If I could get a little funding~ma for the small non-profit I volunteer for that would be great. I've been working on a survey and a report to defend us to our primary funders and if it works out, I think we can still do a lot of good in the community. I'm meeting with them later this morning after submitting my report yesterday.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Now tagless for your comfort.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Hey everybody. We haven't got internet at our new place yet but I have a library card! I'll be dark grey for the near future.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
My fiance Mark's brother was killed early yesterday morning in a train accident in Washington, DC. As you can imagine, Mark and his family are just devastated. Joey was a sweet, funny, smart guy, a lot like Mark, really. He would have turned 29 next month. It is going to take the family a long time to recover from this.
Thank you for any kind thoughts, peaceful prayers, and good energy you can send our way.

Ann, that's a ferret.
It's my turn to say, "Fuck Cancer!"
Max has nasal cancer. All the vet has so far is a very short report. More details expected later today. But treatment is going to be difficult because the cancer is so close to his eye and his tongue.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
A book proposal of mine is being very seriously considered. Please next-step ma and ultimate publication ma as well.

I am RETIRING at the end of this week. Hard to believe I've been working at this place for thirty years!
I'm throwing a party in my home city on July 18th. Bocce ball starts at 10 AM, then we are moving to a nearby park for BBQ around 12:30 PM. It is dog- and very kid-friendly (little kids and bigger kids areas plus basketball, tennis, and hiking). Email profile addy if you'd like details.
Woo hoo!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Can I get some cat-ma? Teenaged-mother cat, Maggie, has a mass in her abdomen, and the vet took an ultrasound yesterday. It's one of, say, 5 things. 2 are treatable with antibiotics. 1 is treatable with surgery. 2 of them, there's nothing to be done. I'm off to the vet to get the prescription. If all goes well, she'll be feeling much better by Monday.
Oh, and if you could convince her to come out from wherever she's hiding, that would be great.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I've been lurking here and there (and will continue to try to get back up to speed on Buffistadom) but I thought I'd announce that after nearly 20 years in the SF Bay Area, circumstances are forcing me back to the land o' my birth - Los Angeles. I would be all too happy to meet up with some LA Buffistae for hijinks and such starting in August.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
I'll be in Montreal for my brother's wedding this weekend, Friday through Monday - anyone want to meet up? (Shambles, are you still lurking about?) You can email me at my profile address.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
I received Lee's addition to the nail polish round robin today and will add it to the main box when that arrives. I continue to be dark grey for the next few weeks as I go back and forth (fun vacation time?) between home and the folks'.
