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.
Of course, I need every possible supply. I can't decide if it's more ridiculous to buy a litter box, food, etc., at the supermarket before I go see the cat, or just buy it all at PetSmart where she is living. I'll take a cab home with her either way, so I kind of think I'll just get everything at the PetSmart.
Yay kitty!
You guys, in the last week (literally the last 7 days), FOUR people in my life have had someone close to them die. And it's weird because these are important people in my life, but I didn't know the people who died, so *I'm* not grieving, exactly, but trying to provide support and hold their grief. It's weird and hard.
One friend's 20-something son died of a heroin overdose last week; our BFFs' neighbor and good friend died in a motorcycle accident a few days ago; and last night Tim's nephew's GF's mother (who nephew and GF were living with) died unexpectedly.
It's a lot. What the hell?
Oh man, that is a lot. You're a good friend for wanting to provide support.
Maybe they'll give you a discount Jesse.
That really sucks, Steph.
That is a lot, Tep. Weird and hard sounds right. Take care of yourself, too. Just because you are not grieving doesn't mean you can spend all your energy taking care of those that are.
Buying at PetSmart sounds sensible, Jesse.
I didn't attend my 25th high school reunion last weekend, and people are posting pictures, including of people I hadn't seen or thought of since high school, and it's simultaneously kind of nice and kind of traumatizing. While I wouln't mind having a firmer ass and being a blonde again, there is NO amount of money you could pay me to be a teenager again.
(Also, Jesse, did you happen to know a guy named Kossouth in college, by any chance? We're the same year, right, college '94? He remains possibly the best looking person I have ever known in real life.)
YAY Ireland! The marriage equality referendum passed.
So great.
I shall have to have a Guinness at some point this weekend.
so *I'm* not grieving
You grieve for your loved ones being in pain. That's a lot of pain.
Yay Ireland!
You grieve for your loved ones being in pain. That's a lot of pain.
Nephew's GF's mother is a really hard one (not that there's any hierarchy going on; just different circumstances) -- her high school graduation is *tomorrow.* My heart just breaks for her.
