I'm thinking of MK, sara.
Kat, have you ever read a book called Ball Don't Lie?
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

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

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
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?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Groupon deal is Chase matching 4-to-1, so you spend $10 and then get $50 to give whereever.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
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!
Indeed. And many good thoughts for you, tommyrot.
Somebody remind me about the Groupon on Wednesday, aka payday?

I'm stupid tired. Can I do the Chase Groupon and then donate it? Because if there's a bigger bang for my buck, I am there. But mostly I want to help.

If I get what you're asking, what you are buying from Groupon is the donation, like in a gift card (no actual card). So then you donate it to any project you want.

So I just sent my first DMCA takedown notice. I feel weird, like I'm oppressing someone.

Suela, your work pisses me off.
Oy. Me too. Although I do have a bunch of things to do that will move forward my projects. Which is actually something I'm concerned about--if I leave, I suspect most of my projects will just be abandoned. They will give most of the work to My Nemesis, who will alienate all the connections I've made in other organizations (she lies to people), and it will all fall apart.
It won't be my fault, but I will feel bad about the shit that won't get done.
ION, I'm watching Primeval, which is just ridiculous.

What for, Holli?
Also, I forgot to say Congratulations--I loved your story!
