Shit, I'm sorry! That's terrible.

I'm sorry to hear that EOC. I know how intense family fights can get around care issues. I never did figure out how to deal well. Hang in there sir!
You can't get out backward.  You have to go forward to go back.. better press on! - Willie Wonka, PBUH

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

Great googly moogly, I left for 3 days and THIS happened?

Very sorry to hear about the troubles, Roger and EoC. Here's hoping for the best outcome.

Sorry to hear about your wife Roger, and that really sucks about your mom EoC, hope things get straightened out.

Well, we've narrowly avoided two fires tonight, and I've inducted, with great difficulty, the student who is the most likely contender to die in a fire either of the other two are likely to start (due to being on her phone throughout the whole fire safety talk).

Sorry to hear about you mom, EOC. It's always hard when folks get older and start needing help, and not everyone handles it well.

I don't watch Dr Who. Shut up. Anyway, why would a Whovian be frightened about water being found on Mars?

The Waters of Mars was one of David Tennant's final three stories. The first group of astronauts to settle on Mars consume water there that is home to a parasite which takes them over and they become water zombies. It ends badly.

Wait... They don't even boil the water first, or check it for contaminants?

Have I mentioned how much I hate writing resumes? I'd literally rather stick my dick in a bucket of bees than have to write another resume. :/

Especially when its a for a job that requires no special set of skillset other than having thumbs and being able to speak.

Jesus.

Roger, I hope your wife is OK.

EOC, I hope you find a way to get your mom the care that she needs.

You guys want some good news to balance things out?

Some of you already know this, but I'm gonna be a dad. 4 months along, all tests and signs so far point to a perfectly healthy baby. We'll find out the sex at the next ultrasound appointment. Due date is, of course, the ides of March. I thought I'd be more terrified but other than stressing about the standard new dad stuff I'm super excited. It's gonna bring my new "play with animals" career to a halt before it ever really got started because the pay scale doesn't pencil for my new financial needs, but that's OK because I'm setting aside some money for my TWIC and MMC and I'm not going back to the pot store after my current stash runs out. In a month or so when my system is clean I'll start the application process and hopefully be able to start shipping out again fairly soon after that. Gotta time things so I'll be ashore for the birth and immediate aftermath but we've both agreed that with a kid and her going back to school it's the best value to sacrifice ratio out of the available options, especially if I can start as a senior cook on one of the tanker fleets or offshore rigs. So new kid and a chance to go back to doing what I love for a few more years. I feel really positive about life for the first time in a while.

Congrats ECH! That's awesome.
We appear to be doomed by our DNA to repeat the same destructive behaviors our forebears have repeated for millenia. If anything our problem solving skills have actually diminished with the advent of technology & our ubiquitous modern conveniences. & yet despite our predisposition towards fear-driven hostility; towards what we anachronistically term primitive behavior another instinct is just as firmly encoded in our make-up. We are capable as our ancestors were of incredible breathtaking acts of kindness. Every hour of every day a man risks his life at a moments notice to save another. Forget for a moment the belligerent benevolent billionaires who grant the unfortunate a crumb of costfree cake. I speak of pure acts of selflessness. A Mother who rushes into the street to save a child from a speeding vehicle. A person who runs into a burning building to reach a family trapped on the upper story. Such actions,such moments,such unconscious selfless decisions,define what it is to be human
