Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Doesn't France have a fairly restrictive policy about allowing Muslim refugees to immigrate? If so, that may have been a factor.
I had planned to make it a Magic Mike kind of night, but I've been dealing with various gastrointestinal upset all day and am currently enjoying moderate heartburn, so volcano fajitas, dancing, and loud noise are right out. I'll show my support for the place another night when my stomach is up to it.
Uggghhhhh. A FB friend is posting hate on the Syrian refuges. I can't even. I think I'll be on an unfollowing spree over the next few days.
God, the Paris news is so awful.

I saw a great quote on Twitter: the people who caused this horror are the ones the Syrian refugees are running away from.
That is what I posted on FB that sparked the response. Her husband posted, deleted, posted, deleted, and then the wife posted. The first post was pure hate, the second slightly less hate, and the wife's post still has me too mad to respond. I know this family fairly well and they have gotten more and more conservative over the last few years.
Oh, that's awful, Suzi. Argh.
I can't bring myself to read much about this. It's too horrible.
Went hunting for my gloves this morning. Kinda blustery out.
Ugh. My boss's daughter is living and working in Paris.
I think I won't text my boss, and just wait 'til Monday to see if she's ok.
Timelies all!
The news from Paris is horrible. No words.
I'm going to a baby shower for a friend this afternoon.
Oh god, trying REALLY hard to not respond to my right-wing racist homophobic aunt on FB. She just posted a thing about how badly the Irish were treated (which is true) and finished up with (I am not making this up) "The blacks have NOTHING on us!" ("Us" = our family is part Irish.)
O_o THE HELL YOU SAY, WOMAN?
I'ma have to hide her on my feed or else I am going to lose my shit on her SO BAD.
WOOOOOOT! After some drama last night of stupid website failure and phone agent not being able to help, this morning it finally got worked out, and I am GOING TO CHILE! My friend Megan and I are going to go to the Atacama desert and to Santiago in March!
