Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Our wings are not tired.

Let me take care of the things that will burn the house down, make it flood, or make it hideous to neighbors

Legit plan! Great that you can reduce your work schedule to focus more on this.

Happy belated, Cass! Figured you could always use some good wishes.

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 Karl! I'm so glad you're safe at home. What a terrifying thing to have happen!

Karl. I’m so glad you’re home and I hope that you make a quick recovery.

What they said.ETA: Lisah, got your card in the mail. I'm glad I was in a position to be generous, and, yes, it's like paying tribute to one of my favorite fandoms.

That which does not kill you should RUN

I just cleared out 900-ish unread messages in my inbox. This feels better than drugs!

I mean, my experience with drugs is pretty limited, but I stand by my statement anyway.

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

I don’t think I believe you. ISTR some pretty glowing reviews of painkillers when you totally needed them that I cannot imagine anything related to email matching.

Oh, yeah, the morphine was pretty sweet. Okay, cleaning out 900 unread emails is better than most drugs except morphine.
