Liese, so sorry. That sucks.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Wishing all the best for Tickybox. I hope they work it out soon and it's easily addressed.

Best to Tickybox and fam!
Remember my friend from last Sunday, whom I waited with for a tow? She just had a total shitstorm of a week, culminating in her dog being euthanized on Friday... and her Mom unexpectedly dying yesterday.

Separately. Very interesting read.

I knew this guy in high school. I mean this actual guy, not "guys like this". Not well, but our circles intersected. Boggling as it is to think about now, at that time and place "anti-racist skinheads" was a thing, or we thought it was, and it was painful and confusing to see how that (bizarre, wrong-headed) notion morphed into the real thing for some while others held to the radical lefty punk side of things.
ETA to be clear I was never part of this particular scene, more the gothy/punk side. But certainly I knew and hung out with s number of the "anti-racist skins". I have a feeling that book will be a hard read, though I'm already quite aware of how profoundly foolish it all was.

Wow, brenda.
Oh, Theo, your poor friend!
I am trying to decide if I can actually try to take apart the pipes under my sink to unclog my disposal. I have successfully drained the water out, but not gotten to the point where the clog would be. I wonder if I actually have right tools....

Also, it's currently pouring, but the neighbors seem to think it will stop by late afternoon, so we're still having a block party? Which means I should figure out what to contribute. I may just make a salad because I still have too many greens, but I bet I'm not alone in that...
