Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Natter 71: Someone is wrong on the Internet  

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.

Oh, Consuela. Just breathe.

I am so not in the right headspace for my annual review at work today. Fuckit is not the best attitude. Sigh. Off to work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Consuela, I don't know if you've been in touch with your local Alzheimer's Association, but they can be a great resource for getting referrals and figuring out "care solutions." [link]

not your mom's socks.

Am on a train. Jessica, I may be adjacent to you (sunset park, Clinton hill) tonight/tomorrow. After I go to this meeting and don't die. I hope the Internet can distract me today.

Consuela, you are in my thoughts - I wish you all the strength and a really good climb as soon as possible. .

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Severe Texas weather missed us, just lots of rain and loud skies. Scared dogs (we are dog-sitting an 80lb lab) and mac made for little sleep, but no tornado, so I will take it.

Consuela, I am so sorry life is piling up. It does sound like a nursing facility is what your mother needs and what your father needs her to be in.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Suela, that is just so stressful, I feel awful for you. I hope that things get better soon for you; it's been one thing after another.

Because books.

Oh, Consuela, that's hard. I'm so sorry this has been so stressful.

Have fun, Sox!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

What should I have for lunch today?

Oooh, I could go to Popeye's.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Mmm, Popeye's. I haven't had that in a while. But I have an avocado and shrimp packed for lunch today, I think I'll stick with that.

Today I am planning to solve the How Do I Store The Other Half of the Avocado Problem by eating the whole damn thing.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Consuela, this sounds awful. Make sure you take care of yourself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would like Popeye's! I miss the one that used to be close to my parents' house.

My job just changed our slogan, and I'm all thrown off!
