Glad you are fine, Gar!
That's as much as a win as we get sometimes, askye. You did okay.
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I do wish that Facebook had a "see only original posts from this person" setting.
Askye, that sounds like a win to me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Glad you're ok, Gar.
askye, what drives me nuts is especially about that latter phrase, in context it's talking about resisting temptation...I.e, God doesn't give you more temptation than you can handle. So, you should be able to manage the not sinning, is the implication. Not God doesn't give you more struggle or suffering than you can handle, he does that all the dang time, Stephen got stoned to death and that was perfectly ok with God, so when armchair evangelicals use it to say buck up, or to bemoan some petty annoyance in their lives, it's wholly eyerolly. Instead they should be using it to challenge their own inner lives and work on becoming better people, if they were paying attention to context,

That doesn't sound weird to me at all, Matt. Funerals and memorials are one of the few things that brings old friends back together. It's one of the gifts that comes with grief.
I think I'd have been more comfortable with it if I were grieving myself, but I barely knew the deceased and went mainly to show respect to my ex roomie and his sister. Ah well, we did apparently lighten his mood reminiscing about old times, so I'll count that as a win.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, Southwest is having a fare sale that I think ends tonight. Should I just buy a ticket to New Orleans??? I've been thinking about fall vacation, so why not? I've never been.

I totally wish FB had an "only original stuff from this person" button!! Also a "I don't want to re-see this in my newsfeed as 18 other people like or comment on it"

Have they just started threading comments? Annoying that I'm having to click through to comments on my own GD post.

GO JESSE! I saw the same sale, and if I had the dosh, I'd buy a ticket to NOLA so fast your head would swim.

DO THE THING, JESSE.
In other news, I am hitting a wall of tired. I have been enormously productive today already, so maybe I can coast for a few more hours before I pack it in.
