Apparently, Saddam is dead.It's over then. And quietly, for what it was.
Does this mean it was done before the start of Eid?
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
And quietly, for what it was.
The less quiet part starts tomorrow.

Am I callous to be glad that the less quiet part happens after he is already dead and gone? Because I don't know if I wanted to see that before the fact. I don't even know if I want to see it now actually.

Never mind -- I think we're thinking of different less quiets. I'm assuming we'll see a doubling and redoubling of the hostilities, which I don't want to see at any time. But I wasn't clear.

I was thinking of celebrating his death. Which I don't think I want to see.
Not more hostility which I am quite clear on not wanting. Whether I see it or not.
Vaguery, it's not just for the internets. Because you will be having the wrong conversation and not know it at first.

I getcha, Cass - we were both all oblique and shit. Plus, I'm way too tired and generally icky-feeling tonight to make sense of news that makes me more tired and icky. I think that's a sign that it's time for sleep, and not for the discussing of world affairs.

we were both all oblique and shit.So much for being fucking demure.
Go and get some sleep. It'll all be a new day on the calendar, if not actually new, tomorrow.

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
Just woke up.
Took nephew on the train, all bundled up and sipping hot cocoa with his face plastered to the window.
Got to to the museum just fine, and he was thrilled to put on a smock and play with all kinds of water displays that had boats and little pieces of foam that spirirled down chutes and shot across currents. There was a small fit after 30 minutes when we tried to take him to the next room, because he thought that was all there was and we were being mean.
But no, the next room was loaded with cars and trains play houses. Excellent fun. Another fit when we tried to go to the next place, but after that he figured out that each place was a ton o' fun and he was glad to take a hand and move along after a half hour or so.
Golf balls on slides, more smock fun in the bubble room where toddlers splashed in soapy water and made lots of bubbles, a jack hammer, blocks, wind displays filled with spinning pinwheels.
Then he easily left for lunch, for he was starved and losing his cute, ate a spinach and feta pizza and apple sauce.
Back to South Station where we watched the train set for a half hour and snacked on a cookie the size of his head, then bought flowers for mama and grammie. Met my dad and mom for the train ride home ("GRAMMIE! I BOUGHT YOU SOME FLOWERS!"...SO CUTE!).
When asked, "What was your favorite part of the whole day?" He replied, "Riding the choo choo train!"
So, we could have just rode the trains all day sipping hot cocoa and he would have had a blast.
Got home, mom ordered pizza, had a slice, and then I passed out. Til now.
