I'm so sorry, Karl. Sounds like a wonderful man, and what you wrote was so lovely.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2011: Maybe the even years are better
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. 2011? Room for improvement. Srsly.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh Karl, I'm so sorry. Wishing peace and comfort to you and your family.

I'm so sorry. He sounds like a wonderful human. People like that are always worth it, even when it's too short. Love to you and your family.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Me again: thank you, Erika!
I got the Amazon package and opened it and thought, "huh, I don't remember ordering this" and then I saw the manifest!
It looks like there are quite a few things I'm going to want to make for my kitty - so it's like a present for her too.
Meanwhile: not to my secret santee - I have part of my gift to you and should be getting another bit of it this week but probably won't be mailing it until after Christmas Day. Unless I get it really early this week. REALLY early.
Signed: Slacker for a reason.
ETA: off to add my new book, Kitty Knits to my Ravelry library!
