That's one of the things I like about vacationing outside the U.S. or on a cruise ship. I'd have to make an effort to keep up, and I have better things to do.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

Ann, that's a ferret.

I had to pop back in briefly to share that, my good friends, the ones who took care of Bartleby for 14 days when I was so sick in '10, called me right after I initiated the media fast.
"Hey, you wanna get married today?"
We have had their marriage license with my name on it for 2 years, but they just didn't want to do it until DOMA was struck down.
So, they called at 11:30 and we had the wedding at 6:30. 30 people, all the trimmings and the most heartfelt service I have ever done. Here is a brief snippet.
It is unprecedented that I should do two weddings in two days.
What strikes me as most significant about that is, yesterday, the couple I wed has always had the right and opportunity to marry on a whim.
In fact, they did just that.
I’m sure it never crossed their minds to question the gift of that certainty. They took it totally for granted.
The couple that had the right, cared very little about it.
And you, who have been denied for so long, care so much.
We, as a community who loves you, want you to know that we could not, and will not ever take for granted our commitment to your commitment.
I tried so hard not to cry. Epicfail.
After 19 years of being together, I am so happy for them.
Right after I recited the above, a small thunder clap sounded. J said to the crowd of 30, "That's Scalia screaming."
Everyone laughed.
The instant I proclaimed, "I now pronounce you husbands for life" and ENORMOUS thunderclap sounded.
I whispered, "That's God applauding."

Oh, bonny, that is wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing that with us.

I agree.

Aww man, I have goosebumps. I have been so emotional all day. You'd think it would not matter in my life, but it does matter. I am so grateful to finally see this day.

Bonny, thanks for posting that. Damn allergies.

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.
Wonderful!

Thrive to spite them
I can't sleep and I'm having anxiety and my feet have been swelling.
I think it's a side effect of the Risperidone I'm taking but I called my shrink's office (he's out of the country) and the doctor on call (according to the nurse) said it was probably heat related, but if I was worried or it got worse to check back by Friday.
I had it again today, where my feet feel tight and stretched out and it was almost painful. Plus I've been having pins and needles feelings a lot (like since I started the medication).
I'm calling tomorrow to talk to the nurse again but it's freaking me out.
