Thank you so much Beverly.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Allyson, please share as much or as little as you need to here and with those around you. That is a difficult to carry alone. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thrive to spite them
Allyson, if you need to talk about things so it will help you, that's not being an attention whore or making it all about you. It's what you need and we're here for you.
I understand if you don't want to discuss things that you consider private but please talk to someone.

Allyson, here's a Wired article on saving your iPhone texts: [link]
It's two years old, so I'd suggest having Kristen verify that it's all good still, but it sounds like backing them up and exporting them is pretty easy.
Of all the various thoughts I've been having since Monday night, the one I keep looping back to is worrying about you and how you're holding up, because I know your last year has been beyond rough. So, yeah, my email is always open, too.

It doesn't matter how long or how often you've been here. Once a Buffista, always a Buffista, and this is the place that Buffistas can dump things they can't anywhere else.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Allyson, we all wish we could help or could lessen your burden somehow. I can't imagine how rough this is on you and Kristen and Polgara and Burrell.

This just showed up in my FB feed and made me think of Allyson:
be softer with you.
you are a breathing thing.
a memory to someone.
a home to a life.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh Allyson. I can't imagine the horror of that. Much love to you.
Strix=Erin. Check! Howdy Erin! It's been so long I can't even remember who is who from the names I recognize. I will get there.
Happy birthday msbelle! You share a birthday with my mom and my daughter's best friend.
