{{{Cass}}} Easy passing ~ma to your grandmother. It's so good of you to be there for her.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Cass, I really feel for you. That's a really tough situation. Much peace for you and your grandma. Also for vw's step-grandma.
I am remarkably at peace tonight. I got all of my sobbing (at least for the moment) out of the way before I said goodbye to him. I have used smudge stick and prayer for cleansing and renewal, as well as clarity and peace. I also bought a mini deck of tarot cards and got several interesting readings. Although I'm no expert and I only bought the cards tonight, 3 separate readings kind of led to the same conclusions. I think. I also spent hours in the bookstore looking over new resources for personal (and career) development. Now if only I could have been as productive with my living space as Kristin!
Apparently the word of the day is peace.

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
Call me if you need me, Cass. I'll leave the ringer on.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Easy passing to her, Cass.
How tall is he, Hec?
I think he's about 4' 4" now, though he's sprouted up so much in the last year that it's hard to keep track.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Hugses for Cass, d, and everyone else who wants 'em.
Sammie just wrestled a magenta mouse and then stared at it. Then cried out to me, picked it up with her mouth, and brought it closer to me and dropped it, then looked at me again.
Too cute. I had to reach out and skritch her head and around the neck.
Damn cats know what buttons to push, don't they?
Wasn't very successful button-pushing on Sammie's part: What she wanted most was for you to pick the mouse up and throw it for her. It's like fetch only with less slobber.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I also send good wishes to all of those (and their families) who are in need of them.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Andi, that's what I told Daniel in LJ. That's one of TC's favorite games, he'll dribble a ball or wrestle a mouse up to your feet and wait for you to toss it so he can chase it. Non-slobbery fetch is a good description. Of course, he often gets distracted and wanders off in the middle of a fetch...
Cass, I'm thinking of you, her, and your family. vw, you too. Candle is lit.
Hec, I look at your bookshelves and smile. If one of those Clean Sweep types were to threaten my books, I'd commit a capital crime. They're free to have at my closets though. And DH's office, they'd have free rein in there, too.
I haven't mentioned it here, but I think a lot of you know that our younger son moved back in with DH and me in the spring. He's integrated well, he's working on establishing a home-based business and trying to get his life back together. I'd forgotten, though, how very nice it was when it was just DH and me, until he went down last week to help his brother pack up some stuff.
Yep, our elder son will be moving back in with us too, probably this week, and hopefully short-term, because he'll be sleeping on the living room couch, with all his belongings in storage.
This parent stuff is hard.

I covet JZ's hat. Just in case you were wondering.

I'm sure she'll cherish the validation. It was that very hat that got her the offer to model corsets for Dark Garden at the Dickens Fair.

What is even happening?
Cass, I'm so sorry. I feel like I keep saying the same thing over and over.
vw, I'm sorry you've had bad news. You'll let us know what's going on with your grandma when you find out?
You might think - but partly that's the shoe size (5 already). Actually he's pretty much the same size as other 9 y.o.s in his class.
Ben's wearing a 7. I think I could wear his shoes, but he keeps them about as nice as you'd expect a 9 year old boy to keep them. He'll be 10 at the end of this month, so I think he has several months on Emmett, which is still a big deal size-wise at this age.
I think he's about 4' 4" now, though he's sprouted up so much in the last year that it's hard to keep track.He's close enough to 5' and 100lbs that I've forgotten the real measurements, as well (I suspect he's an inch shorter and 5lbs less, but I'd have to check). I know when I hug him, I feel like I'm hugging an adult (or possibly a tree) rather than a child. He's not even the tallest boy in his class. There are at least two who are taller than he is.

{{{Beverly}}} Maybe you could start over-doting on them, and they'll decide to move out--together.
