Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oh Teppy, I'm so sorry. I know he'll be ok, but its so hard until he is!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

my boss’s last day is this Friday, do I don’t know what I’m going back to.

I can sympathize! My department has had so many sudden departures over the part month the org chart basically looks like swiss cheese. (And the gossip mill is running at FULL capacity...nobody knows the full story so the conspiracy theories are WILD)

Go Tim's doctors! Staple that lung!

Our wings are not tired.

And Brendon was released. He was in the last bunch for a trial he didn't want to hear, but didn't make the cut. Phew.

Continuing to send vibes Tim's way.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The surgeon said the procedure went very well (she used the phrase "easy peasy"), and now we're just waiting for Tim to be brought back up to the hospital room.

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

Easy peasy is the number one phrase I want to hear from a surgeon!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
