katbur2, I'm sorry to hear about your son. I'll keep y'all in my thoughts and prayers.
Also, I got the news today that my grandmother passed away at 2 o'clock this morning and her funeral is this weekend. I'm sad but at the same time I'm glad she wasn't in any pain.
Her not being in pain is a real blessing. Thinking of you and your family.

Sorry for your loss and glad that she was pain free.
Last night my poor wife's strep throat came back. She's off to the doctor's this morning. I feel awful leaving her with strep and an eighteen month old but she being super amazing and supportive. Maybe this should go in the Yay thread instead...
boo that instead of being at my favorite place in the world with some of my most favorite people, I am at the weirdest wedding/reception I've ever been to. ever. G was a groomsmen. they took 8000 pictures, including one of the bride and groom kissing with both sets of parents making out behind them. like, wet noisy making out. wtf. now we are at the reception... the groomsmen all have to sit at a table beside the bride and groom so I'm by myself with a couple of g's friends at a different table. that's alright. but the kicker? to get food your table has to correctly answer a trivia question about the bride and groom. one example? what are their pet names for each other? answer: honeysuckle and honeybee. I'm never eating.

update: everyone at my table had to do the chicken dance in order to get in line at the buffet. then we all got to learn how many babies the bride and groom want to have and who is more likely to deny the other one sex. (we previously learned that they will be having sex for the first time ever tonight.)
currently they are dancing to a song the bride requested that is special to them: "Get Low." is this real life?

I feel like I already know the answer to this question, but I'm going to ask anyway: Are they serving alcohol at this wedding? (Please surprise me and say yes.)

So one of the people with tangential authority over me and my work is wholly and, tragically, inadequate and unqualified for the job. Today this became fully realized in a final and irreversible way. The outcome was foreseeable and inevitable, but the process of arriving there was fraught with manipulation and lies to cover insecurity and fear. I'm sorry this sounds so cryptic, but it's sort of a sensitive topic. Suffice to say I was helpless as a dear colleague was taken away from me this after noon and it has affected me way more than I ever thought it would. I have always felt ethically and morally resolute in the work I do, despite its controversial nature, but today I am really questioning myself and my goals and my principles. It is actually very healthy, I think, and necessary, for anyone to really examine what, why, and how of the things they do, be it for work, pleasure, or otherwise. Now the kud is asleep and the dance party over (literally and figuratively) and this reflection is making me feel really shitty about what happened.

I'm sorry. Sounds like it was a tough situation. Hope you get through it and your co-worker moves on to better things and it works out for them. :hugs:
No one knows so I can't talk about it and i have to tell SOMEONE! This morning we pack up and leave for PA. About an hour in I call my mom to remind her to bring a few things for the family reunion. She says my dad was sleeping and ny brother should be home from work soon and they would be hitting the road. About 10 min later she calls me hysterical that my dad was cold and she couldn't wake him. We turn around to Iowa bc my dad has passed away. I can't even wrap my head around it. He wasn't a healthy man by any means but it is still killing me. Please send all your peaceful vibes bc i need them!

I am about to go on a fucking unfriending spree. I can't tell you how many of my local facebook "friends" have been sharing this photo. I have no words. Or no good words right now. GRRRRRRRRRRR
After the marathon bombing, I dropped nearly 100 people on Facebook.
It's nice to have a cleanse once in a while. There's a lot of backward and ignorant people out there, some you don't need to really be that friendly with. Civil, but not friendly.

I've seen a lot worse. I don't find much wrong with this post. We were just talking about this today, how there weren't riots or even really any negativity here like there has been other places. While everyone knows that racism is still a problem, for the most part everyone knows that cases like this are just a case of one insane/extreme person. This guy did this to start a race war but that is not going to happen down here. There is a group of contractors where I work that are from Charleston, most of them are black and the day after it happened, we just had normal conversations. It's not really tense, there's no anger and hatred. We're all hurt by what happened. We mourn and try to heal together, so I don't see what's wrong with that? It could be a lot worse.

How do you think your wonderful, peaceful South Carolina community would be handling this if the shooter was walking free and likely to stay that way, and the media was painting the victims as thugs and criminals, dummy?

There is a lot wrong with this. Animals. Hey current President, stay away. Don't get me started.

None of this is happening, so I can't say.

I'm not going to really defend that post. I wouldn't"share" it myself. There have been much better examples for people to share that show that people are coming together black and white, praying together, hurting and healing together. I think people are just proud of the way that's happening.
