And to think of How I Titled that Drawing now.

[harp]

I'm probably late as flip on this. Forgive me; I generally get my news from Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me about a week late. You've probably heard about the flooding in Queensland already.

Thing is, I've got a frie- a bro out there in one of the tinier towns and I'm really worried. Not just about her, but about her husband, her step-daughter, her fish (they're her darlings), and her neighbor boy that she's really good friends with. Really worried about neighbor-boy, actually. I just looked on one of the maps and it looks like her town was hit pretty hard.

I should've known- her last post on the 3rd was talking about the non-stop rain and how people were having to fly to work. Though in a way, I should be happy, I guess. If she knew how bad it was on the third, maybe it means she and her family were getting flood preparation in place by then. She's got one of the quickest minds I've ever encountered, and as for planners, you couldn't find better ones outside of trained pros.

'Course I'm just saying the things I want someone else to say to me. I'm so worried. Even if she's ok, I'm wondering about that neighbor boy.



Yeah, so...if you're able to send a donation, any at all, won't you? For the people whose own "Grue"(s) aren't so fortunate or resourceful or tactical practical. But money's really tight right now, so if all you can spare are really, really powerful good thoughts, that's good, too.

Mind if your picture made me sniffle?

[harpsi-fizz.livejournal.com]

I don't mind, Barsuk. She'll be ok... she has to be.

[barsukthom.livejournal.com]

Good thoughts. We're thinking good thoughts. They'll all be okay.

[harpsi-fizz.livejournal.com]

I appreciate it <3

Oh, Grue! You're alright! I wasn't sure because I knew that Mr's daughter is there for the month and that you'd be indisposed, but your town was listed right on the map of "affected areas" that someone posted and then I remembered your last post and... nngh.

Kindly ignore that stupid spam my gmail sent out, by the way. All's well here and I'll see you when you come around, too. It's just good to know that the phone was the only casualty.

(And thank you for telling me that B is ok, too)

I see nothing in the weather reports to indicate it's raining meat and red paint.

[harpsi-fizz.livejournal.com]

You just made me read the words "weeping meat". You must never do this again; it makes baby Cody Alister* cry.

Saw the latest- Yaay!

[harpsi-fizz.livejournal.com]

Yes, isn't it wonderful? :D Even Neighbor-boy B is ok!

If disaster strikes the Midwest, you and I will both be deadsies, so we won't write it in our journals.

[barsukthom.livejournal.com]

Oh, it depends on the disaster... ;>

[harpsi-fizz.livejournal.com]

Uh... KUTULU's alarm clock goes off.

Ooh. Well, You're screwed. Lake Monsters'll come boilin' out of Lake Michigan.
We'll have a few days grace as whatever tries munchin' its way up th' Ol' Mississip'.
We may bolt for Canada, but then Ithaqua/Wendigo would be waitin' for us.
West... Bears. And angry Sasquatches.
F*ck. We're both screwed, aren't we?
Oh, well. Hugs, while we got arms.
