MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
New

• This upcoming Thursday (Nov 1) is Bea's Girls Night In: "on Thursday, November 1st, we're having a Girl-Blogger's Night In. Pour a relaxing bath, open a bottle of wine, get your favourite snacks and DVD together, bring a friend and do a facial, or just take the night off to read in bed. Blog about your evening and send me a link to the post. Then donate**, at the cancer council's website, the amount of money you would have spent on a night out. Let's make the fiftieth good deed one for the girls!"
• Kristen writes: "I see that Wishing It Would Get Easier has gone PWP. I would love to be invited so I could catch up with her."
• I may have wasted a lot of time this afternoon over here. But it's all Rebecca's fault from Clumsy Kisses. Her giveaway opened up an entire world of giveaways. Go win free things.

• Leave a wish. Support a wish.
• A sad update from Mary: "the number went up, but only by 10 points (that's 36 if you are keeping track). Not close to doubling. Staying on the meds and retesting on Tuesday, mostly as a formality. Unless there is a miracle, not much chance here. See, I knew G-d didn't really like us that much. Sad (again.) Would have been easier if we hadn't gotten that double to get our hopes up." Please leave Mary messages of support on this post. I'll make sure she gets them.
• From Here to Maternity has moved and gone somewhat password-protected. Schooch on over to her new Wordpress digs and email her at noangel139@hotmail.com.
• Dramlish seconds the return of Smarshy: "I logged on with just the purpose of asking about Smarshy. I hope someone knows what's become of him. He's written some stuff that made me almost pee my pants from laughing so loud."
• The Secret Garden has moved. You can now read it here.
