I'm sorry Spidra, and wish I had something more helpful to say.
Peaceful passing, for your grams, Nora.

[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.

Oh, sorry to hear about your grandma, Nora.
Also, to the people who keep coming into my office - I do not know where this meeting is. I have told you that. I have told you that other people have asked and I haven't known when they asked. I just work in my office, I don't schedule the building. I would put up a sign, but I know that people wouldn't read it, and when they asked their stupid question anyway, I would be hostile. I know this from experience (both the stupidity and the hostility)

How annoying, omnis. Does the landlord pay your water bill? If it's the landlord, they should have extra incentive to make the maintenance person get his act together.Yes, they pay for water. Which was what the repair dude said in the morning "It's not like you are paying for the water". But dude, we live in an area that is in constant near drought conditions. We shouldn't just throw water away. I've turned off the valve to not waste water (or make annoying noise of water constantly flowing/dripping).

Nora, I'm sorry about your grandmother.
Omnis, how frustrating that it is so difficult to get something fixed.
G is really trying my patience today.

I'm herding passive-aggressive ADHD cats. We are at the inevitable point at which my mother hates everyone else and my sister hates me. I have, however, escaped from them to frantically write and scan pictures for the service they've set up for TOMORROW. It won't be in the paper until tomorrow morning. His wife is too ill to come. He was cremated. Why, why, why?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Ugh Ginger. That sucks you have to be the herder. Much ~ma to you.

I only have to herd two people; they're just very unherdable. I always have to herd them, because without herding, my mother would either still be talking to some guy she just met or trying to figure out what to wear and my sister would be taking copious notes and then telling everyone the wrong thing. The granddaughter is doing the real herding; I just don't understand this particular decision.

Oy vey, Ginger. Much coping ~ma for you.
IOsortameN: Nate received his first progress report from his new school yesterday and for the first time ever, the boy got a straight A report card. Far, far cry from the Ds & Fs he was getting in the Public School From Hell in Jacksonville.
Best part, though, wasn't the grades; it was the comments made by his teachers. All of them uniformly praised his willingness to work and for Humanities, his teacher commented on his sense of humor and what an exceptional vocabulary he has, even going so far to say that on one of their recent tests, the definition that Nate gave was better than the one stated by the textbook.
