You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm sorry, Matt. It's good that he had family there for him.

I'm so sorry, Matt.

Matt, I'm sorry for your loss. Love to you and yours.

What is even happening?

I read this post from flea, this morning:

I've been trying to build a fannish community for myself elsewhere, and while I've made one close friend and have several friendly acquaintances whom I like, mostly the process has just made me appreciate the Buffistas more than ever. The fact that this happened? And we're like this? So many of us? Wow.

...and nodded along with it.

I read it tonight again, when Zenkitty quoted it.

The next post was Jessica's:

I think you can put down mulch whenever, but gardening when it's mid-40s is miserable, so.

I know Jess was actually talking about gardening but was still chewing over what flea said, and I think I mostly mulched at other websites, but here I gardened.

Cindy, whereas one of the other websites I read for the comments uses "gardening" as a euphemism for sex. So I read "gardening in the mid-40s" as a whole other thing also!

Woo hoo. That's too funny, meara.

I came back to be clearer than I was in the earlier post. I wasn't paying so much attention to the "when it's mid-40s is miserable, so..." part of the discussion.

I saw the flea quote, and then the "you can put down mulch whenever, but gardening..." and that brought me back to what flea said about this place and you people.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha! I'm not doing much "gardening" in my mid-40s, either...

Matt, I am so sorry. My condolences.

So sorry to hear about your cousin, Matt.

Ann, that's a ferret.

My condolences, Matt and family.
