So, 11 advertisers have dropped Rush Limbaugh, and a radio station in Hawai has dropped Rush's program.

I read 12 at Jezebel earlier. Soon, he'll have to get his free speech rantypants on the way the rest of us do. He'll have to sign up for facebook.

It's-nothing-ma, Maria. You deserve good and positive news.

So I can't decide if I should be more happy or annoyed that the building management

Ugh. They should mention somehow that they've been in. It's good manners and likely the law as well. Yay fixed though.

I'd like to be anything but annoyed with my bldg mgmt though. The people actually here are great but the management company has never done anything but annoy me, cost me money and make my life difficult. I don't even know where to go on the internets to tell people that renting from UDR will make you tear your hair out, cry and cost you serious money. Bleh.

So, 11 advertisers have dropped Rush Limbaugh, and a radio station in Hawai has dropped Rush's program.

I am actually shocked. I mean, relieved. But shocked. My view of humanity and America in particular is sad. Things like this make me want to hope just a little. But the fact that this conversation is ongoing and considered mainstream? Less.

Maintenance guy at my old place used to come in all the time, without notifying me. Like once a month, seriously, to change a filter or inspect something. I knew he'd been there by the dirty footprints on the kitchen floor. I hated it.

Nothing-ma to you, Maria.

You guys, I don't think I can begin to tell you how long and hard this week is already.

And then my mother decided to tell me today that she was in the hospital for 2 days last week.

Gah, Lee! Does that mean she's out now? Is she okay?

Oh, Lee, I am sorry. Is she out now? Is she okay? Are you? Does she need a remedial course in "What We Tell People, Even When We Are A Private Person?" because I can lead that course. Not well, but no one finds out I was in the hospital last week as a surprise. Dear Lee's mom, we tell our kids these things. We just do.

I'm pretty sure she's out now.

She didn't answer that email though, so I have to kind of guess on that point.

Oh no, Lee. There's stoic and private, and then there's just worrying after the fact. I hope she's home and okay now.

Does she need a remedial course in "What We Tell People, Even When We Are A Private Person?"

Cass,

I might need to take this course.

I might need to take this course.

I only need this course in regards to my parents! ...I still haven't told them I got a new job, nor that I was ever (three times!) laid off. Or that we got a foster cat. Mostly I tell them where I've been once I get back.

But I'll tell all of Facebook these things...
