Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

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

Thank you all for the ~ma, it might be helping t /cautiously optimistic

I mean to say, the ~ma is definitely helping my emotional state, let there be no doubt. But her situation might be on the better end of the possible outcomes as well. Please keep it coming.

Please ramp up the ~ma again. My mom was released to rehab on Friday (hence my cautious optimism), but I got a look at her foot Friday, then Saturday, then last night, and it's looking quite a bit worse. I finally got the Dr on the phone (he's only at the rehab 2-3 days a week, so she still hasn't seen him since she's been there) and told him my concerns and he promised to check her out first when he gets there today. I think she may need to be re-admitted to the hospital to get back what she's lost since Friday (which I suppose would be better news than the doctors just deciding she's not getting better and starting to treat with knives rather than drugs).

Woe to the fucking wicked.

If I could have some "go smoothly"-ma, I'd appreciate it. I'm interviewing for basically the job I'm doing now, and I'm 97% sure I'll get it, but bureaucracy, yay!

Always Anti-fascist!

My brother A. was in car accident today. Think he's fine, car might not be, but my brother worries and he's not always a great coper. Can we get some calm vibes, and some efficient-insurance ones? Thanks.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I'm super nervous I'm going to break my streak of hitting my social media bonus on this article. I hate stressing about it and, more than that, I hate bugging everyone, but in for a penny, in for a pound, at this point, I guess.

Still just 57 Facebook shares away from hitting 400 on my Craftbeer.com article, 3 Overlooked Beer Styles to Pair with Food. And I need to do it by Wednesday. So if anyone hasn't done so already (or wants to do it again) and thinks the article is worth sharing, please consider doing so using the Facebook button right above the headline of the piece.

Our wings are not tired.

This isn't personal except that it's about someone I ME MYSELF adore and assume many of you do, too!

But our Sox won a major literary award this weekend - the (Nebula Award) Andre Norton Award for Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy for Updraft!

I am so proud of her and happy for her!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Hey Y'all - have you moved recently? Do you like surprise gifties?

If so, please send your information to Msbelle or me and we can update the Buffistas database.

And yes, I have received a few requests recently for folks who aren't on the list. I know you don't know who you are but you might be missing out if you aren't included.

Please send us (any or all of the following) - your username, full name, e-mail address, street address, birthday (year not needed), phone number, emergency contact name/phone, and any other notes. We will assume that by providing this information, it is ok to share with other buffistas unless otherwise noted.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Please, please, please, all the patented Buffista ~ma, thoughts, prayers, and vibes you can spare towards southeast Michigan. My mother is in the ER with atrial fibrillation.

I'm not ready for this.

We're pitching out product to Marvel Comics CEO today. (Not me personally - I'm here in SF.)

Send us some vibes, por favor.
