Oh, Laura, that's so awful. The pain, fear, upheaval and just plain cruelty of every damn thing they are doing, top to bottom, is so fucking contemptible.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

On an utterly separate note...
Happy Birthday, Laura! Wishing you a wonderful year ahead, and I hope you enjoy the day today.

Our wings are not tired.
Thank you, Jen! It's lovely so far. My first morning texts were from old friends I haven't seen in years.

On a more amusing note for being 71 my first few birthday emails were from Silver Sneakers, XL Physical Therapy, and 2 dermatology offices. Better was Broward County Library's greeting. I didn't know they knew my birthday.

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

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
The status changes for Haitians in the US are horrible. And you know they wouldn’t be doing this if they were refugees from, say, Sweden.
Even with all that, I hope you have a happy birthday, Laura.
Today I’m getting ready to drive back to NC for a work thing this coming week. As I have a new cat sitter from my sister’s soon-to-be former conservative church, I’ve de-paganed and de-porned things a bit. My previous cat sitters did not care. Some of them asked for recommendations. But needs must.
Tomorrow I’ll be going with my sister to check out New Baltimore. It’s not on a Great Lake, but it’s on a reasonably good lake, so I’m going to give it a shot. The surprisingly high geek quotient in Port Huron gives it an edge, though. (Plus, Lake Huron’s right there. It’s in the name and everything.)

Happy birthday Laura!!
Calli are you planning to move again or just checking out places for fun?

Happy Birthday Laura!
The task I have set for myself today is painting birdhouses and hanging them from the edge of my carport. In the hope that they'll be more attractive to birds than building a nest in the overhead lights and pooping on my car.
