msbelle, I know the empty house feeling really well. All I can say is keep the TV on or have music playing. The quiet is no good.
I wish you the strength and peace necessary to get through this.
Whoa. Good myth.

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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Oh msbelle, I'm sorry today didn't go as well as you would have liked.
I wish that things for kids weren't always fraught. I wish that there were a way to snap and make everything better. But unfortunately it's a lot of long and shitty work.
Sigh.
On my end of the world, today has been a high stress day. I've been accused (AGAIN!) of being part of a cabal and also I've been called a minion. By my coworkers.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
msbelle, I know the empty house feeling really well. All I can say is keep the TV on or have music playing. The quiet is no good.
As an extrovert who lives alone, I love the podcasts. Clark Howard, This American Life, The Nerdist, Tara Brach... anyone else got suggestions? I could always use more.
I just listened to the victory speech for Amendment One supporters. I literally feel nauseated now. So much hatred in God's name... seems like it's always been so. Devils quoting scripture for their own selfish purposes.
Time to go to bed, and let it go.

Stephen Fry! He gives you the impression that some humans are witty and humane.

Um. Girl on Guy with Aisha Tyler. Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! Star Talk by Neil deGrasse Tyson.
For Mother's Day I just bought my mom a bunch of mystery stuff, because nothing says "I love you!" like murder?
For dinner tonight I made linguine with red Swiss chard, broccolini, green peas, turkey kielbasa, garlic and Serrano pepper, and Alfredo sauce, and topped it with chopped heirloom tomato.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Girl on Guy with Aisha Tyler.
The one she did with H. Jon Benjamin was so incredibly funny.
Speaking of comedians, definitely get Marc Maron's WTF.

She's done some pretty great ones, and I still have a lot to get to. Baratunde Thurston. Gary Anthony Williams. Adam Reed. I never wanted her to stop talking to Tom Morello.
I'm currently listening to her conversation with Wayne Brady, and it's been pretty amazing so far.

Let it be noted for the record, Aisha went to High School with JZ.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Really? Aisha seems like a gal I'd like to hang with .
msbelle, Ginger, could you email me your addresses? I'm crafty girl when I have a little downtime, and although I can't make your lives better, I'd like to make and send a little memento or two to maybe give you a moment of zen or something.
