When high streets are flooded and the weather-people don their waders, usually absolutely everything is shut. But I have just looked up 'waffle house' on the Google, and apparently there is a British chain with... two outlets. Organic waffles and Fairtrade coffee. Hm, possibly not quite the same.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11434203006496814327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-69502237281347894062012-02-14T22:49:17.709+11:002012-02-14T22:49:17.709+11:00Thank you, Stacy.

Good thing you don't discriminate against us non-praying types - I'm sending healthy wishes and thoughts your way. Also, I know it is incredibly irritating to leave anything advice-like in people's blog comments, so I promise I am cringing as I write this, but can I just repeat my recommendation of 'Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom' by Christiane Northrup? Get Jason to read it!

I texted Cheryl after I re-read your first post about all this the other day and told her that if she was diagnosed I would be on the first plane out of TX to CO, ONE WAY, no questions asked and send for my stuff later. We're praying fervently for you all, and Mom & Dad put you on their prayer list at their church... they're cute like that. I wish I was closer, but know that you are loved by many in Dallas, TX and a few others in Colorado Springs, CO ;-)Cristyn Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337301366439672581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897882981515430685.post-75718630866497391762012-02-13T17:07:00.944+11:002012-02-13T17:07:00.944+11:00LOL!

I know you're not feeling too lucky right now, but in the man department? You are. And you have every right to be as pissy as you want, because you have cancer and that does give you certain perks. And my guess is that he knows this.
