Hah! Take a picture.
Maria's muuuuch closer to me for work now, so if looking for groups, Towson, MD/N Baltimore or her home city.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
More silly:
Today at the vet's, there was a woman with a fairly young kitten, probably weighing about four pounds. She lives in a retirement home, where the apartments include a cord to pull for an emergency. She hears people banging on her door, saying "Are you okay?" She looks over and sees the kitten swinging on the cord.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I think we do need a picture of you inhabiting the hardhat.
Hee, about the kitty! Totally such a thing kittens would do.

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
So this is my text for the Terriers on DVD petition. I just need something with numbers on it to show a distributor. Of course, the risk is that I only get fifty signatures. But, I gotta know.
We, the undersigned, do solemnly swear to buy Terriers on DVD, and to forever love the distributor. For it will be the best-looking, sexiest, smartest, coolest distributor, ever.
That's all I need, really, and I'll explain on the blog post that this is pretty much just a numbers game. I need empirical evidence that there's still a market, a year later. And if there isn't, well, I'm a jackass, I guess. Fortunately, I'm a known jackass so it won' really hurt me any worse.

Oh Maria, I am so sorry to hear this latest kick in the teeth for you and your DH. I wish there was something I could do of a more practical nature than offering love and long-distance support.

Oh Maria. Honey, I am so sorry. No one deserves this, and especially not you and your DH.
Lean on your support networks. Don't think you are asking for too much attention, or bothering us, or ANYTHING like that. This is what friends are meant for, to hold us together when we can't do it ourselves.
I wish there was something I could do.

I'm so sorry Maria. We are all here for you.

Maria you are absolutely right that it is not fair. I am angry on your behalf and on behalf of your husband. But you will get through this. And since all I can give you is sympathy and good wishes you have those from me. And those who can offer more will.

Oh, Maria, I'm so sorry. But yes, what everyone upthread said: lean on us. That's why we're here.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Maria, I am so sorry. If it's any consolation, I had a friend in NYC who had stage IV melanoma--a decade before I knew him. Beating it was a tough row to hoe, but he did it.
