Someone needs to clarify extended family obligations and reciprocity and related concepts, because just now, I am having issues. Yeah, I know, I'm not giving any context. Infer randomly, you have a 50/50 shot. Corollary inquiry: what is a normal family and does anybody really have one? #notreallyrhetoricalquestions

So, my uncle died last night.

So, my uncle died last night. That should be a self-contained statement, but there's all this detritus around that, and it has and is contributing significantly badly to the circumstances of which many of you are aware and I care more about my dad, anyway, and this is all just so completely messed up and you don't want to hear all the stuff I wouldn't post on here anyway so screw that and have a run on sentence.  #whosaidlifeisfair   #ftn

As of the last few days, the realization has formed that is has been quite some time since I lived anywhere with, shall we say, a classic type of fall weather.  And now I remember why I really, really like it.

Hi, knowledgeable people and people with opinions.

Hi, knowledgeable people and people with opinions. For various reasons, I am considering switching cell providers. I lack some info, however, the interwebs claims Virgin Mobile has a plan for the iphn that costs half (or less) than what Verizon (my current provider) does. They supposedly function on the Sprint network.   Do any of you have experience/info re: Virgin, Sprint, how well they function/how reliable they are, is it all too good to be true, etc.? I have 1 year left on my Verizon plan and it would cost me the price of less than 2 months service to break the contract. In theory, I should be able to keep my phone number, but I also want to keep my phone, which I don't know if that's possible (should be?). Please to be telling me what you think/know/came to you while willicking. Thx.
Hearing music from their new album just reminded me that I'm bummed The Civil Wars broke up.
I should go back to doing work and stuff. But first, maybe coffee and homemade (by someone else) donut?
Some days, you just feel really lonely.
