Thanks, Typo and everyone. While I'm well acquainted with Frantz Fanon and agree with a hell lot of what he says, it's very difficult not to be worried, or say "we deserve this" when it's drive-by shooting and stones throwing at buses (I'm still very alerted and staying away from windows when the bus arrives to the place where occasionally they throw stones from - although it's a rare event) becomes a routine. Let's see if we'll have a quiet weekend.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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.
Laga, I'm glad your kitty has so many friends.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I chatted with ND last night on the way home. As Pix said, slowly getting better. While not strong, he did sound in good spirits. Pix, please don't hesitate to ask for help. I'm just down the freeway.
Sigh. I should not try to operate an electric stove before I'm awake. Just turned on the wrong burner and didn't realize it for 20 minutes.Yup. Been there, done that, and burned myself on the burner that was on. Gas is easier, it flames up right away, and you hear it.
My sistah! (Oh wait. I can also do that, wide awake. Am not good with "simple" things with too many buttons on).computers? They have lots of buttons.
ION- Had a face-palm moment with boss this morning. We have these monthly xcel time sheets. I'm still new to this concept. I click the tab for the new month, but the sheet starts on the 6th, next monday. Boss has office right next door. "Um, boss, did your sheet start with the 6th instead of the first?" He comes into my office, sits down, looks at sheet, ponders, AND SCROLLS THE SHEET. D'oh! Why didn't I try that. It was just a smidge not all the way to the left. He laughed and said that would be a mistake he would make, being the non-computer guy that he is. Face+palm!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's funny, omnis, and so something I have done. With spreadsheets I made myself.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Oh yeah that sounds familiar. So does erasing an entire week's worth of work so a little scroll to the left is nothing to be embarassed about.

Great way to start off a day, I tell you what.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I have so done that with spreadsheets before.

"How Soon Is Now" just popped into play on my iTunes. Thought I'd share.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Awesome news, Jilli! And a great write up too.
