Oh, Maria, I'm so sorry to have upset you. Ted was really unlucky; 99% of people with his numbers lived.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Splitsider piece on it had some incredibly skeevy discussion, which was still kind of interesting, FYI.
My mom still doesn't have power. I asked if there was a hotel she and my dad could stay at since she just wants a hot shower and you know, lights.
My cousin said her town was opening up the showers in the high school gym for people. That sounds...suboptimal.

Nail gun, Allyson. You want Amanda(She wrote me back last week, I rock!) and a nailgun. Less messy, no recoil, Snoop-approved.

Jessica,
the person who told the story deleted his FB account, so...I'm thinking he wasn't making it up. If you are making it up, just say so and be done with it.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Not even reading the story. Just not willing to deal with that kind of depravity today.
Thanks everyone. It's just as things get closer, the more *real* it seems.

flea, there's no need to apologize. Rationally, I know the odds are heavily in his favor, but emotionally, I want to curl up in a ball and cry. I'm just oversensitive right now, and things are hitting me with the force of a meteor from space.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Or if he did make it up, he's regretting it hardcore.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

One can only hope.

Ann, that's a ferret.

And you're probably right not to read the story, made up or true.
