Yes. I read your commend and then looked up “shootings prevented by armed citizens” and came to a Buzzfeed article called “9 Potential that were stopped by someone with a personally owned firearm” and...people still died. Even when “just” the attacker dies, it’s still a tragedy and an absolute failure on the part of…

Re: the nurse, that was my guess. I thought that nurse’s reaction was purposefully odd. She had bigger things on her mind than a runaway junkie.

I don’t live there anymore - my husband finished his PhD. However I would imagine that my experience with living in Ithaca is not going to really be comparable as those living associated with Weill in NYC.

The boyfriend’s acting makes my skin crawl, it’s so smarmy. Hers is not much better. I’m posting about it here because…

My wife would like to use your toilet.

You know, I had just gotten this song >out< of my head. Thanks a lot.

I just wanted to tell him that maybe if he didn’t buy one, he wouldn’t need the other. But I just avoided eye contact instead.
