Oh Maria, that is so hard. Hugs.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh Maria, how awful for everyone involved.
Goddamned idiots with guns.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Oh Maria, what an awful, awful mess. I hope your BF is holding up okay.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Maria, best wishes to you and your BF.

I didn't know Hubby in his EMT days, but he told me many stories. Strength to the BF and to you, Maria, as the one to hold him up.

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
Thanks, all. It just gets worse. The preliminary reports say a father shot his daughter, and then shot himself. Daughter was DOA when BF got on scene.
And the calls just keep coming in. He's had no downtime to process. My admiration of first responders continues to grow.
Because this is a small town, I'm almost guaranteed to know the individuals involved. People plain suck.

Eek, Maria.
Dana, mint kit Kats not good because not good, or because you didn't expect to be eating one? I think they sound good in theory...though I'm anxiously anticipating going to Canada in two weeks, when I will get to buy All the Coffee Crisp.
Also those window washers sound scary. That would drive me batshit from the noise/surprise, and also make me anxious about them falling off or something!

So sorry, Maria. Love and strength to you and your BF, and everyone involved.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Dana, mint kit Kats not good because not good, or because you didn't expect to be eating one?
Well, first I didn't expect them, but I also didn't think the mint flavor worked with the chocolate flavor.
The window washers were totally driving me batshit, but they have moved on, thank god. No one else on my team was in the office yet, so I couldn't go complain to anyone.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, how terrible, Maria! I'm so sorry.
