Jesse what you missed was this
THANK YOU SO MUCH! That is the jam.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Really? You want me to have something else done by Monday? I take it all back. The pony better come with a star.

I think being taught Sunday School by someone for whom the theology is an academic subject would be cool. But then I always harassed my Sunday School teachers.

My mother's going to show her the Christmas curriculum before they make a final call....

Islam considers Jesus to be a prophet, don't they? Just not The Prophet?

I am trying to burn through my to-do list before I leave for my weekend. My desk is drowning in paper, and seriously, how much can I do in the next 22 minutes anyway?

I think that's right. Definitely great man, not Son of God. I imagine it's mostly Easter that would be an issue, really. I mean, the whole Son of God bit is pretty much the whole thing. (Although all I remember from my own Sunday school days is acting out Palm Sunday, so.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Gold star, ita !
The pet insurance article was interesting but the claim that "the problem is there's probably nothing that could possibly happen to this cat that would cost $6,000" is either wickedly optimistic or they really are never planning on treating an illness.
I do know my parents need to pay the bills and then submit for reimbursement. They've not had any troubles though.

MwhahahahahhahAHAHAHAHAHA! wipes eyes AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHH!
Yeah, if I was feeling particularly masochistic, I'd add up Mister Kitty's decade of bills. Pretty sure I exceeded that. Probably $3k easily this past year alone (mostly due to having to use the Vet ER on several Sundays...) Ridiculous, but it was well worth it to me. eta: And I feel vindicated that all that was diabetes related and it wasn't the diabetes that finally was gonna kill him.

Don't. You. Dare. One, you'd do it again. Two, I don't want to feel peer pressure to do the same. Ridiculous amounts. But worth it.
