CONGRATULATIONS! What better news could there ever be? I am so happy for you!

ScottyGee said...

Can I get a "HELL YEAH!"?

I am doing my Happy Canadian Majestic Beaver Our Friend To The North Dance for you.

MrsDoF said...

Okay, I'll uncross my fingers now. It was getting really hard to type with 'em that way.

OH! HOORAY FOR YOU!!! I have tears welling up in my eyes, I'm so happy for you.

Doesn't it feel good to breathe again? (Did you realize you were holding your breath while waiting for the news?)

Sweet!! Kick that cancer to the curb and don't look back!! Time to break out the happy dance!!

I just noticed that you updated your tagline in the header. Nice!

Woohoo..now get to work, ha,ha..

Nessa said...

yay for you!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you!

Susie said...

ohmygosh. Oh, Kranki! Hmmmm, this occasion clearly articulates one of the drawbacks of blogging. If we were REALLY in a neighborhood like we say we are, we would be out dancing in the streets. So, in spirit, you beautiful, wonderful, creature, we are ALL DANCING OUT IN YOUR STREET! Look out there and imagine us (if that's not too scary ;)!

Jomama said...

That is wonderful! Your good news has brightened my day :) (I bet it brightened yours too.)

This is the most beautiful blog post I have ever read! Hell yeah you kicked its ass!!!

Susie said...

Turn the music up! Here, someone help me with this champagne. The cupcakes are on their way from that place in the neighborhood . . .

Lori said...

That is the best news ever today. Congratulations!!!

Susie said...

OH NO SHE DI'INT JUST DIS MY SINGING UP IN HERE!

That's it. I shall go to prepare a medley of Neil Sedaka tunes! It is ON, now, Shoshie!


Kranki, I've been here a long time, reading way back, last March when I first met you. You have been through so much, and you have been freakin' hilarious all along the way. You are my hero. Oh, wait . . .

DID YOU EVER KNOW THAT YOU'RE MY HEEEE-RO?

YOUR EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING, I WISH I COULD BEEEEE?

OK, take THAT Shoshie!

That'll have to do until I can put my REAL performance together.

I love you, Stacey. I do.

hmmmph! tell me not to sing . . .

True_Halcyon said...

Wowza- that's some powerful news! So glad you are well!

Anonymous said...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
There's my kranki victory scream. Rollins style.

And here's a little more Henry for you:
if I'd listened everything that they said to me, I wouldn't be here!
and if I took the time to bleed from all the tiny little arrows shot my way,
I wouldn't be here!
the ones who don't do anything are always the ones who try to put you down
and you could spend your entire life walking around
in the nowhere land of self doubt

this time it's real,
y o u r t i m e i s n o w . . . it's hero time!
Yeah, hero time,hey, time to shine, yeah, hero time, yeah!

Nilbo said...

Susie, you sing your ass off. And at least half of mine, too, while you're at it.

This is fabulous news, and worthy of a vocal performance from Susie and a Beaver Dance (...?) from Scotty. I, for one, will take the more mature, sedate route and have a drink in honour of you telling cancer to fuck right off - and having it listen. You rock in ways that make my jaw drop.

eclectic said...

OMG, that is FAN-FRICKIN-TASTIC!!

"Cancer? Oh yeah... THAT shit. Hmph! Kranki kicked its sorry ass in less than a year, and left it bleedin' by the side of the road, cryin' for its mama."

That's what I'm gonna say every time I hear that filthy word from now on. I'm so happy!!! We absolutely MUST celebrate! (But if my sister, Susie Fairchild, starts singing a Sedaka medley against your will, I will forcibly restrain her for you. I'm generous that way.)

OH YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Kranki, I couldn't be happier!!!!

Homestead said...

Please tell me how I explain to my co-workers the "whoop-fuck-yah" noise I just made....

"Well, yes, um, I have this friend that I've never, um, talked too.... and, well, she's CANCER FREE."

If it was me.... I'd cross-stich THAT on a pillow baby!!!!

Every day (every day)
Every day (every day)
Of the year!

Susie said...

Oh, um, Nilbo, I do so appreciate your encouragement here, to sing my ass off, but, um, the truth is, that's rather a tall, or more to the point, rather a wide, order, and um, I fear that my voice would be gone long before my ass.

Still, I do appreciate the encouragement.

Hey, kranki! Forgive me (and my husband, too) for hogging your comments. Just so excited, I keep coming back to the party!

OOH, there's Squirl! Sing it with me, sis!

Squirl said...

WOO-HOO! Oh, this is sooooooo exciting! I'm almost in tears over this.

Oh, and I'm singing with Susie. :-)

I truly believe the repeated crushing of Yoshi's head has been the factor that tipped the scales in your favor, Kranki. Its magical properties are now evident.

May I just say, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
