In separate post: happy birthday, Hil! And happy anniversary, sj!
(I have nothing to add other than that I started nickname the cat with local terror organizations' branches names).
Mal: If anyone gets nosy, just, you know... shoot 'em. Zoe: Shoot 'em? Mal: Politely.

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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The cat knows what it did.

Happiness and condolences as appropriate all. Shir, that's funny. Sometimes we call my cat "Captain Obvious" because when I need help at night or early in the morning, she waits till *after* Mom starts helping to meow in our faces or get underfoot instead of, say, going for help beforehand, Lassie-style,which at times, might be huge.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm sorry, Matt.
JAR was in the TV adaptation of that, wasn't he?
I forgot there was one, but yes!

I’m so sorry for your loss, Matt.

Thanks everyone. I know it's silly, but with two cancer deaths one after another and Mom's recurrence all happening close together it feels more like a vendetta than just statistics.

Congrats, amych! Are you planning to move, or is that just sort of in your back pocket in case TFG actually wins in '24?

For now it's 99% a back pocket option (and a good bit of if-I-win-the-lottery-I-don't-actually-play dreaming), but if/when the time came that we decided to move, it opens up, well, all of Europe. And it somehow feels right to close that loop.

Wow, amych! ETA: that seems like a big thing in several ways!
