Tons of ~ma for Kara and all who love her. I'm so sorry.
My great-uncle has always been kind to me, as has his wife. So, I'll suck it up and go to the wake tomorrow and deal with people who seem to feel that I am less than family simply because my father had the bad luck of dying young. My one uncle on my father's side usually at least tries to make an effort to stay in touch with me and let me know when these things happen, and the fact that he didn't call really hurts right now.
Thanks, WS. I left my uncle a voicemail, not angry or accusing. Just a "please call me when you get the chance".
Sorry for your loss, SJ.
Tons of ~ma going out to Kara and all that love her.
Ginger, how are you doing over there?
Connie, what's on the agenda today?
Omnis, I tried plenty of fish recently...
Oh my. Um. Really? A penis pic? Something tells me he's not the only guy to do that, judging by some of the profiles I've read. C'mon guys, it's not that type of dating site.
rolls eyes at stupidity of some males.
Another nibble on POF. She clicked the "wants to meet" button on my profile. So I responded with a note. She replied "best message I have ever received!" And nothing else. Mind you, I typically try to ask a couple questions in the note, ya know, to start a conversation. Did she respond to any questions? No. I dunno. I guess I should be thankful I'm not getting penis pictures, at least.
Omnis, good luck finding a good fish. One who knows how to use words.
Connie, what's on the agenda today?
Today I am at work. My mental state is much better when I'm out and about.
And a Freschetta frozen thin crust pizza isn't too bad after being microwaved. (Our old building had an actual oven.)
I sent a note to One Word Gal, asking if she is all caught up on sleep. Figuring, well, maybe she was hungover yesterday, or had a rough week, or something. So I asked if she was all caught up on sleep. Again, a one word answer. "Yes". @@ OK, maybe she's not a good writer. Maybe she's dyslexic or something. She is Asian ethnicity, maybe she was born elsewhere, and English is a second language. So I sent a note asking if she wants to meet for a cup of tea or a phone call. Online dating is not easy. As much as I'm bitching, this is far easier for me than going to a bar or some such. No skills there. I guess I just don't understand, if you are interested in dating, sign up on a dating site, then why so absent/quiet/whatever? Eh, I guess I'm not always logical myself.
omnis, some people I know who are terse to the point of rudeness in written communications are delightfully and playfully verbose in person. I wonder if that's the case, here. I hope all goes well.
I'm better this afternoon. I'm going to see if they can offer me stronger pain medication or perhaps a medically induced coma. I have pretty decent pain tolerance, but this is like the worst fever-induced bone and joint aches multiplied by a hundred.
Gentle hugs and soothing thoughts, Ginger.
