{{{Pix}}} I had you on my mind yesterday, among others, knowing that you were from the area and might know those more immediately devastated.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Because books.
Pix, I was thinking of you yesterday, too. I'm so sorry.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Pix, I'm glad your friend and her family are okay, but it's such a horrible situation all the way around.

The status is NOT quo.
Thank you, but please no brackets for me. It feels disingenuous given what others lost.

Oh, god, Pix, I'm so sorry. It's all so awful.
I went climbing last night, then watched a couple of episodes of Fringe (am I supposed to care about Peter? I really don't). Now I'm going to walk the dog and do some cleaning, and then take my mother out for some Christmas shopping. And then maybe take her & my dad to lunch at Trader Vic's.
I had the jeweler fix up one of her old rings: it was missing an amethyst and a bunch of seed pearls. Turns out it was her grandmother's, a woman who all we know about her is her married name. And that she and her husband died young, leaving her daughter to be raised by her sister. It's cool to have a physical connection going that far back.

{{{{{Pix}}}}} You were one of the first people I thought about when I heard the news. Love and thoughts headed to your friend's friend. I'm so sorry. I am also disgusted by many of the reactions I saw on my FB list yesterday.
ETA: I posted before I saw you say no hugs, but I honestly want to hug all the teachers, parents, and kids I know right now.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Pix, I'm so sorry. My heart goes out to your friend and her colleagues. I can't even imagine the terrible impact of this on such a small, close-knit community. And, ugh, ND's niece and possibly the most ill-timed and ill-directed comment ever.

My niece just parrots all the right wing talking points. More than a little frustrating. Also she's afraid the "foreigner in the whitehouse" (Obama) will take aay her toys (guns).

Ugh. Pix and ND how aggravating.
