Calli that sounds nice, taking your time to decide where to land and spending time with your sister! I do wish my sister lived closer, though at least these days it’s a direct flight rather than a connection.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Apparently bathroom signs on campus are being changed to say "Biological Men" and "Biological Women," based on a new Ohio law.
Who is paying for this bit of state sponsored bullying?
Looks like some students went the simpler route
Excellent. That would be my inclination as well.

We’ve done that a lot since I moved, and I’m enjoying it.
Nice!
I went to a bridal shower today and decided two glasses of prosecco would be tasty -- which they were -- and now I'm lying in bed about to take a nice, long nap, because... two glasses of prosecco? Really, Jen? As if.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gary has left for the Builders' Show this morning. I went up to the RTC and took Mr. S out for the afternoon. It went well, even if he decided to return to the unit earlier than I had planned. Of course, there was a shopping trip to Target where instead of the $X limit he had stated, I ended up spending $X+20. Sigh...(no wonder he was happy- I bought stuff for him)

I'm so sorry to hear the bad news about Shir's dad. Love and support to you, Shir!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Since assisted living has a lot of healthcare workers, we have a LOT of Haitians on staff, some of whom are surely losing their protected status, not to mention the children of same or the ones who have relatives who came over, et cetera et cetera.
Is there any way to suggest to Canada that they create an expedited refugee process for (at least some) of these people? Because health care worker shortages are a thing, there, too, and the ones America are trying to kick out are squeaky clean and vetted. They even speak French!

Sending love and hope for comfort to Shir and her loved ones. I'm so sorry for your loss.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Nilly, thank you for letting us know. You and Shir have both been in my thoughts a lot, especially through this last horrible week, and I wish there was not this loss for her on top of everything.
May his memory be a blessing.

Same here. My folks did naturalize (they're sort of regretting that, but they were down here and wanted a say in the government), but after I was born.
