It's scary, Cass. I hope the "burn each other out" option (or some other getting under control magic) comes to pass, and soon.
Nice acronym, Mom!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My weird brain:
I was emailing someone I don't know to tell her how very right she was, and then while I was making sure I had her name right I saw a picture of her, and she's so pretty that I felt intimidated. And now I want her and her husband to adopt me, because they're both ridiculously cute and talented and funny.
But I had to take a minute to convince myself that even though she was pretty, I could tell her she was smart, too. Does this make sense to anyone? Is this some guy thing I've picked up? Because I didn't understand it even when I was feeling it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

You could practice by saying this to me, repeatedly.

I will, but I know you won't believe me. Because you're a poo-head.
She actually looks like you, though. 40s-ish glamor.

Lee, before the 10th season premiere of SG1 - there's an hour-long special about the science of the Gates which probably is a good intro to SG1 and it's typical foes.
Plus - there is some actual science.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Mom's house will be fine. She is far enough from the blaze and there is just too much inbetween.
The gallery where her art (and a lot of other people's) is, a lot of other people's homes and miles and miles of desert are less certain. It's just ... I need to stop reading news reports because none of them have maps and I am overwhelmed thinking about it.

Cass, walk away from the news.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thanks Sumi!
Cass, what sj said. I know it's hard, and frustrating, but stepping away from the news is a good idea.
