Anyone do something unique this weekend?

I got woken up by the 3 AM phone call by a drunk female who wanted to come over discuss her feelings. I'm not sure how unique it was but I sure wasn't expecting it.

now the question of the day. Did you know who it was?
 
last weekend...monterey jazz festival, next generation...middle school, high school, and college performers from all over the west coast staying at local hotels and mostly guys, mind you, and lots of noise, messed up local bathrooms, and alcohol galore

previous weekend...major multi breed horse show

weekend before that...once a year local arts, crafts, and music show with food and live entertainment, plus i attended a high enery all girl punk rock show the night before

normally, i have very quiet weekends and stay at home, read, do research/homework, and just sit around at the mall (starbucks and borders)...and i plan to have the next six months or so be very boring and uneventful on the weekends since i more that exert enough energy during the working week with work, chores, and study
 
Good for you, emw, supporting the fundraiser for AML research. If your friends have any trouble getting good information about the disease, speak up, because there are plenty of support groups and good websites.

Oddly enough, I didn't...lol

Yeah, it was a girl that I was involved with a couple years back. We had a falling out but recently we got back in touch and zaniness has ensued.
 
i got yet another illness (going on 2 months of being sick) so whilst nursing a cold i sanded my coffee table and will be applying finish to it tonight. also made a shelf from scratch. (used a table saw to make my cuts and everything. go me.) if i were not sick it would all be done. i'd take my brand of sickness over leukemia anyday though.
 
I went to a leadership conference in Green Bay, WI with almost 1000 other kids from all across the state.

It was really fun. 🙂
 
had a birthday party for my 2 year old daughter then we all went to watch our local small-town parade.

it was all very Mayberry RFD.
 
Three words:

Thunder Over Louisville

It's the biggest fireworks show in the United States, and it kicks off the two week long Kentucky Derby Festival.

800,000 people packed the river front in both Louisville and Southern Indiana to watch this year, the biggest crowd ever in the 17 year history of the event.

Some friends of ours from our running club have twin sons, one of whom was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) at only a couple of months old. In fact, he's now only 8 months old. After undergoing significant amounts of treatment, he is in remission and the doctors are quite hopeful that he is completely cured, which is the case for many of these types of cases.

I hope it really is a cure, but I'll ask this just in case: Are the boys identical twins or fraternal twins? I ask because if the AML returns, an identical twin is guaranteed to be suitable marrow donor, while a fraternal twin may or may not match.

They're identical. Hopefully it won't return though. I've read up on it a little bit, although I'm not an expert, and it appears that the "permanent remission" rate is pretty good. Fingers are crossed.
