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.

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

Very cool, Tep.

I would really like to go back to bed now. But I will not. Because I am a professional, dammit.

Really pretty, Tep! Although as soon as I saw it I realized I was subconsciously expecting something blue.

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

My sister had a talisiamen for Dad in her bouquet, I think a small photo. And I didn't know beforehand but Dad had a 'reserved' seat for the ceremony with a framed photograph of him and a little bouquet. It was really emotionally touching to me. He was there as much as life allowed.

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

Technical difficulties continue in the office. No phones.

Can anyone help with Excel? I was typing the name of the news site I was posting to into a cell yesterday, and I must have hit something because now it shows whatever I'm typing up in the top left of the document (next to something that says "fx") and no matter what I do, it won't put the text in the correct cell.

I'm a total novice with Excel, if that wasn't clear.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Try hitting shift F3.

ETA: fx is "insert function" and shift F3 is how you turn that on, so if that's what you hit maybe it will turn it back off.

Didn't work. I should add that I lied -- it's a Google Doc spreadsheet, not officially Excel.

Thank you, though!

Let me try that.

The font color was set to white, if anyone wants to laugh at me.

Where is everyone?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Where is everyone?

Around the corner.
