{{{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.

I just drove around with my sister and saw STARS. Stars! They shine! There are many of them!

Amazing.

Ginger, I hope you're home and safe by now.

IsraGaza updates (for Natter is too far away, for now): More bombings, more attack, more despair. Be'er Sheva been told to get its shelters ready. It's kindda beyond me at the moment.

So hoping my sis can get out of this hell for 48 hours. She really needs it.

And thank you guys, again. You've been wonderful through the whole way. I have people avoiding my online presence at the moment, and I'm not sure if that's because they don't know what to say or because they think my country is the only evil on this.

I hope your sister can get that break too. My fingers are crossed for her.

I'm going to give your avoiders the benefit of the doubt that it's because they don't know what to say, not that they would take their opinions (whatever they may be) out on you. Even the dullest of internet posters should know that a person is not a country. At least, even the dullest of internet posters that somebody like you would deign to talk to. I'm just assuming these people aren't posters on the IMDB message boards.

I hope so too, Gris.

I have no words to describe how much I didn't wanted to turn on the radio today.

Oh, Ginger, good to read you made it home safe.

This sounds like a buffista mom

{{{{Shir}}}}

I hope your sister can get a break, soon, too.

It's quiet in here tonight. I guess everyone went to bed early to start the week off right.

Ginger, glad you made it home ok.

Shir, how ya doing over there?

Ok, bedtime for me. I wonder what sordid tales my Bitches will have me in tonight. Last nights was pretty amazing. Hotter than my actual dream.

I'm here. Flavor tripping again. This time with a margarita... verrrry sweet. And a side of lime... yum!

mmm and goat cheese. I can't decide which is my favorite, the lime or the goat cheese.
