I'm sorry Maria, how awful for everyone. And I'm sorry too that you can't even post it in a more public forum because you're right, too easy for someone to say something thoughtlessly cruel.

Ok. Off to the airport for a flight to Kansas. Leaving now to hopefully bypass some rush hour traffic, and maybe have time for a quick massage??

I'm so sorry, Maria. How terrible for your family. I hope your aunt finds some peace.

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

I'm so sorry for your aunt and her family, Maria. That's really awful.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm so sorry, Maria. How hard for his family, left thinking if they had only tried harder, when the odds are there was nothing they could do.

I just drove away from a drive through for the first time in ... ever? It was pouring rain and something was wrong with the intercom. I waited and waited, and when they finally asked for my order, they didn't have what I wanted. I tried to order something else, but I couldn't tell if they got the order or not. I decided to go on to the window, but when I went around the corner there were four cars ahead of me, and I could not even. Now I feel guilty.

Then I went somewhere else where I thought the cashier said "$7.02." I gave her 7.02 and she gave me 4 pennies back. I was too baffled to process this, so I took my food and went on. The actual bill was for $7.06.

I'm so confused.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am so sorry, Maria. That is just horrible, all the way around.

This needed a separate post but,

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Weird, Ginger. I guess she thought you gave her 2 nickels instead of two pennies?

Bailed on the massage. Which was only ever a vague idea in my head, to a plan or appointment or anything, so "bailed" may not be the right word. Not getting one, in any case.

I'm so glad my department has a "dammit doll" I can throttle when people are being stupid.

So sorry, Maria. That's just awful.

Off to the airport for a flight to Kansas.

Cool. I'm in Kansas right now!
