Thanks, everyone. I'm still in that sort of hollowed-out space of grief and madness, but that anger has been inside me for a long, long time.
I cannot begin to thank you enough for giving me a safe place to both grieve and be furious.
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.

Karl, I'm so sorry for your loss, and the grief and anger and all of it. Be here whenever you want to, we're always glad to see your pixels.
I'm so glad you knew to come here, Karl.
Karl, all my sympathies to you for everything you're going though right now.
A never-fail grad gift -- look up the town where they're going to college, and find what pizza joints are the best, and that deliver to the dorms, and buy a gift certificate. Or to a grocery store or Target or whatever store they have (my tiny college town STILL only has a Wal-Mart.)
Lee, my relationship with appropriateness (or propriety) has never been the strongest, so I couldn't possibly comment on that bit.
But I will say that I have always found you both deeply funny and deeply humane -- which is rarer than it should be.
Lee, your sister is a poopyhead.
Starbucks gift cards, twin sheets (especially if she currently has a larger bed), get college mailing address and at month 1 and then month 2 send care packages, flash drives, bed bath & beyond gift card.

I am so glad we can do this for each other, and I wish we could through in some giant hugs too. I'm so sorry for what you are going through, Karl.
I'm sorry about your father, Karl. I know what it's like to lose a father when the only thing left to mourn is what might have been.
Okay, I'm just going to nod and point--Karl, What Ginger Said.
And Lee, What msbelle said, both opinion, and suggestion.
I'm so glad you knew to come here, Karl.
The best invisible friends in the world are right here. Where else would I go in the event of my own personal apocalypso?
