To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Glanced at the video; Carter's there. They're seated in chronological order, so he and Rosalyn are the farthest from 45 (lucky them).

Lucky everyone; there might have been a matter-antimatter reaction if they got too close.

Thanks, Jesse! I guess if we're averaging less 1.5 a decade it's going to always seem old-fashioned, even if we say next time it will be different. And we don't tend to say next time it will be different. So there you go.

Our wings are not tired.

I haven't seen today's much, but in the past when Melania was seated between her husband and President Obama she was all smiles warmth with Obama and the usual ice with the Donald. Yes, I enjoy that.

I noticed that, as they walked to their seats, she was actually holding his hand ... maybe to keep him from wandering off?

Or he's holding hers, so she can be the lightning rod to God's reaction to That Man being in a church.

I need some talking down from the ledge. I cannot find the key to my safe which means I cannot get more checks which means I cannot go pay my property taxes today - This has resulted in me having a complete crying breakdown for the last 30 minutes.

I cannot call my parents because they would freak the fuck out about me being a disaster and would worry for weeks.

I cannot call the brother because he is thousands of miles away and will just feel helpless, but also want to fix things and there is no fix, none immediate anyway.

And I do not know why I cannot just keep track of things and not have so much crap that there are bagillions of stupid little boxes and baskets and junk drawers and crap-filled things that I could look from now until dawn and still have more places to look. why can;t I just fucking manage my fairly simple life and not be a disasterous mess.

also? where might my keys be.

{{{msbelle}}} Could you go get a money order or a counter check at your bank so you can pay your taxes and worry about your keys later?

Whether that is possible or not, you will be okay. You will get the taxes paid eventually, you will find the keys or apply some leverage to the safe or something. It's not the best this could go but it's truly not a disaster.

Also, I don't know where the keys to my fire-proof safe are either. So there's some important stuff in there like my passport that I can't really get to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What -t said. If you can, get yourself to stop with the "everything is a disaster" part. This might be a problem, but you can fix it, and not everything is a disaster, I promise.

On the other hand, sometimes you just need to freak out for a while and that helps.

Thing I just said that I swear makes sense in context "82765, that sounds like chocolate. So maybe if it doesn't say that it's Merlot"
