Such good news, smonster!!

Flea I’m sure they wouldn’t say that if you were a man (I often feel that way). And I also was reading your post wondering if you wrote to Ask A Manager! Such a shame that your job isn’t feeling like the long term thing you’d hoped for. Boo. And I hear you on the “reconciliation” meeting feeling as bad as the original issues. Bleh.

This is pretty much what I wanted to say. Grr. Argh.

DebetEsse! I'm sorry Arthur's first days have been so exciting, I hope you are all home and just doing all that regular eating and breathing and family bonding stuff without having to think about it much soon.

Holistic cats for my friends, anvils for my enemies (and your enemies are my enemies in this case at least)

Sorry to hear about your aunt, askye.

we’re joining the Buffy subkrewe of the annual geek parade.

! That's so great! Also, awwww for the rest of the post

There's a blood drive at work right now and among the offered snacks while you are recovering and demonstrating that you will not pass out was a little box of fruit punch, so I grabbed one of those.

I'll send the pictures I have via Messenger.

Scola photos are awesome, and Tom, for some reason, I'm getting 403s on a lot of those links.

Reader, I think I just might marry him.

My heart is bursting with squeeeee for you smonster. I am so, so glad you have found such a wonderful partner.

David, that Matilda song put my heart back together. Bless.

I'm sitting on Laura's bench. Yes, it's nobody's business what anyone's relationship to gravity is, and I'm doing my best to squash the schadenfreude I so desperately want to indulge in. If the process right now is for that information to be public, then no one defendant deserves privacy over another.

Did I mention that my half brother is in the 20th year of a 30 year sentence for racketeering? It was news to me! Though not particularly surprising, given everything else. I guess the best part is that it did not involve violence or trafficking, so he's got that going for him. BUT, he doesn't have the option to hide his information, so why should the orange one?

I wonder if he'd say any of those things if I dropped a cartoon anvil on his head.

No, but he might wave a little cartoon flag with them.

Note to self: Cancel order for Patriarchy-smashing mallet from Acme.

He often looks like a particularly chubby Vizzini.

Considering how many of the newborns in my family looked like Winston Churchill, take the win. May the home monitoring come about soon, because home is a very fine place for you and Arthur to be.

Somebody gave me hard time on twitter because I said I fight lack of access with my twin sledgehammers, Freedom and Responsibility. I "shouldn't even joke about that" apparently. Why not? Being serious hasn't worked!

David, emailing you what I can find while on this machine. First batch sent, second batch waiting for the interminable Zenfolio load to finish, OMG.
