*(Did I equivocate enough? That's my favorite Buffista pastime -- making sure that statements are equivocated, because absolute statements are often [though not always (see what I did there?)] followed by a post where someone immediately provides proof/anecdata to the contrary.)
There's a reason my tag used to be "I await your inevitable well-crafted responses proving me wrong."
I probably need to learn to be more precise in my communication, but I really dislike how, too often, "precise" looks like "equivocation." And I hate equivocating.
Excellent use of parens, btw.
Connie, much -ma to your sister.
I don't really have the experience to comment on the douchenozzle parenting conversation. My dad died when I was a baby, and it hurt to be without him, but I was always comforted by people telling me what a good father he was.
I have a friend who is recently divorced. Just as his youngest graduated from college. He regrets waiting so long, because he is afraid that his daughter has no idea what a healthy relationship looks like ( his son , the younger one seems more perceptive.)
and ma~~ to your sister, connie
but I don't know how she'd feel about my talking about it with my circle.
There's always "I have a friend who had chemo and I can ask her if she has any suggestions."
Ha, ya Calli. I'm over it. Forgive, but not forget. Life is too short to hold a grudge.
For Erin (and others who need it):

it just helped me past a moment of "I am a leaf on the wind..." here at work, so I thought I would share.
Thanks mmnis, I've sent it along to a few people today
Connie, lots of ~ma to your sister. Fuck cancer.
Omnis, I'm glad your "leaf on the wind" moment wasn't followed by a horizontal pile-driver rock.
Love y'all. Off to work, now.
