Health Update

I'm happy to report that I'm about 90% over my cold that I caught from Gaetano. He's about 80% better with a cough and congestion still lingering. At the begining of this month, I had a chest x-ray done because I was experiencing some pain on my right rib cage. When I inhaled it was obvious that my right side was very different. A lump could be felt along my rib cage where it hurt. As it turned...

Simply Sushi - Order Online

Those who know me well, know just how much I love sushi. I've said many times, "I wish there were such a thing as sushi delivery". I especially felt this way the past couple of weeks having been unable to drive. Unfortunately right now the budget is ultra-tight and except for the gift certificate for a local sushi place I got for Christmas, I'll not be buying sushi once a week again for...

I Want Purple

Gaetano's sick again with a fever. :-( He didn't want to take Tylenol this morning, exclaiming he wanted "purple". So what's a mom to do? Add a drop of blue food color of course! Good thing he didn't want yellow...

What's XFN?

Nobody can explain XFN better than its creators, Tantek Çelik , Matthew Mullenweg , and Eric Meyer . At the request of Eric, I'll be making an extension based on the XFN Creator for Dreamweaver. I'm honored to be involved. Yes, I know as of this post I haven't XFN'd my links yet. I'll do them once I've finished writing the extension.;-)

Surgery Update

Thanks to everyone who has sent their well wishes. I appreciate it, and it has helped me keep my spirits up. Ordinarily I would be an emotional wreck, but this time has been different because of friends and family who care. Huge thanks to Andrea (my sister-in-law) & John (my brother) for picking me up and letting me stay with them. Special thanks to Dan too for making me laugh just prior to...

Osteochondroma Right Tibia

In less than 11 hours I'll be having an exostosis, a bone growing out from a bone, removed. The official diagnosis is Osteochondroma Right Tibia, which means a bone tumor that is usually benign, growing from the right tibia. In my x-ray, it looks like a sprig of brocolli. Right now my biggest worry is the anesthesia and whether to do general or spinal. Both have different risk factors, and from...

Mats, Selects, and JavaScript

It is always nice when I can help Dan with work, considering he's always helping me with things. About the only two things I ever help him with are JavaScript and Regular Expressions, because he claims he's allergic to them. :-) This time, I helped him take a user's selection in a popup window and select the right item in a select list in the parent window. If you look at Lary McKee's site ,...
