In a bright spot, today is the anniversary of the founding of the first Buffista board in 1997. Before my time, but I am so very grateful that it happened.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Yikes Plei, that is WAY too much crap for you to have to be the responsible adult in charge of taking care of everything. On top of your own grief to boot, which is not the ideal time to be taking on extra burdens.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
What Matt said
If I listed everything that's happened [. . .] no one would fucking believe it.
More and more I think the defining feature of our times is the sheer implausibility of everything. I’m so sorry that’s hitting you personally.

Good grief, Plei. That is so very way too fucking much. To say I'm so sorry you are dealing with it all is a mighty, mighty understatement. Sending you... everything.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
When it rains it fucking cyclones. Jeezis, Plei.
If I listed everything that's happened since the day the Barbie movie came out (AKA, the day my sister blew up her life), no one would fucking believe it. I'm just very tired.Is it wrong that I instantly mentally nicknamed your sister Barbenheimer? And that I want everyone else to do likewise? I mean, if it is wrong, just how wrong, really?
Sophia, whatever decision you make is the correct decision.

Is it wrong that I instantly mentally nicknamed your sister Barbenheimer? And that I want everyone else to do likewise? I mean, if it is wrong, just how wrong, really?
OMFG, that's perfect.
If that's wrong, I don't want to be right.

Thanks, Agnes!
EM just came by and we plowed through some paperwork, located my car registration folder and I gave her another box of books to sell at the used bookstore so I can free up more bookcase space for the books littering the floor in piles.
I'm off to Pilates despite my doctor's advice to avoid exercise for a week to keep from popping a stitch.
It's not really aerobic so there's no chance of a blood pressure spike and I'll just ask my teacher to focus on stuff where I don't have my head tipped down.

How can we save our little Plei
From Barbenheimer's TNT?

Hey, Bad Luck, you have the pointer stuck on Plei. Time to move it along to someone else—ideally a billionaire.
