Maria my response to the "run home to mom and dad" thing would probably be "And that's a bad thing?" Major upheavals kind of demand the proxmity of loved ones.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
If he's got questions about stuff that he can't find out easily, feel free to give him my e-mail address; I'll do my best to help.
I will be sending out an e-mail in a couple months before they move up (in June, likely). They know NOBODY in Madison, so any help is appreciated. I'm hoping someone can host a welcome game night/dinner or something.
Poor sick Buffistas! I hope you get well soon.

Maria, that sounds like a very good thing.

Yay Maria! Your plan sounds perfect to me. Cheers, lady!

How can my dad be stressing me out this bad and he's not even here yet?
ETA: of course, that's part of the problem. I held off on lunch because when I talked to him just before 1, he was leaving on what should be a 1:45 min drive, 2 hours with stops. Of which he is current on hour 3.5, and still about 20 minutes out. I don't even.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
brenda, this is what happens with my family, every single time. I fist-bump you in weary solidarity.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
brenda, how annoying. I hope he arrived and you have eaten.
Liese, how awful. Feel better.
I'm feeling better enough that food sounds like a good idea again, and I'm actually even a bit hungry. TCG is out to dinner with his dad and stepmom, which I didn't go to because I'm not better enough to eat restaurant food, but I am better enough to be bored.

The status is NOT quo.
Wow was I behind! I'm sorry so many people have been having such a hard time. First off, much love to you, Strix. It's not easy to face a hard reality like that, and it takes tremendous courage to share it. We love you, and you will be okay. Hugs.
Next, sj, I'm so sorry you've been having such a hard time eating. I went through a bad flare up of my ibs and depression a few years ago that had a similar effect, and it was such a hard time. I truly empathize and wish you well. And Liese! Food poisoning is no fun. Feel better soon, and go to the doctor. You likely need IV fluids, silly.
Oh Brenda, I'm sorry about the family stress. Hang in there.
Maria, sorella mine, you continue to inspire me. Congratulations on making such a hard, but wonderfully good, decision, and I wish you all the best in your move.
And...crap, I can't scroll up on my phone to see who else I wanted to send a message to. Love to all!
I'm on Spring Break (cue wild applause) and am relaxing today with the intensity of the recently-stressed out. So far I did a body sculpt class at my new gym, made a healthy lunch, took a nap, and caught up here. It's glorious.
