I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Tech document question: I'm writing a test strategy document, and some of the audience doesn't understand some of the acronyms--glossary goes at the beginning or the end? I can't really expand it in the text, since it's a label in a diagram.

Can you define the acronyms in the paragraph immediately after the diagram? If not, I'm used to the glossary going at the end.

Punishingly Intricate

It happened on the street in front of the inn owned by the man who was injured. It probably was basically random.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That's just shocking. I'm very sorry for your friend, lisah.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh my goodness- I am so sorry for your friend, Lisah.

Also many condolences to you Liese.

And to Scrappy and Jason. From what I have seen from friends, clearly Uncle Joe's work was well loved by many people around the world.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That's just shocking. I'm very sorry for your friend, lisah.

What Billytea said.

Condolences to Liese and Scrappy and their SOs as well.

It's always sudden.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Because, objectively, it should be fine.

Yeah, this. It really should be. This one particularly, it's totally part of the whole cycle of life deal. She was sick for a long time. My mother-in-law was spending a lot of time being her caregiver. Life will quantitatively be easier for lots of people now. And yet? Still hard.

Der. Rude and insensitive.

Nah, dude, you're fine. I totally get what you're saying, and you're right.

And yeesh, lisah, that's awful.

Oh my god, lisah. The whole thing is so awful and murky. I didn't know you knew him, I'm so sorry.

This is the story [link] Not a lot of info to go on.

This city sometimes....

Double crown appointment at 1. I swam hopped up on a pot of coffee and sudafed (my stupid mild congestion this summer leads to sneezing, which is something I'd like to avoid when they are carving up my teeth with sharp things,) have acquired bananas and tossed them into the freezer, ate a bowl of yogurt and blueberries and am hoping that will hold me until I'm able to eat again today. Fun times.
