Oh, that's so sad-making indeed.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

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

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Also, sort of a surprise. If there were any question, wouldn't they have hauled out the genetic testing to be sure? I wonder what (or who) made them so positive as to the live girl's identity that they didn't question it at all.
It's weird, hearing news reports like these, where all you get is the capsule, and the implications can roll around in your head for days. A couple days ago, my local public radio mentioned a car accident (I guess this was in the wee hours after Memorial Day) where a minivan rolled on the Lowell Connector, and the two adults in front were thrown from the car and killed, and the news guy says, unaffectedly, "bystanders were able to pull the two children from the back seat before the car burst into flames."
WTF! Trauma!

So I just got in a discussion with a coworker about an article she sent me, and the course of my argument made me sound like I'm defending child molesters. Ugh. Can I move to, you know, another planet?

I would not recommend throwing up in one's own mouth as the right way to wake up in the morning. Sigh. I'm not sure if this is a resurgence of the ick, or an entirely new ailment making itself known. Ah well, wasn't like I was a font of productivity at work this week anyway.
