That is sad news. What's her prognosis? Is there still a chance she might pull through?

I don't know why so many Xs seem to need to keep their hooks in the LBS-- they want to go off and be with OP, but don't want the LBS to be happy without them. I think it shows they're more conflicted than they let on. Even if they don't want to come back, they don't like to think they can also be replaced.

I'm sorry you had such a crappy weekend. You seem to feel much better when you get out-- when's your next social network event?
