Oof, that is of the suck, Nora. I hate when hand-wringing is the only thing that can be done over a bad situation (see also ita's ongoing migraine hell).
We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

My office is covered with snowman guts. The dog took apart a dog toy. Who would have thought the snowman to have had so much fluff in it?

Ann, that's a ferret.
As someone who has dealt for nearly 20 years with an older brother with schizophrenia, your response would be entirely appropriate.
I don't have that kind of experience with schizophrenia, but I have to agree with your comment. If you've gone out of your way to help, at the very least you're exempt from criticism for anything that doesn't start, "Any idiot would know better than to...."

I love you guys. Where else could you make a Shakespeare joke knowing it would be appreciated?
A friend called me once because something happened at his work that made him laugh and laugh, but he couldn't find anyone who saw the humor in it. The office was being moved by Burnham Movers and the tall office plants had been put in moving boxes. He kept saying, "Look, it's Birnam Wood" and nobody got it.

Heh, that reminds me of a great speech from ROXANNE:
We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
This morning on the Today Show Anne Curry (who I swear is the only reason I watch the thing) was talking with some sort of expert about the Omaha tragedy. Anne was all "what do we do with kids who grow up in the wild and fall through the cracks" and the expert was "mental illness is complicated, people need to pay attention blah blah". Anne rallied with "do you think the life of complete abandoment and deprivation MADE him mentally ill?"
That woman rocks.

"OK, Owibia, take a hold of my hand" as they walk down the stairs.

::snerkity snerk:: I make dorky jokes like that all the time. If they're pop-culture-related, Chatty!co-worker gets about 90% of them (leading him to taunt me about my anorak).
