Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

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

How's your back, Dana?

My deepest condolences to all who have lost a pet recently. I had to put Lucky the cat down on Friday. Her CKD was being managed well, but she had two neurological episodes in less than 24 hours. They did bloodwork, and found that she was severely anemic, calling it life-threatening. No indication for the cause, and they said it probably wouldn't be treatable either. Rather than let her quality of life decline any further, we made the decision to let her go. I miss her every damned day.

Ann, that's a ferret.

All condolences, Maria.

Damn that sucks about BC. Even if it's not unexpected.

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

Sorry about Lucky, Maria.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My back is not miraculously better, but I think it's in pretty good shape considering yesterday's shenanigans, which involved me doing more lifting of luggage than I would have liked.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Fuck cancer. My sympathies to his friends and family. Never met him in real life.(Of course, I could say that about most of you. Such is life.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I met Omnis once, and the in person man was as warm and smart and open as all his posts were.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am so sorry to hear the news about o_a. I am especially thinking of Drew and Kristin and Sean and others who were close to him in real life, and also those of you like Shir who were especially close online. I think of him as my particular tribe-- a Buffista who is also a theatre artist.

It is always sudden.

'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"

I'm so very sorry. 2017 is working out to be as awful as I feared, in public but also in very personal and sorrowful ways.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I met omnis in Seattle at the F2F, and I'm so glad I did. He's definitely someone I would have liked to have spent more time with if he lived closer.
