I'm so sorry, Raq.
It is really raining hard here. On the plus side, I am at home and will not be going back to work until Monday, plus we have all our Thanksgiving shopping done. On the minus side, I feel like I'm coming down with a cold.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Raq, I'm so very sorry for your friends. That is heartbreaking.
eta: Also, if it helps any, this florist has a lot of beautiful flower and plant arrangements, almost entirely free of gratuitous patriotism or blaring religiosity.

I'm sorry, Raq. The Friendship section of FTD.com has some nice things, including a yellow rose bouquet.

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, Raq, that's just horrible. Peace to you and your friends.

I'm so sorry for your friends Raq. So difficult.
Gud made me laugh. I hadn't heard/read that before. Giggle.

Thanks guys. I just can't think of anything worse. They were so happy, and we were so happy for them, because they'd be great parents, and the kid would've wanted for nothing. And there's so little to say. I mean, I'm glad the mother is physically okay, but I can't say that to them, as I suspect right now they'd each gladly trade their lives to have their little boy back.
The world really really sucks from time to time.
And thanks for the link, JZ. I will go look.
