Happy birthday, wonderful jz! I can't tell you how much I look forward to the wisdom and humor and deep kindness in all of your posts.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

What Scrappy said.
Really, happy birthday. You are one of the most wonderful people.

And, Cash, I am glad your mom has such excellent odds.
We should work on CancerBegone. Like Oxyclean for cells that ran amok.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Sadly, I read kind compliments like yours and there goes that voice in my head muttering, "If I'm the best they can do they really need to meet a better class of people, because I'm not all that and a bag of chips."
It's probably too much to hope that in the coming year I come even close to thinking of myself as all that and a bag of chips, or even just all that. But a bag of chips is *totally* achievable.

Happy, happy birthday, JZ! I will echo what Cass and Scrappy said, because you're one of the kindest people I know.

What is even happening?
I feel like I need to create an Internet Tropes Wiki, and call pseudicide "Pulling a Fast Eddie."
Is it up yet?

You are totally a bag of chips, JZ. AND all that, too.
I got an email from my SIL, and they're okay and it's raining. So no worry about them.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

What the hell is that voice doing in your head? I thought it was firmly stationed in mine.

That voice is one fuck of a multitasker, I tell you what. I'm pretty sure it's broadcasting to any number of Buffistas.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Pffft. Silly voice. JZ's pretty much the gold standard for All That.
