Natter 41: Why Do I Click on ita's Links?!
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Nilly and I are sharing a mind, which is kinda neat...
So you want to prepare the lesson for tomorrow for me? I've been *just* informed now about it, too.
Still in a few shots
Now I want to see it, and not even just for the "oh, I know her!" stuff, too.

No chance of a snow day? Hmm, try another cookie, that always helps my productivity.

There may be some rain, but that won't stop the lesson from taking place.
It's not the usual TA stuff. It's something new, for kids. It's my first time doing it, too. So I think it's good that it's in such short a notice - this way I won't have that much time to be nervous about it (the first time was supposed to be in 10 days, so I thought I had more time, but now they added a new group, for, yup, tomorrow).
But, yeah, another cookie is definitely a good idea.
How are you doing?
Nilly, these things eventually come out on DVD, so maybe one day!

Oh, I'll keep my eyes open, then.
Also, I like your tagline:
don't do more than one stupid thing at a time
How are you doing?
I'm managing. Lately I've been napping like crazy on the weekends (primarily due to stress and general exhaustion), so my sleep schedule is wonked. Mostly first world issues. Nothing like I'm sure you and your fellow citizens are going through with your ill PM and random things and people blowing up.
I can't imagine being afraid of getting on a bus or going to the store to get a quart of milk. Hmm... are you afraid or do you just "get used to it" after a while and accept your fate... or rather, trust in God, I suppose.
Having another cookie is always a valid life choice.
re: tagline. It's from an article about a school for people to learn to breathe fire. Well, to spit flammable liquid from their mouths while lighting it on fire.

Well, some people stopped getting on buses altogether (I didn't), some people stopped going to places which are considered "higher risks", like Jerusalem (I didn't), some people are just more careful wherever they go, keep their eyes open (finally, something that I also do).
I don't think it's possible to really get used to this. I think that at some point, it's a conscious choice, to just continue living. And it's a choice I have to make every time I board a bus or go to visit friends in Jerusalem or look around to make sure no bag-without-owners is left anywhere around. I think that you can get to the routine duties that this situation puts you through, but not to the rationale behind them. That's how it's for me, at least.
Cass! How are you doing?

Who knew that breathing fire could be so insightful?]

I think at some point, you have to just make that choice. Be observent, be careful, but live your life also.
How are you doing?
I am contemplative. My grandma passed away this morning. She was always so alive and vibrant, until just a month ago.
I spent a lot of that time with her (at my parent's house) and was there this morning. So I am saddened, but quietly, if that makes any sense.
The hardest part, for me, is past now. I miss her but I believe she is at peace now. And hopefully with my grandpa again because she missed him so much when he died ten years ago.
