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

Very cool, Hil!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

THOTS!?!! I think I can deal with our PWP project if I don't have to deal with thots.

A PWP project would be a natural place for thots...

(How would you even gently let someone know that "thot" has a slang meaning that they PROBABLY don't want to bring up when talking about their thoughts?)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm not an Illinois resident anymore, but I can't imagine clemency for Blagojevich is going to be a... popular decision.

He's pretty much got The Felon Apprentice cast put together.

Pardoning Blagojevich is super weird. DeBartolo is almost as strange, but I can kinda see a reason for it. I guess he's just decided that any enemy of financial legality is his friend?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

It seems to be a real competition over which country has the worst dumpster fire for government. It is very depressing.

And sadly, very few people get that there are no winners in this.

I am still mad for my friend. Petting cats helps.

'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"

Wasn't it the Kentucky ex-governor who pardoned a couple hundred criminals on his way out the door?

Our wings are not tired.

If he spent his remaining days golfing and issuing pardons that would be safest. Alas, Mitch is going to use the next few months to cram through as many right wing judges as possible.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

In order to feel like a functional adult today I wrote the list of things to do in my phone and I'm checking them one by one. It's after 15:00 and I checked out 6 items, but grants, two were "getting up" and "call dad".

"Getting up" is a pretty important thing, Shir! 6 possible things before 3 pm is pretty darn good.

Happy birthday to the lovely Beverly! I hope your day is filled with love and joy.

Shir, absolutely include things like getting up and eating in your list. When there is so much to be done it is easy to forget how much you really do.
