Burrell and Kate, so much ~ma for your respective family members. Good thoughts are headed your way.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ease to you, Burrell and Kate.
At least half this jury panel is in entertainment. I was the only one in IT. Man, LA.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm so sorry to hear that, Kate. Much strength and ~ma to you and your DH & family. I'm glad that you can get to see her. No flooding ~ma for the road trip.
My MiL seems so checked out right now, but I hear tell last night when she awoke, she looked up and saw C and broke into a huge smile. Makes me glad he was with her.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Back in '90 or so, I saw the Madison, WI band Camel Toe perform. I didn't find out what the term meant until several years later.
I wonder if they stole that from Serial Mom (where L7 in very tight pants and, er, some enhancements, played a band called Camel Toe). Was it an all-woman band?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Was it an all-woman band?
No. All guys.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am reading vintage school sewing books.
Is this description (an exercise readying students for the thimble) basically flipping someone the bird?
3. Train a child to call that part of a thimble that rests on the back of
the finger the back of the thimble.
Practice in preparing the right hand for the use of the thimble :Raise the right hand, hold the thumb and first finger in a horizontal position, while the second or thimble finger is held vertically ; then lay the first finger over the third and fourth, holding the three down to the palm with the thumb. This is a difficult exercise for untrained muscles, and the child should rest after four or five trials.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Thanks, everyone. I really appreciate all the good wishes.
Be sure to check the road conditions before you leave. Last I heard there was a major detour off I-40 for a flooded section east of Little Rock, with lots of backed-up truck traffic.
Yeah, I saw that -- what a mess. Google gives an alternate route between Jackson, TN and Conway, AR that ought to keep us clear of the worst of it, though I'm sure all alternate routes will be super busy too. Argh.
Please tell him I'm thinking about him.
Thanks, amyth. I know he'll appreciate it.
My MiL seems so checked out right now, but I hear tell last night when she awoke, she looked up and saw C and broke into a huge smile. Makes me glad he was with her.
Oh, that's wonderful. It really is a gift to be with the people you love at the end. I'm so glad C is able to be there.

I'm hearing news that they arrested a man who allegedly pulled a gun out of his backpack when the President's motorcade passed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If it isn't, I can't figure out what else it could be!

I feel like the odds that it was NOT a gun are pretty high, no?
