Today's gut-grabbing news out of Virginia Tech brought me out of my funk in a strange way.
It's truly horrible what happened out there, and you all know that. But it brought our recent scare, as well as my whole attitude toward the twins, into a little more focus.
I'll never complain about having twins again. How can I after seeing so many kids - and they still are kids - have their lives cut short.
And though Friday's scare in the hospital was worrisome, even a little terrifying at times, the twins would have a great chance of pulling out of it, to the degree that talking about the alternative probably isn't even necessary. We have hope, and it grows stronger every day Kate can carry those twins.
Yes, she's miserable right now, but she's carrying a couple new lives. I know the parents of those students would give anything to trade with us.
My heart goes out to them.

This situation isn't nearly as dire, but today I got a letter from one of my favorite sites, Pandora.
"I'm writing today to ask for your help. The survival of Pandora and all of Internet radio is in jeopardy because of a recent decision by the Copyright Royalty Board in Washington, DC to almost triple the licensing fees for Internet radio sites like Pandora. The new royalty rates are irrationally high, more than four times what satellite radio pays and broadcast radio doesn't pay these at all. Left unchanged, these new royalties will kill every Internet radio site, including Pandora.
In response to these new and unfair fees, we have formed the SaveNetRadio Coalition, a group that includes listeners, artists, labels and webcasters. I hope that you will consider joining us.
Please sign our petition urging your Congressional representative to act to save Internet radio.
Please sign the petition. I'm a big fan of Internet radio and would hate to see something else in my life screwed with (like online poker) because of Congress.

Thus it would appear that all wishes cialis are of the same value and force for the dream formation.. They were close to the Tutt House now, and her limp, that had entirely disappeared as they emerged from thyroid the woods, now became quite perceptible.. It was not flagyl half an hour more before he returned, wild with excitement--in a perfect Irish fury--which it was long before I understood.. I can easily demonstrate the connecting phentermine links.. Examples on this point would prove of little value, as fentanyl nothing but a complete unveiling of the complication in question would carry conviction.. Owing to this retarded appearance of the secondary processes, the ranitidine essence of our being, consisting in unconscious wish feelings, can neither be seized nor inhibited by the foreconscious, whose part is once for all restricted to the indication of the most suitable paths for the wish feelings originating in the unconscious.. These West Indian years were the great days of the family, said Titbottom, with an air of majestic and regal regret, pausing and musing in our little parlor, like a late Stuart in phentermine exile, remembering England.. The girl then ushered them into the back parlor, saying, Here's phentermine the company.. What we have left unfinished in this discussion thyroid of the dream-wish we shall be able to develop later.. It was not there, but Ralph yasmin was.. All the rest acyclovir of us waited grimly for our four hours, and adjourned without any action.. At last this state of things grew doxycycline awkward.. Master Homer's exhibition of learning on this occasion did not reach us, but we know that it must have been considerable, since viagra he stood the ordeal.. The free indulgence of the psychic in the play of its faculties finds expression with us in the non-interference with the dream on the part robaxin of the foreconscious activity.. An hysterical woman identifies herself most readily--although not exclusively--with persons with whom she has had sexual relations, or yasmin who have sexual intercourse with the same persons as herself...
