These include supporting and helping my sister through her now-ongoing illness, so the greeting cards I found hit me when I was most vulnerable.
There was a great segment on 60 Minutes tonight about treating cancer and tumors with a Polio virus that's modified to not cause Polio. Apparently tumors and other cancers come with a built-in cloaking device that shields them from the immune system. But they aren't cloaked for the Polio virus. When the virus is introduced, it attacks these cells on its own which then alerts the immune system that there is Polio present. In turn, the immune system then does all the heavy lifting, attacking what appears to be Polio, which is at the time in the process of displacing the cancerous cells.
It was truly an amazing watch.

Some great sharing this weekend. Endgame... Della... Pouncer... All of you. Doing what it takes to live sober, make changes. Inspiring and wonderful to read about. If even just in the snippets of a post. Thank you.
Well well.... What have we here? A sober Monday on our hands? How will we use the learning of a sober weekend to turn things into a second and a third and.... I had to learn how to manage long stretches of time differently.
Excited to be going to work today. Had enough alone time.
Next weekend's thread start on Thursday morning EST. These threads have grown a lot over the last two weeks. Interesting.
I have a busy day... If we chat to 500 can someone please post that they have alerted a mod to flip the bus! If you post then multiple people won't all do the same thing.
Happy sober Monday everyone! I am grateful for today. Thank you!

I witnessed a horrible tragedy this morning. Fortunately being on the scene I was able to save those I could. But it was just too late for some.
The scene unfolds with a bowl full of cheerios. After adding a handful of blueberries I took the container of milk and proceeded to pour it into the bowl.
Not being fully awake, or just not paying attention, it was too late after a few ounces of what appeared to be liquified cottage cheese tumbled into my bowl of fruit and cereal. Rather throw a fit, I rescued the blueberries and rinsed them off - just ate em. Cheerios have been put to rest I'm afraid.
The good news - bacon is crackling on the stove as we speak
And I had a raisin thomas english muffin as a consolation prize.
Gonna be quite a week here. Place is a mess. Still haven't determined whether or not I qualify for medical deduction on my taxes and I go on Thursday. I need to get a visa pronto cause I already purchased plane tix.
It's cold and dark with heavy clouds.

Checking in this morning. Teach today, so I need to re-review the lecture today, prof is having a study session at 5p for the final exam tomorrow, so I am going. I have to try to go over some more things for the final exam as well.
I saw the 60 minutes piece as well. Very interesting.

Weasel – My apartment walls are thin too. There is a couple that lives upstairs and it can get loud! They are really nice, but I need a change. I'm moving at the end of April into a condo and there is an upstairs and downstairs. It'll be great cause no one up or below that I need to worry about.
LBrain – Sorry to hear about the morning tragedy! I had Multi-Grain Cheerios for breakfast and wish I had bacon like you.
Strategery – Have fun teaching today and good luck with your final exam tomorrow. You'll do great!
EndGameNYC – Sorry to hear about the Valentine's Day card that you found yesterday. I'm happy you're sober now and can remember things now!
BigSombrero – Hope you haven't come down with any flu symptoms today from your ladyfriend.
Pouncer – People are just nuts! Sorry that you and your son had to witness that in the restaurant.
Hope everyone has a good one and I'll see you later!

Brain, I had horrible visions of a certain scene in Minority Report when I read that. Gag. Glad the blueberries were saved.
Strat, good luck on your studying, teaching and exam. Hopefully the study session is worth while.
Twal, not having upstairs or downstairs neighbors will be great. You can jump around all you like. I hope the walls are well insulated.
HaF, I love your positive attitude! Work will be fun this week. I hope so. I'm jealous of the extended weekends that newpage and Della have. No long weekend for me.
We're so short staffed that I've been denied days off. The powers that be better figure it out because I'm not giving them 23 days vacation. We are no longer allowed to carry over more than 5 vacation days. Use them or lose them and I lost four days from last year.
