Huh. Funny how parenthood has changed my reaction to Heath Ledger's death. Before I would have said it was tragic that he died, now I can't stop myself from thinking mostly about how brutal and tragic it must be to his ex and their child. Also? Better not be suicide or I'll be pissed.

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
I don't know why you guys keep saying I routinely get kicked in the head. I might not be a black belt, but I don't suck.
OK, by "routinely" I mean "in the course of her routine this really could happen" not "all the time".
Like, I don't think anyone else here is ever at any risk of being kicked in the head whatsoever.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
TMZ reported that he had pneumonia, so who knows if that was a factor. Would explain pill bottles being around.

NYT was very circumspect, I'm guessing cause is unclear at this point.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe not on purpose, but I think Cass could whip something up if we asked nicely.

Very sad for his daughter, gah.
I am so with you on the wet socks. But I feel like if I end up with wet underwear, it is more likely some issue where I can't just take it off and put on new--often the pants AND underwear got wet for whatever reason (sitting in something? spill?). Socks I feel like it's more often feasible to take them off, if they got wet.
But the worst, by far, is having to put on a clammy cold damp bathing suit.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The Frontline special was fascinating. I felt angry on behalf of the kids for some portions, though.

I wasn't counting kicking one's self in the head... but you have a point.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Maybe not on purpose, but I think Cass could whip something up if we asked nicely.Hey! That's ... a little too accurate, actually.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You know what I love? High tech clothing that wicks moisture away from my body.
And not getting kicked in the head. Or the groin.
