I did miss that word. And yet, peacetime or not - not that different than other peacetimes at those times in Europe. Mostly where the whole border thing wasn't quite clear.
You can almost say that the Anschluss was similar to these events, only there it ended in unification.
And Daniel - nobody likes the idea that their troops are doing it. Yet, it's more likable than the idea that if not, your troops will be killed, and not just "locals". Compare the numbers of any dead army soldiers compared to the local population deads since the beginning of the idea of nationality, and even before that (but it's not going that far back - it wasn't like this in Ancient Greece and Rome).
Jess, I was about to post the Chris Rock thing, and you just got up earlier than I did.

I would like to request prayers, thoughts, lit candles, anything you can spare for my friend M in Cali. She was 37 weeks pregnant and her baby boy died in utero. He was breech, so she's having a c-section to deliver him. She's a pain in the ass and sometimes not a great person, but she's a great friend and well, this is something that shouldn't ever happen. So, if you could spare some of the patented Buffista ~~ ma for her so that she treats herself kindly over the next however long, I'd really appreciate it.
Oh god, Aims. I can't even imagine what she must be going through.
Lots of ~ma to your friend, Aims. What a sad, horrible thing.
Much ~ma to your friend, Aims. Much.
So sorry for your friend, Aims.
C-section ~ma for your friend, Aims.
I can't either. He was breech for a long time and she would spend hours in her pool doing handstands (under Doctor's orders) to try to get him to turn. If it turns out that it was ANYTHING to do with the cord, she's going to blame herself and I'm worried about how she's going to handle that. Her husband isn't one for open feelings and M is. I hope that he can find it within himself to really really really be there for her and not let his anger show because even though he's just angry at what's happened, right now M will take it as anger at her and she could end up a very very very sick woman and oh please God I don't want that.
Aims how awful! Much -ma for your friend.
