tommy: excellent. (re: sons being mathematical geniuses.)
askye - so sorry about your kitty.
GISHWHES has my brain. . . but I believe I may be done.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And since I've been gone for so long, I have to come back with a bunch of wrong:

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Mathematical geniuses is good.
I'm sorry you and Monica are taking a break. Is it likely this is a temporary thing from being overwhelmed? I hope so.

Burrell, thank you for the groupon PSA about Donors Choose! I should go buy one or two so I could finish funding my project. The groupon link is here: [link]
Kat, what is your Donors Choose currently?
Cass, my current one is here: [link] Starting next monday they are going to match all donations that are made not through a coupon or certificate. But I still have $750 to go and I'm struggling.
(Was it you reading Stiff? Mom brought her library copy for me to read while she was here for last week. I thanked her for braving the $1 fine and I finished it last night just about her bedtime. Perfect.)
I love that book! I just started teaching it again today. FUN!

When she suffers anxiety she needs to withdraw from people to some extent. So we're taking a break from each other for a while.
Yikes Tommy.

I hope so too. Anyway, that's what she's thinking.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I hope so, tommy -- too-much-people can be a powerful force.
And Monica, if you're reading along, don't feel like you ever need to speak up while you're feeling overwhelmed or anxious, but do know that invisible friends are thinking of you!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm thinking of MK, sara.
Kat, have you ever read a book called Ball Don't Lie?

Donor Choose. That's on the list of things I forgot.
My SIL and an old friend are doing good at distracting me. SIL is sending gift lists for the boys, friend is spamming me with realty links (she's looking to buy) down in Knoxville and soliciting opinions. In which she is indulging my musings that are all over the place. But distraction from having to carry MK up the stairs and tuck him in.

Anyway, that's what she's thinking.
I have really felt like this and it's not forever. But it's overwhelming when it happens, so I really do understand.
Kat, better to Groupon for Donors Choose or simply just give to yours or ... ??? Can I Groupon $10 for $50 and then give it to yours? Help me help kids?
