Hurricane Mikey...Updated


Hurricane Mikey is having emergency surgery right now.  Blood clots in lungs and damage to his heart.  He's having emergency surgery today.  What horrible, horrible news.  I saw Linda Lou's title and was hoping it was a joke.  You can read her post here:  PLEASE PRAY FOR HURRICANE MIKEY

I got a "missed call" from Mikey last night while I was at Seabrook.  When I called back there was no answer....I wonder if it was his sister calling....

UPDATE:

I didn't have my cell phone with me this morning because I gave it to my son, who was at Founder's Day. So he finally got home with my cell and I called Mikey's number.

Mamasan answered the phone.  I explained who I was and she was so gracious, kind and friendly.  Fruit doesn't fall far from the tree I suppose.

Mamasan said Mikey's sister found him not breathing and called 9-1-1.  Time was definitely of the essence.  Thank God she found him in time.

Mikey is out of surgery but his condition is still quite serious.  There was alot of information to absorb....he had an embolism and open heart surgery....which was very very serious with some complications.  He's out of surgery though and is able to talk a little.

Mamasan said he was being a pain so he was like his old self.  :)

I really don't know all the details, but I just keep thinking what if this happened while he was alone in Vegas?  I truly think things happen for a reason.  Mikey hauled his ass home to his family, right when he needed them most.  Thank God.

Mikey we wish you all the best baby!  Take care.  You'll be in my heart, thoughts and prayers.

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.

The Very Josie was Very fun yet I'm Very frustrated. (looking at you Jordan) We ended up with (13) players.  Not too shabby, considering it was Dank night. The players were: 1. Coop 2. Frankie Baby 3. Gary 4. Jordan 5. Kattitude 6. Lucky Duck 7. Memphis Mojo 8. The Lovely Very Josie 9. WolfsButt, I mean Wolfshead :P 10. Edgie??? 11. GoBurn1 12. My sis, PrettyCat1 a/k/a Cricket 13. Baynes Baynes made an entrance showing up a tiny bit late, but what a pleasant surprise.  I could've kissed that frog!  (frog avatar)  Baynes I think you can leave work at a decent time one a month, right?  The Very Josie is only once a month! 2 tables.  I started off with Mojo, Kat, Edgie, GoBurn1, Baynes & Ducky at my table.  Started off playing good and stayed that way.  Caught some decent cards early on and kept the chips I won.  But that Damn Mojo was a thorn in my side for the whole game.  He got MORE chips early on and held onto them too.  Mojo will now be called Nem
