Favor to ask. My friends' bar is two years old today. They are giving away a trip to Vegas for the picture from the anniversary that gets the most FB likes. It's a public pic on my sister's page. Can those of y'all who Facebook help a sister out?

Happy news!

Nilly gave birth to her baby girl this morning (it's afternoon now in Israel). All are well, and very happy. That's all I have for now.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Request for Emergency ~ma. My BFF's husband just got rushed into surgery for a brain bleed. It was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago, and the Drs were convinced it would just reabsorb on its own, but he's been having worse and worse pain, so I guess they've decided to take action. Please send safe surgery~ma for B, and calm and strength to K while she waits.

SFistas (Lee in particular), I was wrong about the date of my friend's popup restaurant. It's MARCH 27, not February. So, you have time to get a group together.

Our wings are not tired.

I am behind on B.org for various reasons...but if any of you want to reply to Jonathan Kaufer on my Facebook page (his long comment on my link to the "I am not a wife, sister, or daughter" post, go right ahead! (In case you wanted to reply but weren't sure how I felt about your doing so.)

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.

I need ~ma for an individual I work with. I'll be attending a meeting with him, and I have reason to believe that I will need to advocate for him, as strongly as I can.
