For any Chicagoans who want to donate items without having to mail them, WGN Radio has a list of local people/groups who are assembling items for delivery south, as well as for refugees who have relocated to this area: [link]
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Oh, thanks, Kathy! Do you know how long they are taking donations?

Welcome back, Dana! Show reality who's the boss, or something.
I can't believe Kenny is already 18 (as was posted in "Beep Me"). Happy birthday, Kenny! With hopes for a great day for amyparker, as well.

Teppy, fwiw, the Ursuline convent is on the far side of the Quarter near the river. There was no flooding down there and the Quarter was one of the safest places to be since the cops set up headquarters there.
Kenneth David McClure, will be celebrating his 18th birthday today.
Awwww! Happy Birthday Kenny! Well done, amyparker.

ChiKat, the dates of collection vary by person/group. Best thing is to look at the list (I'm thinking about sending the money I was going to spend on shipping to the Red Cross instead, and dropping the items off at the Downers Grove address either today or tomorrow).

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, Kenny!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Sr. Jerome told me that the convent had about 6 feet of water, actually. But the convent is 3 stories (or more?), so the nuns just stayed on the top floors.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
We've got boxes set up in our breakroom now to collect items to send down. It's nice to have an opportunity to do something that feels more tangible.

I think Pierce Brosnan is hot. I mostly got the Luka love after he pounded that mugger in the pavement...the fencing was cool, too. Not sure about him as Bond, but I would go.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's some hot PTSD right there. I have the vigilante love.
