"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Tim's niece is getting married in May, in a huge 3-day Indian wedding extravaganza.

Whooo boy. I didn't think I'd ever see my large Catholic family outdone in a wedding, but when my cousin married an Indian man, I learned my lesson. So much food. Constant food. Dancing, then more food. If you like Indian food, you're in for a good time.

Indian wedding sounds like lots of fun!

I would come for that weekend for JZ.

Today is slow and I really don’t want to be doing work. I have a few things I should be doing but…the last couple days were busy with catching up and now I’m not AS busy and yuck.

Teppy I hope a couple weeks on meds will make a big difference!! Good luck.

My parents were terrible about sorting through their things but pretty good about agreeing to move when they needed (their old place was all one level, so not a problem, but none of us lived near them anymore).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am in for the memorial and informal F2F, May 18 looks clear on my calendar.

This is ridiculous, but I think I have been thinking about how to assemble a sort of kerfuffley basket of treats (muffaletta-esque sandwich(es), gimlet ingredients, bagels, maybe something else if it occurs to me (guacamole, I suppose, is kind of called for) so I'm gonna call dibs on bringing that to the informal F2F

I hope the antipsychotics do there job, Tep! Nice to have a simple answer, for sure, assuming they do.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

kerfuffley basket of treats

Bonus points if you can find Mallomars in May.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Some folks have mentioned their intent to fly in for her memorial, it seems like Saturday (May 18th) would be the optimal date to accommodate travelers. Maybe people coming in on Thurs or Fri for an informal Buffista F2F kinda thing.

Thanks, Hec. Once there's a date I plan to be there, unless geo political events and actions of 2-5 armies will prevent me from doing this.

Continued ~ma to Pix and family. I am holding you all in my heart.

Oh, also to say that Nilly is doing OK: the new academic year finally started (it was delayed for almost two months), so she's swamped.

I wish I could do that, but I don't think so.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

The weekend would be a good idea, I think.

Heh! My hair's not that long currently but probably will be by summer's end. I wish I could sing his high harmonies and play bass as well.

It's the face and everything! The hair, while not your current style, adds to it, but that's not why I kept making the squinty o.0 face at it!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S has been having tantrums at night several nights recently. I don’t know what is triggering them, but I’m tired of it all.

The biggest wedding I’ve ever been to, the bride was from a Lebanese Catholic family in Toledo. There were so many cousins, but her father said it was such a small wedding compared to his generation, when 700 people was normal (she had about 300.)
