All the News That Fits

[lawnrrd]

The good news is that Leo came home on Wednesday, and is doing well. He's certainly in a lot less pain than in any of the previous operations. Although the hospital had him on morphine overnight, we've been able to give him Tylenol and Motrin only, and he's been mostly comfortable. He also seems glad to have the expanders out of his back, and I certainly don't blame him.

The better news is that after a few days in ninth place in voting for the Eight Hunks of Hanukkah, I am back in eighth place. Since only the top eight contestants qualify, eighth place is a big improvement over ninth place.

The bad news is that Lauren and I both qualify as disaster areas. We have both been badly stressed for a while. We're both exhausted, especially Lauren, who hasn't had a good night's sleep in, oh, about fifteen months.

The worse news is that I'm only two votes ahead of the guy in ninth place, and that cat is still twelve votes ahead of me. Folks, cats are warm, fuzzy, and darned cute. But they aren't hunks.

I was vote #99 and 116 for you and I'm not competeing against you. I consider that doing my part. Sometimes it is handy to have two ljs, even if one rarely sees the light of day.

I'm happy to put up pictures, but keep in mind that my mother-in-law reads this, and we don't want to scare her too badly.

Now, now. That cat'll get what's coming. Just trust in karma.

How many times are we allowed to vote?!?

[lawnrrd]

Well, you can vote once for as many of the candidates as you like, but I think it will allow you to submit only one set of votes from a single email address. Now, you can always create a whole bunch of disposable Hotmail accounts or something, but that's probably not showing the right spirit.

But I'll bet that's what the cat is doing.

Hey, congrats on third, you're beating the cat!

[leswamp.livejournal.com]

Voted for you in 8 hunks. Best of luck. :)

[lawnrrd]

Thanks very much. I can't tell you how important it is for me to beat the cat. Not just for me, but for America.

LOL.

Agreed.

(Also voted for the dog.)
