Wow, amyth, that is so incredibly shitty for her.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Gah for her. (Tell me she doesn't vote Republican currently, please. Although if she did, I would still be sympathetic, I swear.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, amyth. I so hate to hear that W is in that situation. I'm glad she has people to support her, and I hope the condo sells soon. Life! Why so shitty sometimes?

Yeah, it's totally shitty, and scary, the whole deal. She tried to look on the bright side: "At least this is distracting me from wallowing in grief!" But seriously, it's not fair.

Ha! She (and her whole family) are totally Republicans. Long Island, all the way. Hardcore Irish Catholic, pro-life, more than a little bit racist, the stuff of extremely cringeworthy family dinners, to say the least. Going to visit reminds me why I ran away (to North Carolina, of all places) 22 years ago. But she's had the Worst Year Ever.
Ugh, Breitbart.

F*ck Mondays. Came into the office and my work laptop refuses to boot up. Called IT a while awo and they said this would be a priority ticket. Ummmm, no one has appeared yet and I can only do so much thru my iPhone. I have too much to do to be twiddling my thumbs.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
>Thanks, Pix. We didn't really expect to win. We were bouting a more experienced team and they had a jammer that seemingly phased through our walls at will.
I said this on FB, but we saw the Cincy Rollergirls vs. Chicago this weekend, and Chicago's jammers were apparently just teleporting. Wily little buggers. Chicago is very definitely #1 in their division (are they divisions? I can't remember).
The halftime "show" was a beeramid-building contest. For reals. (Only using plastic cups instead of beer cans.) My favorite part of this is that, on the sidelines, there were FOUR separate groups of people who weren't competing in the beeramid contest but had built their own beeramids because they were beeramid fangroupies. Seriously.
Most of the sponsors of the derby team were establishments from my neighborhood (restaurants, bars, hair salons, coffeeshop), which is awesome. Every time they announced one, I would yell "Northside REPRESENT!"
I don't know why Tim goes out in public with me.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Seriously--two things that popped up in home/car ownership recently have been mitigated by a smart, reliable plumber and an awesome, matter-of-fact mechanic. Instead of a spendy $1K sump-pump replacement, we got a clog removed and the septic pumped on a Sunday for $600. Instead of a costly $1K A/C repair on the van, the mechanic said he can do a fix for $300 that bypasses the expensive part in the rear of the van.
Still sucks to spend that much but $1K is MUCH better than $2K.

Amy, really sorry about the layoff for your SIL.
