Anna says Margo and Paul are home- no details, but that's good, yes? Julia, I did sleep but that was all down to the evil sedating kind of antihistamine.

Julia: What is the news on the Sister front? How is she?
Sue: So sorry about the bad reactions to the upcoming Angler Event. People are infamous for making wrong conclusions. Really, though, the appearance of the name "Cheney" brings on the same reaction as the name "Agnew" did for an earlier generation (sayeth I, member of said generation)>
Spring: Congratulations on the latest proof that you too are a yammerer from 'way back!

Taking a moment to rant/whine/whatever. Please feel absolutely free to skip this, and if you do happen to read it know that no one should feel any obligation to reply--I just really need to vent. Because the fundraiser where Cheney is a guest is less than a month away, it's once again getting notice. Which means we're once again seeing stuff like this and this. Not to mention the lovely emails and letters. I'm just so... tired of it, not to mention beyond frustrated. I'm tired of being called names, of the insults, of folks not even attempting to get the whole story or see the other side, and of not being able to respond. I'm tired of people who've never taken notice of us before--if they even knew the museum existed--suddenly giving us tons of grief. I'm tired of all this righteous indignation from those who have no idea that we've had to lay off friends and still sometimes struggle to cover payroll. I'm just so fucking tired of all of it, and there's absolutely nothing I can do about any of it. Okay, that's it. Back to your regularly scheduled programming. And thanks for giving me a safe place to talk. Man, where do people get the energy to be so self-righteous and grating? *looks around for empty cans of 8-Hour-Sanctimony*

Sara - I hate that you have to deal with idiots. Some distraction for your morning: Fantasy violence for your pleasure:

Yes, it is good. *Hugs* I'll keep the good vibes up and running for you and your sister. Thanks- I'm still lacking in details, and don't want to call because I'm sure everyone needs sleep. Franklin's got to retrieve Anna before he goes to work so I expect more will be known then. Julia, this would be easier to deal with if she wasn't so close-mouthed; I don't even know if she's on BP meds or anything which would be a common cause of massive potassium imbalance.

Speaking of distraction....Thanks for all the posting goodness of the past 5 years (5, right?), Spring!
Carry on!

Congrats on not being able to shut your trap, Springaling! I found a couple of really hot guys for you, but they are so hot I had to put them behind a spoiler tag to keep them from burning everyone with their hotness: Enjoy! ;D Evil! . . . . I love it. ;D

Congrats on the many posts, Spring! I give you a dual-purpose present . . . <snip> See, this way you get both Cas and the delight of watching Monnie go ballistic. Now, don't say I never gave you anything. You're an angel with an angel! It is perfect!

Congrats on the many posts, Spring! I give you a dual-purpose present . . . <snip> See, this way you get both Cas and the delight of watching Monnie go ballistic. Now, don't say I never gave you anything. Wait, First - Monnie does not own Cas. I claimed him before her. Let's be clear here. Second - Spring does not get Cas. He belongs to Monnie and Me. You Lola are evil. Third - Congratulations Spring for whatever it is we are congratulating you for as I haven't backread yet today. Fourth- Are we all now clear on the Cas situation? AHEM!!!! Monnie may be more vocal but I ADORE CAS. AS IN ADORE. OMG, Pixi went ballasitic too! BONUS!!! Lola, you ARE evil. Yes, and I don't say this lightly, that's some Erin-level evil you got going there.

Congrats on not being able to shut your trap, Springaling! I found a couple of really hot guys for you, but they are so hot I had to put them behind a spoiler tag to keep them from burning everyone with their hotness: <snip> Enjoy! ;D Well, my eyeballs are definitely burnt . . . Here is a story to make you feel guilty about being so mean to me: I just got back from lunch. On my way back, I tripped and fell on in the asphalt parking lot. Two cute guys stopped to check on me and help. I really banged up and scraped my hands and one side of my face! So not only did it hurt, but my beauty was marred! Even as I type this, my hands hurt and my jaw and cheekbone ache. I'm putting ice on it, but I'm thinking tomorrow morning, I'm sure to look like Buffy after a fight with the ubervamps (or sex with Spike). I hope you feel appropriately guilty and have learned your lesson.

Oh, shit. Paul just called- they're waiting for the ambulance to take Margo to the hospital, and someone needs to go stay with Andrew. J, freaking out entirely. Sorry to hear.

And thanks for giving me a safe place to talk. Yeeeee. Sorry to have to put up with this, whine anytime. I looked at the comments, and saw only one that seemed to possibly understand the situation - i.e., the guy who suggested that people who don't like this "buy out" the event. At least he gets that $$ are needed, and he's not just bitching aimlessly. I don't mind people complaining if we plan to do X, but I always hate the complaining that doesn't acknowledge the very real reasons we plan to do X, or suggest alternatives for addressing those issues.
