Very sorry you're going through this, Adam. I know from dealing with my Mom's stroke and death recently how hard it all is. My thoughts are with you and your wife.

Dear All Members
Please send me a PM if you have questions! ... I will try to answer them within 24-36 hours time frame.
I just wanted to check in today and managed to spend some time offline reading some of the stuff here for a hour and I just wanted to give you all an update. I might be back by September of this year right after Labor Day and because of the Holidays my family wanted to use September 2016 to February 2017 as a break in the action and having said this - I will be moving to a new place in April of 2017 and hopefully we will have all the major moves done by August of this year.
We have 7 buyers for my Dad's house and hopefully by the end of April - his place will be sold as it is. Right now, me and my brother are in negotiation stages with the 7 buyers and hopefully one of them will buy it altogether. Once this happen, and we all play our cards right - we can get all the major moves done by the end of August.
I should be back full time around September of this year and I'm going to take my time to move into a new place in April and cut back my online status by 1/2 and still manage to participate here. I canceled all my subscriptions to Comixology and stopped reading comics until October of this year.
Anyway, this is all I know and I just wanted to check in with you and I have to go to see my brother in a few minutes from now and do some planning to do.
Please send me a PM if you have any questions.
Thanks Everyone!

I got water in my eyes y'all. :-) I'm glad to be a part of this place.
What my wife does know, through her uncle, the youngest brother, is she is much more alert and cognizant. They were planning on dialysis but I don't know if she improved with or without it. But they did so an ultrasound on her kidneys. She is making urine and appears to be feeling a lot better. OU hospital is going to keep her under observation for 3-5 more days before sending her back home for whatever treatments she still might need. What caused it they either still don't know or those with that information are withholding it we don't know. My wives two sisters that are RNs are there and hopefully they can find something out. As her recovery is all that is important.

Hmm, apparently our former home CBR was sold recently by Jonah Weiland to Valnet Inc. I wonder how that will affect things.

My younger daughter has officially tabbed tomorrow as "Terrible Tuesday", as she has no "specials" (art, music, gym, library) at school, nor does she have the Gifted program to go to (that is on Wednesdays). As such, she told my wife tonight that she is going to dress in all black tomorrow to "mourn the day", including black nail polish and black eye makeup.
She's two weeks shy of her 8th birthday, and I feel like I should burn her a Cure or Joy Division mix CD from my collection. Where have I gone wrong, or maybe, have things gone right?

Sounds okay to me.

Another institution gets the whole concept of integration completely wrong, by dispensing male students from shaking the hand of female professors on religious grounds. Naturally, many citizens saw that as an inacceptable official acceptance that it's okay to discriminate between men and women if you have an excuse. ArticleA remarkably unenlightened individual even had this disingenuous statement: I'd feel tempted to tell the man " No, you effin' (EXPLETIVE DELETED), they demand that you treat them like human beings!!!" What the %$# is so hard to understand about that concept? Your culture is your own, your beliefs are your own, but in our society men and women are to be treated like equals. End of discussion. If you disagree, prepare to be ostracized. And don't you dare complain about it afterwards. Clowns like that make a whole lot of decent folks look bad by association, and that's a crying shame. *post edited after the expletive, in its undeleted form, was judged inappropriate.*

I'd feel tempted to tell the man " No, you effin' (***EXPLETIVE EDITED OUT AFTER THE COMMENT BELOW***), A much more offensive term to some of us than the garden-variety 4-letter words some mods around here wring their hands over, BTW.

Yes, but you'll notice I didn't actually call him that... As I said, it's what I'd feel tempted to tell him. It's, whatchoocall... a hypothetical.

As I said, it's what I'd feel tempted to tell him. It's, whatchoocall... a hypothetical. I have to agree with Dan on this one, though I don't think we "wring our hands" over the 4-letter ones either, they're just not appropriate on a family friendly board. And I don't think that one really is appropriate as well. It's been used far too often as an insult to or about people with developmental issues.
No hand wringing, just my 2 cents.

You'd wring your hands if given an innocent baby banana to strangle, I'll bet.
