So great to hear from you, bonny! And I'm so glad that Bartleby is doing better than expected at this point. I know it's a long road, but sounds like things are going well.

bonny, glad to hear Bartleby's feeling better. If you need anything, I can get down to your place fairly easily (Metro allowing).

Thanks Todd. My only need right now is frozen peas to use as an ice pack, but I think I've got a hook-up. If that doesn't work out, I'll be in touch. I think it's okay though.

Bartleby is being super cuddly, which is not really his way. I'm wondering if the Tramadol is giving him some, "I love you man" moments.

Aw, I'm SO glad Bartleby is doing well! Yeah, he may become grumpier when the drugs wear off, but don't we all... Healing vibes going out to both of you, bonny!

bonny, I'm glad to hear he's doing well. Let me know if you need anything like borrowing a car, etc.

Steph, I'm so sorry about the restaurant.

What Sparky said.

And not to interrupt the conversation again, but I apologize for disappearing on you last week after the night from hell. I had nothing more left to give and I needed to lick my wounds and figure out if things could be made right. It was hard enough just getting out of bed and going to work,

To that end, if the DC and Baltimore folks have any recommendations for good therapists that accept CIGNA, I'd be more than grateful. Profile addy is always good.

But all I meant was that it doesn't make sense to say that it's ONLY a relationship if it changes you, because not all relationships do.

Tell that to Laura and Scrappy, because that's what they seemed to be saying. I was denying the inevitability.

And wondered if it was ita's barefoot site or something more particular.

Honestly (not that I'm biased) but I think celeb barefoot sites are less different than normal person barefoot sites. Because celeb sites are about pictures of celebs. And normal people sites are about pictures of bare feet.

Maria! Good to see you. I hope getting things out helped you.

Oh, man- I am so sad about the Alchemist. It was such a wonderful haven of awesome in all senses. Heartbreaking for everyone. I am so sorry, Tep, please tell your brother (if you wish) that your internet friend (who he actually met at the 5 year anniversary thing) is deeply sad and sorry.

Maybe after canning and wider distribution they might be able to rebuild in a different location that can more easily be adapted to FEMA requirements. I guess there's no way to move the brewing operation totally to the new facility and open the brewpub without the brewing setup in the basement? So, so sorry.

sorry about your brother's place, Tep. Hope he finds a new beginning somewhere, but that's sad.
