Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Ugh, what a week. We lost a very dear family friend this week. He's been in bad health for a while, but always sudden, you know?
But also, my boss's son was in a terrible accident over the weekend. He was helping someone push a disabled car and they were hit by another driver. He's in ICU. And now I just found out that my coworker's father had a heart attack last night.
This can stop now.
Many, many sympathies to all who need them.
This can stop now.
This. so much this. Unbelievable quantities of this.
My deepest sympathies David & Brenda.
Aw, heck, Hec. I hope when I die, there is someone to speak of me so fondly. Also, 48 is too young.
I'm very sorry for your loss David. Also, fuck cancer.
Also hoping the world backs off Brenda (and any other Buffista who feels put upon).
Oh man, brenda! That is more than enough.
November seems to attract tragedies. Both of my inlaws died in November, then all this happening here. I wonder if it's a combination of the beginning of serious winter and the onset of holidays providing too many sources of stress on people playing a balancing act with their lives. I know the dark and the snow make me take a very deep mental breath before girding the existential loins.
I'm developing a very strong distrust of November.
I am generally not a fan of November and December, and my experience have validated that.
Having said that, it's a lot easier to deal with holiday bullshit when the weather is warm and sunny. Also, I haven't had much bullshit to deal with directly, so there's that. Yet.
