Sparky, I would like to join in on the general bashing about the head of these people. You've been so much in my heart lately; I know how important Sassafras is to you. I've been praying for no seizures and coming home safely.

Scrappy, much ~ma for the nephew. Meningitis is scary no matter what. Recovery can be hard, too, although hopefully much less so for someone of your nephew's age.

WS, yeah for Daniel getting home safely. We've had snow this week, too, and it's just wrong like a thing that is wrong. Dammit. At least we're starting to see crocuses as well as snow.

Is anyone interested at looking at houses/condos and telling me which one to buy? I'm considering probably five condos and two houses, although the houses are kind of long shots at this point. I see too many pros and cons, and cannot decide which are most important to me.

Sparky, I somehow managed to skip over the post about the shitheads who are making your search for Sassafras more painful than necessary. I'm sorry you are having to deal with that, on top of everything else.

I'm so sorry to hear about the phone calls Sparky. They are On The List. Kick at will.

Sparky, are you freakin' serious?! I am sending out elephantitis of the nuts/painful genital rashes -ma to those bastards.

We get at least one crank call a day, and it kills me a little every time.

On the other hand, thanks to bonny, who went out yesterday to help post signs and who my DH calls "a dynamo."

Sparky, I am so sorry. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Sass's safe return.

Oh, Sparky-- that's just terrible and it breaks my heart that there are people that cruel out there. I'ma join with Erin in the wishes for elephantitis of the nuts with an added dose of a plague of frogs coming to pee on their painful rashes.

Sparky, I am so sorry people are being so awful.

I am sending out elephantitis of the nuts/painful genital rashes -ma to those bastards.

Excellent smite! I was having trouble coming up with one that fit.

Seriously, those people need to have whatever experience will cause them to suffer tenfold for their foolishness. What is the matter with people? (Oh wait, I know the answer to that question...nevermind.)

On the other end of the spectrum, the Capitol Police we spoke to were sympathetic and helpful.

By 'dynamo', what I think Sparky's DH means is 'creepily comfortable with talking to all and sundry strangers.'
