You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
My 100+ year old church just burned down early this morning. As far as I can tell, there's nothing left except some stuff from the AA group that met in our undercroft that blew out the window. A house next door was also also completely destroyed, but there were thankfully no injuries. The artistic community were heavy users of our church building and one local theater group stored all of their equipment, stage, costumes, etc., lovingingly created over many years, there. Strength, courage and unity ~ma for the church, artists and the whole community would be greatly appreciated.

Just got home safe and sound from the trip to Michigan and found an e-mail waiting. My aunt passed away this afternoon. Could I get some peace- and serenity~ma for my aunt's family? Thanks, all.

Just now as I was sitting here, I realized that today marks my second Buffistaversary.
To say that being a member of this board has changed my life is a vast understatement. Thank you for being my people.

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.
Good news, in a cruddy-sounding way: My mother has finally left that thing she was married to. Whole family are pitching in to help her out. ~ma appreciated in finding her a new apartment, and the legalities and finances of disentangling herself from him.

If anyone has some health~ma to spare, I'd appreciate you sending it my dad's way. He's been in the hospital since last night complaining of chest and midriff pain, nausea, and sporadic fever. They've thankfully ruled out heart problems, but we're waiting to hear back about some tests to see if the trouble might be with his liver or gall bladder.

Seems minor, but I just came home from work and found our cat, Patches, dead. She was very old, and had been failing for a while, but still.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
I'm building a new PC and am at the stage where I'll be cannibalizing drives and cards off the old one, so, shutting down. Hope I return.

Hey. New board.
So a couple of days ago I sent in a resumé and cover letter, on a whim, to a new performing arts school opening next year. The more I thought about it, the more I realized it would be the perfect position for me
I just got an email from the principal, and I have to do a phone interview tomorrow, and I HATE phone interviews, and I would love some phone-interview-ma. Please. Thanks. Bye.
