The Humane Society picked up a lost pig in town. Her jail name is “Patsy Swine.”

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Cass, I hope she’s okay. We’ve danced that dance as well.
Me too.
Joe did voluntarily commit himself today. That’s a huge relief.
That's huge! I hope he is able to finally able to quit meth. It's such a disaster of a drug.

Spoilage ensued! Went to Zazie with her and EM (who has known Crystal since she was 14). Then this evening went to see "Spirited Away" on the big screen with Matilda, Crystal (who has never seen any Miyazaki) and Jes (who's never seen Miyazaki on the big screen).
Pretty fuckin' good Day 1.

Cashmere, I hope and pray that your brother will be able to get the help he needs, both for him as well as for you and all your family.
Cass, hopes and prayers for you and your sister and her daughter, and all your family, as well.
msbelle, good luck on the job front! They'll be lucky to get you.
David, how wonderful that you could show your niece such a good time, and in such a good company, too!
And Timelies.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
It's another day of dragging my feet in the mud and fog of war, but if there's one thing that brings me hope and an anchor now is Jewish/Israeli and Arab/Palestinian partnerships.
Not everything is terrible here, even if it sometimes feels like it.
Also, I'm really really trying to ignore the "let's transfer/kill them all! (doesn't matter which side)" that's coming from people that aren't directly involved in this war, but wow, they're loud and bad at geography and international law and oh, yes, also basic human decency.

Our wings are not tired.
I always used to be an early-morning poster, but got out of the habit. Now I have the incentive to go back to my old ways to wish timelies to Nilly and Shir. It is so good to see your posts and a reminder that there is some normalcy there and it is not all close-minded leaders focused on destruction.
In Laura Land I am busy trying to work and pack. Had a good layer of frost on my car this morning, actually, it is still there at 11! Time for me to flee toward warmth.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
It's turned downright cold here. I listen to the weather report, so I pulled out some wool sweaters yesterday evening to be prepared. Wore a coat, wool cardigan over a turtleneck and, for the first time this season, gloves. They were warning people to bring in plants in the expectation of a hard freeze.

I can take the change in weather, but hate the days getting shorter.

Ugh Laura I hear that. You should not be in frost land at this point, Florida or bust! But the late sunrises are killer for me, I hate getting up in the dark, but now the sun rises so late that I have to. Booooooo.
Shir, I’m glad you’re finding some moments of goodness in this mess. It feels so un-solvable from here, I can’t imagine what it’s like there. But I am so glad you and Nilly are able to give us a tiny glimpse.
