Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

My middle brother and I just had a brief hard talk; his wife moved out two weeks ago and he's not at all hopeful for them in the long run. How can she not see what a total mensch he is and want to do anything on earth to make it work? Intellectually I know that he likely bears his own share of responsibility for it all, and that she's probably in a lot of pain too, but unintellectually I just want to protect him and make his life perfect. Nobody gets to hurt my little brother, dammit.
Oh I am so sorry to read this. Those we love hurting brings up bear mama in a lot of people. You are a wonderful sister.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

See, Santa needs to bring you a Cylon hairless cat, just to make it all come together.

Heh. I'd have to not get it neutered/spayed, just so I could check out the glowy spine thing.

Well, I'm pretty sure my current cat is not a Cylon. I don't think the Cylon Plan includes running back and forth between rooms for no reason.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

just so I could check out the glowy spine thing.

Not gonna touch that one.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

tommyrot, I echo the others. Except for the Cylon thing.

JZ, I hope it all works out okay for your brother.

The single best advice I ever got from any help desk ever was the help desk guy who told me a few years ago that if I got a fax on my phone line, I could just forward it to my fax

It's the phone line on which we get customer calls. We'd have to have some way for the phone to auto-detect it is a fax call to forward it. Besides, eventually the muthabluffers have to learn the RIGHT FAX NUMBER.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

We'd have to have some way for the phone to auto-detect it is a fax call to forward it.

Can you transfer a wrongway fax call to the fax machine?

I suppose I could transfer it, yeah. It didn't occur to me. But I'd rather hang up on the buggers until they learn the goddamned right number. :-) Besides, it's probably just more fax spam.

Yeah, I'm with you, Spidra. I'd be more likely to let 'em keep at it. Though I'm trying to make a conscious effort to be less self-sabotaging of my own mood that way.

I've gotten one of my chores for the weekend done. Still a long list, involving hellish shopping the weekend before xmas. I can fit in that, cleaning, hair dying and laundry and maybe a movie, right? Help me.

tommy, good luck once again. That sounds...disturbing. Glad you have a diagnosis, even if the dr can't pronounce it.

You know what? Dr. Zhivago is fucking depressing. I've seen this whole version before, and just have it on because...nothing else I want to watch and I felt like tv, and...why? WHY?!
