Oh, flea. I thought for sure I'd seen her more recently than that on BlueSky, but no. I hope her dog and cat are okay.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Friends, I worried after not seeing Instagram updates from Sue O in some time and googled and found an obituary.
I’m so sad. Did we know this and I missed it? She died January 1.
Oh no! That breaks my heart.

A few years ago Sue asked me to pick up a rare Prefab Sprout LP that was coming out on Record Store Day. I mailed it to her and several months later she sent me a package of little treats and stickers. So sweet.
I remember how she applied for a job in Poland and got pretty deep into the interview process. She seemed restless and ready for a change.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh no!

I also thought I had seen something from her recently but my sense of what is “recent” is not good. So sad.

Oh, no, I'm so sad to hear about Sue.
I was lucky enough to meet her when Nilly was here. Loved seeing her FB posts with her gorgeous tree every Christmas and her sweet animals.
Thanks for letting us know, flea.
