(Skipping to say happy holidays and Merry Christmas to those celebrating. Lots of love and ~ma, and may 2022 get the clue. And now I'm back to finish writing my thesis. Happy holidays!)
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Difficult morning. My mother and I have been estranged since I was a child, but I have sent her a dutiful Christmas card each year for the last few decades, and sometimes an email. Today is her 80th birthday. She has always resented "losing" her birthday to Christmas. I was going to grit my teeth and make an effort and send her a "Happy 80th Birthday!" email.
My Dad died last night. I got the call this morning at 5:00 a.m. He has had a variety of health problems over the past decade, but it's always sudden.
Somehow sending my mother an email saying, "Your ex-husband died last night! Happy Birthday!" seems wrong.
I'll be wrestling with that puzzle all day.

Oh, dcp! I am so sorry, both for the loss and the massive emotional quandaries. I'm thinking you may have to wait a few hours before composing that email.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm sorry, dcp.

I'm so sorry, dcp, for your loss and all the fraught emotions.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
{{{dcp}}} That is an exceptional challenge that you hardly need. I'm sorry for your loss.

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’m sorry about your dad, dcp. It is always sudden.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oi! [/Roy Kent] That doesn't seem fair at all, dcp! That's a bit much.
Pix, is ND going to be able to fly out? Looks like there are Omicron flight cancellations galore today.
