I'm sorry, Scrappy. Best of luck to your mom.
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So sorry, Scrappy. I'll be keeping your mom in my thoughts.

Scrappy, I'm wishing your mom a good quality run at this. I'm sorry the news isn't better.
I just lost a chunk of tooth (old filling?) on one of the teeth I need to have crowned. Which was going to be in like January. I'm hoping for a temp fix, because cutting the recovery that close to my trip is just not that workable (nevermind I've maxed out my dental insurance this year, so it would be ALL OoP.UHG.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, Scrappy. So sorry to hear that.

amych did me a total solid once and came over for dinner with me and the kids (aged 8 months and 3) while mr. flea was out of town once, and it was soooo helpful.
psst, I think that was me? Hey, this must mean I'm on Team Amy! SWEET.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm rereading Anne of Windy Poplars, and just got to this sentence:
She just loves church work and would be perfectly happy attending Ladies' Aids and Missionary Societies, planning for church suppers and Welcome socials, not to speak of exulting proudly in being the possessor of the finest wandering-jew in town.
The finest what? I tried wikipedia, and the only definition of "wandering jew" that makes any sense there is the plant, but I'm not sure that the plant would have been grown in Canada in the late 1800s, and anyway, it doesn't make too much sense at the end of a sentence about church stuff.

I think it would have. Anyway, I don't see that so much as a list of church stuff but more a list of genteelish lady stuff, among which vaguely competitive gardening would fit right in.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My immediate thought was the plant. My grandmother had them
