You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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

Oh Brenda, I am so sorry. I hope the treatments prove more than moderately aggressive and kick the cancer's ass.

Given cancer, this is, I keep reminding myself, a much less bad one than many. And his overall health is decent, given he's in his mid 70s, so.

Also, I am so fucking glad he's got the VA. We should all be so lucky.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh Brenda, I am so sorry. I hope the treatments prove more than moderately aggressive and kick the cancer's ass.

What Lee said.

I'm sorry.

And here I was coming to report that I think it is hilarious that I still park like I'm driving the sentra.

I am laughable parking my car. Except for parallel, that I can squeeze it in pretty perfectly most times. But just a general spot and I clearly give myself between six inches to a foot more in the front than I need. Parking Mom's Prius is even funnier. Because that's about a foot shorter than my car. I just kinda float it in the middle of a spot.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Fuck cancer!

And here is wishing lots of zits for those little muggers.

That's rough, brenda. May his treatment be completely effective!

I parallel park at home. Given the rear windshield is about 6" from the end of my car now, where before it was at least 2',even KNOWING that, the gap I leave is funny. And the front? It isn't that much shorter, but I cannot see the end and I'm not used to it. So my almost-tiniest-car on the block swims where I think it can barely fit. I'm smaller than a prius...

My street is absurdly wide, and one way, so while I parallel park, I'm super sloppy anymore about how far from the curb I am. You can be 18" out and nobody bats an eye.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You wanna read about a weird neurological disorder? Cotard's Syndrome makes you feel like you're dead. Ambulatory or whatever, but still dead. The last guy diagnosed with it is responding to treatment, but the PET scans did reveal brain malfunctions--a section of it was functioning more typical for someone in a coma.

Entirely entirely unrelated, who is gonna wear this as a dress, and what are they going to wear it with?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That dress doesn't seem so crazy to me -- you wear it with nothing -- but $52? Yeah, no.

Nightgown or bathing suit cover. Either way, not $52.
