There were also, you know, the threats to commit suicide he gave to his friends and family.

Also also, he wasn't hanging so much as dangling -- if he'd straightened his legs, he wouldn't have died.

I am confused by some of the reactions I've seen from people who think that the ruling of suicide is obviously a coverup. Because it reads like, "It's obvious that all these goverment officials are conspiring to hide the fact that there are lunatics out there who hate and distrust anyone who works for the government." Which is a little too recursive for me.

It looks like mac will be spending both Thursday AND Friday night with his uncle. What should I do after work on Friday? All I am coming up with is dinner and maybe a movie. Maybe go to a place I've also wanted to or try to get back to maybe a last visit at a favorite? Movie seems kinda lame, and I could watch one at home and get all the alone, chill out benefit without the money.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Color me skeptical on the finding of suicide. But I can't go along with

"It's obvious that all these goverment officials are conspiring to hide the fact that there are lunatics out there who hate and distrust anyone who works for the government."

The lunatics make themselves so obvious that any cover-up wouldn't stand a chance.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think going to the actual movies is better because there are no distractions. I wish I could go with you!! (But I would be up here Friday night regardless...)

honestly the only distractions in my own house at this point would be food.

Frank, would you redact my address in your quote? Thanks.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Maybe a spa appointment of some sort? Something relaxing and all about you. I like a massage,myself, but I have friends who swear by a pedicure.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jesse, your profile address is now a BIG LIE. FYI.

Spent too much of last night fretting about one particular feature of the solution we're designing. It looks like it won't be a problem, but I know it's just coincidentally not a problem, if that turns out to be true. I'm still having the developers prove it to me before I can rest easily. I'm just pretending it's the end user they're proving it for.

Some people say yes too easily.

Don't you get a charge off the cinema experience? Or is it just a hassle?
