(((((Kristin))))) I'm so sorry. From what I hear she was an amazing young woman. So much -ma to you, your school and her family.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

Hey. New board.
Yeah, that WAS the second date
Ah. Yeah, then, no going again. Good luck with the friend-convert, though. You could probably still pull it off if she's actually cool and you're straightforward about it, unless she REALLY likes you romantically.

Hey. New board.
And because it deserves its own post, {Kristin}. I'm so sorry.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, Kristin. Peace and strength to all her loved ones.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Kristin, I'm so sorry.
Meara, go on the second date, but what you said before is what you should say right away - like between drink or appetizer order and dinner order. It seems maybe salvageable, but only if you put your cards on the table in that kind of interval.
Or maybe I'm craxy, I'm not exactly an authority here.

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.
{{{{{Askye}}}}}} I'm glad that you have a plan for Friday that sounds so sane and perfect for getting you through the day, but I'm sure sorry that you are having to say goodbye to Anna.
{{{{Kristin}}}}} Olivia's loss truly makes this world a less bright and hopeful place, as so many loved and cared for her, and as she had such potential to shine.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My sympathies to Olivia's family and friends. How sad.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
Minutes after getting the email from the head of school, I got an email from Olivia's little sister Cora asking about the work she has missed over the past few days. I was holding it together pretty well until then.
Anyway, please don't feel you need to give me more hugs about this, as much as I appreciate them. I just wanted to let you all know because you've been so supportive this past week.

{{{askye}}}} Strength and peace to you and your beloved kitty. I know how painful those decisions are. Hugs, hon.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I do know that it's just hard to accept that after nearly 20 years she won't be my kitty.
That is so hard. I'm glad you have plans to be with your family, askye.
