'The Message'
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.
I can tell you, from experience, that this is one place - maybe *the* one place - where you can say what you need to and let go of being the strong one, even if it's just for a minute. So rage if you need to, weep if you need to. You won't hurt us.
This. So much this. I can't even tell you how much. We're here.
I am so sorry Maria. Please continue posting your thoughts and don't worry about bothering us. This is a great place to feel support.
I'm so sorry, Maria. What everyone else said about using your support systems, like this place. Anything I can do, of course.
Timelies all!
I'm so sorry, Maria. {{{hugs}}}
Maria, I'm so sorry.
ION, this might be fun for people who are fans of Disney theme parks: Abandoned Disney, Part 1
Abandoned Discovery Island, 1974-1999
Located in the middle of Bay Lake, this island is off-limits to park visitors today (it was closed back in 1999, with the introduction of Animal Kingdom). This place has rich and varied history (it remained open for 25 years, and before that was used mostly for farming as far back as the early 1900s), features a rich botanical environment, a huge amount of birds and many animal exhibits. One of the island owners even lived on it with his pet crane (pet crane?... I gotta get one of these!).
Late start this am. This is what happens when all my neighbors are out of town!
But back from market, gonna go see if I am in time to catch the toilet bowl race.
No, really.
I had a list of errands, but it's not going to happen today. (msbelle, I will mail you that book someday! But that day is not today...) In a couple of hours, I'm off to give my mother and some friends a tour of my job. Should be fun?
Article in yesterday's NY Times regarding NYC residents' ambivalent feelings toward 9/11 events. A quote:
many New Yorkers want nothing to do with the innumerable happenings attached like limpets to the anniversary. Plenty of them are leaving town, wanting as much space as possible from the ghosts and the day’s enduring grasp.
