Poor, Ginger! I am muy simpatico, my friend.
Here's to a quick fix.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Now tagless for your comfort.
I know there is a shit storm of doom and gloom that seems to have engulfed everyone. It sucks. I'm firmly against it.
My friend who lives in Switzerland (the one I missed a while back when I tried travelling to see her and the clutch went out on Christopher's truck) lost her grandmother on Christmas eve. Over 20 years ago, Angie lost her only sister in a Christmas car wreck. The following Christmas, her father committed suicide. Her mother died 10 years ago (during the summer) of cancer. The only family she has left in the world is her half brother and a nephew (who lost their 23 year old wife and mom three years ago to a freak blood infection).
I'm going to her gran's funeral to see her and be there for her. I'm always surprised by how well she holds her shit together. She's seen more tragedy in her life than any human should have to deal with. And yet, she's remarkably upbeat and pleasant to be around.
Humans amaze me sometimes.

Oh Ginger! One of my nightmares is having something go wrong with Bartleby is in a car with me. Ugh!
Here's hoping everything went smoothly.
Nora, Please let me know if you need anything while you are in DC. A cuppa, a safe venting place, whatever. I'll be around and my profile addy is good.
Calming down quick ~ma to everyone around Shir and hers.
Peace in our hearts ~ma to all.

I don't wanna go to work tomorrow.
REALLY really don't. I'm taking Friday off and hoping to ditch most of Wednesday, so I really shouldn't be complaining about a 2 or 3 day work week....but dang, don't wanna.

Hey. New board.
I sign out of life for a few days for Christmas, and miss all sorts of bad news about Israel. I'm so sorry, Shir, and everybody else who is anywhere near the troubles.

I am intrigued by this signing out of life concept and wish to subscribe to its newsletter.

Hey. New board.
The secret is grandmothers with no internet access and very busy schedules full of family and friends.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
My idea of signing out after Christmas is quite different. It involves hiding in the house for two days after Christmas and doing nothing but read and watch TV.
I am having such a blissful evening. I wish I could pass on some of the happy to those Buffistas who are sad and in pain tonight.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
{{{Nora}}}
{{{Shir and family}}} I have been thinking about y'all a lot in the past week. I'm glad I got home and read your words.
Ginger, I hope you are at home with your feet up.
The secret is grandmothers with no internet access and very busy schedules full of family and friends.
I have a similar secret: a mom with only dial-up (eek!) and very busy schedule of family.
But, I am home now. Yay! And exhausted. 11 hours in a car will do that to you, but I wanted to log on and check on people, esp. Shir and her sister.
