Oh Shir.
So ugly, when we've all been hoping and praying for peace.

[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

{{Shir and family}} May more thoughtful and peace-minded people prevail in your current troubles. (Could I get more alliterative?) Stay safe.
That's great news, Raq! May the Buffista~ma keep bringing good things to people. After all, it's the least that 2008 owes us.
This weather is killing me. I've had an unproductive asthmatic cough for weeks now and this morning I woke up with a sinus headache. Winter can end anytime soon, I think.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
This is what happens when I ignore the news for a day. Hell breaks out in Gaza. Shir, all the ~ma in the world heading your way. And some clue-phone~ma for your sister to put on her damn flack jacket! I'm pissed the Google Earth doesn't seem to have any Israeli cities listed, and since I have poor geographical knowledge of the area, it's not making things easy. It looks like your folks are about 90 KM away (?), so safe from that 20 KM range of rockets, I hope. And Jerusalem about 50 KM or so? I hope the road from your parents is safe, and trouble free. And yikes! I hope your name doesn't get called up on the reserves list.
Funny thing was, I was playing a video game pretty much all day yesterday, and one of the settings is in Jerusalem circa 1100 AD, and I was thinking "I wonder how accurate this map/city is? I wonder if Shir would recognize any of it" Maybe it was my brain saying "Dummy, turn on the news!".
Can't forget the others. Pix, I hope your Grandma is ok. Any word yet? Sean, how is S doing? You mentioned she might be released, has she been? Give her a big HOWDY from Texas from me, ok? And Suzi, may escrow fly by with smooth sailing all the way!

We've decided to not even be friends. I'm sad, but I really do think it's for the best.
Life goes on, right?

It's really ok. I figured that was how it was going to end. He said that he reserves the right to be hypocritical. And I can't live with that in a friend. To hold one standard for me but not hold it for himself? Not ok.

{{{vw}}} I'm so sorry.
{{{Shir & family}}} You are in my thoughts. Stay safe.

All is well that ends in pizza.
On a lighter note, and cross posty from Boxed Set:
For those who have seen the Dr Who Christmas special, a bit of David Tennant and guest star in another series, not spoilery for the Dr. Who of course: [link]

VW, I'm sorry you guys weren't able to remain friends, but it sounds like you at least came to the decision as reasonable, adult people. Which is a wonderful thing.
Shir, you and yours have been in my thoughts since I saw the news this morning. You'll remain in them for the duration. May you all be safe. May this stop soon. I'm sorry I don't have enough words, and that words can't just make it stop.
