"Reign" is sufficient, few monarchs, if any, have partial or restricted reign. Reign is a right of the crown. Free rein is bestowed by a superior, theoretically.

meara, that's appalling. So many good thoughts for that child and his family.

More good thoughts for your dad and family, Plei.

Fred, I'm sorry to hear about the diagnosis. If there's nothing else to be done, may things at least go easy and gentle.

Such horrible news in Beep me. Good thoughts to those that need'em.

Only good news I have is that the paint matches pretty well?

Oh, man. Good wishes to those that need them.

I was going to come in here and complain, but now I feel sort of petty.

Backflung, Vortex!

"Free reign" is a given

Tell that to Queen E. It's totally not.

~ma to those who need it.

All ~ma to meara's nurse and Plei's father.

Okay, guys, I'm not sure I can take this anymore. My roommates have a puppy, and she is a very cute puppy, but she barks nonstop, for hours, whenever she's left alone. Literally, she has been barking for the last four hours, and I just want to go to bed. Augh.

Crate her? Bring her to bed with you? Treat in a kong? Wax earplugs?

It's nice to see you again, Holli, even if you are being driven mad.

Basically, it's a matter of waiting for my roommates to get home. Which they had better do soon.

I have been having... a moderately rough several weeks, I would say. It's soothing to be back here.
