Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh, Strix. Love and strength to all of you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds terrible, Strix. I'm sorry. (But nursing homes can be OK! And it's just a huge relief knowing they are safe and taken care of.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Hugs for Strix-that seems so hard.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Also Captain America was created before the US entered WWII and it was a big deal. The men who created Captain America were Jewish (although I don't think that was public knowledge at the time) so having a new comic book character debut punching Hitler when not all Americans were on board with "Hitler is bad" was a big deal.

I think it was pretty well known at the time that most comics writers and artists were Jewish. At least, other Jewish people knew -- not sure if everyone else would have bothered to ask about it. I mean, Superman came to America from a foreign place, changed his name, tried to fit in and hide his true identity -- Jewish readers knew what that was about.

I wanted him to stay around forever, but he's already gone.

Oh Strix! I so totally understand. I went through this with my mom. My heart goes out to you and your family.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm sorry, Strix. I hope this move eases the stress on your family and that he finds some comfort there.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, Strix, it's so awful. We went through it with my mom too. The nursing home really is the right call, even if it doesn't always feel that way. I'm so sorry!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Strix that is so hard! And there is no good way of dealing with it.

belated congrats to NoiseDesign!

I'm sorry, Strix. How hard for all of you.
