Now for something completely different..

I need to make a quick, serious interruption to this otherwise sparkle-pony blog. It seems like we have entered another doom bubble for people i love. My grandmother is in the hospital. I got a "suicide hotline" call from a friend at midnight. My mother is in the hospital. My bestest friend, Rickki, goes under the knife tomorrow for her back. I am fine, but it is like everyone around me is falling to pieces, so here is a request - okay, make that 2 requests: 1. could we have a little sound off here so that i know you are alive, or e-mail/call/text me to tell me you are okay, 2. could you hold my family (and their doctors) in your belief system - prayers, kind thoughts, candle lighting, chanting, whatever - since apparently we could use all the help we can get right now. Thanks!
