Ugh, JZ. I'm so sorry. ltc had that this year, and you're right not to go near Matilda before seeing your Mom. The adults didn't end up with the rash, but we all had terrible joint pain for several days.
Tell me more good stuff about me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Oh, no! I'm sorry, JZ and Matilda.

Our wings are not tired.
{{Matilda and family}} I am so sorry that she has had this summer experience, but also grateful that you have a village to pinch hit for you. Hip~ma for your mom and wishes for quick recovery.
sarameg, this zenlike transformation is a very big thing! It will serve you well in the years to come. Also, super impressive. Knowing when you need to run away is also very important.
Karl, I'm sorry. My dog is a big scary looking baby. I know she wouldn't hurt anyone, but I always ask if I should put her outside if someone comes to the house that may be spooked by her. Even being a lifetime owner of large dogs I get spooked if a big one comes charging at me!
The honeymooners have arrived in Otter Lake. DH and I are in final frantic prep mode to head that way ourselves. The list, she is long.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no! Poor Matilda and family, and yay for EM! Good luck to your mom, too, JZ.
That is awesome, sara.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, man, JZ that's a lot of not what anyone wants.
I'm sorry that happened to you, Karl.

Ugh, sorry JZ. I hope Matilda recovers quickly.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Everyone is a poor noodle and I hurt for all of them!
Poor everyone but especially Matilda!
My parents walk their dog off leash in Rock Creek Park (which is against the posted rules), but they didn't start doing it until she was well-trained enough to come and sit by her human whenever they pass another person on the trail. Unless you're a deer or a squirrel she won't chase or jump on you.
(She only jumps up on people who are trying to give my Mom a hug, because she has a Thing about that. We're not sure if she sees it as "This is a fun game let me play too!" or "My human is being attacked, I will defend her by putting my paws on the intruder's shoulders!")

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Poor Matilda.
Boo crappy dog owners.
Guess who woke up with either food poisoning or a stomach bug? So that was a fun couple of minutes of wondering if I needed to pass out. Fortunately I didn't, and I feel mostly okay now.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Poor Matilda!
Vacation is good, but I haven't been on vacation with SiL #1 in 10 years, and I forgot that she never, EVER shuts the fuck up. She will not stop talking. Ever. Like, if someone is clearly reading a book, she sits down and launches into a monologue anyway. About NOTHING. I wanted to stab her by halfway through Day 2. So I keep hiding out in our bedroom just to get some peace and quiet, which makes me feel antisocial, but I really don't want to stab her when it's only Wednesday.

Very wise, it's always best to stab people on a Friday.
