Healing ~ma for your dad, lisah.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
~ma for your dad, lisah. And congrats for your mom.
Tom, ~ma for getting through the day.

Hassled you how?
I've been mentally checked out of work all week. The bakery is so slow, and my boss is so frantic about it, and I am so tired of washing the same dishes and serving the same croissants and making the same coffee, I've been in my head for days.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
And someone in the office just hassled me about St. Patrick's Day. Seriously? Is this grade school all over again?
At my old office there was always one woman who would tee-hee and threaten to pinch me for not wearing green on St. Patrick's Day. She stopped that shit (at least with me) when I referred to it as assault. (Hey, I'm humorless when it comes to getting all up in my personal space and causing pain to me when I fucking told you to cut that shit out.)
I look terrible in green, so I own one item of green clothing (and that's only because of my love of Arrow). Shit, man, my family is Irish. I'm not wearing green today.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Hassled you how?
Stood at my office door and told me I had no excuses for not wearing green (I tried "I get dressed in the dark" and "I'm French"). At that point, I kind of fake-laughed and put my earphones back in, and he kind of reluctantly moved on.
If anyone tries to touch me, I will need bail money.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Health~ma for your dad, lisah, and congrats to your mom!
Seems like there's always one person in an office with a grade-school sense of humor.

Seriously, Dana? Also, Steph! Wow.
Healthy vibes to your dad, lisah.
Soothing vibes (or get-through-it vibes) to Scola.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I hope you get some recharge time at some point today, Tom.
Lisa, all the let everything be OK~ma in the world to your dad and the rest of your family. Make sure you take care of yourself too.
Dana and Steph, that is totally not on. I'd be waving my middle fingers in the air like I just don't care.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was trying to remember why I don't have any memories of pinching or any grief at all about St. Pat's even from when I was in grade school, and then I remembered -- we got the day off when I was in grade school! Evacuation Day! (I am wearing green today, but it's sort of a coincidence.)
lisah, I'm glad your mom will have people at the award thing, even if not you and your dad.

If someone asks where my green is, I'm going to say "In my DNA."
