Belated Happy Birthday!

Because I think we need wondrous things in our lives, I decided to donate to help purchase JRR Tolkien’s home to help create a Tolkien Centre:

Happy birthday! Hope the coming year is less hectic than the last one.

So, it’s been a rough few days. My mom is in hospital with congestive heart failure, exacerbated by COPD, atrial fibrillation, and Parkinson’s. It’s been one step forward and two steps back for the past 4 days, but at least I’m allowed to see her for a couple of hours each day.
So, if I’m a bit more absent, or crankier than usual, I apologize in advance.- Show previous comments 9 more

Aw man, I’m sorry to hear this is happening for you.
-
Ah fuck. I know I’m not around as much as I should be, but you got a lot of folks here as well standing at your side. Hopefully soon it’ll be all steps forward soon enough, but stay strong. As has been said, your mother is lucky to have you at her side in these times.

Moms being sick is so hard, hope he’s getting ALL the good ones!

Happy Birthday (belated!)

Well. Five days without Internet thanks to Isaias, and I’m counting myself lucky because I still had power throughout. My neighborhood is mostly private houses and was largely in the dark from Tuesday until about 11:15pm last night. And ConEd is getting an increase this year…

The world shrinks to an alarming size without the internet!

Glad to hear that you’re safe and sound, power loss or not.

Thank you all, and for the good wishes
It’s a work in progress. I mean, I accidentally turned up at work yesterday. The universally recognised protocol is to call in sick, but then I haven’t been well…
to you all.
Love you @BronxWench and @Melrick

I want to wish a very Happy Birthday to the amazing Melrick! If it were possible, I’d send you a Key Lime pie from JG Melon’s, but you’ll have to settle for a virtual hug.

It was 27 years ago today that the daft bugger and I decided to do that marriage thing. I have a sneaky feeling it’s working out.

Went to the 50th Anniversary Tour show for Jethro Tull last night. Ian Anderson’s voice is rough, but gods, that flute of his… and he can still play on one leg!

Sadly, I can sympathise. This has been a nightmare 2 months for me and it’s not getting any better. Now we have to find out why mum has lost vision in her right eye. Here’s hoping things improve for the both of us!

It’s sad. But burning down and being rebuilt is kind of what cathedrals do. Notre Dame will rise again.

We will build it up, and we will come back home… home again.

So, there is something very wrong with the universe when my 24-year old niece is undergoing chemo for Ewing’s sarcoma.
Have I ever mentioned how much I fucking hate cancer?- Show previous comments 5 more
-
I’m so sorry to hear that. Cancer is just… beyond words. Fingers crossed everything works out well for her.
-
sorry to hear that, hope the cemo goes well!
-
She’s doing round 5 now. She needed a transfusion first, but she’s at least eating which makes my sister feel better. Next week, more testing: PET-MRI and bloods, and the week after that is round 6 of chemo. It’s aggressive treatment for a very aggressive cancer, and she’s staying focused on what matters to her...preparing for an art show.
I love my amazing, talented, brave niece.

So, who here got sidelined in the government shutdown?
::raises hand::- Show previous comments 8 more
-
Honestly, it’s just that sort of pure blind luck I seem to have. I’d worked for the government before, they were recruiting, they made puppy eyes, and I said okay. I went through all the paperwork, and vetting, and clearances (I’m shockingly clearance-worthy). I was sworn in on October 29, and I’m now having a lovely little unpaid vacation.
In truth, I work because I’m bored otherwise. I’m not dependent on that paycheck, so I’m fine. BUT there are far too many other people who do depend on that paycheck, and this was simply wrong. I feel worse for the people who have to work without pay. My hat is off to Senator Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, however. Once again, as she did in the last shutdown, she is donating her salary during the shutdown to a Nevada charity. I admire the gesture.
I’m not going to dip my toes into the actual politics. I’m fairly moderate, and view both the far left and far right with the same sort of wary distaste generally reserved for things best not discussed in the drawing room. I will say that if one does not have a grasp of economics, or even the patience to read a one-page precis, one should not attempt to govern. Governing from the gut tends to fail miserably, which one knows if one reads their history.

I swear, that thing is shut down more than it’s up, and even when it is running, it never feels like it’s running ‘well’.
