family; mortality; bad moods
@zebratron2084 it may be healthy in fairly small amounts, but it gets toxic real quick.
a long time ago, a friend of mine gave me a phrase: "you don't get what you want, you don't get what you need, you don't get what you deserve--you get what you get." the corollary is that sometimes, if you're lucky or work for it, it can be what you want/need/deserve. but it always is just what it is. fate rarely makes value judgements.
@literorrery yeeeeeee! I hope I can come over to visit during the time @Oneironott is here! ^___^
@noelle it surely, surely does. my deepest sympathies and empathy. :|
both cats love watching the birds and squirrels on the porch (with occasional tail-wiggling, mrr-chirping, and abruptly ended pounces), but Nar is fascinated by crows in particular. nothing grabs his attention like a crow hanging around the porch--even similarly-sized birds don't excite him as much. our joke is that Nar, being a black cat, thinks that the crows are "his people" and wants to go outside to join them...
@noelle lolololol yeah that's exactly what I would do. >______<
"Witch" is an ancient word that hasn't changed much in form or meaning. It's always basically meant someone who uses magic or divination.
It comes from ME "wicche", from OE "wicce", "wicca"; that's derived from "wiccian" ("to practice sorcery"), which is from Proto-Germanic *wikkōną, which itself is from PIE *wik-néh, meaning "to consecrate, separate, set aside".
Side note: we get "victim" from the same source; its ancestor referred to a consecrated sacrifice.

@adeptomega I'm sorry, I don't understand what you said.
@Elizafox conservative age range: lower end of Boomers. liberal age range: firmly in GenX. WELP. *quiet cheer of "go, us!"*
