Amy, much love going out to you and your family. I'm so sorry.
Do you know what else has blood in it? Blood.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Amy, I'm sorry.

In stupid work news, I hadn't heard back from someone who's notorious for not getting back, so I got a wee bit snippy in my email, and....she wrote back that she had been out of the office because her husband had emergency surgery. Oops.

Because books.
Thanks, everyone.
I think the weirdest thing for me was that I had just written "Mimi!" on my to-do list for the day when my mom called (as in I was planning to go sit with her for a while -- she hadn't been alert enough to speak or acknowledge anyone for days). And then as I was leaving the nursing home, "Welcome to the Black Parade" had just started.
The staff there are just incredible, though. Mimi was there seven years, and so many of the staff have been with her the whole time, and loved her like one of their own family.

Consuela, how absolutely atrocious. I don't even know what to say.

That's wonderful, Amy, to have had that for her.

Condolences, Amy.

not your mom's socks.
So sorry, Amy. Hugs to you and your family.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So sorry to hear about your loss, Amy.
My sister sent a strange clip of a Jamaican radio show where a caller in was being eaten out while on the line, and the DJ was encouraging them both to be nice and noisy.
Very special.
Crazy pussy. Mad pussy them have.

So Hubby found someone with cash in hand--$6000 cash in hand--to buy a few of the complete Magic sets we have. Original sets, from back in the day. He pulls the binders off the shelf--and finds that at some time in the past few years, someone who has access to the back rooms of our house has lifted several of the rare cards.
He is not a happy man, and I get to spend the rest of the week with someone who is madly tearing apart the house hoping that somewhere in all the years of stuff are cards to make up the sets. It's not going to happen, and this won't be pretty.
Thanks, unknown person we trusted.
