Can you imagine how grossed out everyone would be if we posted pictures of our spleens? Oh heck, I'm still grossed out by the whole thing! (I also have a picture of the drainage tube they had to stick into me when my pancreas was leaking. Now that is really gross.) Well, I suppose no news is good news, right? Maybe? I'm thinking of you, hon! Take care of yourself as best as possible!

I completely agree. Gorgeous screencap! Makes me want to grab my DVD and watch it all over again.

Very true! But I was still shocked to hear she mops the kitchen floor every day. (Was it twice a day?) Amazing.

Exactly! Another Jon and Kate Plus 8 fan here. The kids are sooo cute, and I love how OCD the mom is.

Oh my goodness, your hemoglobin is 5.4?? Mine was down to 7 at the lowest, and my hematologist was freaking out. I can't imagine 5.4. You must be so tired. But yeah, my spleen was huge, too. I have pictures of them removing it during surgery. So gross. Hang in there. I'm thinking of you, and hope to hear some positive news soon!

Well, take heart--you're not alone! We can commiserate together.

LOL, I kind of miss it, but it was causing a lot of problems. It was enlarged and then I got mono when I was in London, so it got even more enlarged (gross) and the doctors were afraid it would rupture so I was put on steroids...then a couple years later I got food poisoning in Mexico and my hemoglobin dropped and I almost needed a blood transfusion. So that's when I decided to get my spleen removed. And that caused other problems, because the surgeon accidentally cut my pancreas during surgery. That took about 2 years to heal and then I had my gall bladder out! I do wish I were "complete," though. With all my organs and everything. I feel sort of ultra-fragile without my spleen. And having your gall bladder out changes the way you eat. At least it did for me.

That's amazing! My mom was 15 when she met my dad, and they're still married after 35 years. Me? I'm single, and seem to find something wrong with every guy I date. (I think because of all the jerks I've dated.) But at the same time, I really want to fall in love and live happily ever after! It's such a problem.

Oh, Anouk, I didn't know all of this was going on! I know how much health issues suck. I have a hereditary blood disorder, and because of that I've had my spleen removed too, and my gall bladder. Fun, fun times I can tell you. I hope the doctors can figure out how to stabilize everything that's going on with you, and clear up the infections so you can go home soon!

Oh, you must sit through the DVD! It'll get you so excited to see him in concert. (Which you will! Don't give up! And it will feel like this: ) When I bought the DVD, I admit I sat down with my sister and we watched everything. And then we watched it all again! Awww, your vid is from the Kool Haus! My one and only Mika concert (so far)! He was amazing. That was seriously the best show ever. I was on cloud 9...10! (Is there a cloud 10?)

Awww, yeah we are related. (Although she won't always admit to that, lol.) And yes, I am a lucky duck (er...chicken?) that she asked Mika if he'd meet her sister. And sweet man that he is, he took a picture with me even though he originally said no. I felt slightly guilty about that, but I love my picture oh-so-much, and I think he knew how much it would mean to me. I wish I could thank him again for being so generous. And I suppose I'm grateful to my sister. (Alright, I admit it. I wub her, lol.)

Just a few more jeans pics... Hellooo skinny jeans! Always love seeing this one...classic shot... One of my favorite, favorite Mika outfits. The jeans are amazing, and I think I love it so much because I have the same shoes and they're my fav pair!

This one has got to be one of my all-time favorites. *stares* Thank you, Kary! And I also love our boy in jeans. I'm usually not a fan of ripped jeans, but Mika makes anything look amazing. Just look at him! :mf_lustslow:

It's OK--there are a lot of threads in this forum! And yeah, I love, love that Mika's song is supporting a green network. He had to approve it, so obviously he's all for being earth-friendly. Since I am too, I think it's just one more reason to love him. (Will the reasons ever end, lol?)

Yep! My sister already started a thread about this: http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14903&highlight=Planet+Green-+Love+Today We saw the commercials weeks ago and freaked out. Who would have thought Mika would be on US TV for Planet Green? He totally rocks.

I second that! Thank you, Caro!!!

I don't know if I have that saved to my computer yet (probably--a few times:roftl: ) but I saved it again. He looks amazing! Oh, I wonder how many times I've saved my favorite pictures under different names?

Just as a crazy side note: 'Squirrel' is one of the funniest words ever. I love it. And a few years ago I read in the news that rabid squirrels were chasing people around in some part of England, and one had actually jumped on a woman! She was quoted as saying "I'll never trust squirrels again!" I thought that was so funny it became my favorite quote for weeks.

Awww, well said, Deb! This definitely is a unique forum. People seem to care, which I find unbelievable sometimes, because I've been on forums were people don't even read what anyone else says. They just care about their post count, and spamming the forums. MFC is different, and I love that. I wish I could post more, and get to know everyone more, but...*sigh*...darn real life. Still, I'm glad to be a member of the MFC.

Smart people know who Mika is. I've informed everyone I know, and I get a lot of "He's gay" comments, too, but I also work with a lot of people who are fans. When I discovered his music at the end of the last year, some of my friends were like, "Um...where were you six months ago when we played his CD all the time?" (I work in a bookstore that also sells CDs. Apparently they played Mika a lot in the spring/summer, and I was just...oblivious.) I totally agree. Stadium shows would be seriously depressing. No intimacy, and no meeting Mika before/after shows at all.

I won't mind changes as long as the forums still work the way they do now. These forums are so easy to use, and so intuitive. Hanson.net changed the way their forums look and how you post, and it's so confusing and horrible looking that I never post there anymore. I'm here instead. He just noticed we were down because he missed his nightly puruse of the MFC.

Hmmm...so Midnight Sun will be Twilight from Edward's persepective, but Jacob's book will take place after Eclipse? I can't keep up with all of her POVs.

Haha, awesome! One of the first CDs I owned. And currently I am listening to...nothing. But the last thing I listened to was: Letters in the Mailbox - Hanson

OOOH! I didn't know there was already a title for Edward's book. Thanks for the info! Sooo...won't we already know how the series ends by the time we get to Edward's book? Or does the Edward book continue after the Bella ones end? (And a Jacob book, too. Hmmm...)

I'm still resisting...still trying to resist... (However, I am buying the special edition of Eclipse on Sunday, so I may not be resisting much longer.) Wow, that would be something. I think it's going to be amazing, no matter what. But I like your theory. Have we established that Breaking Dawn is for sure the last book in the Twilight series? I'm still not sure about that. And what about that book Stephenie Meyer said she was writing about Edward's perspective from Twilight? Is that Breaking Dawn, or an additional book? (Because really, it can't be BD or it would be a storyline we already know.) Sorry for the questions, but no one's ever cleared that up for me, and I've been wondering.
