Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yup, that one works. And, ooooh, nice house! Love the windows and sliding doors and deck.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I need some small nice-ish bottles for the cherry liqueur I made this summer for x-mas gifting and I'm striking out finding them.

Brenda, as a purely selfless measure, you can send me a large bottle so you don't have to go through that trouble.

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

Social networking dilemma:

Husband of an acquaintance had a horrible heart attack followed by many complications, which delayed having the bypass or whatever that he normally would have had in fairly short order. It is indeed a lucky and excellent thing that he pulled through, and today finally had the far more extensive surgery which should stabilize him, and I can't understate how genuinely pleased I am that he's pulled through this far and the repairs went well.

But, and here I go into very small petty I am an awful person voice, I kinda want to unlike acquaintance's announcement on FB -- not to pull any sense of support from her, which wouldn't ever want to do, and so I never actually would -- but because I'm being absolutely fucking BURIED in email from random people I don't know that all pretty much say "yay!" and ":)" and the like.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

rat update: she has fled out the front door. Cat is currently penned up inside to give rattus time to get away. We thank-you for your support.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

amych, could you just temporarily un-check the preference that you want to be e-mailed when other people comment on the same thing you commented on?

(Is that even a preference for FB?)

It... probably is. But I find it hard enough to find my way through all the million prefs to find the right ones, let alone remember what I want them to be. Stupid facebook.

(IOW, good suggestion -- I'll do that.)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

It... probably is. But I find it hard enough to find my way through all the million prefs to find the right ones, let alone remember what I want them to be. Stupid facebook.

You can also filter it out of your gmail.

Easier still, since Facebook is so made of fail today that it's crashing every time I try to get to the settings page. Bah.

(Mostly, I feel heartless and trollish and therefore seek technological solutions. Sigh.)

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

Those notifications drive me crazy too.

Calli, thanks! Just what I needed. Vortex and Laga, um, points for effort.

Trust my rage

I had this dilemma a few days ago. I was thinking I should wait to say Happy Birthday or whatever in the future for a while until the mass of people had posted so I wouldn't be inundated.
