Buffistas

I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Happy Birthday, Sue!

x-post with Bitches: Thank you all for the ~ma. My sister-in-law's father passed away Sunday morning. My brother said that they are probably going to have to knock him completely out for the radiation, but he's totally up for that. Turns out the anxiety attacks are a physical symptom of the brain tumor, along with the speech problems, etc., and consequently, are very difficult to treat.

I'm still not sure when a good time to go up to NY will be. I'm thinking that I may want to let things settle a bit, and see how he's feeling after a few weeks of treatment. As my boss reminded me, I'm not going up there to fall into a caretaker role like I fell into with both of my parents (not that my brother and SiL would ever tolerate that from me in a million years). I'm just going up to visit, and to be there.

Stephanie, I'm glad the talk with your boss went better than you expected.

Has anybody had problems with Sears Home Services? Because in my never-ending quest to find somebody to replace my furnace, they seem like they'd be a logical possibility....

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Heh. Yeah. People! Stop assuming I'm judging you!

Heh. See also:

Random person: Want a brownie?

Me: No, thanks.

Person: They're really good, go on, have one.

Me: No, thanks, I'm vegan, and those have egg.

Person: You're vegan? So, like, you think I'm a murderer for eating this brownie? God, you vegans are so judgmental.

Me: Buh?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You're vegan? So, like, you think I'm a murderer for eating this brownie? God, you vegans are so judgmental.

Oh dear.

KILLER BROWNIES.

Dang, Hil, I can FEEL YOU JUDGING ME FROM HERE for the pot roast I have in my fridge!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

For the record, I judge everyone. It's just easier that way.

Is that who Pix had the nightmare with? It was someone similar to that...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is that who Pix had the nightmare with?

Yeah, the air-conditioner fiasco.

OTOH, the Sears in my neighborhood has a great reputation for appliances (I'll be able to report firsthand after this weekend). Since they subcontract for delivery & installation, I'm guessing it varies widely by individual location.

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

I'll give that HomeRoutines app a try, Jess. it looks like it might take care of some of the things OmniFocus doesn't do so well.

My folks had Sears out to fix their dishwasher which led to a complete remodel. Not recommended.

Sending the ~ma to Perkins, just about on time.

I'm judging ita for her judginess. I'm sneering at you (from a safe distance.)
