That's bullshit, shrift. I'm sorry.
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It would be the Bay Area's gain if it works that way, but I hope sanity prevails.

I was really trying to give Taylor Swift the benefit of the doubt, and she did get off a couple zingers and held onto her dignity well enough, but she seemed to be struggling to keep up.
To be fair, John Cleese was one of the people she was trying to keep up with, which I'm not sure is easy for anybody.

She may have gotten bees.
Good luck for some kind of good outcome, shrift.

If I relocate to the Bay Area, at least I'll be able to watch most of my hockey games online on NHL GameCenter because they'll almost all be out of market? And it would allow me to put a lot of distance between me and Sales.
There are a huge number of cons I could list, but I don't need to feed my anxiety.

My cousin works in Ottawa and posted (on Facebook) a photo taken from her office of the shooting location at the War Memorial. It's directly in front of her office. (She seems to be calm and fine, but, whoa!)
(Edit, I guess she was not entirely calm because she misused an English word in her post - she's fully bilingual but French is her nursery tongue, and she called the man shot "a military" which is the direct translation from the french - a very unusual mistake from her.)

Scary.
It looks like one gunman is down, but they don't know if he was acting alone.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Ages ago we had a group occupy the town hall and take a number of people hostage. (This was in the days before cell phones, so there was no contact with any of the people who worked in the building.) A woman I worked with was very concerned, because her brother was a city employee. Afterwards, it turned out he'd spent the entire time hiding under his desk. She was very relieved.

Ugh so embarrassing -- I just started crying in my meeting with my boss. Especially embarrassing because (as I said to her) it's 90% hormones! As I did not say to her, I have been this overwhelmed for weeks and did not cry, even to my mother!
