Oh David. Jacqueline's family and EM are very much in my thoughts today, and as long as they need be. As are you.
Jacqueline, Felicitations, Darling, on the Anniversary of Your Natal Day! We are so much the richer for having you among us, for your wit, your vehemence, your gifts of description and inventive invective, and your bright and enviable mind. May your coming year be full of laughter, love, and light.
Ok, shrugging off the complete grump...
Happy Birthday, Darling JZ!!
{{{{}}}} to all that needs. Glittle and chocolate to everyone.
Back to the grumpy corner.
Suzi, the guy's let you know what he's afraid of - if he's not afraid of you with a grump on, you can threaten him with your KITE O'DOOM!
Co-Irker is a chick. She is also afraid of fireworks. Her 13 year old cousin is coming from France to spend 2 months with her and she has NO PLANS for this child. Co-Irker and I share a cube wall, so I get to hear all about this crap. I haven't walked around to say STFU yet.
Now, this is a different Co-Irker than the one who was on the cell phone for HOURS a week or so ago.
I need a cave. With internet. And chocolate. And Fernet. Yep...that would do it.
Here's a map of the burned area in Tahoe.
Right where it says "South Lake Tahoe" next to Hwy 89? That's where the house is. If the fire jumps Hwy 89, then it's going to be bad.
juliana, I'm so frazzled that I can't even remember what offer still stands, but thanks.
(eta - No, wait! I think I remember, but at this point it's safe to say that that was just a catalyst and things have spiraled out beyond the point where your offer would help).
And I'll send the addy to your gmail in a sec.
Hec, insent.
EM comes across as so strong -- she's one of those tiny people with a huge presence that fills up a room. I deeply want to stabbinate her psycho ex for precipitating this latest slide.
Happy birthday JZ
I'm sending out the proper and needed ma~~~
I seriously do not need to be out in public today.
L is now sharing details of her UTI. Please STOP. Just....no.
Happy day to celebrate the wit, the loving heart, the sharp writing, the generous advice and the gamine charm of JZ! You are an amazing woman and I am glad to know you.
Suzi, start giving her advice on the UTI. Loudly.
