Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My reaction was "VENDETTA! Salt in their coffee!!! Install Windows ME on their computer!!!"

Heh. Well, one is my boss and the other is in Sales and works remotely - I see her maybe three or four times a year and she typically brings donuts. So I will not be seeking vengeance.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I really wish Alan Rickman and David Bowie were not the exact same age as my mother.

Mine, too. (Also Donald Trump, who is just 1 week older than my mom.)

My mom has the kind of unearthly DNA that makes her look younger than her actual age, much like Bowie (she's second from the right in this picture, in the red glasses [well, the only person other than me who's wearing glasses]: [link] And she's the freaking Energizer Bunny (she retired last year and, after about a month, went and got another job because she was bored; now, in addition to that job, she's getting certified to teach yoga). So I generally forget her age until something like this happens.

Cancer don't give a shit about your age.

That's what the doctors say about my 94 yo mom. They say once she got into her 70s that meant she didn't get cancer and would probably live a long time.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I really wish Alan Rickman and David Bowie were not the exact same age as my mother.

Same here.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Alan Rickman was such a delight to watch. I remember that horrible Robin Hood movie with him the best thing in it - he was so GLEEFUL about being awful. He looked like he was really enjoying it (and I saw an article that he got together with some friends to rewrite the script, because it was too horrible to endure).

Truly Madly Deeply always leaves me crying throughout and for a good while after.

And did anyone else see An Awfully Big Adventure? good, if depressing.

And this turned up ... cheered me up a little.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sad about Alan Rickman. My daughter was weepy and we had to give her hugs and love before she went to school. So hard, she's lost her OTSnape.

After all this time? Always. OTSnape.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

The feels, Kat. The feels.

As if I wasn't weepy enough today, CJ is bouncing between the doctor's office and getting a CT and he isn't answering my texts right now. I think he has a cyst under his spinal surgery scar. He is supposed to start the Fire Academy next week, which is VERY physically grueling. If he has to have surgery for the cyst, he will have to defer, which will break his heart. His father used to get horrible cysts that needed lancing the majority of the time but have also gotten to the point of horrible infection requiring hospitalization and surgery.
