And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

JZ, at least the treatments available today may prolong survival until a time when there are more effective treatments available? Fingers all crossed for your little bro's chemo and procedures to work as well as possible.

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

That sounds pretty rough, JZ. I hope it helps.

Dammit, forgot to bring in my decaf coffee. Have a new cold brew set up to try but no coffee to brew.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Best wishes for your Baby Bro, JZ. Mucho strength to you and the BiL as you do your best to support him.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sending love and support, JZ. A good friend is 3 or 4 years out from that same treatment for multiple myeloma and is doing great. There's reason to hold onto hope.

In more meme/wth?! news, I am really hoping that my student's Kid Rock for US Senate sticker is ironic. Do college students do irony these days?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Do college students do irony these days?

I remember people saying that irony died on 9/11. I guess the irony-free generation is reaching college age now.

My nephew recently posted something about post-ironic art on Facebook, but I don't know if that applies to bumper stickers.

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

JZ, much love and strength to you and your brother.

-t, I hope this new/old job is more pleasant than your current one.

I have been negotiating contracts for a week with an agency. I am not used to government paying that much attention.
