Allyson, I don't think we do right now, but Raq has worked at a number of 'em and could probably answer any questions that aren't about a specific embassy.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Do we have a Buffista at an American embassy overseas?
Raq's DH is a part of the diplomatic corp, but is currently stationed stateside.

Was it Raq, and not Raq spous?. Anyway I seem to remember she was very up on things at the embassy regardless.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Oh, excellent! I shall email! Thanks.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Do we have a Buffista at an American embassy overseas? I have questions!
My FiL retired from State last year - I'd be happy to forward him any questions.

Oh, and according to the weather site, it's 93 degrees with 20% humidity here. It's April still, right?
It must be and in New England because tomorrow's high is supposed to be 60. Our freaking weather up here is bipolar.
At least it's a dry heat, but the rain can't come fast enough tonight.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have skipped and skimmed after being away from the net for the last four days. Just back from Chicago ( got up at 3am to make my morning flight, should be crashing HARD this afternoon). The services and various and sundry gatherings for my uncle were great. Since he was a judge and a former Alderman and stuff, there were over 500 people at the visitation. It was quite formal, but then there was a family-only gathering at a cool pizza place (I think it was called the Union) which was a time to relax. The next morning a big church service and many of his kids and step-kids spoke and there was lots of crying and it was lovely. The best part was at the end, when a lone bagpiper stood up up to play, and it wasn't until the first few notes that everyone realized it was the Michigan Fight song.
The one thing my uncle loved more than family as much as sailing, and during the morning before the service a big wind came up and my cousin Carlos said, "That's Jim, sailing away from us."

Oh, and my niece has discovered Buffy and it is her favorite show. We had the BEST time geeking out over it.
