askye, I hope you get your stuff soon, and I'm glad the kitties are doing well.
WindSparrow, medical bills are teh suck. But how lovely that someone was there to keep you present.
Seska, have you looked into Dialectical Behavioral Training? It's been helpful for me and my sis and other Buffistas. Good balance of woo woo and highly practical, based on mindfulness.
Sweet suffering jeebus screaming crispies on a cracker, my friend is texting me that former org just laid off two people from their NOLA office, which is a small office with a lot of work. Not good. Glad I was in the first wave of layoffs.
On a related note - something about that place felt creepy and familiar, and I finally figured it out. Remember the creepy warren in Watership Down? Where everything was great on the surface, but poison underneath? Yeah, just like that.
penguins!
people to help!
furiture!
I am pretending to be awake
condolences and much ~ma to Trudy and family.
smonster, in a perfect world, someone would buy our house in Salem, we'd buy either the house we live in and rent the rental unit to you, or we'd get a much bigger place where you could crash. But, first week of June is still a bit of a ways off, who knows!?
I'm giving a talk at combinatorics seminar today. I haven't given a talk about my own research in almost a year now. I'm mostly just hoping that I don't say anything obviously wrong.
All condolences to Trudy and family.
So sorry, Trudy. Condolences and love to your whole family.
All I know about Combinatorics is that Amita studied it...you'll do way better than I.
Aw, thanks, Nora. That would be nice.
smonster, I've encountered DBT, but any time I've looked into it it's seemed ever so complicated, which put me off. Interesting to hear that it's helpful, though.
Hope the seminar goes well, Hil!
