Gets out the red stampRed can be a very good color on me...
Oddly, I have what appears to be a wee hickey-like bruise in my cleavage. I don't have a clue where it came from. I have done nothing hickey-making. Or damaging. Recently. I am flummoxed.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

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

Oh my jesus, how's this for horrifying -
From this morning's news: Back in April, a van carrying five college students was in a deadly accident near here. Three I think were killed, at least one survived. Now, six weeks later, it turns out that two of the girls were misidentified. This came to light because one of the survivors, whose family has been keeping a vigil by her hospital bed all this time, has just slowly been able to speak intelligibly - and it gradually became apparent to her family that this was not, in fact, their daughter. So their daughter was in fact buried six weeks ago by another family, while the family of the living girl has believed for all that time that their daughter was dead.
I can't even imagine how horrifically that poor girl in the hospital must be if it's only now that the family was able to determine she wasn't who they thought she was. And I can't even imagine what it must be like for that poor family.

Oh, that's so sad-making indeed.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That's...wow.

Brenda, that's so horrible and tragic.
I need to declare: John Hodgman on The Daily Show last night was comic genius! Eustace Dismal! Morlocks and Citizens! The Dismal Paradox! plus Kid Dy-no-Mite.
Hodgman has quickly become my new favourite on TDS.

Yeah, it's hard to even process. What a nightmarish thing.
Must remember to record TDS today.

Because books.

My reaction is pretty much bon's -- wow. What strikes me is that the girls must (have) be(en) nearly unrecognizable due to injury for that to happen.
I just can't imagine discovering that your daughter has been dead for weeks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that story is horrifying.

Yeah, I think that must be the case. They did look a fair bit alike before, which I assume is where the whole fucked up mess started. But for this to go on for so long...wow.
