I too had a small epiphany today, based on helping my mom get dressed. If she were a cat and in this condition, I'd be worried about having to take her to the vet for euthanasia.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Oh Theo my thoughts are with you. It has to be so hard seeing a parent become so weak.

Oh dear Theo, I had that same sense with my father. Bless you both.

Theo, I am so sorry. My thoughts are with you.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That is such a hard thing, Theo. I'm sorry you are going through it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm thinking about you too, Theo, and wishing you the best.
We had an awesome end to the work day -- a couple of minutes after 5, there was an announcement that there was an alarm on a different floor, the fire department was coming, and they would keep us updated. So we all left! Note: Only awesome if the alarm was for nothing.

It's tomorrow @9. Requires my presence. Or do you mean the termite guy? We've been playing phone tag. I've either been in my office and too swamped to even make a phone call, making a call and missing him, or he calls when I'm in one of my bazillions meetings. What I need to do is ask for him to leave his personal cell. I've been going through the office switchboard. (And I never think to ask for a cell #. )We have the written report, but I'd love to talk to him.
I'm about to blow through a shitload of money, and I'm not even talking the down payment. I've got a spreadsheet. At least I have the money to blow.

Actually, I have 2 speadsheets. One is a working list (things to buy incl estimated cost, do, contact) and the other is an actual spent.
