Good wishes for my oldest sister as she starts another round of chemo, this one involving hospitalizations because of the time it takes for administering the drugs. She's feeling frail and listless and has to force herself to eat because of the growths in her pelvis. Reconnecting with family over funerals is not the way to do it.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

What is even happening?

Oh Connie, please forgive my bad timing. I skipped to the end of the thread and your post wasn't up when I started composing. All the best to your sister, and to you and your family.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Good ~ma for your sister, Connie.
Congratulations, Gris!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
From what I read last night, confession is still a tell-all-your-lurid-secrets dealio.
I believe that in some parishes at least, they will do a general confession/absolution during the service - which is frowned up by their higher-ups, and yet, they do it that way anyway. In those parishes, the priests will still make themselves available for those, usually older people, who prefer the old fashioned one-to-one confession. Of course, my knowledge of Catholic churches in America comes mostly from Andrew Greeley novels, so what do I know?

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
How did I end up being the person who gets into a political fight on Facebook with one of my best friend's MOTHERS? I've known this woman for 21 years, spent holidays at her house, and she just fucking defriended me on Facebook.
The Internet is so bizarre.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Honestly, Amyth, had she known all these years what a seekrit kenyan muslim communist socialist you were all these years she'd have never had you over to begin with...
