It is a most delightful day in Buffistaland as our birthday twins Pix and Maria celebrate today. Most excellent day for creating people! I hope you both are duly spoiled and pampered today, and always.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I'm so sorry, Gris, for your and your family's loss.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I’m so sorry, Gris

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, Gris, how upsetting. I'm sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh no Gris, I'm so sorry.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Gris, that's dreadful. I'm sorry.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Gris. What an awful, sudden shock. Hugs to all your family.

Hey. New board.
Thank you all. It still feels weird. Heart attack. He got his second vaccine shot just 2 days ago. Unlikely that it was related - he was 70 and not in the best health - but it hasn't totally been ruled out that the vaccine side effects may have been a factor, especially as he had not been feeling great since receiving it.
I hope it IS ruled out, and confidently so. He was a huge proponent of vaccination in a very conservative town, and if somehow his death became ammunition for anti-vaccination people, he would be horrified.

Best wishes on both fronts, Gris.

Oh dear, Gris. I do hope that it is ruled out, but the anti-vaxers will still point to that. I do know many who were quite sick after the second dose, but all said they would do it again. Wishes for comfort for you and yours.
