We have a cat that has to be in the middle of whatever I'm doing, and purrs like a Mack truck when I pick her up to move her out of the way. Just to move her out of the way.

Jim picks her up, makes much of her and generally worships the ground she walks on - squirm, kick and bitch up a storm.

So I give that a go.

Little twit luuuurves me even more. I give up.

Ever had a cat walk through an open CPU case while you were putting in a network card? Right between the motherboard and the fan. Tail tickling the power cables and the ribbon cables to the hard drives.

Good thing I seat everything securely. That was the 486 and it just begs for one more reason not to work.

The cat was sent out of the room -

This is going to sound harsh - likely it is - heard about the Jakarta Marriott bombing.

In Indonesia. Very Muslim Indonesia. Targeting American interests? Well, maybe.

So far, all the victims have been very Muslim Indonesians.

This crap makes as much sense as the Watts Riots did. Targeting non-black folks? Just about all of the people killed were black, the businesses destroyed and homes ruined were owned by black people.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Makes as much sense as boycotting French restaurants in San Bernardino.

Those poor folks. I hope they find their Timothy McVey.

Well Donna, you've decided the world needs a new community...what the fuck are you going to call it?

..

I sure as hell am not going to name it "Young Widows Support Group2" like that Yahoo thing I got volunteered for....

No, I want biting gallows humor without copping out for goth. I don't expect a huge amount of traffic on it, but what I do hope for is to make a place where it's okay to vent with some complexity without squicking everyone out.

And not limit it to spouses. We're talking about passings nobody will acknowledge...that you never hear about. They didn't happen to somebody else - we saw it. We were there. Like it or no.

Just a place where you don't feel so gawdamn freakish. What the hell do you call such a thing?

Support group, my ass. I got your Posey riiiiiight here, baby.

Such a witty, intelligent, talented writer. Oh pfui. I gotta sleep on it. Or something.
