That is such a personal thing I don't think I can even give meta advice on the decision making process let alone say anything about the decision. I will say that I trust you to make the right decision, whatever it turns out to be.

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.

"Command and control" is a standard term for regulation (and sometimes public investment) in economics. It is kind of a propaganda victory that it became a standard term, but whether I like or not it is a technical term, a term of art. Question: when an entire phrase is a technical term, does it belong in quotes, because the meaning lies in the entire phrase? And because it has a specific meaning in the context of economics. It occurs to me, for example, that "command and control" might mean something very different to a naval officer than it does to an economist.

Compassionately intolerant
askye, I'm so, so sorry for your loss. What a terrible shock.
You are doing the right thing taking care of yourself, and your discernment process will net the right choice for you.
Peace be to you and Maddie's spirit...with a little extra appreciation for Will's support and laying her to her rest.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

This. So very this.

Thrive to spite them
Will is going to make her a marker. And on top on everything the internet is out. At the house. Kinda. I'm using Will's phone Comcast will be out tomorrow between 2 and 3.

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
I am so sorry for your loss, askye.

askye, so, so sorry. Such a shock.
ND (and Pix), I'm so sorry that you're dealing with all of this, and that there's no easy resolution. Hoping for the best possible outcome.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Man. As many times as I've gotten dates wrong and paid the price (missing an Ani DiFranco show, among many other incidents), you would think I'd double/triple/quadruple check dates. But no, I left work two hours early to wait for them to turn on the power/gas at my new place. With a half hour to go in the timeslot, I called the power company... to discover that the appointment was for tomorrow. So I have to leave early AGAIN. I did get some unpacking done, though, so that's good.
I need to find a sideboard or low dresser for the kitchen. I have literally (yes, really) no counterspace or drawers in the kitchen and that will Not Do. Time to start haunting the thrift stores!
