This is also x-posty from fb, but really needs to be said here.
It can't be said enough how lucky we are to have this community around to share in our sorrows and joys, to support us through bad times and cheer us on in our triumphs.
My dog drama of the past few months is only the most recent example for me, and I can't express how helpful everyone's been, especially in those early days when I was really freaking out and flashing back to earlier traumas. So a massive, heartfelt thank you to all. I owe you all pie, at the very least, but since I haven't figured out how to manage that through the interwebs yet, here's a little video update from yesterday on the state of the Lu: [link]
So, people wanted pictures from yesterday. I don't remember which people, so I thought I'd start by sharing here. The problem? When I'm hosting, I'm terrible at remembering to take pictures. Mom took a bunch, and so did CBD's dad, so I expect I'll have more later. But, for now, my two boys after the big day: [link]
Brenda, that video of Lucy made me grin a lot. It was a joy to see.
vw, love the pic of the man, the dog and the laptop.
Yeah, last year I was still very awake at midnight, so I thought "why not go to the outlet mall at midnight? Really, who will be there?" Oh how wrong I was. And what I didn't realize was that it was one of those outdoor outlet malls. RIDICULOUS.
Never again.
Egad, Tom. And I'm not sure whether I'm referring more to the events described in the article or to some of the commenters.
That is horrible. Stupid, fucking consumerism.
I'm with Fred-- as appalling as the story is, some of the comments are just absolutely mind boggling. I mean, what's going on, on LI lately? First I saw the story about those teenagers who beat the man to death, now the comments on this story-- it's disgusting.
(I'm doing a stealth post.)
It's so good to see Lucy walking and doing doggy things.
Toto seems resigned to his role as a laptop desk.
Save yourselves. Stay away from the malls. Tom's story gives a whole new meaning to black Friday.
I had pie for breakfast,
My family got mad when I mocked Barry Manilow. Who are these people, anyway?
Have a great post-ritual-sacrifice day.
