Stephanie, you complete rock star! I'm so happy for you!
Oooh, Fay! That sounds lovely.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hurrah, Stephanie!! What wonderful news. Now go burn all your study notes!
Fabulous news, Fay!!
Dayum, this was all good stuff to come back to after a horrific two hour committee meeting.

Mostly lurking...
Yay, Fay!
Emily has good news too, but I should let her share it.
Thoughts and prayers to your friend's mom, beej.

Compassionately intolerant
Thanks Hon. It's reallly, really worry making. Both the mom and her fella are in their 80s and have lived very full lives. (complete with diabetes, heart disease, etc.) I'd just hate for them to end in some scary, desolate accident.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Huzzah, Fay!
Hurry up and post, Emily. We need more good news.
~ma to your friend and her mother, beej.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Beej, big big vibes to your friend, her mom and mom's companion. I get flinchy every time I read a man-on-the-street article about Katrina -- so many of the people who are worst off, most helpless, most trapped, are the elderly. They're so horribly vulnerable. It just cracks me into pieces.
(And also really, really makes me want to hunt down askye's heartless asshole co-worker and perform a no-anesthesia splenectomy by way of his left nostril.)
(Not that I'm in an emotionally heightened state or anything.)

Trust my rage
Fay, that's great news. I'm thrilled for you.
Beej, sending safety~ma towards your friend and her mom.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
this is definitely a Moment Of Yay!This is quite the Moment of YAY!!!!! Such lovely news Fay. I am glad to read it.
I want to hear Emily's news now.
beej, I hope they are okay and just waiting out the storm. My thoughts and prayers are with them.
I have done my dishes (two weeks worth), done some of my laundry (two weeks worth) and taken out the trash (again, two weeks worth). My back is definitely not happy, but I think it is getting to the point where I can slowly slowly do things. It felt like I was using it, as opposed to abusing it and tearing more things.
Tomorrow, we work. Talked to my boss and she's back in a better mood. I hope the mood holds until tomorrow when I am back in the office.
