  Nice. At least if she’s reading she can still see a copy of the track list.

• 2. Kat with a K  |  November 6, 2007 at 4:16 pm

  Feel better soon!

• 3. Suzanne  |  November 6, 2007 at 4:16 pm

  You Scorpio, you!

• 4. Lucia  |  November 6, 2007 at 4:17 pm

  Now, if it were me, I’d channel all the not-talking energy into writing and be four times as wordy as usual. I guess it’s a good thing I rarely get laryngitis. (Hot salty water. Really.)

  Are you knitting?

  Also, hi, bye, we’re movin’ on.

• 5. Cetta  |  November 6, 2007 at 4:17 pm

  Stress is a killer for the immune system

  It’s good that she’s reading so she can see how many people put here care about you!

• 6. Kathode Ray Tube  |  November 6, 2007 at 4:34 pm

  Hope you feel better. Xifey, if you are reading, put those notes away and leave our friend alone!

• 7. maryse  |  November 6, 2007 at 5:10 pm

  your voice still gone? poor thing.

  hi xifey! i’m flipping you the bird right now.

  *oh should i have written that? oh what the hell*

• 8. Carole  |  November 6, 2007 at 5:24 pm

  Feel better soon. As for xifey, don’t you have anything better to do?

• 9. Danielle  |  November 6, 2007 at 5:32 pm

  Hee hee. Maryse kills me.

• 10. ErickaJo  |  November 6, 2007 at 6:07 pm

  Of course she is. I have a friend who calls that “ego-surfing”.

• 11. femiknitmafia  |  November 6, 2007 at 6:09 pm

  Maryse, will you marry me?

• 12. Lisa  |  November 6, 2007 at 6:36 pm

  Maryse - Can you give lessons? You are my hero.

  Xifey - Find your own blog to stalk. This one is already taken.

  Mafia - Feel better soon. WE all miss you and need you healthy and “speaking”.

  My dad found my LJ because I’d printed out a part of something I’d written there just after my mom died, and the URL printed out as well. So he read the entire LJ entry. And then some more entries besides. Which frankly, I did not like.

  So a week or two later I emailed him to let him know that while I recognize my LJ is public and anyone can find it, it is still my safe space. It is where I talk to my friends and there was a reason I had not invited him to participate there previously.

  I pointed out to him that he gets together with his friends every Friday night at a local pizza joint, and I know where it is, and it’s a public place, so I would be well within my rights to go there whenever I wanted. However, he would rightly feel as though is space had been invaded if I were to do that. Occasionally he has invited me to join them, once for his birthday, the other times were equally rare circumstances. But being invited once does not constitute a standing invitation, and thus I allow him his privacy and his space, even if it is technically in a public place, because I respect him and his privacy. I asked that he treat my LJ in the same way, and wait for an invitation before reading any entries again, and he agreed.

  Xifey ought to take a lesson from my dad. (Hi, Xifey. People who eavesdrop should expect to hear things they would rather not have heard.)

• 14. PICAdrienne  |  November 6, 2007 at 7:07 pm

  Thorn, you said that so well. Reading your ex’s blog is just like eavesdropping. Of course, for those of a masochist bent, that could be fun. I have no idea if that is the case, and really don’t want to know.

  Mafia, hope you feel better soon. Lemon tea with honey is good for the throat.

• 15. Teresa C  |  November 6, 2007 at 8:04 pm

  You still can’t talk? Man! That sucks. Glad I ain’t kissin’ you.

  Seriously, read this: http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474976901238.

  Have you tried the apple cider vinegar? Did you get the Throat Coat? I’m a singer, I know of what I speak. And not hot. If you try the salt water, let it cool before you gargle it.

  As for the rest: snicker, snicker.

• 16. heather  |  November 6, 2007 at 9:07 pm

  Feel better, Mafia love. I get nasty throat bugs every year and they suck. As for Ms. Xifey dear, if you don’t want people talking about you, stop doing those things people will talk about. Oh, and while your at it, grow up and think about your kid instead of acting like one.

• 17. Kat  |  November 6, 2007 at 9:24 pm

  Hope your feeling better soon. I’m a big fan of green tea with honey for throat ailments.

  As for Xifey - meh. I will take the high road. I’m in much a better position to throw things at her from up here.

• 18. pamela wynne  |  November 6, 2007 at 9:43 pm

  aw, take care! xo

• 19. earthchick  |  November 6, 2007 at 10:15 pm

  Feel better soon!!

• 20. nina  |  November 7, 2007 at 8:31 am

  feel better! and if you’re home sick today (wed) call me and we’ll be sick together. our germs can play! please…let’s knit together and my new trollish hobby…cross stitching! (but only dirty words).

• 21. Meghann  |  November 7, 2007 at 8:43 am

  Mafia….feel better! I used to get the laryngitis every year, couple times a year and it’s no fun. Although, all my friends thought it was hysterical, because my voice would get very deep and turn into what they referred to as “Sex phone operator voice”.

  Xifey–go away.

• 22. Kate  |  November 7, 2007 at 9:26 am

  Pobre Mafia! As a long time sufferer of laryngitis (usually stressed-induced: yes, evil Xifey- now, you are physically making her sick!), can I suggest the hot chicken broth route? Soothing and has anti-viral properties (will help boost that immune system!).

  Xifey: heaven has a special place for people like you: hell.

• 23. katrina  |  November 7, 2007 at 10:04 am

  Perhaps Xifey will become aware that we hold her in the same disregard that she holds you.
  Reminds me of an old George Strait song, can’t recall the title but some of the lyrics are “I’ve come to expect it from you” and “I wouldn’t treat a dog the way you’ve treated me”.
  She should have no expectations of kindness. Hope you feel better soon and congrats on the new car and new abode. A happier life is not long away

• 24. Beth S.  |  November 7, 2007 at 11:17 am

  You do know that laryngitis is in your throat, not your fingers, right?

  And as for Xifey, I hope she has learned not lo leave her personal shit lying around where it can be ruthlessly mocked by teh internets.

• 25. Rhonda the Stitchingnut  |  November 7, 2007 at 12:40 pm

  Get better soon Mafia and don’t hold back on the knitting while you’re recouping

• 26. Mary  |  November 7, 2007 at 3:40 pm

  I’m with Maryse…that makes it STEREO!!! Feel better!

• 27. Ruth  |  November 7, 2007 at 4:20 pm

  Hot salt water, I’m telling you. And Advil. And don’t whisper, it only puts more strain on your cords.

  as for Xifey, surely you have more productive ways to spend your time.

• 28. Ruth  |  November 7, 2007 at 4:21 pm

  er … that last bit was directed at Xifey. I just realized that it reads as though I was saying it to YOU. Sorry about that.

• 29. Tasha  |  November 7, 2007 at 5:40 pm

  Xifey — stop being a tool. Seriously.

• 30. Marcy  |  November 7, 2007 at 7:21 pm

  Ginger tea with ginger brandy and honey. It will make you ALLLL better. One way or another. Get better, dearie.

• 31. Kit  |  November 8, 2007 at 2:46 am

  Feel better soon. Not talking is a pain, but straining will make it last longer. I will be at MIT for that massive invasion of youngsters the weekend before thanksgiving. Want a cup of coffee, my treat?

• 32. Mary R  |  November 8, 2007 at 6:20 am

  get well soon.

• 33. Danielle  |  November 8, 2007 at 11:49 am

  I like Marcy’s idea of ginger tea with ginger brandy and honey. That sounds good even if you DON’T have laryngitis.

• 34. Sharon Rose  |  November 8, 2007 at 12:54 pm

  There will be a sore spot on the fleshy part of your thumb (palm side). Press it to make your throat feel better. Also the bottom corner just below the thumbnail on the side away from the fingers. Lung 10 and Lung 11 in case you are interested in acupuncture points.

  Also TB 5, on the back of your forearm, about 2 inches from the wrist. That’s an immune booster point. Just feel around - you’ll find it.

  Feel better!

• 35. britt  |  November 8, 2007 at 9:02 pm

  Get better ms Mafia! I think you should just start your own sign language. Feel free to post diagrams later
  Xifey - erg.

• 36. Carrie  |  November 9, 2007 at 7:47 pm

  I hope that you feel better soon and I agree with Maryse!

• 37. ellen  |  November 11, 2007 at 8:14 pm

  I’ve always found that hot tea with liberal lashings of hot water and honey hit the spot. You may not actaully feel any better but you will sleep blissfully.

  As for the other issue, and applying to both of you: things suck now. The temptation is to foment drama and act badly (and one of you seems to actually be giving in to this temptation, you know who you are) but you share a child and will be seeing each other for many years. In order not to make the little guy feel put in the middle you are BOTH going to have to act like grown ups. And of course, eavesdroppers are guaranteed to hear something not to their liking.

• 38. Julie  |  November 12, 2007 at 3:32 pm

  Xifey~You lost your right to be offended by anything you read here when you hurt Mafia. All of us who comment here are her FRIENDS, of course we’re going to stick up for her.

  Mafia, hope you’re feeling better. EmergenC. And plenty of it.

• 39. Dorothy  |  November 15, 2007 at 1:19 pm

  Mafia I hope you are feeling better. Laryngitis really sucks.

  Tasha, stop insulting tools. They are handy to have around.

• 40. britt  |  November 15, 2007 at 1:38 pm

  Your birthday is in two days so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!

• 41. Mary  |  November 15, 2007 at 10:34 pm

  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! Celebrate!!!

• 42. Manise  |  November 16, 2007 at 1:13 am

  Hope you’re feeling better! Because today is your birthday! Happy Birthday to ewe! Raising my glass to you and hoping you celebrate in style!!

• 43. Karen  |  November 16, 2007 at 8:02 am

  Happy Birthday!!
  I hope you’re feeling better.

• 44. Sharon Rose  |  November 16, 2007 at 10:15 am

  Happy Birthday! I hope the microbes are loosening their grip…
