Whole lotta great music on that list so far, Deb! I love Lenny Kravitz! Have you ever heard Nicole Nordeman? She's done a cover of "In Your Eyes" -- I think it was 2 years ago now -- and it's really, really good, not that Peter Gabriel needed any help...

I read your last post, but didn't have words then to respond, so I'm responding here instead. This thing you're fighting is horrendous, certainly. But it is not omnipotent. It can't win every time. And I am praying with every fiber of my being that THIS time, it will have its sorry ass kicked when you emerge from this procedure. Hugs to your brother, and hugs to you, too! You just can't be done here on this earth yet, Deb. So I'm visualizing you healthy and strong, believing it will happen. Join me, won't you?

I'll be gone for a week, but you are in my thoughts and prayers even though I won't be on-line. I have tasked the Sisters to put my share of nonsense here in your comments while I'm away, and I'm counting on you to alert me if they've fallen down on the job, OK? Strength and peace to you,
love,
~Shari

Now isn't that special-Ms Eclectic tells the
whole world that WE are in charge of her
chatter here while she is gone. As if we don't
hog enough space in your comment section.

It dawned on me this AM with my bleary eyes
sans my reading glasses. When I read "the sisters" I know what you mean. I am so literal
that I wonder if others think it is some type
of religious order. But if they read what we
all write they would know it is NOT a religious
order. See what happens in my head when I need
a little more sleep.

I love your Ipod library so far because I love
Elton John and Lenny Kravits and Moulin Rouge.
I don't buy many DVD's but Moulin Rouge found
it's way into my house. I think I have seen
the movie about 40 times.

I will visit later with a cup of tea. Hopefully
that will jump start my brain and I will sound
a little more intelligent.

What a wonderful list! I'm a huge Elton John fan. That is so cool about "Just You, Just Me". I'm going to search iTunes right now to find it.
Hugs!
Trish

I am giving you the weekend off no Yiddish
lessons.

I am "liking" your Ipod songs. Whoa your Grandfather wrote a song? I am in awe of anybody that can write music, sing music, play music.

I sure hope you are feeling better today. Did
those boxes pack themselves while you were sleeping?

You know we call MY chicken soup the elixir of
the GODS. I make a mean chicken/matzo ball soup.

I think when I saw Mrs. Bush in the stands
last night at the Olympics she was waving HI
to you. I thought she was mouthing HI DEBUMA.
I read lips you know and I am pretty sure that
is what she was saying.

Give yourself a big old hug from me.

Everytime I read someone else's music list I realize how totally un-cool I am but since you listed Willie Nelson's Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground I feel a little more cool, if only for a moment. (And now my English tutor, 10-year old Cody, has come and told me that my statement above is a 'run-on sentence'. I am hopelessly uncool and I can't speak or write correctly.)

All things considered from an un-cool mom in the next-door state, I keep you in my thoughts and will think of you and your brother as you both prepare for transplant. I'll visualize his cells being strong and able and your body being ready to embrace them and together, the two of you kicking cancer's feeble ass!

Cool List Girl!!!
You just reminded me about some of the songs I'd
forgotten. I LOVE my IPOD. It is also very easy to download your own cds into the IPOD. Thanks for your inspiration, I'm going to the online music store myself!

Aren't you coming here for dinner? I set a place
for you. I will send the kids next door so
you won't get "cooties". I have beef tenderloin,smashed taters, green beans, and
a pie. Sam made a apple pie sans sugar they
are great. I will wait for you to get here. We
are the 3rd house on the left side of the
street. OY VEY Sam will get you from the
airport. Don't putz around I am getting hungry,
and we have wine too. Don't pack a bag we have
everything you would need.

PS we are staying up late and telling stories
and eating just a few very few hershey kisses

Love and Happiness. Baby, I lived through the original of that. It's one of the all time greats. Also saw Al Green in concert with the Isley Brothers a couple of years ago. For just great funk, sexy music and happy making noise, lovely.

Deb, we love ya. F*'em if they can't take a joke, is what I always say.

Prayers and prayers and prayers for you are streaming your way.

I do hope your cold is getting better. I finally
woke up and it's now 8:00 pm. I will be up all night long, I drank way too much hot tea.

I did make time to go to church today. I dedicated
every prayer to you.

Squeeze a stuffed animal tonight.

Love,
Nikki

deb,
i've been away for a couple of days and just checking in. i'm going to go give blood in your honor tomorrow -- i'm thinking of you and holding you in my heart. xo kristin

Stopped in to say goodnight.

Your fake sister Lisabeth is el stuckaroo
in Rhode Island with about 18" of snow. She
is FREAKING OUT. She is not used to snow
like that since she lives in the land of
wain, wain, and more wain. Yes I know it
is spelled RAIN. I told her that will snow
is just a form of rain. She was not happy
with me. :)

comic relief here.

Big hugs,
Shoshie

One song I recommend: Precious by Depeche Mode. Actually, I recommend their latest album.

Hello Houston:

I suppose you have 36 appointments today no?
Anyway I wanted you to know I am thinking about
you. Of course I am praying for you. If I get
any good jokes today in my mail I will be back.
I will be back anyway. We are such pests.

XOXO
Nikki

I am so hopelessly uncool, I don't even have an Ipod, but IF I did, I'd take lessons from you. I love your taste in music, I can sing most of these (badly, but still). You're in my heart, and my voice is added to the zillion others, from whom God is hearing your name CONSTANTLY, until He finally says, "Alright, already, I'll take care of this, just shut up, wouldja?!"

I don't have an iPod, either. It sounds cool, though. Great list.

I think Susie may be right about God hearing your name so often. On the off chance that he's not though, I'll be praying for you, too.

Hugs.

Wait, Nikki and the Sisters aren't a band of rogue nuns?

Sez who?

Wow-the teacher is late today. But I am here with your Yiddish word. The word of the day is Ess, which means eat. A favorite word with my family.
This particular word you have too use a few times. We would say come on ess, ess, ess.

We missed you last night at the dinner table. But
I wrapped your plate up for later.
Good Luck with your day today.

Love, love, love
Shoshie

I see any news I ever have Shoshie tells you.
Now I am in an airport with 5 million (slight
exaggeration) people. But I am a techie I guess
using my hubbies wireless laptop saying HI.

He is off in search of food for me. You must think all the sister's ever do is ess. We ess,
ess quite a bit.

It's really easy to put your own CD's on your
ipod. If I can accomplish that feat you certainly can. I still can't program my coffee
maker to go off in the morning. But I am not
one for reading directions.

My kids are all praying for you and so are the
parents.

Lisabeth

No good jokes yet but the day is still young.

I just realized your Weird Ipod Play List"
the short version WIPL. You may have coined
a new word. The WIPL list on your IPOD.

Nikki

I have cleaned out a room for you. Whenever
you come it has your name on it-DEBUMA. Cuz
you know when this is all behind you. I am
dragging you and Zoe here. Tell Zoe I may
steal her striped tights from her. Zoe can
bunk with my younger daughter she is 8.

You can teach me the Texas drawl. While I
drill you on your Yiddish.

Shoshie
