She was a strong-minded and independent woman who volunteered an inordinate amount of her time to volunteering with Engineers without Borders and helping the communities in Haiti build and maintain water purifying systems.
While I am glad she is no longer suffering due to her illness, I am very sad that we will no longer be able to go out to dinner and visit; she was good company, good conversation, and a good person.
I'll miss you Carolyn. You were a gem.
Fuck, how did I miss this.
Seriously, my condolences.

Condolences from me too, CM. I hate it when things like that happen.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Death is a part of life and she had a good one.

At least there's some comfort to be found in that.
As for me: the couple in the flat above are having a blazing row. On the one hand, they ought to think themselves lucky - I'd give anything for that chance. Not because I want a row, but just the option to interact once more with my Princess. On the other, I wish they'd shut the fuck up when I'm trying to sleep.

Watching Season 2 of Shameless. Rough first week at the new job.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I have major GI stress and thought I was running a fever.
