I actually went to weekday Mass and said a prayer for her just a few minutes ago, Maria. So, no, you're not blinvisible, and she's getting well wishes and vibes in numerous denominations from all over the world.
Jayne: Here's a little concept I been workin' on. Why don't we shoot her first? Wash: It is her turn.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I would absolutely say yes to a student who asked this.
I have done. (Our students pay per semester rather than per class, so it ends up somewhere between auditing and sitting in.) I was really pleased to be asked, and students who take that much initiative are usually the best attenders. I've also asked to do this a few times, and never been turned down.
Thoughts for your cousin's wife, Maria.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Maria, I totally thought I posted something, but apparently that only happened in my head. Tons of ~ma for your cousin's wife and so many good thoughts headed your way.
What sj said, mucho ~ma.
And sorry we made you feel marcied.

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
Thanks, everyone. Today has been a day, and I'm just a bit vulnerable.
Sorry for always turning it back to me.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Maria, there is really no need to apologize. We're here for you.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
{{{Maria}}} Also, ~ma to your cousin and his wife.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Specific and general ~ma to you and your family. I can completely understand that you'd be feeling vulnerable right now.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Maria, I totally thought I posted something, but apparently that only happened in my head. Tons of ~ma for your cousin's wife and so many good thoughts headed your way.
I am also sj. Amazing what I can forget to post in the time it takes me to change threads. Lots of ~ma and love and healing to her and your whole family.
And now I mememe:
I've had a headache all day, my right knee doesn't want to bend, and as a result of the latter I nearly got run down by some asshole in a giant SUV who thought I wasn't crossing fast enough. Bite me, Monday.

{{Maria}} So much ~ma to your cousin and your family.
eta: How can my brain use the correct version of your the first time and the totally wrong one the next? Swiss cheese, I swear.
