweet treat
WTFF?:
When Racism and Laundry Collide - I laughed. Also, it's a dye job, not laundry. But yeah, still makes you wonder who thought it would be a good idea.
Scientology: The Inside View - I want to say wev, and 'oh, they're just disgruntled' and 'people have the right to believe what they want to believe', but honestly, I think Scientology is whack.
The 6 Most Insane Game Shows - people...
Bleach Bum - this is a joke, right? Right?
BE CAREFUL IN CANADA! - who knew?
~*~
Oro out.
* For the life of me I cannot find the source where I read that statistic, I just know it was years ago...maybe on Weston A Price?
Dear Tom,
I'd been avoiding watching your pro-Scientology video because I really felt I didn't need to know anything more about it than I already do. However, after watching Jerry O'Connell's masterful smackdown this morning, I decided to find a copy to view.
Dude.
Honestly, if you want more people to join Scientology, STFU.
Cuz you are creepy.
Yours,
Glancing Over Her Shoulder To Look For Xenu
Oro Out
Dude, wtf? I feel...deprived...but am glad The Dark Knight has been completed. Damn, why did you have to do it???
~*~
I have been re-reading Andre Norton's Witch World books and damn, are they good. Or at least, they were good until some authors, who shall go unnamed but who are known for romance and fluffery, began to write in the Witchverse as well. But I've got the 70's to go through as well as the early 80's before that begins to happen. Thank goodness.
~*~
Forgot what else I had to say. Guess the Heath Ledger news has thrown me for a loop.
Oro out.
PS: Oscar thoughts? I've seen very few of the flicks, so I can't really say, but for those of you who have, what are your picks?
Can y'all give Perchance some advice?
Oro
Everyone's favorite Naked Ovary is back - and she's pregnant!!
Now, if only a new recipe at Chez Miscarriage could be posted...
Oro out.
