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

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah, I could see that.

Nice results, Tom, and good on you for the adulting.
Gud, what -t said 100%. I know down to the center of my being that you are such a good human, and if beaming that in your direction helps, consider it constant.

Yes, if it helps. If it wouldn't, nobody is so perfect they don't lose it under pressure.

All of this.
Back on the diet bandwagon after a week of cruising. I wasn't really bad, but not good either. DH is starting to feel some issues with his RA, so doing hard antiinflammatory Mediterranean-type stuff. I did my meal plan yesterday and did a big curbside pickup at Whole Foods this morning. Tonight is chicken with a topping that involves red bell peppers, garlic, and pecans. Served over some of the Whole Foods mixed grains. It looks and smells good. Nice to be back in my kitchen cooking stuff.

Happy birthday, Karl!
Gud, what everyone said.
Greetings from Seattle!
Oh, crud! I failed to actually schedule anything with Shir when she's in Seattle!
Fear not! For there are almost no plans as of now for Seattle and I'll browse Google to see what's around. Remember how I had no time to plan anything between work and war? That is still the case. So I'll be working tomorrow, but feel free to ping me (number in profile) and we'll plan something!

I’m home from ltc’s softball game. TCG hasn’t been able to make it to the Monday games because of his work schedule. Meanwhile, this entire group of parents see a disabled mom and an 8 year old struggling with the equipment and chairs and such and not a single one offers to help.

I have a Shir in my house! My dog is pleased. He approves of additional people to pet him.

What the hell is wrong with people!?! Seriously, I will never understand. I do have to say I was relieved with how helpful people were on the cruise for my sisters. They were both in scooters and people let us go in elevators first, made way for us going in and out of shows. Generally, most people were decent humans.
I have a Shir in my house!
Yay! May there be many giggles, and doggo snuggles.

That's crappy, sj. I mean, like, you'd think they'd want to model how to be an engaged human for their kids, if nothing else! I mean, sure, everyone just wants to get home, but... damn. I guess they don't know how to do it, so they don't model it.
I bitch about other humans all the time, but I don't actually go through the world with blinders on most of the time. I give off the "don't bother me" vibe, but I still try to be generally helpful if I see something. Or, at least, that's what I aspire to.
