Holy SHIT, Friend. That right there is called ‘intentional infliction of emotional distress.’ It’s also against the law (in most jurisdictions) to make a false call to law enforcement. They very much frown on people intentionally wasting their time.

I am very sorry.

You are never too old for a major reset, and sometimes a different country is ideal. I’ve lived in four countries in my life - the last when I was about 41. If you can, do it.

UGH with this show, even though I loved it for many seasons. The worst character by far is Papa Pope. The drawn-out monologues, the super-secret spy ring, the straight up evil of the man. And why is he still alive? EVERYONE has reason to kill him, yet here he is, impervious to assassination.

This piece is excellent. Thank you.

Eww.

My cats have been: Sam, Ralph, Noah, and Mr. Smith. No kitties at the moment, but my list of potential names includes Murray, Chuck, and Thomas Jefferson.

That is a seriously beautiful cat.

Cutie! And good luck with the new doctor!

Hahaha! That is both hilarious and awful! Like going to the mall doesn’t suck enough.... Keep saying No, you’re doing the Lord’s work.

Oh man. That rainbow tweet from Ellen has me choked up.

Metro DC needs a PR person. Just fyi.
