Thanks, dcp. Received.
Thanks, everyone. When the revolution comes, we're putting the insurance companies up against the wall, yeah?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Damn straight we are.

Our wings are not tired.
Without a doubt. Banks are next up.

An old friend of my mom's always said, "Whenever you can take money from a bank or insurance company, it's not stealing."

First things first:
Cindy, tons and tons and tons of ~ma for you and your family. I'm sorry you're going through this. msbelle, I'm sorry that Mac is not communicating.
Also, happy belated birthdays and anniversaries.
Has anyone heard from Shir (or Nilly)? I don't think Shir has posted in over a week. The most recent Natter post I see from her is on May 11th, but I'm not on FB and haven't checked other threads.
Thank you. We're... umm, fine? (for some values of fine). Nilly, her kids and her husband are in a safe-ish area. I'm in a bit less safe-ish area, but still an area that is much safer than others (I just sleep in clothing that will allow me to take shelter in the stairwell with other neighbors, if needed. And I'm alert and listening for sirens. And cancelling plans to stay as safe as possible). Nilly and I both have family and friends that are in much more dangerous areas and we are worried about them. I think that seeing all this happening and being able to do so very little about it is the worst part. I do what I can (among other things, I publicly declared that my apartment and the empty room in it are open to anyone who need to get away from a more violent area for a few days), but ceasefire depends on things and people that are out of my control. There's so much mending that needs to be done here, in all sorts of ways. The good news is that there is enough work for anyone who wants to do something to help in some way. The bad news is that it's heartbreaking and beyond frustrating to wait and see the destruction that is being done in our name, knowing that this helps nothing and no one.

I'm so worry that things are so terrible, Shir. I understand the out of control feeling so much. Know you and yours are in my thoughts every day.

Thank you for checking in, Shir. Constantly thinking about you both, your families, and everyone there, really.
