{{amyth}} So much love and peace to you and your family. That's a really tough thing to have to go through.
IOmeN, I was supposed to have company for NYE with Asti Spumonte and nibbles, but my brother got rear-ended on the way over to my place. He said there wasn't any visible damage, but he's driving my dad's rental (dad got T-boned a couple of weeks ago in his new-this-year-but-used car) and didn't want any hassle from either the police or the rental agency, so they went home after they filed their report. This just seems to be a crap winter for cars of friends and family; I think that's the fourth or fifth accident that I've heard about in the past month. So, I just want to send out car~ma to everyone, because it seems like the extra vibes just might be handy!
