Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I can see why you were picked, jz, due to your combination of intelligence, powerful common sense and loving heart, but it has to be so hard on you.
ION, it looks like the DH has been laid off. They have told him he's furloughed and no new content is to be assigned, paid for or to go up on the site he edits for two weeks. Maaaaaaaybe they're thinking about starting the site back up in two weeks, but neither of us think that's likely. Why they just didn't shut the whole thing down now, instead of the two weeks thing, who knows.

The status is NOT quo.

Scrappy is, as always, wise.
Also, so sorry to hear your DH has joined the unemployed ranks, Scrappy. Lots of that going around right now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I already felt pretty convinced that this whole mortality business was bullshit, but now even more so. This is bullshit.
Absolutely.
I'm sorry to hear that, Scrappy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sorry, Scrappy.
Oh, boo, I just realized that my grocery order as delivered definitely didn't contain any matzo. I knew it was a longshot but I was hoping. Oh well, I have some matzo meal from last year or maybe the year before still...

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
it is, indeed, bullshit.
I'm sorry to see all my friends go through the trauma and hassle of declining parental health--especially all at the same time, and in the middle of an international health crisis. It's so hard at the best of times, when things are calm and you can visit them. This is just awful for everyone.
Which reminds me: I need to do my own paperwork!

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
It really does suck, JZ.
Scrappy, I'm sorry.
Can someone please get to sacrificing the virgin already? Trying to appease a Christian deity hasn't worked, so I'm ready to try the Greek and Roman ones.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Smash Anya's goddamn amulet already.

Last I was at the store, there was a ton of matzo, so I could mail some to you?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I don't know if I actually can, though--the whole thing is purely guesswork at this point, a thing that they think might work based on other things that have worked in the past for different conditions. I still want to do it, but there's no guarantee it'll help for this, and so far my doctor isn't responding to any query about it at all.
But you have antibodies and you believe in both science and helping others so the opportunity is there. Nothing is guaranteed but no one can work with antibodies until there are people who recover.
I already felt pretty convinced that this whole mortality business was bullshit, but now even more so.
It truly is. I'm sorry you are faced with it right now.
Be glad there is paperwork. That saved me when my Mom died in June. I mean, her Advanced Directive wasn't needed but her Living Will was a gift I can never thank her enough for leaving to me.
