Have Fun in the American Midwest ... Be the First

The American Midwest is heavily-populated by Swedes and Germans who are not allowed to have fun ... ever.  Instead they have to eat sauerkraut and pretend to like it as if that stuff was ever good for more than staving off starvation during WWII (true).

Note:  this is a hoax since Germans I know in Germany have been much funnier than Americans lately.  Do not ever miss a chance to hear Cat telling stories about when she went roaming about Europe with her son.  You will be laughing so hard you won't be able to lift yourself back up from the floor.


Ed:  what fun is there in the middle of a cancer war?

This isn't about any war but rather we're trying to maintain.  One of the shittiest things which can ever happen is here so deal with it.

Note:  I'm immensely proud to report Yevette is dealing with it and staying as cool as she possibly can.


We were advised the third day is when it starts to really suck but Yevette was playing with Twitter a moment ago.  I had worried as maybe she wouldn't be able to do anything but so far that's not true.  I'm Quartermaster support but I'm also Tea and Sympathy on the home front.  I'm more than willing but I wasn't really sure what it would mean.

One thing I know now is Yevette is sleeping far more than usual and that makes it all pass faster so that's great.

Ed:  it sounds like you seek absolution in this

There's a good chance everyone does in one way or another but, even if absolution or redemption is a fantasy, I don't see a bit of harm in working for it anyway.

Don't read any of that to mean, oh hell, it's nothing.  It does suck but Yevette is managing.  Respect.


Two types of anti-nausea drugs have been prescribed and they do seem to give some benefit but they don't come close to turning this into a cakewalk.  There is ganja should she be interested to try it but I'm not promoting it since she's well aware it is here.

If she does choose to try the ganja for nausea relief since that's widely-reported as a true benefit, that would come with the discipline of the League of Extraordinary Guitarists.  Take one tok and one tok only, please.  Don't hang onto the smoke like the Universe will end if you fail.  Take that one tok; savor the goodness; set it free.  Experience the Oneness.

Ed:  om, om, om

Laugh if you like, cabron.


There's more comedy than one might expect and it's not dark coffin comedy but rather something is funny or it's not.

Ed:  and you're not

Sometimes I am but, regrettably, that is not usually concomitant with any typing activity.

There's more laughing than you would likely expect and that's been surprising me too but the thinking is much about the possibly mythical radio broadcaster who started each show from London during the Battle of Britain by saying, "You've got to larf."

And sure we do since it keeps us alive.


Some of you know Yevette and worry about her.  No-one wants a cancer travelogue so I mean to let you know without spilling the details of her life everywhere.  If you have a question then feel free to ask it in Comments.  I will try to answer it so long as it doesn't spill Yevette's life all over the funny papers.

So far it's like Richard Pryor when he walked into the jail with Gene Wilder in "Silver Streak" and they tried to impress the other cons by bobbing up and down and saying, "We cool; we cool."

So far, we are staying cool and have every determination to stay that way.
