I am all brained out for today. And sorry to see that others are having shitty days.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That is a pile of suck, Kat. I'm sorry.
I think that iPhone is perfectly sensible. I'm not inclined to work when it's 102F either.
In completely random news, why did John C. Calhoun look so goddamn scary?
Can't do a neti pot. Tried once and it wasn't pretty.
Neilmed. I tell you Neilmed. Also Rite-aid now has a generic Neilmed. Which means other drugstore have generic neilmeds.
"Neilmed" = squeezy bottle? (Because Neilmed the manufacturer makes neti pots, too, so I'm confused).
Oh Kat, I'm sorry. What a pile-on of crap. YOU do not suck, but I do know that it feels that way when everything around you is a suckfest.
My kids are going insane, I need to get them out of the house for a bit, packing or no.
So, it must just be a day for crap...I just got written up at work. 2 items, one is kinda bogus (implying lots of mistakes because there was one recewntly that made my boss angry) - the other is completely bogus because my boss forgot he approved my June vacation in April and is mad because my email reminding him was not early enough. That one I have rebutted in writing to HR already with attachment screen shots and timesheet references. Still, crying, so there's that.
Oh ugh, msbelle. You are still awesome.
WHAT HAPPENED TO GOOD NEWS FRIDAY, WORLD???
Oh msbelle, I'm sending a hug to you.
This is kinda' good news:
After Lt. Col Roy Tisdale, a Texas A&M alum, passed away on June 28th following being shot during a training exercise at Fort Bragg, the A&M community began to grieve for the loss of a loved member of the Aggie family. However, when news of Westboro Baptist Church’s intentions to picket the funeral of the decorated soldier reached the community, several Aggies decided to organize a silent human “Maroon Wall” to surround College Station’s Central Baptist Church and preserve the sanctity of the funeral for the fallen commanding officer and his family.
Ryan Slezia, a co-organizer of the “Maroon Wall” and a 2008 graduate of Texas A&M, created the event on Facebook with several other alums and classmates after he saw Westboro’s announcement. The fundamentalist church, an anti-gay hate group, claims that “war casualties are divine revenge for America tolerating gays and lesbians” and has long protested at the funerals of celebrities, soldiers, and others with messages such as “Pray For More Dead Soldiers.” Ultimately, over 600 Aggies arrived in the blistering Texas summer heat to link arm-in-arm in a heartening display of loyalty and compassion.
In the end, no Westboro members were spotted at the funeral or the burial site, possibly deciding to forgo the protest after hearing about the human wall.
