Well, honey bought me my three skeins of yarn to finish off my g/f's baby blanket. The baby's room is blue and brown with a giraffe theme. Nice. Since I won't be attending the baby shower I'll have it finished and maled. It is nice to receive things in the mail. She and her hubby are the two nicest folks...
When I had my first discussion about Radiotherapy I was told that at my hospital there are two schools of thought on the impact of different time cycles. One Doc likes to use a shorter cycle whilst the other prefers a longer cycle.
