Kristin, I am so very sorry. Olivia and her family and their heartbreaking vigil will be in my thoughts today. And everyone at your school--she sounds like such an amazing young woman, who has touched so many lives.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

[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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Also? I did a double-take and had to check the author of that post. IJS.
Oh, not just you. Not just you...

Aw. Would it help if I used Caspie?

And ruin the "DUDE, what is flea doing to her daughter????" moment? It would have helped disambiguate, but it totally would have spoiled my light bulb moment. So, yes, but no.

Raise your hand if you think we need pictures of the knocked up lady.
You have one! I was knocked up then, so it counts.
Sparky, how is pregnancy treating you so far?
So far, so good. ::ignores all repressed memories of 1st trimester puking at work, on planes, etc:: These days stress doesn't come from the pregnancy itself, but from the juggle to visit daycare operations, fill out application forms, and cramping from our permanently crossed fingers that one of these places will have a spot for Babyfras when we need it. We did find a lovely pre-school run by the local Audubon Society located on one of their land preserves that Jeff and I would happily quit work and attend ourselves if we were 3 years old.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I've been reading of the jetliner that landed in the Hudson yesterday. Talk about your TV Movie script.
As the plane began sinking, Sullenberger walked the aisle twice to make sure no one was left behind, Bloomberg said.
"After the crash, he was sitting there in the ferry terminal, wearing his hat, sipping his coffee and acting like nothing happened," one police source told the New York Daily News.
"He looked absolutely immaculate," a rescuer told the newspaper. "He looked like David Niven in an airplane uniform," the rescuer said, referring to the debonair British actor. "He looked unruffled."
"He's very controlled, very professional," his wife, Lorrie Sullenberger, told reporters on Friday. "He's a pilot's pilot. He loves the art of the airplane."
Is it wrong to hope that this accident stays just as it appears? No later revelations of wrongdoing on anyone's part, etc? Classy hero types are in short supply.

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?
{{{Kristin}}} I am so so sorry. Peace to her family, you, and your entire school.

If Keith Olbermann couldn't find high dudgeon last night, I think we're cool, Daniel. He does love his outrage so.

As the saying goes, if that's wrong I don't want to be right.
All my sympathies to Kristen, her students, and especially the girl's family. So sad.
