Anne

Her delivery on that was perfect. "Yes, sure. Perfectly normal to have a rat in the pantry..."

Aren't we all

Beautiful photos

It's a nightmare.

Our situations are surely different, but I get what you're saying. When I expect the worst and it doesn't happen, there's a feeling of relief. Maybe that's why I do it? I don't know. It doesn't make sense.

Someone once told me not to grieve, regret, fear or worry abt something before its time. If you get stressed/miserable before a bad thing (that may not even occur) happens, how can you deal with it when it does? It's the 'what ifs' that hurt & mess with you. Hard to avoid them but worth trying.

i find this notion that public spending is illegitimate bizarre as a matter of economics but totally legible as a statement of moral economy. and as per any strict system of morality, the punishment is part of the appeal. they are punishing the american people for believing in the public good.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you get some relief soon.

Do you have access to a pain management specialist? You've probably already pursued it but thought I'd mention it just the same. It was a positive experience for me.

Are the chances good that this show will be renewed?

A very nice photo for you to have.

It's so nice when people you admire so much are kind. By all accounts, Anna is that kind of person.

How wonderful. A special day for you for sure.

It's her best, in my opinion. You might really like it.

There's nothing wrong w/ you. Many aren't comfortable in their own company as hard as they try; that you can do it is a feat & a reason to like yourself. My dad often used the cliché "everything in its time." The older I get, the more I realize how true it is. Truly, there's nothing wrong with you.

You don't sound stupid at all.

Thanks. It's been a learning curve.

I am not downplaying how emotionally invested some people are and mean no offense.

This is my 1st experience with fandom. Fun & weird at the same time. Early on I was scolded for something I said, so I try not to say too much. I know the show matters a lot to many people, but it's not that hard to ignore things you don't agree with about a TV series. It's not life or death stuff.

You're likely to enjoy it. Museums are one of my favorite places to go alone. If you want to just stand & look at one piece the whole time, nobody cares.

That's such a beautiful song. Very underrated.

Happy to see you back in Darrowby 🎄

It's surreal.

Anticipatory grief makes the present harder. It's far easier said than done, but worth the effort to focus on the now, who & what you have. You will look back someday and remember the precious times. 2/2

This helped me, so I'm sharing. I don't presume to know what's best for you - just trying to help. Someone told me once to try not to go into mourning before it is time. There will be time for it later. 1/2

If you like musicals, "In the Good Old Summertime" is also based on the same story. You might already know that, but thought I'd share just in case.

It's one of my all-time favorites.
