Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

I'm going dark until the end of my test season - 22/3, approximately. I'll still be available via email.

Thrive to spite them

I need some ma for my Grandma E. After lunch she told my aunt "I don't feel good" and then laid her head down on the table and passed out. she's at the hospital in the ER they ruled out heart attack based on her EKG.

This is the same side of the family as my cousin who died last June. His mother is the aunt who was with Grandma E and they live together. My family really can't take another loss right now.

My dad's being moved onto life-support. The next 24 hours will determine everything. Any available ~ma or good wishes would be appreciated.

My dad died this morning. Thank you all for your support during the time leading up to this. I'm afraid I have limited time at my computer for the next several days, so I won't be up to answering posts or emails for a while.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Healing- and dealing-ma, please, for a little boy who I taught last year. (This year I'm teaching his year group, but not his class.) He is eight, and one of the most AWESOME kids, very kind and sunny and sensible and hardworking and just altogether great - one of those kids who gets on with everyone, and is always helpful and mature and fun and just fab. His little sister is six, and sounds to be cut from the same cloth.

At the weekend, out of the blue, their dad died. Today they are at school.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I have an author who will be visiting San Diego and LA next week and who may need to be able to pick up books in one of those cities (but hasn't told me which yet). Is there any Buffista in either of those cities willing to take delivery of the books and either let him pick them up at your home or meet you somewhere to hand them off? I'm pretty sure he'd give you an autographed copy, and I promise he's not an axe murderer (he just plays one on TV). Profile addy is good if you can help.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Hello. I'm having a belated birthday party on Sunday, March 1. If you're a Boston-Area Buffista, want to come and have not already been invited, it wasn't intentional. Honest! Send me an email and I'll forward the deets.

t edit Also let me know if you're on Facebook.
