Oh, Maria, no! Words cannot say how sorry I am.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh, Maria. I'm so very sorry. Much love and peace to you.

Maria, you and your family are in my thoughts.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Thank you all so much.

I said it in the other thread, but we love you and are thinking about you. Do whatever you need to right now, or don't do anything at all. You don't need to respond to us, or you can be on here as much as you want. We're just here for you.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Everything Liese just said.
We love you, sweetie, and you are in our thoughts.

Also, so there's another conversation going here in case you want to think about something else...
I did put on my makeup again AND a dress and the pretty glass necklace the SO gave me. Well, and my strappy Doc Martens boots, because hey, a girl has her limits, plus it was going to snow. And we went out to our local steakhouse and had filet mignon and lentil stew and coconut shrimp and creme brulee. It was a lovely pre-Valentines dinner.

NOM. (Well, except possibly for the lentil stew. Why waste the space when there's coconut shrimp and creme brulee to be had?)
Me, I just caught up with Downton Abbey, and I'm just laughing at it. It's become so frelling absurd, it's just too much.

Well, it came with the meal. It was pretty delicious for lentil stew, though. But not vegetarian. It was lentils with ham. And then steak wrapped in bacon. It was a pretty good night for insidious pork products of all kinds. (There were only berries in the creme brulee.)
I'm spoiled for Downton Abbey and it is absurd, but I still enjoy it. It's its own little melodrama.
