Eek, Maria. And J.S. deserves props for (1) correcting promptly, (2) contacting you promptly, and (3) being apologetic.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Yeah, yikes, and good job on you, and good on them for the correction, even if the error is somewhat befuddling.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Damn, Maria. Your email was highly tactful, considering, and I'm glad they responded in kind. Definitely not something anyone should have to deal with.
Frankie just got in a fight at the de facto dog park. The dog (a big 1 yo, not super trained) was after Frankie's ball (which he won't even fetch half the time). We separated them, no physical harm done to either dog, but sheesh. Frankie seems to be getting sassier as he matures, and I'm sure it's something I'm doing (or not doing), but I don't know exactly what.

About 3 1/2.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Damn, Maria. You really did handle that gracefully, which is not how I would react to such a damn gut punch.
I wish you peace and comfort from the funeral.
Thanks folks. It was perfect for him. He was a musician -- a drummer -- his whole life. He played in multiple bands his whole life, mostly rock, but also at his church. He had a duo with a friend, who played guitar and sang. His partner performed "Stormy Monday" a la the Allman Brothers during the service. And then after the various people spoke about G.'s life, the pastor announced there would be an unconventional tribute, and played "The End" from Abbey Road, because of Ringo's drum solo.
G. would have loved it.

Good.
And now go easy on yourself. Did you decide to take the day off or work? (I vote day off.)

I am at the office because I had a lunch here and needed to get food in my belly now. And I'm going to grab a manuscript to take home and work on tomorrow.
So once I eat my lunch, I'm going to head home, play with the dog, go lift a lot of weights, and take the mother of all naps.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Sounds like an excellent plan, Teppy!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Yikes, Maria, that's a gut punch indeed. I'm very glad it was corrected quickly, but so sorry you had to deal with that. I've been thinking about you and wondering how you're doing, so it's good to see you checking in.
Steph, a nap sounds like an excellent plan.
