You're doing a good thing, Sophia.
You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

Our wings are not tired.
Guys, I'm actually starting to get worried about this thing with N. Korea. It's like two petulant children with access to nuclear weapons without anyone checking them.
And both of the children really really want to wage war because it makes them look all macho and important to their peoples. Yes, I am really worried. (see also reading Swan Song, which may not help)
Sophia, thank you for texting your aunt. Good plan all round.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
That sounds good, Sophia.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
SO maybe the hospice in their rural community doesn't have a Hoyer, but there could be an option of hospice elsewhere, but they said no or didn't understand.
Who doesn't have a Hoyer?? (I realize I may have a slightly different perspective, having grown up in a home with a Hoyer lift...)
I just texted my aunt and let her know that a) I can help, b) I have access to experts at my work (and here/online) who can tell us what the options are and c) that if he has elected palliative care he SHOULD NOT BE IN PAIN.
That's wonderful and you are a good niece.

Well, I think for Kim it's all about preventing the West from pursuing regime change and dick swinging. There's not really any great outcome for him if he actually made an attack either nuclear or conventional.

As far as Trump goes... I dunno, the President says a lot of things. That's where we're at.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Maybe he'll just tweet a nuclear attack on North Korea and the military will ignore it like they did when he tweeted his transgender ban.

I would be more worried if the military seemed to be on That Man's side. I'm sure there are people there who think he's great, but the majority of the Powers That Be seem to be in "Keep distracting him while we keep anything dangerous out of his way" mode.

I'm doing a bunch of formatting cleanup that requires me to type the word "shift" over and over, and I'm just saying, shrift is going to find herself in this documentation somewhere.
