Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

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
And the downside to the ludicrous decision to call applesauce an ultra-processed food is that, if I'm comparing apple(sauce) to oranges, and fucking applesauce is a Big Bad Ultraprocessed Food, then fuck it; I'm going to get a sausage and egg McMuffin instead, because it's ultra-processed, too, and if they're both evil, then I'm getting the one that is the best breakfast sandwich ever (voted on by: me), and not just apple ground into a paste.A friend of my mom's High School priest told the kids that French Kissing is a Cardinal Sin! so, having been necking for years, they all went ahead and fucked.
My rescue dog was in a horde and is pretty much anorexic and agoraphobic. He's improved more than I ever dreamt, but also continues to find novel ways to be weird. Being 7.5 pounds (up from 6!) and toothless, however, he's pretty easy to manage.
Wonderful job news, smonster!

Congratulations, Smonster! That’s awesome!
Something weird is happening in the universe. A guy has flirted with me in public for the second time this month. This is roughly the equivalent of the number of men who have flirted with me in my entire life up until this point.

In completely frivolous news, the sitcom Ghosts is my new happy place. That show just tickles me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And I. Got. The. Job.
Fantastic! I think this is going to be such a good change for you.
I have adulted!
I did a MFing Wire Transfer to pay off the venue!
(I got flummoxed briefly in exactly the same way I did the last time I did this. I cut and pasted the account number and routing number of the recipient from their email and my credit union said "These are not legitimate numbers!" But then I realized when I cut and pasted I accidentally picked up an extra blank space and that was the issue.)
And I also got them to raise the daily debit amount on my card so I can pay off the caterer.
Also, BiL Lukas has been connected with the AV Production team and the Livestream is all ready to go.
I will share a link as soon as I have one, but like the Funeral, it will be YouTube live and then the video will live on that channel so anybody can watch it later if they prefer.
It's a four hour event but the first hour will be people arriving and eating, so I don't think we'll be getting to the storytelling until 1pm PST (5/18). But I'll ask Lukas to turn the camera on the crowd and maybe people can just go up to the camera and wave to the viewers at home.
Also, (I'll put this in announcements too) there are some people who won't be in attendance or don't feel comfortable speaking publicly who have given me their stories about Jacqueline to read.
So I invite anybody who isn't coming to send me a story that they want to share. Something in the 2 to 5 paragraph range would be ideal.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Whoo, smonster! That is wonderful news.
